He was horrified by the way the Klingons maintained "order" on occupied planets, by organizing them into vast labor camps, taking and killing hostages and confining the people's leaders. He became convinced that the Klingons were a brutal people who could not be trusted.<ref name="TOS27"/> |
| − | + | In [[Chronology: 2257|2257]], Kirk was involved in a serious incident that left him deeply troubled for many years. Near [[Tycho IV]], the ''Farragut'' encountered a mysterious and dangerous [[dikironium cloud creature|gaseous entity]]. Kirk hesitated for a brief moment before firing the ship’s [[phasers]] and, when the creature attacked, a third of the crew, including Captain Garrovick, were killed. Although Starfleet found nothing wrong with his actions, Kirk blamed himself for the disaster.<ref name="TOS47"/> Twenty-four hours later, on [[Stardate]] [[Chronology: 2257#3131|3131.3]], the ship, now under the command of First Officer [[Chenowyth]], had been stabilized when it was attacked by a swarm of carnivorous, insectile creatures, which bored into the hull of the disabled ship. Kirk and a [[Vulcans|Vulcan]] passenger, [[T'Cel]], ensured that the ship was able to safely complete an emergency saucer separation before initiating the self-destruct sequence on the engineering hull, eliminating the threat. Kirk and T'Cel evacuated in an escape pod before the ship was destroyed, and made their way to one of the newly-constructed [[Watchtower class|''Watchtower'' class]] outposts, [[Watchtower 13|''Watchtower'' 13]], along the nearby [[Romulan Neutral Zone]]. Kirk was wounded, and a Romulan vessel was approaching to investigate the explosion. T'Cel placed Kirk into a [[cryogenics|stasis]] tube to prevent his capture by the Romulans, whom she said she had fooled into believing that she was the only person aboard the outpost. When Kirk was recovered, it appeared that T'Cel had died in the escape pod, leading the Romulans away from the outpost.<ref name="TOSDCDoH"/> | |

The two parted on good terms but didn't see one another for several years.<ref name="TOS14"/> In fact, it seems that Kirk’s dedication to his career made it almost impossible for him to form lasting relationships. Kirk served as the ''Eagle's'' first officer until his promotion to Captain in [[Chronology: 2263|2263]] and his assignment as commanding officer of the [[Hermes class|''Hermes'' class]] [[U.S.S.

Although Kirk and Finney had never reconciled their differences, Kirk did not object when Finney was assigned to his ship as records officer.<ref name="TOS14"/> |
| − | + | Kirk was on very good personal terms with many of his officers, who respected and admired him. Occasionally, these relationships verged on romance—Kirk evidently became close with [[Doctor]] [[Noel, Helen|Helen Noel]] at a science lab [[Christmas]] party—but on the whole he felt it was inappropriate to become romantically involved with another member of his crew.<ref name="TOS10"/> Although Kirk didn’t establish any lasting romances, he did form some of the most important friendships of his life while he was aboard the ''Enterprise.'' His first officer, the half-[[Vulcans|Vulcan]] [[Spock]], and the ship’s [[Chief Medical Officer]], Doctor [[McCoy, Leonard|Leonard McCoy]], became his lifelong friends.<ref name="ST02"/> | |

| − | + | Tactically, Kirk was one of the finest officers who ever served in Starfleet, and he consistently proved himself the equal of many adversaries. Kirk’s many exploits included the discovery of replicable means of [[time travel]],<ref name="TOS06"/><ref name="TOS21"/> several important conflicts with the [[Klingon Empire|Klingon]]<ref name="TOS27"/> and [[Romulan Star Empire|Romulan]] Empires<ref name="TOS08"/> (including a mission where he stole a Romulan [[cloaking device]]),<ref name="TOS59"/> the first successful journey across the galactic barrier,<ref name="TOS50"/> and an incident involving the [[Mirror Universe]].<ref name="TOS39"/> | |

