History
The Organians were a race of beings who existed in the Milky Way galaxy where they came to evolve into beings of energy.
The Klingons and the Federation were in dispute over the Klingon Empire expanding into spaces claimed by the Federation. With war breaking out, the Enterprise under James T. Kirk was sent to Organia to persuade its inhabitants to ally with the Federation and allow defenses. Before Kirk could persuade them, the Klingons occupied the planet. The Organians portrayed themselves as being a race barely into the Industrialized Age. Even Spock remarked to Kirk that they represented a classic example of a race experiencing no significant evolution, as their technology had shown no measurable advance in thousands of years.
The Klingons and Enterprise started to attack each other while in orbit, yet both sides were stopped by the Organians through their immense powers.
Overview
In appearance, the Organians despite seeming to be humanoids were actually incorporeal energy creatures composed of pure energy and pure thought. They were said to be as far above us on the evolutionary scale as other races were above the amoeba. Their powers allowed them to assume a humanoid form in order to interact with other species.
They render all weapons belonging to the hostile parties inoperable through extreme heat, and then vanish.
They were shown to be highly opposed to any variety of violence; otherwise they held an almost gleeful indifference to their circumstances. They used powerful capabilities capable of enforcing an immediate bloodless end to a war between two interstellar nations which they do with a certain degree of disdain.

Novels
- In Q-Strike, the Organians appeared in the setting of the 1998 Pocket TNG novel written by Greg Cox. They appear to observe a battle between members of the Q Continuum and other seemingly omnipotent beings. The original Q identifies them after being asked by Captain Jean-Luc Picard who they are, and is rather dismissive, remarking that "compared to their code of noninvolvement, your Prime Directive is practically an incitement to riot."
Appearances
