Changes: Forcas III

Revision as of 13:16, 16 July 2014

AT: "xx" Forcas III was the inhabited third planet in the Forcas system. This was a Klingon system.

Worf entered a bat'leth competition here in 2370, and won Champion Standing.

In another quantum reality, Worf only achieved Ninth Place. In another, he could not attend the competition and his younger brother Kurn went in his place. (TNG: "Parallels")

Forcas III was the origin of a drink that Guinan served in Ten Forward on the USS Enterprise-D. When Data tried this drink, during one of his first experiences with his emotion chip, he described the Forcas III drink as "revolting" (and immediately agrees to an offer for more) (Star Trek Generations)

Background

"FOUR-cuss" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide for "Parallels". [1]

Although it hosts a bat'leth tournament and might therefore be part of the Klingon Empire, the location and affiliation of Forcas III has never been stated on screen.

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 64), the Forcas system was located in or near to Klingon space, in the Beta Quadrant. Primary was an Class K star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol.

Apocrypha

Forcas III is mentioned as one of the Albino's past whereabouts in the novel Excelsior: Forged in Fire. Taking place in 2409, the computer game Star Trek Online requires the player to participate at a bat'leth tournament on Forcas III for the House of Martok.
