5. Information about the groups
==========================================================
The groups are sorted alphabetically: fan clubs, then language groups
Please remember: most clubs are pure fan organizations - without
excess finances backing their postage costs. So please provide a SASE
(Self Adressed Stamped Envelope) when asking for further information.
If you write to a foreign country, please provide two or three ICR
(International Reply Coupons). These can be bought at your local post
office and (that's the trick) changed into local stamps in
nearly every post office around the world.

DTW P'rang
----------------------------------------------------------
We are involved in activities with some of the local sci-fi cons, we
try to invade as many as possible. WE also invade the local
Renaissance Faires and show them how the knights size up to the
Klingons and to SHOUT on our champion. We do role playing and are in
the middle of setting up a DnD style game. We travel for the opennings
of the new Star Trek Movies. We love a
good battle with bumper cars and lazar tag.

KAI - Klingon Armada International
----------------------------------------------------------
The Klingon Armada International (KAI) is a multi-faceted group
of fans who have taken our love of Star Trek and turned into a high
profile, fun-loving club. Unlike many Star Trek fan clubs, KAI does
not charge any dues, and consists entirely of fans who adopt Klingon
personas and appearance. We have "ships," local chapters in several
states and we're growing steadily. We participate in the traditional
Star Trek activities such as conventions and movie premiers; we get
together for meetings and social activities, and we take an active
interest in the community and charity service, usually in full Klingon
battle gear, gives us high visibility and takes us a step above other
clubs. New members are encouraged to become uniformed as soon as
possible, so they may also enjoy the attention and fun. KAI offers
resources and assistance on costuming, make-up, and accessories to
help all of our warriors look their best.
Working on the theory that lending our Klingon personas to a good
cause can be very rewarding for everyone involved, we have made this
aspect of KAI our challenge to Star Trek fandom. And, as everyone
knows, Klingons just love a good challenge.
KAI members have answered telephones for public television in several
cities across the country; given demonstrations in shopping malls,
public libraries, sci-fi conventions, and schools; participated as
guests at local sporting events and conventions; run various panels
and activities at sci-fi conventions; performed on-and-off stage in
several major cities; we have participated in food, toy and blood
drives as well as walk-a-thons and bowl-a-thons; we have raised funds
and goods for children, the elderly and animals; and promoted Trek
products in local stores. And this is just the abeginning.
Also available to members is The Catalyst, the official
newsletter of KAI. Members are encouraged to send in accounts of
their victories and escapades. The Catalyst keeps members
up-to-date on the goings-on around the fleet. New information or
changing procedures are always announced in the newsletter.
The Catalyst is essential for distant members or those without
a ship.

KAG - Klingon Assault Group
----------------------------------------------------------
The KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP is a not-for-profit STAR TREK fan
organization. There are NO DUES here, and our growth is based on
communication and cooperation. Klingon Uniforms aren't required, but
to advance within our ranks a uniform will be necessary. Promotions
are based solely on merit, level of involvement.
We are International in scope, covering different areas around the globe
with ships and members in places like Canada, Britain, Italy, Japan,
Romania and Argentina to just name a few.
What does KAG do?
KAG has Fun.
Our members go to fan conventions and intimidate other species. We
help charities with food and blood drives, like our "Feed the Earther"
program or the annual "Blood Feud."
* We win costume contests at conventions.
* We throw excellent parties.
* We host events like DIS Qujmey - The Klingon Years Games, a fun
weekend get-away featuring Olympic-like activities.
* We share in the richness of Klingon culture and the Klingon
Language...
* ...and did I mention conventions?
Why is KAG growing?
Good Question. It's phenomenal...
* Perhaps people have come to realize that being human is boring.
* Perhaps they wish to join the original "party-animal" species.
* Perhaps they appreciate the pride and craftsmanship that goes
into an armored Klingon Uniform.
* Perhaps they just want to move up in the food chain.
What ever the reason, We're Awesome, and getting Awesomer!
Advancing In Rank:
The KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP has Fleets and Squadrons, all built from
members working together to form individual warships (shipboard-type
local groups). All it takes to get a scoutship up and running are five
interested and involved Klingons.
To those that would command such a vessel: you will need drive,
determination, and organizational skills. Upon joining, KAG COMMAND will
place you aboard the nearest KAG vessel, or
assist you in starting one of your own.
Force Recon: If you know little of the Klingon Empire, or live in an
area where there are no KAG ships yet, this KAG division is for you.
Here, one can learn of names and line-names, language, ships,
weaponry, and arts of the Klingon Empire.
There are other KAG units--Marines, IXL (Imperial Xeno Legion,
Quartermasters- -but the first step is to determine whether you have
the KLINGON SPIRIT in your heart and soul. If so, fill out the form

