Chang (Klingon) - Definition and Overview

Chang is a character from the fictional world of Star Trek.He is a member of the race (species) the Klingons.He appeared in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country". Chang held the rank of General with the Klingon Empire. He was the Chief of Staff for Chancellor Gorkon. He was assigned to the chancellors ship,Kronos One. The General was behind the assisination on Chancellor Gorkon through the use of his experimental Klingon Bird of Prey.The ship was modified so it could fire through its Cloaking device. He contacted James T. Kirk from Kronos One,and brought the ship about to attack the Starship Enterprise. Kirk ordered his crewmen to surrender,and he and his medical chief Leonard McCoy proceeded to transport over to Gorkon's ship. The torpedo fired from the Enterprise had destroyed the ship's artifical gravity system,and two people in starfleet anti-grav suits had beamed over & shot the ambassador along with many of his staff. McCoy failed to save the chancellor, and Chang framed & successfully arrested Kirk & McCoy under inter-stellar law.

Chang then proceeded to make a second assasination attempt, this time against the president of the United Federation of Planets while he was attending a conference between Romulans, Klingons & The Federation. The USS Enterprise & USS Excelsior arrived at the secret location, to find Chang aboard his prototype Bird of Prey. He devastated the Enterprise while taunting Kirk over the communication channel. After tracking the "gas from his tailpipe", a specially modified torpedo was fired at the Bird of Prey. His last words were quoted from Shakespeare, only seconds before the ship exploded--there were no survivors on the Bird of Prey.