| + | Kirk and his crew also repelled several attempts to invade [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] space. In [[Chronology: 2268|2268]], the ''Enterprise'' encountered an [[doomsday machine|automated weapon]] that had destroyed several planets and crippled the [[U.S.S. Constellation NCC-1017|U.S.S. ''Constellation'' NCC-1017]]. Kirk finally managed to defeat the weapon by setting the ''Constellation'' to self-destruct and flying it inside the planet-destroying device.<ref name="TOS35"/> In the same year, Kirk and his crew defeated a massive spaceborne [[amoeba cozmozoan|"amoeba" cosmozoan]] that had destroyed the [[U.S.S. Intrepid NCC-1631|U.S.S. ''Intrepid'' NCC-1631]] and threatened Federation space.<ref name="TOS48"/> Kirk also convinced the [[Kelvans]] to stop their intergalactic invasion plans.<ref name="TOS50"/> Despite all his achievements, in [[Chronology: 2266|2266]] Kirk stood trial in a court-martial when he was accused of the murder of Ben Finney. During the trial, it emerged that Finney, who was still obsessed with Kirk, had faked his own death, and Kirk was exonerated.<ref name="TOS14"/> | ||
| − | + | Kirk endured other hard times during his command. In [[Chronology: 2265|2265]], he was forced to kill Gary Mitchell when his friend gained extremely potent psionic powers after passing through the Galactic Barrier, becoming a serious danger to the rest of the crew and the Federation at large.<ref name="TOS01"/> In [[Chronology: 2267|2267]], the ''Enterprise'' visited [[Deneva]], where Kirk’s older brother, [[Kirk, George Samuel|George Samuel Kirk Jr.]], was working as a research biologist. When the planet was attacked by a race of [[neural parasites]], Sam (as Kirk called him) and his wife [[Kirk, Aurelan|Aurelan]] were killed, and their son [[Kirk, Peter|Peter]] barely survived.<ref name="TOS29"/> Fortunately, Sam’s two other sons<ref name="TOS09"/> were not on the planet at the time.<ref name="TOS29"/> | |

| − | + | Kirk also had a difficult time romantically. In 2267, he traveled back in time to 1930 and fell in love with Edith Keeler, but was forced to let her die in order to preserve the flow of history.[13] In 2268, he spent several months living among a Native American community when he was stranded on a planetoid with amnesia. During this time he married a woman named Miramanee, who became pregnant. Shortly after the Enterprise returned to rescue Kirk, she and her unborn child were stoned to death by an angry mob.[24] Later that year, Kirk fell deeply in love with the android Rayna Kapec. He awakened similar feelings in her, but she was unable to cope when asked to choose between Kirk and her creator, the immortal Mr. Flint; her programming failed, and she died. Kirk was so distressed by her death that Spock took the unprecedented step of mind-melding with him to remove the painful memories.[28] | |

She reveals that she is half-Romulan, and while raised Vulcan, was accepted as part of Romulan society.<ref name="TOSDCDoH"/> | |

He rarely took shore leave,[9] and Dr. McCoy was forced to order him to relax on more than one occasion. He was extremely devoted to his ship, which he looked on as "a lady" who needed his love.[11] |
Kirk was just as dedicated to the members of his crew, and he disobeyed direct orders on several occasions in order to help officers under his command. For example, in 2266, he refused to obey Galactic High Commissioner Ferris‘ order to abandon the search for a shuttlecraft which had been lost while investigating the Murasaki-312 quasar-like phenomenon.[7] The following year, Kirk disobeyed direct orders from Starfleet Command to attend the inaguration of the president of Altair VI. Instead, he ordered the Enterprise to Vulcan because his science officer, Spock, needed to return there in order to deal with his pon farr. Spock held his captain in such high regard that he asked him to be present at the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ceremony. As a result, Kirk and MCoy (who was also present) became part of a select band of Humans who have had first hand experience of this aspect of Vulcan culture.[15] In general, Kirk was intolerant of bureaucracy and often described himself as a soldier rather than a diplomat. However, he played an important part in resolving several conflicts, including the conflict between the Vendikar and Eminiar VII.[10] He also forced the inhabitants of Ardana to reconsider the divisive social system that forced one group of people to work in the zenite mines while others lived in luxury in the floating city of Stratos.[27] | Kirk was just as dedicated to the members of his crew, and he disobeyed direct orders on several occasions in order to help officers under his command.

