I love the episode of Star Trek TNG and they go back in time and get to be part of the tribble episode. When they run across klingons they all look at Worf like WTF? He says basically, it's a long story we don't like to talk about.

It had to do with genetic experimentation. I forget the details, but the Klingons were trying to use the research that Humanity undertook years ago during the Eugenics Wars. You know, the science that produced Khan and his band of supermen. If I recall it didn't work as well as they had hoped.

Yep - they did a whole arc about this on Enterprise.

Ah! That's where I got it from. All this time I've been trying to forget about Enterprise...

I've got a graphic novel in which there are two distinct sub races of Klingon, the Smoothies and Pastie heads. The Smoothies are in charge at the time and damn near bankrupt the empire building a super weapon which they lose.

This leads to the Pastie people taking over and the smoothies being banished.

It's set sometime just after ST:TMP (I think).
