* YouAreInCommandNow: Part of K'Mak's backstory. He was a junior officer who wound up in command after his ship took a direct hit to the bridge, killing the captain and first officer and preventing the second officer (who had been in Engineering at the time) from reaching the bridge due to debris. By the time they had managed to cut through the debris to restore access, K'Mak had already crippled the Tholian ship which had engaged them, whereupon he dutifully turned over command without even attempting a KlingonPromotion.

After the battle the second officer recommended that K'mak be awarded the Token of the Mek'leth, one of the highest awards given to a junior grade officer. It was this recommendation that brought the young warrior to the attention of General Chang's Academy Recruiters.

* MilitaryAcademy: Half the game takes place at a n academy for prospective commanding officers that Chang founded. Success means instant promotion to Captain and one's own command. Failure means return to one's original posting, without any black marks on one's future prospects (one can always work up the ranks the hard way).

* InsaneTrollLogic: Chang mocks the Klingon Empire's FantasticRacism (while engaging in a good deal of it himself) by stating that Captain Kirk is actually a Klingon. Becauee he's defeated the Klingons before, he can't possibly be "merely" human. He then gives a JustJoking defense and says humans used to be warriors but we fell from the path.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The game expands on Chang's depiction in ''The Undiscovered Country'' and gives a better, more detailed look at his motives; basically, he's an honorable conservative who genuinely fears Gorkon's moderate policies will lead their race to their doom.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Torlek, who becomes Chang's protegee, yet is never seen or mentioned in ''Star Trek VI''. So, the dramatic tension there lies in whether he survives the events of the game or not. [[spoiler: He does, but Chang pulles the aforementioned ReassignedToAntarctica ostensibly to punish his pupil, but more likely to prvent Torlek from getting caught up in what will become the Khitomer Conspiracy.]]

General Chang explicitly said "Ambassador M'Giia" in a mission to capture the dignitary in Andorian space.

Added DiffLines:

** In ''Starfleet Academy'', Vanda M'Giia is the daughter of a prominent Andorian ambassador. Said ambassador is listed as a target for capture in one of Chang's missions involving an incursion into Andorian space.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In the prologue cutscene, Chang uses the Klingon rite of Blood Peace to bring a quick end to Kalnor's attempted coup, as fully defeating the House of G'Iogh would be far more costly to the Empire from a military standpoint. Not only does Chang end up losing an eye in the ensuing duel, but the failure to properly put down the House of G'Iogh ends up leading to Melkor's own coup attempt, which proves ''far'' more devastating to the Empire in the longer run.

Added DiffLines:

* PropagandaPiece: The manual (written in-universe as if for a Klingon cadet) spares no effort to paint the Federation in a bad light. The Starfleet Prime Directive is called fraudulent and hypocritical. Also, instead of stating what actually happened during the events of ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'', they accuse Admiral Kirk of killing Kruge's crew and stealing the Bird Of Prey so that the Federation can study the cloaking device.

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Gorkon may be one of the more diplomatic and reasonably-minded members of the Klingon leadership from this era, but even he doesn't hesitate to order Melkor's entire family executed for the damage his attempted coup inflicted on the Empire. Note that even Gorkon's more militaristic predecessor didn't go this far after Melkor's elder brother attempted his own coup the previous year.


Added DiffLines:

* EyeScream: Despite winning his duel with Kalnor and thus ending his attempted coup during the opening cutscene, Chang loses his left eye in the process.


Added DiffLines:

* PredecessorVillain: Melkor's older brother, Kalnor. His own coup attempt ends during the game's opening cutscene, with Chang beaming on-board his flagship and defeating him in one-on-one combat.

* HonorBeforeReason: Par for the course with the Klingons, but it gets taken to extremes when K'Mak sets off the supernova weapon in the Tal'Ihnor Gates system purely because his honor and duty to Melkor demand it.
** But averted in some manners. Chang's curriculum clearly emphasizes that a warrior's pride should not be synonymous for foolhardiness - there is no shame in calling for help when facing a fight you can't win alone, and a warrior should be willing to come to the aid of a brother in arms who needs assistance.

* YouAreInCommandNow: Part of K'Mak's backstory. He was a junior officer who wound up in command after his ship took a direct hit to the bridge, killing all other officers present. He successfully fought the ship to a successful conclusion to the battle, and then surprised the Executive Officer when he got back from Engineering by turning over command without even attempting a KlingonPromotion.
