Organian Council of Elders

The Organian Council of Elders is a council of elderly men on Organia and is composed of three representatives, one of those acts as the Chairman of the Council. In the 2260s, Ayelborne acted as the Chairman and Claymare and Trefayne were the other representatives.

In 2267, Captain James T. Kirk met with the Council of Elders to persuade them of the danger they are 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 to uncontrollable, the Council enacted the Organian Peace Treaty which forbade the two powers from fighting. .

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. .
