The Sarsith were an advanced, non-aligned amphibian species native to Sarsithia, a planet in the M-21 star cluster near the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone.
Biology[]
The olive-skinned Sarsith had two jointed arms connected at the shoulders plus two prehensile tentacled arms emerging from their backs. Two large eyes and a wide mouth with dozens of tiny, pointed teeth dominated their oval heads.
History[]
Sarsith were an aquatic non-humanoid species that evolved to walk on land. They retained an appreciation for water, with its Sarsith Ruling Council making all important decisions while basking in a pool.
In the early 19th century, Mirmonots invaded Sarsithia, igniting 450 years of rebellion and war until they were finally driven off in the early 2270s. Subsequently, Sarsith faced postwar economic collapse, famine, social unrest, and an emerging plague.
In 2274, the starship USS Enterprise visited Sarsithia to provide humanitarian aid and food to thousands of displaced soldiers and citizens. Leonard McCoy fashioned an antidote that counteracted a similar disease Mirmonot brought to Beta Quaternas IV. (TOS comic: "Quarantine")
