Kanff

Kanff was a 23rd century Klingon, a member of the Klingon Defense Force who served as an engineer aboard the under Commander Kor, son of Rynar.

History
In 2269, the Klothos and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) traveled through the Delta Triangle and became trapped in the realm of Elysia. After Kor agreed to work together with Captain James T. Kirk to effect a joint escape, First Officer ordered Kanff to develop a small bomb which could be use to sabotage the Federation starship. Within a day, Kanff and the engineering staff built a tiny capsule-sized device with a crystal sensor that would shatter when the Enterprise reached warp eight, triggering a three-minute timer. Kanff also calculated how close to engineering the device would have to be placed in order for a cascading reaction to reach the dilithium crystals and blow up the ship. Kor admired the handiwork, saying openly that Kanff and the team deserved a commendation.
