Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is the fifth Star Trek movie. It was made in 1989 and contains the most Klingon dialogue of any of the Star Trek movies.

Story

When a renegade Vulcan captures the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ambassadors on Nimbus III, the so-called "planet of galactic peace," it can only mean one thing: the vacation is over. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the new Starship Enterprise-A are pressed back into service to come to the rescue. But, when the Vulcan has a prior association with Spock, it allows him to seize control of the Enterprise and put it on course for the center of the galaxy where he and his followers believe they find the place from which creation sprung.

Notes

The following sentence was accidentally used twice, so Okrand had to backfit the translation, ceating a few new words to make the sentence match the meaning. These words were added to the addendum of TKD.

vaj	toDDuj	-Daj	ngeHbej	DI	-vI'
so	rescue ship	their	they certainly send it	federation
"That means the Federation will be sending a rescue ship of its own."
vaj	toDuj	Daj	ngeHbej	DI	vI'
warrior	courage	not prove	cosmos	garbage	shooting
"Shooting space garbage is no test for a warrior's mettle."

• In the report about the incoming message, the conjunction je is misplaced. The complete incoming message can be seen in ST5 Notes.
• Adding the interrogative suffix -'a' to a noun is definitely breaking the rules.
