Gort was a 24th century Klingon boy, a childhood friend of Martok. He liked to focus sunlight through a quartz crystal to burn tak insects. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: The Left Hand of Destiny, Book Two)

BackgroundEdit

Gort is likely based on the android Gort, from the science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still". That character, originally named Gnut in the short story upon which the film was based, had a laser in the place of his eyes, and would use it to destroy humans if needed to protect his master, Klaatu.
