We know this is a gaming computer of some sort as it’s in the Enterprise’s recreational areas when we see it in Federation hands. It’s got a different display when we see it on Eminiar VII and the hands of the Klingons but it’s still the same computer.

Something that just occurred to me, why isn’t the interplanetary war which has been going on for 500 years between Eminiar VII and Vendikar referred to as a war between Eminiar VII and Eminiar III? Why does Vendikar get to refer to themselves by their chosen name (which probably means “dirt” in their native language). It would be like referring to a war between Earth and Mars as being between Sol IV and Earth. Why doesn’t the Federation call it the war between Eminiar VII and Eminiar III?
