    Yeah I can’t remember if that ever directly came up but there’s definitely mentions of how non-warrior-caste Klingons are basically second class citizens

      At some point Picard visited Qo’noS, the homeworld (“Sins of the Father”), but I seem to recall it giving surprisingly little information about it, except seeing like an old woman in a cloak so a non-warrior peasant.

      Even here on earth there are similar effects - e.g. most Indians I have ever met speak somewhat more propa bri’ish English than I do here (am American), but this is like the 1% top elite that travel here, whereas if I were to travel there, the number of people who speak English passably may drop dramatically.

      Similarly, most of what we know of Klingon society, directly from the shows anyway, is heavily biased towards the nobility - e.g. “House of”.

        I really want a show about the lives of normal people on all the different planets in the trekverse now. Like a lower decks but for more than just Starfleet.
