Talosian
Talosians are the humanoid inhabitants of the planet Talos IV. They have
developed an extremely powerful telepathic ability, enabling them to affect
minds over great spatial distances. The Talosians were first encountered by
a crashed earth expedition, the S.S.Columbia.
Years later the Talosians lured the U.S.S.Enterprise, under the command of
Captain Pike, to Talos IV in order to gain human specimens. The purpose of
this ruse was the study and possible breeding of stock to serve as
restoration labor for the Talosians lost society.
