Prime Timeline
(The root of all realities)

Stardate 3497.2: The Enterprise crew becomes embroiled in a local power struggle on a tribal planet.

The Enterprise visits planet Capella IV to prevent the Klingons from forming an alliance with the Capellans, a warlike but honorable people. When Captain Kirk prevents the slaughter of Eleen, the pregnant wife of deposed High Teer Akaar, he violates Capellan tradition. Kras, a visiting Klingon, is quick to capitalize on the situation, and as a result of his interference, the landing party and Eleen become hunted criminals. After McCoy delivers Eleen's baby, she escapes and returns to the Capellans, telling them both the humans and her child are dead. The Klingon kills the current Teer — and then is himself killed. Eleen's newborn son, named Leonard James Akaar, is named the new ruler. Kirk and his party leave Capella, having arranged diplomatic relations with the planet's government.
