"One of Our Planets is Missing" is an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.
The Enterprise encounters a giant cloud creature that feeds on the energy of the planets that lie in its path. They determine it is heading for Mantilles, home to a Federation colony governed by former Starfleet officer Bob Wesley (featured in the ST/TOS episode "The Ultimate Computer)".
The Enterprise must discover a way to head off this threat before Mantilles is destroyed. Kirk takes the Enterprise inside the cloud in an attempt to stop it. Once inside, the ship loses power and Spock realizes that the cloud is an intelligent being which can be reasoned with. Spock mindmelds with the entity and tells it that it is killing life and attempts to persuade it to return to its place of origin. The creature then comprehends that its source of food--planets--are populated by many small living beings. It agrees to leave the Enterprise alone and to depart from this galaxy.
