Is that Gowron?

Probably not, but the new/latest Star Trek Online banner (the one we're all seeing above when we're on the forums etc) has two Klingon's essentially facing off against each other; we've got Martok on the right, and then another Klingon (based off of their Disco appearance) on the right, and I can't help but notice that he resembles Gowron - at least if Gowron was a Disco Klingon.

I haven't played any of the new content, so it may be the case, and there may be an explanation to go along with it, or it may just be one grand coincidence, but I would very much like to know whether it's my eyes that're deceiving me, or whether there's intentional similarities with that image.

    Cheers for the answer folks. Nice little addition from Cryptic here then, and naturally great to have Robert O'Reilly in the game.

    Honestly I think I'd rather they brought back Gowron as his mirror version or a clone than as a klingorc.

    Personally I think they blended the TNG and DSC versions pretty well with Aakar. Hell... I think there's more TNG than DSC in Aakar. He just happens to be bald. And we have seen dang near bald Klingons in the past, like General Chang.

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    Yeah that's how they should have done DSC klinks in the first place, don't fix what ain't broke, while the at the same time up dating the make-up for modern days.

    It shows that in Discovery season 2 they changed the make up to look more like TNG.

    Hell... even just giving them hair period made a difference. I can see the s2 Disco Klingons fitting in just fine with TNG and even some TOS Klingons. And it adds a diversity as well. Much more dramatic than with human diversity, but still diversity.

    I wouldn't mind seeing some Mirror Klingons, Romulans, others....just a thought.

    Would be interesting for if the Mirror version of Worf (he was the Regent over I think that sector of space of Bajor/others on DS9? I can't remember if he died beyond being captured by the re-rising rebels of the Terran Empire) and Gowron show up as the Klingon Emperor still. And we don't even know about Mirror Martok, or even Mirror B'Vat, Torg, or J'Mpok. They could even go into whatever happened to their version of T'Kumva, and Ju’la (We do know what happened to Voq though...so...whatever) on how they crushed the Terran Empire before they rose back up.

    Well... its possible that we may see more than just Admiral Leeta when we go after her again.
