10 "No Body, No Death" Cases In Star Trek

Kor was a Dahar Master! You can't believe something as small as ten Jem'hadar ships would take the old man out, can you?

Well, we admit, this is the least likely survivor on this list. Kor made several appearances in Deep Space Nine, with his final outing seemingly being his terminal one. Once More Unto The Breach shows him struggling to handle his years, with his memory failing, quickly facing a difficult future that all warriors are known to dread.

He does however lead the mission to delay the Jem'hadar long enough for the rest of his task force to get back to Federation territory. With one Bird-Of-Prey, he holds off ten vessels, securing his place in the Hall of Warriors. 

So, why is he here? Well, it is entirely possible he managed to outmaneuver the Jem'hadar, even if it cost the crew. Supposing he was the only survivor, now with a ship in his possession, though still suffering that failing memory - what then might he do? Where might he go? 

There is every chance that somewhere out there, there is a grizzled old Klingon still knocking about, reliving the glory days, intent on securing that final Targ hunt - and who are we to stop him?