After the V’Ger threat passed, Kirk remained in command of the Enterprise and began a new five-year mission of deep space exploration. This mission ended in 2277, and Kirk decided to retire from Starfleet five years later in 2282. During his retirement, Kirk fell in love with a woman named Antonia, whom he met at his uncle’s farm in Idaho. They lived together in a beautiful mountain cabin, but Kirk was clearly not satisfied. In 2284, he returned to Starfleet against her wishes and their relationship ended.[36] On his return to active duty, Kirk took up a post as an instructor at Starfleet Academy, moving into an apartment in San Francisco so that he could be near his work. By this time, his closest friend, Spock, who had been promoted to captain, was also working as an instructor at the Academy and as Captain of the Enterprise, which was now a cadet training vessel.[31] | After the V’Ger threat passed, Kirk remained in command of the Enterprise and began a new five-year mission of deep space exploration.

Although Kirk was only 53, at this point of his life he was beginning to feel his age. Even though he had chosen to return to Starfleet, he did not feel that he was young enough to return to the bridge of a starship and, despite Dr. McCoy’s advice, he refused to request a command of his own. In 2284, Kirk took the Enterprise on a cadet training mission. At the same time, the genetically engineered human, Khan Noonien Singh, took control of the U.S.S. Reliant NCC-1864, determined to wreak revenge on Kirk, who had left him on Ceti Alpha V in 2266. The Reliant had been assigned to the Genesis Project, led by Dr. Carol Marcus and Dr. David Marcus, the son she had with Kirk. Khan learned about the project and used it to lure Kirk into a battle near Regula-1, where the Marcuses were based.[31] | Although Kirk was only 53, at this point of his life he was beginning to feel his age.

After a year’s shakedown and refit, this new Enterprise entered service and the crew were sent to deal with a disturbance on Nimbus III. When they arrived, Spock’s renegade half-brother Sybok took control of the ship and headed for the Great Barrier at the center of the galaxy. The Enterprise was the first Federation vessel to pass through the barrier, and on the other side the crew met a malevolent entity who claimed to be God. Sybok was killed, but Kirk defeated the entity and returned to normal space.[34] | After a year’s shakedown and refit, this new Enterprise entered service and the crew were sent to deal with a disturbance on Nimbus III.

In 2293, Kirk was nearing retirement once again when he and the Enterprise were assigned to escort the Klingon chancellor, Gorkon, to vital peace talks with the Federation. Initially, Kirk, who blamed the Klingons for his son’s death, was unwilling to accept the assignment. The Klingon Empire was on the verge of collapse and he felt it would be better to let it die. However, Starfleet Command wanted to send someone who had been known as an enemy of the Klingons to show how serious they were about peace.[35] | In 2293, Kirk was nearing retirement once again when he and the Enterprise were assigned to escort the Klingon chancellor, Gorkon, to vital peace talks with the Federation.

