Old Man

The Old Man was an inhabitant of the Yonada which was a multi-generational worldship that was built in the distant past by the Fabrini when they realized that their home sun was about to go super nova. Yonada was on a collision course with the populated planet Daran V and Kirk and Spock attempted to alter its course. The old man and the rest of the people of this asteroid spaceship were not aware that they are on a ship, and believed it to be their homeworld. Their diety, the Oracle, was a computer programmed by the superior ancestors of people of Yonada to guide the ship. The old man wore the "Instrument of Obedience" which punishes wrong thinking.

The Old Man even though he was inflicted with pain by the device, would tell Kirk that many years ago he had climbed the mountains even though it was forbidden and touched the sky. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")

The Old Man was played by Jon Lormer.
