Gorkon is a planet known to Troy.
When watching the 1955 theatrical film This Island Earth on 1980's 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
- Gorkon is the name of the Klingon Chancellor played by David Warner in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
- Presumably, since Troy was a young child during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and presumably never set foot off 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.
