Then a non-corporeal life form indigenous to the planet, that can take human form, decides it must care for Aster's son Jeremy, who is now an orphan, as it was their ancient weapon thathuged his mother. The entity takes the form of the boy's mother, Marla, and intends to take the boy down to the planet and raise him as his mother.

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before".
In this highly successful spin-off to the original Star Trek, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Galaxy-Class starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, set out to explore the final frontier. Along the way, they make first contact with myriad different species and solve reconflicts among those societies with whom they were already familiar, most notably the Klingon Empire.
