The Argontrons are an alien civilization native to the planetoid 897-JOJ, a homeworld located somewhere in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants. Argontrons were nyctophobic, red-skinned humanoids.
History[]
In the 2270s, the USS Enterprise visited 897-JOJ. Leonard McCoy was abducted from the starship's bridge with a transporter — the Argontrons claimed to need a doctor for their experiments. Spurred by Argontron fears of losing light, Captain James T. Kirk used the Enterprise to trigger an eclipse, then retrieved McCoy in a class F shuttlecraft. (TOS - Star Trek Video Communicator comic: "Starlight, Starfright")
