Klingon commandant 

This commandant was a Klingon of short stature, who was in charge of the penal colony on Rura Penthe in 2293. 
He welcomed the new prisoners to the colony, including Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy, and demonstrated to them the consequences of failing to comply with the rules – death. 

It was later revealed to Kirk and McCoy that the commandant was part of the Khitomer conspiracy and was ordered by General  to allow them to make an escape attempt so they would appear to have been killed while trying to escape. The commandant captured them escaping as planned, and was about to tell them who wanted them killed before executing them, when they were beamed aboard the . 

He later contacted Chang, notifying him of their escape, forcing Chang to proceed to Khitomer to intercept any unwelcome guests.

Behemoth alien 

This humanoid was noticeably taller and stronger than most. He was incarcerated at Rura Penthe in 2293, and was an acquaintance of Martia. When Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy first arrived at the prison, the behemoth alien seized Kirk, picking him up above head-level and demanding both his "allegiance to the Brotherhood of Aliens" and his coat. Kirk was unable to understand him as his universal translator had been confiscated. The behemoth later backed off at Martia's insistence and Kirk was allowed to keep his outerwear. ()

Horned alien 

This humanoid with blue, scaly skin and horns of varying size protruding from his head was imprisoned by the Klingons at Rura Penthe.

In 2293, he started a fight with Captain Kirk, who was able to incapacitate the alien with a kick to both knees; Martia pointed out "not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place." As a gesture of truce, Kirk told Dr. McCoy to help the creature recover so there would not be any lingering hard feelings. ()

Background information

Klingon guards  
In deleted scenes from , the Klingons captured the Narada after the  crashed into it, and imprisoned Nero for the next twenty-five years. These Klingon guards wore helmets and thick coats, which costume designer Michael Kaplan respectively modeled on a horseshoe crab and elephant and rhino skin. (Star Trek - The Art of the Film, p. 42)

J.J. Abrams said the masks allowed them to avoid selecting Klingons that did or did not have the augment virus. According to him and the producers on the audio commentary for the deleted scenes, the Klingons come up to Nero in large numbers and throw him a chain to cuff himself because they're actually scared of him.

Around twenty Klingons were guarding the area the slaves were working. Most of them were armed with rifles and pistols and all of them were wearing helmets and coats. A group of six interrogated FourSquare and then thew some handcuffs to Nero to bring him to his interrogation. Two Klingon guards then escorted Nero through the tunnels of the plant and three were present when the interrogator questioned Nero. Nero later overwhelmed two Klingon guards when they brought him back into his cell. The Klingons in the deleted scenes were played by background performers including Terryl Daluz, Brandon Stacy, Scott Trimble, James D. Weston II, Cole Fritch, and Henry Jenkins and stunt actors T.J. Storm and Troy Brenna. For the wide shot in which the production used child actors, John Alan Bartlebaugh portrayed one of the Klingon guards.

Klingon interrogator  

The Klingon interrogator led the interrogation of Nero after he was brought in by the guards. He presented Nero his writings and drawings and told him he believes Nero is from the future. He also used a Centaurian slug on him. The interrogator was played by actor Victor Garber.

Prisoners 
The deleted scene also included many extras, including creatures that were homages to the Gorn and the M-113 creature. Among the prisoners were background performers Adam Absinthe, Mark Casimir Dyniewicz, Michael Lovern, Sarah Abrams Char, and Michael John Feig. Tad Atkinson portrayed an Amphibian prisoner while Paul A. Brown portrayed the "O Alien".   There were also at least three more Romulan prisoners.

FourSquare 

In a deleted scene, an alien named "4-Square" – who was named because he had four eyes – had kept papers of Nero's plans in his cell and was interrogated by the Klingon guards after they found them in his cell. This alien was played by actor Tommy Germanovich and his make-up was created by Barney Burman and his company Proteus Make-up FX Team. It was given the name  in the Nero, Number Two comic book.
