Overview

Star Trek was mainly concerned with Kirk's career as captain of the Starship Enterprise, and his later career as an Admiral with Starfleet, so some details of e.g. his earlier life may be regarded by fans of the series as unimportant, later additions to his story, or even non-canonical.


Family life

The town of Riverside, Iowa made a petition to Gene Roddenberry and Paramount Pictures in 1985, to "adopt" Kirk as their town's "Future Son". This promotion was similar to the town of Metropolis, Illinois, adopting Superman as their mascot. Though reportedly Paramount pictures never officially replied, Roddenberry sent an "official" response, on his Norway Productions stationary, giving his blessing to their endeavor. The Riverside Area Community Club holds an annual "Trek Fest" in anticipation of Kirk's birth [1], and the Starfleet International Star Trek Fan Association has commissioned a chapter of its group in the town's name [2]. All materials associated with this "hometown" status, is of course, non-canon in CBS/Paramount terms.

The non-canon Star Trek novel Final Frontier establishes that Kirk's father is named George Samuel Kirk. Several other novels, published by Pocket Books, list Kirk's mother's name as Winona. George Samuel, Jr. and Aurelan Kirk, Kirk's older brother and sister-in-law, died during the invasion of neural parasites on Deneva in 2267. Kirk's nephew, Peter Kirk, survived. According to dialog in the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", Samuel "Sam" Kirk, Jr. has two other children. This article is about the entire Star Trek franchise. ...

Although not considered canon, at least two Star Trek novels had material based in the real town of Riverside. "Best Destiny," an immediate sequel to the events shown in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, depicted Kirk's childhood in Riverside. The novel's opening chapter had a preteen Kirk playing with friends in fields near the English River.


Another novel, Final Frontier, not to be confused with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, was written as a "prequel" novel to the Original Series. Telling about the space adventures of James Kirk's father, Commander George Samuel Kirk, Sr., the opening and closing passages of the novel show Captain Kirk mulling over his Starfleet career options shortly after his first five-year mission. The younger Kirk was shown walking around the farmhouse owned by his family in Riverside. Its wrap-around veranda had views of both the English River and the Iowa River to the east.


In the world of official canon, Kirk is known to have fathered at least one child: David Marcus. He also fathered a child by the native woman Miramanee during a mission in which he lost his memory in the episode "The Paradise Syndrome," but Miramanee suffered injuries from her own people, resulting in a miscarriage and her own death. In the fictional universe of Star Trek, David Marcus (2261 - 2285) was the son of James T. Kirk and Dr. Carol Marcus and a major character in the films Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. ... The Paradise Syndrome is a third season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, and was broadcast October 4, 1968. ... Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is the natural or spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or the fetus is incapable of surviving, generally defined in humans at a gestation of prior to 20 weeks. ...


In Star Trek IV, he confirmed his birth place ("Let me guess: you're from outer space!" "No, I'm from Iowa, I only work in outer space.") His birth date has never been officially established, but both the official web site and fanon speculation suggest March 22, 2233, based upon the real-life birth date and age of actor William Shatner. Fanon is a fact or ongoing situation related to a television program, book, movie, or video game that has been used so much by fan writers or among the fandom that it has been more or less established as having happened in the fictional world, but it has not actually... is the 81st day of the year (82nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Although born on Earth, Kirk apparently lived, at least for a time, on Tarsus IV, where he was one of only nine surviving witnesses to the massacre of 4,000 colonists because of utilitarian extermination by Kodos the Executioner. This article is about Earth as a planet. ... In the fictional Star Trek universe, Tarsus IV is a planet that was discussed in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode The Conscience of the King. ... Kodos the Executioner in 2266 Governor Kodos, or Kodos the Executioner, a fictional character in the Star Trek television series episode The Conscience of the King, was the governor of a Federation colony on the planet Tarsus IV circa AD 2246. ...


Career

According to the back story, Kirk had a distinguished career in Starfleet Academy, becoming the first person to defeat the Kobayashi Maru test that stymied cadets for many decades. Whereas any situation would be met by the simulator's overriding dictate that the cadet lose, Kirk won by rewriting the program to allow him to rescue the Kobayashi Maru's crew. For this, he received a commendation for original thinking. The official logo of Starfleet Academy, circa 2370. ...

According to the back story, Kirk began his Starfleet career as a cadet in 2250. While still a student at the Academy, he was granted a field commission as an Ensign and posted to advanced training aboard the USS Republic in 2251. While there, young Ensign Kirk accused Ensign Ben Finney of carelessly leaving a switch to the atomic matter piles open which would have blown up the ship in a matter of minutes. This later would come back to haunt Kirk in the episode "Court Martial." Kirk was promoted to Lieutenant junior grade in 2253 and returned to Starfleet Academy as a student instructor.