Thema: Re: Klingon Geography

Datum: Wed, 04 Mar 1998 09:48:56 -0600
The KDC and the Dorsai Irregulars are still quite active in the midwest and
Canada, their traditional haunts.
We are not affiliated with or related to the west-coast "Klingon Diplomatic
Corp" group ~ they appear to have used the name without knowledge of our
prior existance, nor are we affiliated with or related to the "Klingon
Imperial Diplomatic Corp", though they are aware of us and our history.
The Klingon Diplomatic Corp were the *first* Klingon group, appearing in May
of 1973 at Starcon 1 in Detroit ~ long before being Klingon became
fashionable. We did all the early Trek cons, including the legendary Riotcon
in New York in '76 (thirty Klingons as security against 30,000 angry
ticketholders) and have appeared in "Time" magazine.
Our most recent KDC appearance was at Primedia 2 in Toronto, Canada.
Check out the Dorsai Irregulars website for photos and a timeline of the DI

KIDC - Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps
----------------------------------------------------------
The Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps is an international, not-for-profit,
cultural and educational organization dedicated to fostering and promoting
Klingon culture, traditions and society here on Terra.
The KIDC is headquartered at the Klingon Imperial Embassy in Montreal,
Canada. It currently has members in numerous countries around the world
including: Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Israel, Japan,
Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Sweden and the United States. Our
members range in age from 8 to 78 years of age and come from a wide range of
occupations and lifestyles. Many Klingons who have joined us have commented
how many close kinships have been formed between themselves and other
members, and a tight-knit and extremely supportive Klingon community has
developed as a result. In times of crisis, our members have been known to
make extraordinary efforts in providing both assistance and moral support to
their fellow Klingons, both in and out of the KIDC.
Participation by our members takes many forms; personal correspondence with
other members by regular mail or e-mail, submitting articles and
participating in our many popular electronic mailing lists, make-up and
costuming workshops, and attending such events as Klingon feasts, Diplomatic
Receptions, movie premieres and SF/Trek conventions. Over 80% of our
membership has access to the Internet and e-mail, so we have many
Internet-based projects and programs. Our members have also participated in
food drives as well as numerous other community and charitable events in
their local areas. We even have a "Klingon Mentorship Program" to match new
recruits to more experienced members in order to gently guide them into the
world of Klingon culture and to become more comfortable within the KIDC and
its' ways.
The Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps Domain
http://www.klingon.org/ is the largest and most popular Klingon
website in the world, with over 225 pages of fascinating and intriguing
information relating to the Empire and it's people. The KIDC site is also
recognized by most major Klingon clubs and groups as the largest Klingon
cultural resource on the Internet.
The KIDC site has won over 90 awards for its originality in content, design
and innovation; including being chosen as one of Yahoo! Internet Life
Magazine's "Top Ten Star Trek Websites" in the world! The KIDC is well-known
for providing valuable resources and services to the Klingon community at
large; such as the famous "Klingon Internet Directory" and "Klingon ICQ
Directory", the only centralized listings of Klingons from around the globe.
The KIDC has also established the "Klingon Imperial Weapons Guild" under the
guiding hand of our Chief of Staff, Commander K'Daq Zantai Kasara.
For more complete information about the KIDC's structure and organization
and the advantages of membership, please visit our website and check out the

"Do you hear the cry of the warrior calling you to battle, calling you
to glory?"
The KLINGON LEGION OF ASSAULT WARRIORS (K.L.A.W.) is a dynamic
interactive Star Trek fan organization devoted to the promotion of
Klingon supremacy and Klingon fandom (Klindom.) As a Klingon group,
our activities are organized with a Klingon theme while furthering the
concepts and ideas of Star Trek. K.L.A.W.'s primary mission is to
have fun.
K.L.A.W. is first and foremost a Star Trek fan organization, based on
the Klingon ideology. To this end we adopt a Klingon, or as we
prefer, a Klin attitude in our dealings among ourselves and others.
Vessels (a.k.a. chapters) are encouraged to keep an active social
schedule; many are also engaged in a variety of community service
projects.
K.L.A.W. maintains an overall timeline that is concurrent with the
Star Trek movies. Members assume the roles and responsibilities of
Klingon officers or crew members assigned to various departments
(a.k.a. specialties) on each vessel.

