| - In 2252, a ship crashed on Thasus, with a young boy, Charles Evans, the only survivor. The Thasians found Charlie and granted him their psychokinetic powers so that he could survive. In 2266, Charlie was rescued from Thasus and transferred aboard the Enterprise from the survey vessel Antares for transportation to Colony 5, where he could be reunited with his closest living relatives. The Thasians did not realize Charlie was gone until it was too late, however. Charlie's great psychokinetic powers, combined with his immaturity and petulance, made him a great threat to others he encountered. He took control of the Enterprise and even destroyed the Antares before the Thasians could intervene. Eventually, the Thasians did arrive, and were able to reverse all of the changes Charlie made aboard the Enterprise, but were unable to save the Antares. Taking on his form of centuries previous, before the Thasians had evolved beyond the need for physical bodies, a Thasian appeared on the Enterprise bridge as a translucent, floating humanoid head. He apologized to the crew of the Enterprise for the havoc Charlie had wrought on board, and for the destruction of the Antares, explaining that they had arrived to retrieve Charlie. When Captain Kirk asserted that Charlie should remain with his own kind, the Thasian countered by stating that Charlie was too much of a danger, and that he could never be taught to cease the use of his powers. Reluctantly agreeing, Captain Kirk allowed the Thasians to take Charlie back to Thasus, despite Charlie's protestations. (TOS: "Charlie X" )
- The Thasians are a psionically powerful, non-corporeal species, native to the planet Thasus. Until the 23rd century, the Federation had never encountered the Thasians and thus believed them to be a myth. However, a transport vessel crashlanded on Thasus in 2252 and only a small child, named Charles Evans, survived the crash. Instead of allowing the child to die, the Thasians granted Charlie with some of their psionic powers so that he could take care of his own needs on the barren planet. In 2266, Charlie was rescued by the crew of the Starfleet surveyor USS Antares, and from there taken to the USS Enterprise, where he would be transported to the Alpha V colony and live with surviving relatives. While aboard the Enterprise, Charlie began to use his powers to influence the crew and their actions. Before he could create even more chaos on Alpha V, the Thasians managed to intercept the Enterprise and undid all of the damage that Charlie had done. When Captain James T. Kirk asked if Charlie could ever live among Humans again, the Thasians declared that he would always be tempted to use his powers, and transported Charlie back to Thasus. (TOS episode: "Charlie X")
