In the two-part episode " The Menagerie ", a reworking of the original, unaired Pilot " The Cage ", we learn of an earlier visit of the ''Enterprise'' to the planet, during which the Talosians capture Captain Christopher Pike for display in their menagerie and assistance in their breeding program. The Talosians' telepathic abilities are such that they can cause those subject to them to perceive of things, persons, and phenomena which do not actually exist or are unlike or even opposite of their appearance to the observer. Due to the potentially-disatrous nature posed by this threat, General Order #7 made any attempt to visit Talos IV by Starfleet personnel for any reason a Capital Offense , the only such offense remaining under the laws of the United Federation Of Planets . The Talosians' storyline is continued in the Telepathy War story arc in Marvel Comics' Star Trek comic book run in the late 1990s. The story involves a virus created by the dominion which infects all telepathic species. The Talosians became infected as well, before the crews of the Enterprise-E, Deep Space Nine, and the Starfleet Academy Cadets (The cast members of three of Marvel's Star Trek comic series at the time) found a cure. The story culminates in the Talosians taking a large group of Jem'Hadar to be slaves. It is implied that the entire conflict was engineered by the Talosians to this end; they still needed a race to do work for them, as they did in 'The Cage'. This story arc, as with all Star Trek comics, is not considered canon. |
