Admiral Cartwright_Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Cartwright is a character from the fictional universe of Star Trek. Cartwright holds the rank of Admiral and is an officer in Starfleet. In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the admiral was on Earth when Starfleet ships confirmed the presence of an un-identified cyclinder-like ship on a direct intercept course with Earth. A sphere was suspended just a short way down from the ship by a bright glowing tractor beam. The sphere was putting out a communication which caused extream damage to the power grid of anything in its path. After disabling several ships and an entire Starbase, the ship proceeded straight for Earth. Upon its arrival, it began to direct its transmission towards the oceans. Earths entire power grid failed, but the emergancy power grid was unaffected for the most part. As the weather control grid was out, chaotic weather devestated Earth. Cartwright and the Federation President attempted to help save as many people from the alien ship as possible. All Cartwright's attempts at responding failed, when he received a transmisson from Captian James T. Kirk aboard his captured Klingon Bird of Prey. Cartwright was told Kirk was going to attempt time travel, to respond to the probe. The transmition died just as Kirk began to explain how, and Cartwright simply ordered "Get him back! Get him back!". While Kirk was in the past, attempting to save Earth from the alien ship (later named "The Whale Probe") Cartwright and the president where attempting to maintain Earth until Kirk managed to get the probe to return to its place of origin.
