James Tiberius Kirk was born aboard the Einstein class U.S.S. Kelvin NCC-0514,[1] to Lieutenant Commander George Kirk and Lieutenant Winona Kirk.[2] Named for both his maternal grandfather, James Davis,[1] and his paternal grandfather, Tiberius Kirk.[2] Kirk was raised with his brother in Iowa,[3] though he also accompanied his parents to other planets, such as Tarsus IV, where he was a witness to the massacre of half the colony's population by Governor Kodos the Executioner in 2247.[4]
Kirk entered Starfleet Academy in 2250. He was a gifted, studious cadet, and was assigned to the U.S.S. Republic NCC-1371 for his cadet cruise in 2254, where he befriended Lieutenant Ben Finney, but that friendship didn't prevent Kirk from logging an incident in which Finney left a circuit to the vessel's reactor core open, endangering the ship. The incident report caused Finney to be moved to the bottom of the promotions list, and resulted more than a decade of enmity from the older man.[5] Upon his graduation, was promoted to Lieutenant, and his first posting was the U.S.S. Farragut NCC-1647 under Captain Garrovick.[6]
Commander Kirk served as the first officer aboard the U.S.S. Eagle NCC-956 under Captain Botwin, until his promotion to Captain in 2263 and his assignment as commanding officer of the Hermes class U.S.S. Sacagawea NCC-598. During his tenure as captain of the Sacagawea, he encountered a Klingon captain named Koloth for the first time.[7]
In 2265,[8] on Stardate 1278.4, Kirk assumed command of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from Captain Christopher Pike,[9] becoming the third commanding officer of that vessel,[10] and began what would become an historic Five Year Mission.[11]
