Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the USS Excelsior detects an approaching shockwave. One of the bridge officers is standing next to Sulu, delivering a report. When the camera angle changes, the same officer is seated at a console behind two standing crewmen. When the camera cuts again, he's between Sulu and that console, then sits to operate it.

The killers were two crewmembers from the Enterprise. They tried to frame Kirk for the Chancellor's death to stop the Federation and the Klingons from making peace. The ship that fired on the Chancellor's ship was actually underneath the Enterprise and was a cloaked Klingon ship. Valaris, Chang, Colonel West, Cartwright and the Romulan Ambassador were all in on it. At the end of the movie, the Entrprise is retired and the cast literally sign off.

More trivia for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Question: Is it my imagination, or does the opening theme sound similar to the classical piece "The Planets - Mars" by Holst?
Answer: At one point Nicholas Meyer did indeed have the idea to incorporate "The Planets" into the score, but apparently the rights proved too expensive. I have no doubt Meyer asked composer Cliff Eidelmann to give the score a similar sound.
Chosen answer: There are certain similarities, yes. Whether any specific aspects of the piece were deliberately incorporated into the film's opening theme is an open question, but the overall feel is undoubtedly very similar.
