The '''Thasians''' are a race of non-corporeal, psionically powerful beings believed to be native to the planet Thasus. The United Federation of Planets had encountered them only once, in 2266.
==Name==
* '''Proper Name''': Thasian
* '''Pronunciation''': Th’As’i’An


A human named Charles Evans was the only survivor of a crashlanding on the planet Thasus. Because he was young and the planet was inhospitable to humans, the Thasians granted him considerable psionic powers so that he might survive.
==Home System==
* '''Quadrant''': Alpha
* '''Location''': Kavis Sector (coordinates A27-0002-1300??)
* '''Proper Name''': Tha Davar
* '''Pronunciation''': Tha Da’Var
* '''Star''': It orbits a class M (Red) star
* '''Distance from Star''':  it's orbit is approximately 496 million km
* '''Companions''': It is the only planet in the system


After Evans was rescued from Thasus, he misused his powers, and caused considerable trouble. The Thasians located him after he had used his powers to take control of the USS Enterprise. At close range, they had no difficulty preventing him from using the abilities they had granted him; this suggests they possess at least the same powers as they granted Evans. One Thasian rematerialized people and objects previously dematerialized by Evans. It also transported itself to the Enterprise (or possibly projected an image of itself), and transported Evans from the Enterprise to its own ship.
==Home World==
* '''Proper Name''': Thasus
* '''Pronunciation''': Th’As’us
* '''Diameter''': 14,??? km (6,462 miles)
* '''Gravity''': 0.85, noticeable less than a standard gravity with a density of 5.8
* '''Axial Tilt''': 0.53%, with no seasonal changes
* '''Orbital Period''': 326 days
* '''Rotational Period''': 22.5 hours
* '''Classification''': M
** '''Surface Water''': 32%
** '''Atmosphere''': 0.86%, slightly below a standard pressure with 72% nitrogen, 13% oxygen, 25% trace chemicals
** '''Climate''': Planets surface is a desolate wasteland with almost no vegetation and scattered pockets of light radiation or hazardous gases.
** '''Population''': unknown.


Thasians have the power to confer psionic ability on other beings. Once they have done so, they either cannot or will not remove this power. When Captain Kirk suggested that Evans belonged with his own people, the Thasian said "that would be impossible." When Kirk suggested Evans might be trained not to use his powers, the Thasian replied that "we gave him the power so he could live. He will use it -- always." The Thasian then removed Evans from the Enterprise and disappeared with him, saying they offered him life, and would take care of him.
==History==
The Thasians are a race of non-corporeal beings with extremely powerful psychokinetic abilities, native to the planet Thasus. At once believed to be only a myth, Thasians were finally encountered by the Starship Enterprise in 2266.


Thasians travel through space within a glowing construct that is apparently their version of a space vessel. This does not seem to traverse space linearly, instead materializing and dematerializing. Sensors can detect this construct, but deflector shield indicate no solid substance.
In 2249, a ship crashed on Thasus, with a young boy, Charles Evans, the only survivor. The Thasians found Charlie and granted him their psychokinetic powers so that he could survive. In 2266, Charlie was rescued from Thasus and transferred aboard the Enterprise from the survey vessel Antares, for transportation to Colony 5, where he could be reunited with his closest living relatives.


The Thasian encountered in 2266 appeared as a translucent, floating human face approximately one meter tall that wavered and rippled constantly. It stated that it had taken its form from centuries ago so that it might communicate with humans. This is therefore unlikely to be the true form of most Thasians, and it may be that they can change forms only with difficulty.  
The Thasians did not realize Charlie was gone until it was too late, however. Charlie's great psychokinetic powers, combined with his immaturity and petulance, made him a great threat to others he encountered. He took control of the Enterprise and even destroyed the Antares before the Thasians could intervene. Eventually, the Thasians did arrive, and were able to reverse all of the changes Charlie made aboard the Enterprise, but were unable to save the Antares.
 
Taking on his form of centuries previous, before the Thasians had evolved beyond the need for physical bodies, a Thasian appeared on the Enterprise bridge as a translucent, floating humanoid head. He apologized to the crew of the Enterprise for the havoc Charlie had wrought onboard, and for the destruction of the Antares, explaining that they had arrived to retrieve Charlie.
 
When Captain Kirk asserted that Charlie should remain amongst his own kind, the Thasian countered by stating that Charlie was too much of a danger, and that he could never be taught to cease the use of his powers. Reluctantly agreeing, Captain Kirk allowed the Thasians to take Charlie back to Thasus, despite Charlie's protestations.
 
==Government==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the ages long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Description==
They are a race of non-corporeal, psionically powerful beings. They can appear as a translucent, floating humanoid head when they want to but it is unknown if their physical bodies that they no longer possess ever even looked humanoid.
 
==Physiology==
Since it is known that they no longer have a physical form and are essentially some kind of energy being the various Medical and Scientific experts who have reviewed the limited data available have come to the conclusion that this field of knowledge may not apply to them any more.
 
==Psychology==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Religion==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Mythology==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Society==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.  
 
==Culture==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Customs==
Due to the Federation Quarantine and the age’s long lack of contact between the Thasians and any and all other species nothing is known about them and this area of interest.
 
==Technology==
At this time it is unknown just how advanced they are or if they even need to rely any technology. Even the extent and degree of power they can generate is unknown.
 
==Economy==
It is unknown what form of internal economy they may have. What is known is that they have no outside contact and no trade with any other species. It is even unknown if they ever did have any off world trade as no documentation can be found to support this possibility.
 
==Military==
The Thasian ship was a space-faring vessel utilized by the non-corporeal Thasians. Apparently energy-based, the ship took on the appearance of an indistinct, green mass of light.
==Federation Intelligence Files==
In the later 23rd century, by reference stardate 2/2306.01, Thasus was under full Federation quarantine. See Federation Intelligent files # [[ma:Charlie X|TOS-2306-4862]] for a complete report.
 
==Notes==
Data for this came from the following sources, TOS episode & novelisation: Charlie X and the FASA RPG module: The Federation
