<div class="">Okay, first, I have issues with this transliteration
of “thalaron”, since Klingon lacks the consonant cluster “th”.</div>

<p>Who says they were transliterating? They just used a foreign
word. It gives the sentences a certain <i>je ne sais quoi.</i><br>

since you must be speaking from the future Trek Universe where
thalaron and Remans exist In THAT Universe, your message might be
read by a Reman, for whom the weapon isn’t alien. If the listener
isn’t Reman and hears you say it’s a Reman weapon, of course, it’s
an alien weapon, right? Why state the obvious? Why be so
redundant?</blockquote>
<p>"It's an alien weapon, used especially by the Remans" isn't
redundant. The first part tells you that its origin isn't us, and
the second part tells you who uses it most.<br>
