[edit] Klingon guard 1

This Klingon was a prison guard at Rura Penthe in 2152. He used a pain stick on Kolos. Archer attacked him and used the pain stick on him. After subduing Archer, he threatened to have Archer spend the night on the surface where no one survives. (ENT: "Judgment")

[edit] Klingon guard 2

This Klingon was a prison guard on Rura Penthe in 2152. He shocked Jonathan Archer with a painstik after Archer had attacked another guard that had shocked Kolos. (ENT: "Judgment")

[edit] Klingon commandant

In 2293, this Klingon commandant was the commander in charge of the penal colony on Rura Penthe. The Commandant was also part of the Khitomer Conspiracy and was ordered by General Chang to allow James Kirk and Leonard McCoy to make an escape attempt so they would appear to have been killed while trying to escape. The Commandant captured them escaping as planned and was about to tell them who wanted them killed before executing them when they were beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Unnamed prisoners

[edit] Behemoth alien

This humanoid species was noticeably taller and stronger than most. One of them was incarcerated at Rura Penthe in 2293 and was an acquaintance of Martia. When Captain James Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy first arrived at the prison, the Behemoth alien, picked up the Captain, demanding both his allegiance to the Brotherhood of Aliens and his coat. Kirk was unable to understand him as his universal translator had been confiscated. The behemoth later backed off at Martia's insistence. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Blue-skinned Alien with pointy ears

A blue-skinned alien with long, pointed ears (much longer than Vulcans or Romulans), one of them was a prisoner at Rura Penthe in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] The Brute

This alien was actually Martia, a Chameloid alien, in another form. She had chosen this form to get into a level in the Rura Penthe mine, where females were not allowed. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Bug-Eyed Alien

A grayish-green-skinned alien with protruding, bug-like eyes, one of them was a prisoner at Rura Penthe in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Feline Alien

A green feline alien was a prisoner at Rura Penthe in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Horned Alien

This humanoid species had blue, scaly skin and horns of varying size protruding all over their heads. One of these aliens was imprisoned by the Klingons at Rura Penthe in 2293 and got into a fight with Captain James Kirk. When Kirk was able to incapacitate the alien with a kick to both knees, Martia pointed out "not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Klingon prisoner

This Klingon was a prisoner on Rura Penthe in 2152. He was present in a mine when Jonathan Archer and his advocate Kolos were brought into the prison. (ENT: "Judgment")

[edit] Background information

In deleted scenes from Star Trek, Klingons captured the Narada after the USS Kelvin crashed into it and imprisoned Nero for the next twenty-five years. These Klingon guards wore helmets and thick coats, which costume designer Michael Kaplan respectively modelled on a horseshoe crab and elephant and rhino skin. J. J. Abrams said the masks allowed them to avoid selecting Klingons that did or did not have the augment virus. According to him and the producers on the audio commentary for the deleted scenes, the Klingons come up to Nero in large numbers and throw him a chain to cuff himself because they're actually scared of him.

The Klingons in the deleted scenes were portrayed by Victor Garber, who played the interrogator, stuntman T.J. Storm, and background actors Terryl Daluz, Brandon Stacy, Scott Trimble, and James D. Weston II.

The deleted scene also included many extras, including creatures that were homages to the Gorn and the M-113 creature.
