    What is KAG?

  • 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, with ships and members from all parts of the globe.


    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.
    We win costume contests at conventions and march in parades.
    We host events like excellent parties, weekend getaways, and conventions.
    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...

    o Perhaps people have come to realize that being human is boring.
    o Perhaps they wish to join the original "party-animal" species.
    o Perhaps they appreciate the pride and craftsmanship that goes into an armored Klingon Uniform.
    o 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 built from members working together to form individual warships(shipboard-type local groups). All it takes to get a scoutship up and running are a few 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, Raiders, 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 and send it in. If not, step aside, meek one.


    What's in a uniform?

    A Klingon, of course! (We do not provide the Klingon, that is YOUR Duty.)

    It is up to the members to create or purchase their own Uniforms. However, your ship's QuarterMaster can assist you in that pursuit. QuarterMasters are equipped with the knowledge of how Uniforms are constructed, and where the materials can be obtained. They often can sell Uniforms to ship members at a substantial discount.

    Classic Klingon

    Klingons from The Original STAR TREK Series are considered Classic Klingons. Classic Klingons require the least effort to uniform... usually a simple black outfit with a gold vest and/or sash. Little or no makeup is required.

    Contemporary Klingon

    Contemporary Klingons as seen in the feature films, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, or DEEP SPACE NINE are the most intimidating in appearance. Your ship's Genetics Engineer can assist you in creating or purchasing facial appliances for the ridges. (They are often attached by spirit gum or latex, or as an easy-to-slip-on half-head.) The Armor is often made of rugged vinyl. Conquering many a glorious costume contest, these Uniforms instill fear and awe into the hearts of those who gaze upon them!


    In Brief:

    Here are some nit-picking details to summarize what membership is all about...

    Place of Meetings: We party where we choose.
    Time of Meetings: We party when we choose.
    Cost of Membership: *Nothing*. (Do we look like Ferengi Capitalists to you?)
    Length of Membership: However long you live Honorably.
