STAR TREK COMIC IN KLINGON

It's a first! IDW Publishing is putting out an edition of its upcoming
Star Trek comic in Klingon. STAR TREK: KLINGONS: BLOOD WILL TELL is a
new, five-part miniseries that will be available in a special 40-page
Klingon-language edition, accompanied by the original script in
English to aid translation, the publisher said. The comic, which
debuts in April, will also be available in a 32-page English-language
edition. Star Trek: Klingons: Blood Will Tell is set in the universe
of the original Trek series and comes from writer Scott Tipton (aided
by his brother, David Tipton) and artist David Messina. The series
takes incidents from familiar episodes of the original series and
retells them from the Klingon point of view. The first issue centers
on an unsteady peace that breaks into full-scale war after a Klingon
cruiser is destroyed by the Federation starship Enterprise. Issue two
will examine the result of Montgomery Scott's beaming of thousands of
tribbles onto a Klingon cruiser. Artist Joe Corroney will join Messina
in providing variant covers for the series.

Doesn't that break rule against two colons in one sentence?

Klingons do not need puny Earth grammar!

Alright, I'm there! In an episode (I can't recall which one) I thought that it was said that the tribbles started a famine due to the high consumption of food, and that the Klingons started to hunt them.

Wasn't that from the Animated series? And Harry Mudd had a Tribble Eatin' creature?

When I began thinking on this, the more I could of swore that Worf was talking about the tribbles. So I went to Wikipedia, I looked up Tribble and found this:
In Deep Space Nine episode Trials and Tribble-ations the crew of the USS Defiant encounter the tribbles once more. Worf reveals that the creatures were actually hunted down and exterminated by his people; specially-trained warriors were sent to kill every tribble in existence, and an armada of Klingon vessels obliterated the tribble homeworld. Klingons are unique among Star Trek's races in their extreme hatred of these cute little creatures (the feeling was apparently mutual). This is because they were "ecological disasters", and emitted a loud shrieking noise instead of their normal soothing purr in the presence of Klingons (this may be due to the tribbles reacting to the Klingons' reptilian ancestry, similar to the tribbles' natural enemy).

Anglicized tlhIngan Hol or the actual pIqaD?

The KLI could stand to give them an expanded punctuation arsenal to work with, though!
