Talos System

The Talos System is a stellar system featured in the Star Trek film and television franchise. It first appeared in the original unaired pilot episode of the first Star Trek television series, "The Cage". It also appeared in the two-part season one episode "The Menagerie" as well as several novels, adaptations and comic books.

Description
The Talos System is but one of several star systems that comprise the Talos Star Group. There are eleven known planets in the system, only one of which is capable of supporting life, Talos IV.

In the year 2236, a civilian Earth-based science vessel known as the SS Columbia was journeying through the Talos System surveying the area when they crash-landed on Talos IV. All of the crew members were killed in the crash save one, a young woman named Vina. The native inhabitants of the planet, the Talosians took Vina under their care and attempted to rehabilitate her.

Eighteen years later in the year 2254, the starship USS Enterprise was on its way towards the [[Vega Colony when it picked up a radio signal originating from within the Talos Star Group. Lured by the telepathic manipulations of the Talosians, the Enterprise diverted their course to the Talos System to investigate the signal.
