   Obviously, the Federation was able to help the Klingons recover from the   
   Praxis disaster.

   The Klingons had to evacuate their homeworld after the Praxis explosion.

   The Klingons' heavy military spending left them with insufficient resources to   
   recover from Praxis.

   Maybe their own doctors had been killed by those assassins.  I think I heard a   
   Klingon say that they used to have a surgeon.

   I heard that Valiris had erased the Klingon language info from the computer.

   The Federation would have improved its sensors to be able to detect Chiang's   
   cloaking technology.

   At the beginning, the USS Excelsior (Captain Sulu commanding) has finished its   
   survey of gasous anomolies, and is heading home at full impulse.  Why isn't it   
   heading home at warp?   
      
   Then a subspace shockwave from the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis hits   
   the Excelsior, knocking it for a loop.  How far away was Excelsior from   
   Praxis?  (The Excelsior was outside the Klingon Neutral Zone, so should have   
   been many lightyears from    
   Praxis) I'm amazed that there was anything left of the Klingon homeworld from   
   an explosion powerful enough to knock a Federation starship for a loop from   
   many lightyears away.