According to the back story, upon his graduation from Starfleet Academy in 2254, Kirk was promoted to a full Lieutenant and served aboard the USS Farragut. He gained a tremendous amount of experience aboard the Farragut, commanding his first planet survey and also surviving a deadly attack by a gas cloud alien, in which a large portion of the Farragut's crew, including Captain Garrovick, were killed. According to the episode "Obsession," Kirk later felt that he had been negligent by hesitating when firing on the hostile alien life-form, which later killed Garrovick. Eventually Kirk learned that phaser fire had no effect on the creature and his guilt feelings eased somewhat, however he still felt great sadness over the death of the Captain (whom Kirk had always regarded as one of the finest men he'd ever known).

According to the back story, Kirk became the youngest captain in Starfleet to date at 29. According to the official Star Trek website, Kirk, at the age of 32, was the third captain of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), following in the footsteps of Robert April, who predated Christopher Pike as captain of the vessel. Kirk commanded the Enterprise's historic five-year mission from 2265 until 2270. Alongside Kirk was his equally legendary first officer, the Human/Vulcan Spock, who also doubled as the Enterprise's science officer. Filling out the crew were chief medical officer Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, chief engineer Montgomery Scott, communications officer Uhura, helmsman Hikaru Sulu, and later navigator Pavel Chekov. The crew's dedication to Kirk mirrored his own relentless loyalty to his ship.

Upon completion of the Enterprise's mission, Kirk achieved the rank of Rear Admiral, and was assigned as Chief of Starfleet Operations. In the Star Trek novel Star Trek: The Lost Years by J.M. Dillard, it is stated that during this time period, Kirk was a diplomatic trouble-shooter for Starfleet who was sent on various missions, including a counter-terrorism mission on the planet Djana. However, Kirk was unfulfilled in this administrative role. Spock later told his friend, "Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny...anything else is a waste of material."

In Star Trek II, in 2285, Admiral Kirk briefly took command of the Enterprise in order to pursue his old enemy, Khan Noonien Singh. He was later demoted to Captain after stealing and scuttling the Enterprise, and sabotaging the USS Excelsior that same year in order to revive Spock, who died in the mission to stop Khan.

With Dr. Carol Marcus, Kirk had a son, David, who was killed by Klingons in 2285. The death of his son enraged Kirk for years to come. While he had always been distrustful and wary of the Klingons, after David's death, he held them collectively responsible for the death of his son. When Spock, on behalf of his father Sarek, opened negotiations with the Klingon Empire after the Praxis incident and 'volunteered' Kirk to lead the mission, Kirk was enraged. When Spock pointed out that they were dying, his sharp response was "Let them die!" It was only when the Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, on his deathbed, pleaded, "Don't let it end this way," that Kirk started to realize not all Klingons were responsible for his son's death, and finally started to let go of his hate of the Klingon people. In the fictional universe of Star Trek, Dr. Carol Marcus was one of the leading molecular biologists in the Federation. ... This article is about the fictional race. ...

In the Star Trek universe, Gorkon (David Warner) was the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire and leader of its High Council in the late 23rd Century - from 2291 until his assassination in 2293. ...


In Star Trek VI, a Klingon court convicted him of murdering Gorkon in 2293; he was sentenced to a life term in the prison mines of Rura Penthe, but was subsequently rescued and cleared of guilt. In Star Trek continuity, Rura Penthe is an ice-covered Klingon penal colony, whose primary activity is dilithium mining. ...


Death

In the film Star Trek Generations, Kirk was lost and presumed dead when the USS Enterprise-B was damaged by The Nexus, which he entered. In this alternate existence, he was persuaded by Jean-Luc Picard from the year 2371 to return to Veridian III and stop Tolian Soran from sacrificing 230 million lives in order for him to re-enter the Nexus. During the climax, Kirk was able to retrieve and activate a cloaking control device from a damaged construction span, enabling Picard to sabotage Soran's plans. However, the span collapsed, causing Kirk to fall. Picard managed to get to Kirk as he lay dying underneath the wreckage, and subsequently buried his predecessor on the plateau. Star Trek Generations (Paramount Pictures, 1994) is the seventh feature film based on the Star Trek science fiction television series. ...

Tolian Soran is a fictional character in the Star Trek universe, portrayed by Malcolm McDowell in the film Star Trek: Generations. ...


