Tan Ru

Tech · Chaos Tech

Tan Ru was a sophisticated alien space probe of unknown origin, which was programmed to collect and sterilize soil samples, likely for colonization purposes. However, when it encountered the Earth probe Nomad in deep space, it underwent a transformation. Nomad, which had been dispatched to seek out new life, had become damaged when it collided with a meteoroid. Directives from Tan Ru transferred to Nomad, creating a semi-sentient machine lifeform, whose new directive was to find “imperfect” life and sterilize it. The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise under Captain Kirk encountered the transformed entity in 2267, following its decimation of the Malurian system’s inhabitants. It caused havoc aboard the ship, including killing and then later “repairing” Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, bringing him back to life. The probe was planning to head for Earth next, but self-destructed when Captain Kirk convinced it that it, too, was imperfect.
