From: Carlos (cmsahe) Subject: Re: James T. Kirk full name (help needed) Date: Friday, November 26, 1999 3:32 AM Well, I did a little of research and found his biography: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Crater/3517/ James Tiberius Kirk was the commander of the original star ship Enterprise during it's five year mission of exploration in 2264-2269. Kirk's Starfleet serial number was SC 37-0176 CEC. Kirk was born in 2233 in Iowa on planet Earth. In 2246, Kirk at age 13 was one of nine surviving eyewitnesses to the massacre of some 4,000 colonists at planet Tarsus IV by Kodos the Executioner. James Kirk lost his older brother, George Samuel Kirk, and sister-in-law, Aurelan Kirk, on planet Deneva due to the invasion of the Denevan neural parasites in 2267. Kirk's nephew, Peter Kirk survived. Sam Kirk had two other sons who were not on Deveva at the time of the tragedy. During his academy years, Kirk was tormented by an upperclassman named Finnegan, who frequently chose Kirk as a target for practical jokes. Later Kirk was able to wallop a replica of Finnegan which he found most enjoyable in 2267 on the amusement park planet in the Omicron Delta region. Kirk served as an instructor at the Academy and Gary Mitchell was one of his students. The two were good friends and once Mitchell took a poisonous dart on Dimorus that was meant for him. another one of Kirks friends was Ben Finney who named his daughter, Jamie after Kirk. A rift developed between Finney and Kirk around 2250 when the two were serving together on the U.S.S Republic. Kirk logged a mistake that Finney had made, and Finney blamed Kirk for his subsequent failure to earn command of a starship. One of Kirk's heroes at the academy was the Legendary Captain Garth of Izar, whose exploits are required reading at the academy. Years later, Kirk helped save his hero when Garth had become criminally insane and was being treated at Elba II penal colony. Another one of Kirk's personal hero's was Abraham Lincoln. Kirk earned a reputation for himself at the academy. He was the only cadet ever to have beaten the "no-win" Kobayahi Maru scenario. He did it by reprogramming the simulation computer to make it possible to win. He was awarded a commendation for original thinking. After graduation, Kirk was assigned to the U.S.S. Farragut. His first mission as a young lieutenant was to command a survey mission to Tyree's planet in 2254. While serving on the Farragut in 2257, Kirk blamed him self for the deaths of 200 Farragut personnel, including his Captain at the time. They were killed by a dikironium cloud creature at Tycho IV. Kirk felt he could have acted faster by firing on the creature, but years later he learned that he could have done nothing to stop it. Kirk's greatest adventure was when he was assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise. A historical five year mission from 2264-2269 that made him a legend in space exploration. By 2267, Kirk had earned an impressive list of commendations from Starfleet, including the Palm Leaf of Axanar Peace Mission. In 2267, Kirk was the first Starship captain ever to stand trail when he was accused of killing Ben Finney. His trail was held at Starbase 11. Kirk was proved innocent of any wrongdoing, and he was exonerated. Several of Kirk's voyages involved traveling trough time. Kirk sometimes ignored regulations when he felt it was for the greater good, amassed 17 separate temporal violations during his career, more than any other on file. Following the return of the Enterprise from the five-year mission in 2270, Kirk accepted a promotion to admiral and became chief of Starfleet operations, while the Enterprise underwent an extensive refit. At the time, Kirk recommended Will Decker to replace him as Enterprise Captain,although Kirk accepted a grade reduction when he retook command of the Enterprise to meet the V'Ger threat in 2271. Kirk returned to Starfleet in 2284 and became a staff instructor with the rank of admiral at Starfleet Academy. He didn't like the ground assignment and returned to active duty when Kahn hijacked the Starship Reliant and stole the Genesis device in 2285. His close friend Spock was killed sacrificing his life for the crew. It was later found out that Spocks katra had survived. Kirk hijacked the Enterprise to return to the Gneiss planet to retrieve Spocks body and then bring it to vulcan so his body and katra could be reunited and bring him back to life. The Enterprise was destroyed by Kirk to avoid it falling into Klingon hands. Kirk was charged with nine violations of Starfleet regulations in connection with the revival of Spock in 2285. All but one charge was dropped, disobeying orders of a superior officer. The Federation Council was so grateful for Kirk's role in saving Earth that it granted Kirk the command of the Enterprise-A. Shortly after his second retirement, Kirk was an honored guest at the launch of the Excelsior-class Starship Enterprise-B in 2293. Kirk was believed killed on that ships maiden voyage, although it was later learned that he had actually disappeared into a temporal anomaly called the nexus. He remained in the nexus until 2371, when he emerged to help save the inhabitants of the Veridan system. Kirk, work with fellow Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
