 LIEUTENANT COMMANDER GARY MITCHELL

PLAYED BY: Gary Lockwood
SPECIES: Human Male

Navigator of the U.S.S. Enterprise and close friend of Captain James T. Kirk. Both had attended Starfleet Academy together and Kirk requested Mitchell aboard his first command. Mitchell had taken a poisonoius dart on the planet Dimerus that was intended for Kirk and nearly died in the process. When the Enterprise crossed the galactic barrier in 2265, Mitchell's high ESP (extra-sensory-perception) rating reacted with the negative energy present in the barrier, bestowing him with extraordinary powers. Proving to be a danger not only to the Enterprise, but all of mankind, Captain Kirk had no choice but to maroon Mitchell on planet Delta Vega. When Mitchell escaped, Kirk was forced to crush him with a falling boulder. Although Mitchell had turned against his captain and friend, Kirk recorded in his log that he died in the line of duty.
   
 DOCTOR ELIZABETH DEHNER
 
PLAYED BY: Sally Kellerman
SPECIES: Human Female
 
Psychiatry specialist who joined the Enterprise at the Aldebran Colony in 2265. Her mission was to study crew reactions in an emergency. Like Gary Mitchell and nine other members of the crew, she had a high ESP rating and was greatly affected by the galactic barrier that the Starfleet ship breached. Although she didn't acquire her powers as quickly as Mitchell, she did nevertheless and escaped from the Delta Vega detention facility with him. When Captain Kirk pursued the two, Kirk was able to convince Dehner that Mitchell was a great threat. Remembering her duty as a Starfleet officer, she used her powers to subdue Mitchell, allowing Captain Kirk to kill him. Dehner died shortly after, having been gravely injured by Mitchell's counter-attack.
