[Star Trek]one of the Klingons that testified against Kirk and McCoy didn't have an arm. Is that because they don't have the tech to give people cybernetic limbs, or is it that doing so would violate their honor code in someway?

I think a couple of things are at play here:

1. The Klingon witness was participating in a show trial designed to show Kirk and McCoy is as bad a light as possible. So this may be similar to wearing crutches or a neck brace to court in order to signal the severity of injuries to the judge and jury.

2. Klingons have an appreciation for battle wounds and recovered injuries and probably enjoy displaying them as a badge of honor. An example of this would be the missing eyes of Generals Chang and Martok.
