| - In 2267, Captain James T. Kirk met with the Council of Elders to persuade them of the danger they were in from the Klingon Empire. Although the Council reassured him that they were in no danger, Kirk didn't have time to return to the USS Enterprise as a large Klingon invasion fleet led by Kor arrived.
- In 2267, the Council was presided over by Ayelborne. In addition to Ayelborne, the Council consisted of Trefayne, Claymare and several others. The Council presented a baffling facade to Kirk; at first helping him, and later betraying him, and still later, helping him again. It likewise confused Klingon Governor Kor, who found the constant gentle smiles of its members irritating. The difficulty, as Kirk eventually learned, was that their objective was to prevent all violence on their world, even if this meant temporary inconvenience to one of their visitors. And they were, with good reason, supremely confident in their ability to achieve that goal.

The Council presented a baffling facade to Kirk; at first helping him, and later betraying him, and still later, helping him again. It likewise confused Klingon Governor Kor, who found the constant gentle smiles of its members irritating. The difficulty, as Kirk eventually learned, was that their objective was to prevent all violence on their world, even if this meant temporary inconvenience to one of their visitors. And they were, with good reason, supremely confident in their ability to achieve that goal. When the Organians elected to intervene in the war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, the council spearheaded this effort. They prevented all of the visitors to their world from engaging in hostilities, and they similarly disabled the fleets about to battle near their world. As they imposed what came to be called the Organian Peace Treaty, Ayelborne appeared before Kirk, before the Federation government on Earth, and before the Klingon High Council on Qo'noS.

- In 2267, Captain James T. Kirk met with the Council of Elders to persuade them of the danger they were in from the Klingon Empire. Although the Council reassured him that they were in no danger, Kirk didn't have time to return to the USS Enterprise as a large Klingon invasion fleet led by Kor arrived. Wishing to avoid any unneccessary bloodshed, the Council submitted to the Klingons rule, and while at first protecting Kirk's identity, they later revealed his presence to avoid terrorist activities performed by Kirk and Spock. When the two powers became uncontrollable, the Council revealed their true nature as non-corporeal lifeforms and enacted the Organian Peace Treaty, which forbade the two powers from fighting. (TOS episode: "Errand of Mercy") In 2269, Captain Kirk once again appealed to the Council when the Klingons launched an unprovoked attack against the Federation. The Council couldn't immediately act because the Klingons had erected a "thought-shield" around Organia. Thankfully, the shield was disabled by the Enterprise and the Council subsequently stopped the war and forbade the Klingons the use of warp drive for the next 1,000 years.
