Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. Yet another of the many new races added to the Star Trek universe by the coming of The Next Generation .

This is something which could be saved for a 3-hour philosophy discussion, yet I must take my hat off to the writers for what they did with the scene. Not only did they give us an insight into our history and how it could be viewed from a non-human perspective. But also an insight into our possible future, a post-atomic horror style world in which justice is irrelevant and where the military is controlled by drugs. It presents a bleak and distopic future. Their entrance paves the way for many other appearances by this unusual race, not only on The Next Generation screens, but also on DS9 and on Voyager.
