History of STO's Klingon Faction

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I've started this thread because of some statements made about the early development of the Klingon faction, statements that, frankly, I just can't reconcile with my own memories of pre-beta history. However, I fully realize that my own memory is faulty (more on this later), so I figured it might be informative and fun to have a thread where people can post various links relevant to the development of the Klingon faction.

Though this may be unrealistic, I hope we can keep this thread to "just the facts." Let it be a more-or-less objective depository for information that can be used in other debates - or even a place to reminisce about those early days when we knew little to nothing about STO Klingons.

To start, I owe the community an apology. Even while I was trying to fight misinformation in other threads, I was peddling some myself. I'd been saying that we didn't know that the Klingon faction would be about PvP until December, when, in fact, the news was out as early as October, and hinted at in September:

Zinc - "a lot more PvP to the Klingon side" (September 2009):

Two interviews in October 2009:

Further digging brought up these archived threads discussing the news. Fun reads - kinda brought a nostalgic tear to my eye *sniff*

Any other links? Either to settle a point or just for fun?
