If debris rains down from the moon, it's going to be an extinction level event.
How do/did you feel about the return of the Enterprise-D?

Trek has this weird thing where both Klingons and Romulans have huge empires that are largely devoid of other races while also apparently having 99% of their respective populations living on a single planet.
I recall reading that the reason Qo’nos was all nuclear wintry was due to Praxis exploding earlier in the KT (it’s shown cracked in half) and dumping a bunch of debris into the planet’s atmosphere.
We don't know in which direction the debris traveled relative to Kronos, nor at what speed. Could be that the debris went in a direction opposite of Kronos and since the explosion sent out a subspace shockwave that moved at incredible velocities, that debris was carried away.
Perhaps said shockwave battered Kronos, decimating its ozone and compromising some of the upper layers of its atmosphere.

It was a J. J. Abrams production, in which you can look up in the daytime sky and watch things happening in other solar systems in real time. "I can see Delta Vega from my house."
If the moon exploded opposite of Kronos, the surviving chunk of Praxis would likely be knocked out of stable orbit, falling toward Kronos, killing everything.
Unless the Klingons had some technology capable of temporarily stabilizing its orbit, but as Spock notes, their military-industrial complex limits the resources they had for a permanent solution.
I don't imagine anyone would have been capable of such a feat. At best, an alien race beyond the capabilities of the Federation and the Klingons might have stepped in to help. Maybe the Xindi?
Or the Organians.
The who?
The Organians. Responsible for the Organian Peace Treaty. They show up in "Errand of Mercy," in Season 1 of TOS.
I'm watching the show for the first time in years. I don't remember anything about that episode. Is it the first to introduce the Klingons? I'm 9 episodes in so far.
It's number 26. So, enjoy.
Is this the first to introduce the Klingons? Do the Organians ever pop up again, or are they one of those one-off aliens?
The Organian Peace Treaty is mentioned once or twice throughout TOS. The Organisns themselves make an appearance in a 4th season episode of Enterprise.
Thanks for this. I'm watching both S1 of TOS and S4 of Enterprise. Two episodes to pay attention to.