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 one of only nine eyewitnesses to survive the massacre of half the colony's population by Governor Kodos the Executioner in 2247, and he would never forget what he saw.[4]
Kirk entered Starfleet Academy in 2250, at the age of 17, with the help of a man named Mallory. He was a brilliant and dedicated cadet, though some people, including an upperclassman named Finnegan, thought he was too serious and bookish.[5] Kirk was particularly impressed by one of his instructors, a history professor named John Gill, whom he considered one of the kindest and gentlest men he had ever met.[6] Kirk proved himself to be more than just an academic when he was the first cadet to beat the Kobayashi Maru scenario, a test designed to confront aspiring starship captains with a no-win situation. Refusing to accept that there was such a thing, Kirk broke into the Academy’s computer and reprogrammed the scenario so that he could achieve all his goals. Far from being criticized for his behavior, he was commended for original thinking.[7]
Assigned to the U.S.S. Republic NCC-1371 for his cadet cruise in 2254, Kirk befriended one of his instructors, Lieutenant Ben Finney. The two were close enough that Finney named his daughter Jamie in his honor, but that friendship didn't prevent Kirk from doing his duty. One day, Kirk relieved Finney on watch and discovered that he had left a circuit to the ship’s atomic matter piles open, seriously endangering the ship and the lives of everyone aboard. Kirk closed the circuit and logged the incident. As a result, Finney was reprimanded and moved to the bottom of the promotions list. He failed to accept responsibility for the incident and blamed Kirk, resulting in more than a decade of enmity from the older man.[8] While assigned to the Republic, Kirk was part of a mission to the planet Axanar, where one of his heroes, Captain Kelvar Garth, had won a famous victory. Kirk was awarded the Palm Leaf of Axanar for his part in the Republic's mission.[9]
After his tour on the Republic ended, Kirk returned to the Academy, where he became a student tutor. The class he taught earned quite a reputation among other cadets, who knew that in Kirk’s class it was "think or sink." Kirk became friends with one of his students, Gary Mitchell, whom Kirk would later request on his first command.[10] Kirk left a lasting impression on many of his other contemporaries, including R.M. Merrick, who was expelled after failing a psychosimulator test. Years later, Merrick still remembered Kirk as an example of all that was best about Starfleet officers.[11] During his time at Starfleet Academy, Kirk had at least three serious relationships: one with a blonde lab technician,[10] one with Janice Lester, which lasted a year,[12] and one with a beautiful young woman named Ruth.[5]
Upon his graduation in 2254, Kirk was promoted to Lieutenant, and his first posting was the U.S.S. Farragut NCC-1647 under Captain Garrovick.[13] The young Lieutenant Kirk first experienced command when he led a planetary survey party; during this mission he befriended the leader of the local hill people, a man called Tyree.[14] Kirk was serving aboard the Farragut during the Klingon War, and his experiences would cause him to develop an intense dislike for the Klingons. He was horrified by the way the Klingons maintained "order" on occupied planets, by organizing them into vast labor camps, taking and killing hostages and confining the people's leaders. He became convinced that the Klingons were a brutal people who could not be trusted.[15]
In 2257, Kirk was involved in a serious incident that left him deeply troubled for many years. Near Tycho IV, the Farragut encountered a mysterious and dangerous gaseous entity. Kirk hesitated for a brief moment before firing the ship’s phasers and, when the creature attacked, a third of the crew, including Captain Garrovick, were killed. Although Starfleet found nothing wrong with his actions, Kirk blamed himself for the disaster.[13] Twenty-four hours later, on Stardate 3131.3, the ship, now under the command of First Officer Chenowyth, had been stabilized when it was attacked by a swarm of carnivorous, insectile creatures, which bored into the hull of the disabled ship. Kirk and a Vulcan passenger, T'Cel, ensured that the ship was able to safely complete an emergency saucer separation before initiating the self-destruct sequence on the engineering hull, eliminating the threat. Kirk and T'Cel evacuated in an escape pod before the ship was destroyed, and made their way to one of the newly-constructed Watchtower class outposts, Watchtower 13, along the nearby Romulan Neutral Zone. Kirk was wounded, and a Romulan vessel was approaching to investigate the explosion. T'Cel placed Kirk into a stasis tube to prevent his capture by the Romulans, whom she said she had fooled into believing that she was the only person aboard the outpost. When Kirk was recovered, it appeared that T'Cel had died in the escape pod, leading the Romulans away from the outpost.[16]
