Unnamed[]
Crewmembers []
These Klingon crewmembers served aboard Kruge's Bird-of-Prey until their deaths in 2285.
They operated several consoles on the bridge and were later part of the boarding party which beamed aboard the Enterprise to take over the command. Noting the auto-destruct sequence too late they died during the ship's explosion. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
These crewmembers, who were all identified on the call sheet as "ND Klingons", were played by stunt performers.
Gunner #1 []
A Klingon gunner
This Klingon served as gunner under Kruge in 2285. He also had less prestigious duties, such as feeding Kruge's pet.
When the Bird-of-Prey reached the Genesis Planet, the gunner was ordered by Kruge to disable the USS Grissom so that Kruge could capture the crew and learn the secrets of the planet.
When the gunner scored what he called "a lucky shot" and destroyed the Grissom, Kruge pulled out his disruptor and vaporized the gunner because he had wanted prisoners. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
The first Klingon gunner was played by actor Bob Cummings.
Gunner #2 []
A Klingon gunner
After the untimely death of the first gunner, this officer was promoted to the position.
When engaging the USS Enterprise, he was notably more careful to follow Kruge's instructions to disable and not destroy the vessel.
The gunner was later part of a boarding party sent to secure the Enterprise and was killed when the ship's commander, Admiral James T. Kirk, activated the ship's self-destruct sequence. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
The second Klingon gunner was played by stunt actor Branscombe Richmond.
Helmsman []
A Klingon helmsman
This Klingon served as helmsman aboard Kruge's Bird-of-Prey.
He was later part of the boarding party that beamed aboard the Enterprise to take over the command. Noting the auto-destruct sequence too late, he died during the ship's explosion. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
The helmsman was played by Chuck Picerni, Jr..
Sergeant []
Klingon sergeant
This Klingon sergeant accompanied Kruge down to the Genesis Planet, where they took the surviving members of the research team prisoner along with the newly regenerated Spock. When Kruge ordered the sergeant to kill one of the prisoners, the sergeant picked Saavik, though when David Marcus attacked him, he killed Marcus instead by stabbing him in his chest. The sergeant was later shot by James T. Kirk with a phaser. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
The Klingon sergeant was played by stunt actor Dave Cadiente. The comic adaptation of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock gives this character's name as Knorr.
Soldier []
A Klingon soldier
This Klingon soldier was part of Kruge's away team to the surface of the Genesis Planet. He was present when the Klingon sergeant killed David Marcus and was killed himself when the planet destroyed itself. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Regnor.
