Dueling was a method of settling disagreements, and was usually a fight to the death with swords or pistols. Dueling was popular on Earth[1] from the Renaissance until the early 19th century, when it was outlawed.[2] Trelane, who had become obsessed with 19th century Earth, engaged in a duel with Captain Kirk, using a matched set of pistols that he claimed were identical to those that killed Alexander Hamilton[1] in his duel with Aaron Burr.[2] When Captain Ron Tracey's violation of the Prime Directive was exposed to the Yangs of Omega III, he and Kirk fought a duel according to Yang culture, with the Yangs assuming that Tracey was evil and deserved to lose upon his defeat.[3]
Dueling also remained a part of Vulcan culture. In the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ritual, a Vulcan man could fight a duel to the death with the champion of his intended bride, should she choose not to follow through with the marriage, which had been arranged when the pair were children.[4]
