Prime Timeline
(The root of all realities)

Admiral Robert L. Comsol^[1] was the commanding officer of Starfleet in 2267. Orders barring any Starfleet vessel or personnel from visiting Talos IV bore his signature, and he also apparently issued orders relieving Captain Kirk of command of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 during an incident where the Talosians sent transmissions to the ship while Commander Spock had commandeered the vessel to transport a severely injured Fleet Captain Pike to Talos IV, though that also proved to be one of the Talosians' illusions.^[2]

Notes and References

↑ Other sources, notably the Star Trek Concordance, erroneously assume that the orders came from COMSOL, an abbreviation for Commander, Solar Forces. Close examination of the HD video from the remastered edition of the episode, however, shows that it is, in fact, the name of an admiral.
