In the mirror universe, Balok was the commander of the flagship Fesarius of the First Federation.
While out patrol, the ISS Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, encountered the First Federation vessel Fesarius. Pike wanted to claim the vast Fesarius for himself and sent his first officer, James T. Kirk, and a landing party over to acquire the vessel. They were greeted by Balok, but Kirk simply killed him and raided his laboratory for any useful technology. Years later, his fossilized body (along with Pavel Chekov's) became Kirk's prized possession. Balok's trademark smile was permanently preserved. One piece of technology he came across was the Tantalus field, which Kirk was able to use to assassinate Pike and assume command of the Enterprise. (TOS video game: Shattered Universe, TOS episode: "Mirror, Mirror", ST novel: Dark Victory)