Generations conflicts with the TNG episode "Relics," where it is established that Kirk was alive when the Scotty character became trapped in a transporter beam until the TNG timeframe. "Relics" thus raises questions within the Star Trek canon as to whether Generations was indeed the end for James T. Kirk, even though he will not be seen again until an alternate timeline version of the character appears in the eleventh Star Trek film, scheduled for release in 2008.


In the original script of Generations, Soran killed Kirk by shooting him in the back. This filmed ending was changed after negative reactions from test audiences. The revised death in the film was still not well received by many fans. Fan edits were later made to prove that the movie could have worked as an independent TNG story and did not need Kirk involved at all.

"Shatnerverse"

In books written by William Shatner, beginning with Star Trek: The Return, Kirk's remains on Veridian III were apparently taken, beamed-up by a de-cloaking Romulan shuttle, before Jean-Luc Picard could summon help from the Federation rescue mission. Getting away, Kirk is somehow brought back to life by technology being used by a combined alliance--between the Romulans and the Borg. Both factions were hoping to use the rejuvenated Kirk as a cyborg "weapon", with which to assassinate Picard. The captain of the Enterprise-D had proved a formidable nemesis to both groups. William Alan Shatner (born on March 22, 1931) is a Canadian actor who gained fame for playing James Tiberius Kirk of the USS Enterprise in the television show Star Trek from 1966 to 1969 and in seven of the subsequent movies. ...

Kirk eventually sees through the Romulan-Borg effort, and assists the Federation in covertly "shutting down" what is presumed to be the Borg homeworld, with Kirk himself pulling the plug. He survives the ordeal and goes on to have further adventures in the modern Trek universe. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...


Pocket Books does not acknowledge the events of the "Shatnerverse" storylines in their canon, and thus Kirk has not appeared outside of the books written by Shatner. All of the Trek novels however, have an uncertain canonicity. Pocket Books is the name of a subdivision of Simon & Schuster publishers. ...


Mirror Universe

In the Mirror Universe, Kirk was a loyal officer in the Starfleet of the Terran Empire. He commanded the ISS Enterprise after assassinating the ship's previous captain, Christopher Pike. Kirk's first action for the Empire was the execution of 5,000 colonists on Vega IX. His second action was the suppression of an alien uprising by simply destroying the rebels' homeworld. After briefly exchanging places with the regular universe's Kirk ("Mirror, Mirror"), the mirror Kirk was quickly locked up in the brig by Spock. He attempts to bribe Spock with money and his own command, but Spock refuses.

The regular universe's Kirk would later be revealed as having convinced the mirror Spock to make the Empire more peaceful in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Crossover." Unfortunately, Spock's reforms led to the Empire being attacked and defeated by the Klingons and the Cardassians.

Other appearances

  • In the "Shatnerverse" novels written by William Shatner, the mirror Kirk is subsequently supported by mirror Spock in a bid to take control of the Terran Empire. Kirk becomes the most brutal dictator in history as the Emperor Tiberius. His Empire is eventually overthrown by Spock, as Deep Space Nine had confirmed with their Mirror Universe episodes, set many years after the events, starting with Crossover. Mirror Kirk found a way to form a joint Klingon/Cardassian alliance to invade and take over Earth and Vulcan, while he was put into cryo-sleep for the next 80 years, biding his time to return as Emperor in Spectre. In most other print sequels, such as The Sorrows of Empire by David Mack (part of the Glass Empires trade paperback), the mirror Kirk and Spock quickly become bitter enemies; eventually Kirk is assassinated by Spock, who takes sole control of the Empire.
  • Kirk appears in the archive footage of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations," where Benjamin Sisko takes the chance to meet him after saving him from being killed by Arne Darvin. Kirk also meets Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir after they get involved in the bar fight and Kirk interrogates the crew who took part in it.
  • Aside from his above appearance in DS9 and his mention in "Crossover", Kirk is mentioned by Worf to Kor in the DS9 fourth season episode "The Sword of Kahless", where Worf asks Kor about the events of "Errand of Mercy."
  • In the TNG episode "The Naked Now", when the crew are afflicted by a strange sickness which causes them to act drunk, Riker and Data are searching for a similar condition in the Starfleet database when they come across a log entry of the original Enterprise, commanded "by a Captain James T. Kirk." This is a reference to the TOS episode "The Naked Time".
  • In the Voyager episode "Q2", Icheb writes an essay about Kirk and performs a speech about Kirk in front of Captain Janeway. Q would later say that his speech wasn't very interesting.
  • The character of Kirk is portrayed by fan James Cawley in his unofficial Internet-distributed fan-produced episodes of Star Trek: New Voyages.
