• Millions of Klingons are transformed into the type of Klingons seen in Star Trek: The Original Series, and it is stated that this condition will be passed onto their children, but may someday be reversible. The Klingons are restored to their original appearance some time between the end of The Original Series and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979). (Alternatively, the "TOS" Klingons may well last until just before the Khitomer Conference of 2293 as seen in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" (1991). It is in the parallel events of the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Flashback", that we see the (chronologically) first canon evidence of a "TOS" Klingon- Kang, specifically -having reverted to "standard" Klingon appearance.)

• In the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" it becomes clear that the reasons for the Klingons' altered appearance were never made public, and because the Klingons considered the transformation shameful they never discussed it with outsiders.