Kirk was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and first officer aboard the U.S.S. Eagle NCC-956 under Captain Botwin[17][18] in 2258, and at this point was reunited with Carol Marcus,[17] the "blonde lab technician" that Gary Mitchell had "pointed in [his] direction" during their time at the Academy.[10] Their rekindled relationship ended a year later in 2259, and unbeknownst to Kirk at the time, Marcus was pregnant with their son, David Marcus.[17] When Kirk did finally learn about his son, Marcus asked him not to become involved in their child's upbringing, and Kirk respected her wishes.[7] Later that year, Kirk became involved with Janet Wallace, an endocrinologist, but their differing career goals pulled them apart.[19] During this period, he was also involved with Areel Shaw, an impressive young lawyer with the Judge Advocate General's office. The two parted on good terms but didn't see one another for several years.[8] In fact, it seems that Kirk’s dedication to his career made it almost impossible for him to form lasting relationships. Kirk served as the Eagle's first officer until his promotion to Captain in 2263 and his assignment as commanding officer of the Hermes class U.S.S. Sacagawea NCC-598.[18] At his request, his old friend Gary itchell was assigned to the Sacagawea.[10] During his tenure as captain of the Sacagawea, he encountered a Klingon captain named Koloth for the first time.[18]
In 2265,[20] on Stardate 1278.4, Kirk assumed command of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from Captain Christopher Pike,[21] becoming the third commanding officer of that vessel,[22] and began what would become an historic Five Year Mission.[10] Kirk excelled as a captain, and his exploits became requred reading at the Academy.[20] Kirk had a relaxed command style and enjoyed a close relationship with his crew. Although Kirk and Finney had never reconciled their differences, Kirk did not object when Finney was assigned to his ship as records officer.[8]
Kirk was on very good personal terms with many of his officers, who respected and admired him. Occasionally, these relationships verged on romance—Kirk evidently became close with Doctor Helen Noel at a science lab Christmas party—but on the whole he felt it was inappropriate to become romantically involved with another member of his crew.[23] Although Kirk didn’t establish any lasting romances, he did form some of the most important friendships of his life while he was aboard the Enterprise. His first officer, the half-Vulcan Spock, and the ship’s Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Leonard McCoy, became his lifelong friends.[7]
Tactically, Kirk was one of the finest officers who ever served in Starfleet, and he consistently proved himself the equal of many adversaries. Kirk’s many exploits included the discovery of replicable means of time travel,[24][25] several important conflicts with the Klingon[15] and Romulan Empires[26] (including a mission where he stole a Romulan cloaking device),[27] the first successful journey across the galactic barrier,[28] and an incident involving the Mirror Universe.[29]
Ben Finney (TOS 14)
Kirk and his crew also repelled several attempts to invade Federation space. In 2268, the Enterprise encountered an automated weapon that had destroyed several planets and crippled the U.S.S. Constellation NCC-1017. Kirk finally managed to defeat the weapon by setting the Constellation to self-destruct and flying it inside the planet-destroying device.[30] In the same year, Kirk and his crew defeated a massive spaceborne "amoeba" cosmozoan that had destroyed the U.S.S. Intrepid NCC-1631 and threatened Federation space.[31] Kirk also convinced the Kelvans to stop their intergalactic invasion plans.[28] Despite all his achievements, in 2266 Kirk stood trial in a court-martial when he was accused of the murder of Ben Finney. During the trial, it emerged that Finney, who was still obsessed with Kirk, had faked his own death, and Kirk was exonerated.[8]
Kirk endured other hard times during his command. In 2265, he was forced to kill Gary Mitchell when his friend gained extremely potent psionic powers after passing through the Galactic Barrier, becoming a serious danger to the rest of the crew and the Federation at large.[10] In 2267, the Enterprise visited Deneva, where Kirk’s older brother, George Samuel Kirk Jr., was working as a research biologist. When the planet was attacked by a race of neural parasites, Sam (as Kirk called him) and his wife Aurelan were killed, and their son Peter barely survived.[32] Fortunately, Sam’s two other sons[33] were not on the planet at the time.[32]
