Sargon crew — The crew of the *Enterprise* meet Sargon

Sargon was a noncorporeal being; among the last of a race of highly advanced humanoids who had evolved to a point where there mental powers had become almost god-like. Because of a cataclysmic war amongst his race where their powers were utilized to their fullest, Sargon, and a few chosen survivors, transferred their consciousness into a spherical storage device. Apparently, they were not true non-corporeal beings in that they required a receptacle to 'house' their consciousness. Sargon, and the survivors, took refuge in an impenetrable vault deep underground because the war had destroyed the planet's atmosphere.

By 2268, Sargon, his wife Thalassa, and a representative of the opposing faction Henoch from the war were the only survivors. The other survivors had long since fled their receptacles. That year, Sargon used his powers to summoned the USS Enterprise to the planet. It was his hope that, one day, decendants of the colonies that they had scattereed throughout the galaxy would one day venture into space. Sargon's request was that three crewmembers would temporarily relinquish their bodies to them so that they may construct android bodies as replacements. The one drawback was that the presence of such powerful consciousnesses in human bodies accelerated the metabolism to dangerously high levels. By mutual agreement of the Enterprise command crew, Sargon occupied the body of Captain James T. Kirk, while Thalassa occupied Ann Mulhall and Henoch took over Spock. While the bodies were occupied, the consciousnesses of the Enterprise crew were transferred to the aforementioned receptacles.

Unfortunately, Henoch attempted to kill Sargon and keep his new body. Sargon deceived Henoch by fleeing Kirk's body and inhabiting the Enterprise. After Henoch is defeated and killed, Sargon and Thalassa realize that they do not have the control and discipline to use their mental powers in the physical realm and leave the Enterprise to roam other dimensions of existence, which they labeled as 'oblivion'. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")

-'''Sargon''' was among the last of a race of highly advanced [[noncorporeal beings]] who survived his [[planet]]'s destruction by placing his consciousness within a [[receptacle|spherical storage device]]. Sargon once had a body of his own, but was forced to give it up to survive the cataclysmic war which evaporated his planet's [[atmosphere]].
