We provably aren't seeing that, as there are characters (Kor, L'rell) who have appeared in more than one variant of the Klingon makeup. The implication is obviously that these are different interpretations of a single species' appearance.
@LibraryLass ok, good point. I’d still like to see multiple races/species in the Klingon Empire.
The Romulan Empire at least had Remans
@FreezePeach @LibraryLass Klingon empire has other races until they flee. In ENT episode 2x19 Judgement Archer got into prison for helping them flee
I understood Klingons to be more of scorched earth imperialists
Yeah. I would also guess most of the Rura Penthe prisoners in The Undiscovered Country are from Klingon subject races.
I certainly would as well. (Actually I'm glad you mention Romulans as they provide another data point regarding this matter. The same individuals-- the Bird of Prey Commander and Sub-Commander-- at the same time-- the shared events of "Balance of Terror" and "A Quality of Mercy"-- show different variations of the Romulan makeup.)