KLAS - Klingons Lending Assistance and Support
----------------------------------------------------------
KLAS is made up of people who wish to role play as Klingons or Aliens
that would serve aboard a Klingon Ship. We like to do the same things
that other clubs do, go to conventions, watch the movies, and
participate in role playing games. We do however have an active part
in the community. We go to children's wards at the hospitals and
child care homes to entertain the children and get their minds off
their problems for a little while. We go to the mental and physical
handicap homes to entertain and show them their is a difference
between reality and fiction. We work with charity groups such as MDA,
and others to help raise money for their orgainzations. We go to
summer camps and put on shows and work with the kids. We work with
the school systems in our area to put on programs teaching the kids
things like honesty and honor, or what ever the schools want to
promote. We work with local business in our area to promote their
special sales and promotions. We participate in parades and local
events. We help promote items we feel there should be a concern for
in the community and bring people's attention to it. In short we are
active in giving back to the community as well as having a lot of fun.
In the past year KLAS has formed an elite security force to assist in
the establishing and maintaining of order at conventions.

KAF - Komorex Attack Fleet
----------------------------------------------------------
The Komerex Fleet?
Komerex is defined by the Klingon Dictionary as that which grows. And within
fandom as well as the Klingon 'game of life', that is what we are
doing!
The Komerex Fleet is the base organization with alliances to other clubs
and organizations. We are the (mostly) Klingon side.
The 'Battle Council', which is comprised of Thought Admirals chosen on the
basis of honor, integrity, knowledge, and experience head the fleet and
oversee the general operation of the fleet. The Battle Council is comprised
of multiple people to keep things fair and honorable for all. The council is
the head of a 'chain of command' that starts with the Captain and First
officer of each ship, and progresses thru battlegroups, to sector and back
to the Battle Council. The Battle council maintains an "open door" policy
of listening to everyone with a question or problem.
The Komerex Alliance:
Nothing changes within your group or organization when you form an alliance
with the Komerex Fleet. An alliance with us merely recognizes the fact that
we both exist within fandom and you want to 'role-play' or join activities
with us. Aligned organizations will continue to govern themselves as they
wish. Each group that is aligned with us has the option of representation
in the council.
What we're all about:
The bottom line here is that yes, we are a Klingon structured organization.
However, we are more much than that---We have formed out of the desires of
those who enjoy the FUN and comraderie that can come from fandom. We all
work together as a unit.. our goal... a positive future; We strive each day
to fufill the Komerex motto: One for ALL, not all for one, living and
playing in Roddenberry's vision.. As a whole, we may not be the largest fan
club, but size is not what we strive for.. we seek the quality.... not the
quantity...
There are NO membership fees. The Komerex Fleet zine is mailed
quarterly and costs; $10 per year. (Editor Sr.Lt. Qo'Bah vestai Qlavaq,

The Most Ancient Order Of The Knights Of The Qaptaq
----------------------------------------------------------
The qaptaQ is an organization dedicated to the Klingon ideals of
Honor, Glory, Strength and Straightforwardness. The qaptaQ way of
life is often summarized by the principle of Nal Komerex Khesterex:
That which does not grow, shall wither and die.
The qaptaQ testify to the great loyalty and fidelity which is to be
found in all Klingons everywhere: the pride inherent in the greatness
which has sprung from the Klingon warrior since the earliest of times.
The qaptaQ fight for a way of life, a total philosophy.
The qaptaQ has, as its speculative origins a rich pre-history
extrapolated from the fictional 23rd and 24th centuries portrayed in
the various incarnations of Star Trek. In addition, the qaptaQ owes
much of its support to a series of original works authored by many of
its members. Such works often depict periods far back in time, before
the mighty race known as the Klingons had developed spaceflight or a
common cultural identity.
The operative origin of the qaptaQ is deeply rooted in the counter
culture of the Klingons which has evolved around Star Trek in all its
forms.
The main focus of the qaptaQ is based around the exploration of the
political, cultural, and spiritual lives of that most noble of people,
the warriors of the Klingon Empire, as well as the possible history of
the Empire as portrayed in the various embodiments of Star Trek.
The central belief of all qaptaQ is that all Klingons are warriors
and some Klingons become strategists but precious few learn the
philosophy of the way of the warrior. Such warriors as do so learn
may one day come to join the ranks of the knights of the qaptaQ.
The essence of the qaptaQ way of life may be apprehended by
non-members through the creed of the warrior:
The creed of the warrior:
I have no parents: I make the heavens and the earth my parents.
I have no home: I make awareness my home.
I have no death: I make the tides of breathing my death.
I have no divine power: I make honesty my divine power.
I have no means: I make understanding my means.
I have no magic secret: I make character my magic secret.
I have no body: I make endurance my body.
I have no eyes: I make the flash of lightning my eyes.
I have no ears: I make sensibility my ears.
I have no limbs: I make promptness my limbs.
I have no strategy: I make "unshadowed by thought" my strategy.
I have no designs: I make "seizing opportunity by the forelock" my design.
I have no miracles: I make right action my miracles.
I have no principles: I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles.
I have no tactics: I make emptiness and fullness my tactics.
I have no talents: I make ready wit my talent.
I have no friends: I make my mind my friend.
I have no enemy: I make carelessness my enemy.
I have no armor: I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.
I have no castle: I make immovable mind my castle.
I have no sword: I make absence of self my sword.

members may at times be required to provide materials and services for
the exclusive use of the organization at their own expense.

