Balance Of Terror
Stardate: 1709.1 / Airdate: 12.15.66
The Romulans have a new 'toy'. It's a cloaking device that renders their ships invisible. As the Romulans go on a killing spree of several Federation outposts near their borders, the Enterprise is called in for help. A cat and mouse game between Kirk and the Romulan Commander (Mark Lenard) ensues. But how can Kirk destroy an invisible vessel?
