Zar-Tan



Zar-Tan was an artificialy-created being -- technically a cyborg -- that began attacking the Terralyn colony on Terrellian II on just before Stardate 2314.6. He piloted an omni-orbital class "C" star cruiser an wore armor that resisted sensor scans. Zar-Tan stated the planet belonged to him, and was compeled to destroy those he considered "trespassers." Spock, with the help of the projection called "The Ghost," restored Zar-Tan's damaged memories of his true mission. He had been created by the Thelemites as a storage vessel for their genetic patterns. With the truth revealed, Zar-Tan was deactivated, and the organic patterns he contained were used to restore the Thelemite people. (Gold Key Star Trek #60 The Empire Man)
