Gorkon is a planet known to Troy.
When watching the 1955 CE theatrical film This Island Earth on 30 October 1980 in a California theater on Earth with fellow Warrior Dillon and the Super Scouts, Troy recalls that he "hasn't seen anything like [the mutant alien on the screen] since the planet Gorkon." This view is echoed by Wellington, who mentions that the bug-eyed alien in the Earth movie looks like the Gorkons (TOS: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
Notes
edit- Gorkon is the name of the Klingon Chancellor played by David Warner in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
- As Troy was a young child during the Fall of and Exodus from the Twelve Colonies and more likely than not set foot away from the Colonies before then, it can be assumed that Gorkon was a planet visited by the Galactican Fleet en route to Earth. This is fully supported by Wellington's quip while watching the movie.
