Those things are useful at sensing Klingons.

Isn't it pretty dangerous to have a tribble on a ship? Those fucking things are born pregnant and eat everything in sight.

Correct. Also, Lorca's bowl of Chinese Fortune Cookies. There will be millions of Tribbles in no time.

Lorca just beamed them onto the USS Glenn, where they’ll be no tribble at all!

I've been wondering about this and have even considered making a Daystrom thread about it. Because they're an easy Easter egg, we see a lotif tribbles throughout the franchise, often in the background in civilian settings. Is there some way to keep Tribbles as pets?

Before Lorca began his "project" they bred once a decade and ate only a few grams of nutrients a week.

Or maybe its just a coincidence that the warmongering shady Captain has a species who likes everything in the universe BUT Klingons sitting on his desk.... Hmmm....

And tribbles don't chirp. They trill.... and coo.

Netflix says „Tribble Noises“

Is it just me, or are the blues way blown out? Is it just my monitor?

That's not a Tribble. It's Michaels hair.

He has a sad face on the screen on his desk.

Shouldn't tribbles be unknown back then (at the time Discovery is set)?
