Star Trek: Discovery - 12 Easter Eggs You Need To See

12. Classic Klingon Weaponry

As far as Star Trek weaponry goes, they don't come anymore iconic than the revered Klingon Bat'leth, sported in Discovery by T'Kuvma the Unforgettable.

On top of the Bat'leth, T'Kuvma and his fellow warriors also used other bladed instruments, with a D'k tahg looking... thing being the weapon that fatally wounds Captain Georgiou in the second episode's closing moments.

There's every chance that Discovery might've referenced one of Worf's ceremonial weapons too, with two of the Klingons using knives that looked not all that dissimilar to the ones Picard's chief of security had mounted in his room during that series (they also appear in the opening credits).

One would surmise that other Klingon iconography, like the Gin'tak, Kut'luch and Mek'leth will appear at some point, but it's nice to see the Bat'leth in there regardless.
