“On stardate 3045.6, the starship USS Enterprise, commanded by Captain James T. Kirk, arrives at the Cestus III Outpost, where Kirk is invited to a dinner engagement with Commodore Travers, a man renowned for his hospitality and friendship. Upon beaming down to the planet, the landing party, consisting of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, McCoy and three crewmembers (Kelowitz, Lang, and O’Herihly), find the outpost nearly obliterated. A lone survivor is located, and he tells them the outpost came under heavy attack, bombarded by an unknown enemy. Suddenly, the landing team itself comes under fire, and Lang and O’Herihly are killed.”
– from the Wikipedia entry

The Gorn are a pretty damn brutal race, though it helps if you ignore the CGI lizard version from the “mirror universe” episodes of “Enterprise.”

William Shatner suffers from tinnitus as a result of one of the explosions in the opening of this episode.
