conversations.value: Beyond the Farthest Star (Star Trek: The Animated Series): On stardate 52213, while exploring on the outermost rim of the galaxy the Federation starship Enterprise is pulled into the orbit of a dead star.\nTrapped there, the crew discovers that there is a massive derelict 300,000,000-year-old pod ship trapped with them as well.\nCaptain Kirk beams aboard the huge starship with a boarding party that includes First Officer Spock, Chief Medical Officer dr McCoy and Chief Engineer Scott, where they learn it was once home to an insectoid race.\nThey also learn from a pre-recorded message left behind that the ship had become almost completely controlled by a malevolent entity seeking a means to escape the dead sun and travel to other worlds.\nThe ship's crew had created an isolated chamber that the entity did not control, and from there recorded a warning message and then self-destructed their own ship rather than let it be used by the entity.\nThe entity begins trying to pierce into the isolated chamber where the Enterprise party is and manages to beam back with them.\nQuickly fleeing into the workings of the ship, it disables the self-destruct mechanism and tries to force the crew to do its bidding.\nFinally, Kirk flies the Enterprise toward the dead star in what appears to be a suicide run, but in actuality is part of a sling-shot maneuver for escaping its massive gravity.\nThe entity believes the ship will crash and be destroyed and so flees, with the Enterprise successfully escaping both it and the dead star.
