It's my understanding that one of the duties of the First Officer on a
Klingon ship is to assassinate the Captain.
"Yes, sir. When and if the Captain becomes weak and unable to perform,
it is expected that his honorable retirement should be assisted by his
First. The Second Officer would assassinate you for the same reasons."
This method of attrition could take a little getting used to.
