Broken Bow
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
- For the episode of the same name, see "Broken Bow", and for its novelization, see Broken Bow.
Broken Bow is a small town located in Oklahoma on Earth.
In April 2151, a Klingon K'toch-class scoutship crash-landed here while the occupant of the craft, Klaang, was being pursued by agents of the Suliban Cabal. Klaang was shot by a farmer named Moore whose silo he had destroyed.
The near-fatal shooting of Klaang nearly caused a diplomatic incident that took all the powers of Ambassadors Soval and Tos to prevent. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Colonel Grat, who was aware of the Klingon crash in Oklahoma, later asked Jonathan Archer if he had ever been to Oklahoma, as he attempted to get some insight on what the Cabal were doing there. (ENT: "Detained")