Klingon Language Institute
----------------------------------------------------------
Now in its seventh year of operation, the Klingon Language Institute
continues its mission of bringing together individuals interested in
the study of Klingon linguistics and culture, and providing a forum
for discussion and the exchange of ideas. Our membership is diverse,
including Star Trek fans with curiosity and questions about Klingon
language, RP gamers wishing to lend some authenticity to a Klingon
character, as well as students and professionals in the fields of
linguistics, philology, computer science, and psychology who see the
Klingon language as a useful metaphor in the classroom or simply wish
to mix vocation with avocation. Though based in the USA, the
Institute is actually an international endeavor, presently reaching
over forty countries on every continents (yes, even Antarctica!). The
efforts of the KLI have been formally acknowledged by Paramount who
granted us a license for our work.
Our primary means of pursuing our mission is our quarterly journal,
HolQeD. Not simply a newsletter, HolQeD is a referred journal
utilizing peer review. Each issue includes columns, articles,
interviews, and letters exploring the Klingon language. HolQeD is
indexed by the Modern Language Association and is registered with
the Library of Congress (ISSN: 1061-2327).
The KLI has gained a great deal of attention in the press for our
translations efforts, specifically our Klingon Shakespeare Restoration
Project (KSRP) and Klingon Bible Translation Project (KBTP). In March
of 1996 we published a limited edition hardbound translation of Hamlet
(ISBN: 0-9644345-1-2) and plan to continue with a new play each year
from here out. You can find samples from both the KSRP and the KBTP
for your enjoyment at our FTP site (ftp.kli.org). In addition
to translation, another or our efforts is the Klingon Writing Project
(KWP) which for the last two years has published the KLI's literary
supplement, jatmey, original poetry and fiction composed in Klingon.
From our website (http://www.kli.org), we
attempt to provide the definitive resource for anyone interested in
the Klingon language. This includes a constantly updated list of all
Klingon words from sources other than Okrand's dictionary (e.g.,
interviews in our journal, Skybox trading cards). Other pages include
audio files of Klingon phrases, past winners of wordplay contests from
the pages of HolQeD (come see our Klingon pallindromes!), a GIF file
of a KLI classroom painted by noted artist and Guggenheim fellow Peter
Waite, a world map of the spread of the KLI, and much more.
For individuals just getting started, we offer a free postal course
which allows beginners a chance to study the language at their own
pace. We also maintain the tlhIngan-Hol mailing list on the Internet
and have instituted a "Beginners' Grammarian" whose sole function is
to be there to respond to the kinds of questions and posts that
beginners ask, preventing a newcomer from being inundated or
overwhelmed by more experienced Klingonists.
In January we began the "KLI Talker Page," a virtual conference call
on the web which allows people from anywhere in the world to actually
speak to one another in real time, and to practice their Klingon
skills outloud with other speakers. We also continue to maintain a
small MUSH (mush.kli.org 2218) where Klingon fans
can go to practice their language skills in a written format. The
focus is not on roleplaying, but just in being able to meet and chat
(in Klingon or otherwise) with other Klingon enthusiasts.
Beginning in March of 1996, the KLI acquired Merchant Status and now
accepts VISA and MasterCard for memberships, as well as KLI materials
including all backissues of our quarterly journal, HolQeD; copies of
jatmey, our literary supplement; our illustrated guide to the verbal
suffixes of Klingon; and our latest book: a compilation of articles by
Captain Krankor taken from the first four years of HolQeD. We also
carry the complete range of Klingon books and tapes from Simon &
Schuster, and make these available to Klingon enthusiasts outside the
USA who might otherwise not be able to find them. Orders can be placed
online at our Merchant page (http://www.kli.org/kli/Merchant.phtml).
Finally, every July the KLI holds its annual meeting or qep'a'. This
is a five day event bringing together some of the most proficient
Klingon speakers in the world. There are no celebrity guests (though
last year Marc Okrand made a surprise visit!), no costume competition,
and no movie room. Instead, the qep'a' is more like a cross between a
relax-a-con and professional conference. There are discussion
sections on topics such as teaching Klingon, curse warfare, and
Klingon translations. Attendence is small, but for one week each year
at the qep'a' Klingon truly becomes a living language. The meeting ends
with a banquet on the last night.
