[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Sort of like it is in our universe. Klingons base their honor on what other people think of them. The truly honorable Klingons or Romulans or whatever, in the Star Trek stories, or those who base their decisions on Human morality. Worf for instance does what's right in spite of the fact that it will cost him his honor, or standing in Klingon society. Attacking someone might be considered honorable because it looks good to other Klingons, in spite of the fact that to Humans it's considered cowardly. Being captured and slaughtering all your captors... likewise honorable to Klingons. Being captured and spending the rest of your days rotting in fetters... not so honorable. Remember, Martok had the opportunity to kill Jem'Hadar and still entertained the possibility of escape. And like pretty much every other moral issue, yes we're going to find differences in interpretation. Any Klingon who says, "It's dishonorable to so-and-so" is just as likely to be speaking about his own beliefs as he is about any kind of moral policy of the Empire. [/QB][/QUOTE]
