James Tiberius Kirk, was the captain of the starship Enterprise (NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-A).
He commanded the Enterprise's historic five year mission from 2264-2269. His adventures and tactics are of legendary renown in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. His Starfleet serial number was SC 937-0176 CEC.
Kirk was born in Riverside, Iowa on March 22, 2233. While a youth on Tarsus IV, he was one of only nine surviving witnesses to the massacre of 4000 colonists because of utilitarian extermination by Kodos the Executioner so that the colony could survive a devastating famine. George Samuel 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.
He had a distinguished career in Starfleet Academy, becoming the first person to defeat the Kobayashi Maru test that stymied cadets for many decades, even until the 2370s. 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 Kobayashi Maru crew.
In his first assignment, he served as Ensign aboard the USS Republic, NCC-1371 in the year 2250. He was promoted to Lieutenant immediately after his graduation from Starfleet Academy in 2254, and served aboard the USS Farragut, NCC-1647 until being promoted to captain in 2263. As captain of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701, he followed Captain Christopher Pike and preceded a string of others that included Captain John Harriman, Captain Rachel Garrett, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He was promoted to Admiral and Chief of Starfleet Operations in 2269, but never enjoyed the position. He was relieved to be demoted back to captain after stealing the Enterprise and sabotaging the USS Excelsior in 2285.
With Carol Marcus, he had a son named David, who was killed by Klingons in 2285. He recorded in his log that he could never forgive them for the death of his son, which was used as evidence against him when he was accused of murdering Klingon Chancellor Gorkon in 2291.
In 2295 he was lost when the Enterprise B was damaged by the Nexus. However, he was actually still alive in another plane of existence, where he was rescued by Captain Picard, only to be killed on Veridian III in 2371.
