Battle of Vulcan

On Stardate 2258.42, Vulcan was attacked by the Narada, a Romulan ship from the future. Six Starfleet ships were destroyed by the Narada:[1] the U.S.S. Truman,[1] the U.S.S. Farragut NCC-1647,[1] the U.S.S. Mayflower NCC-1621,[1] the U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-1718,[2] the U.S.S. Armstrong NCC-1784,[2] and the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764.[2] The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 survived only because its departure from Earth was delayed, allowing Cadet James T. Kirk to warn Captain Christopher Pike of the danger that the ship faced.[1] Unfortunately, none were able to stand up to the power of the Narada‘s future weaponry, and Vulcan was destroyed by an artificial quantum singularity, killing billions of Vulcans in a matter of minutes.[1]

The Starship Armstrong was a Miranda class vessel.[1]

ST11 Timeline

The Starship Armstrong was part of a Starfleet task force destroyed by the Narada in the Battle of Vulcan on Stardate 2258.42.[2]

The Armstrong‘s registry number was never given, but as every other ship has shared its registry number with its Prime Timeline counterpart, it seems logical that the Armstrong would, as well.

U.S.S. Mayflower NCC-1621 (ST-11)

ST11 Timeline

The Starship Mayflower was part of a Starfleet task force destroyed by the Narada in the Battle of Vulcan on Stardate 2258.42. When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 arrived on the scene, it nearly collided with the remains of the Mayflower‘s saucer section.[1]

The special features on the DVD/BluRay release revealed that the ship pictured was the Mayflower. Additionally, although the novelization stated that the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 narrowly avoided colliding with the wreckage of the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764‘s saucer as it came out of warp, on-screen evidence shows that the saucer, in fact, belonged to the Mayflower, which was of the same class.[1, 2]

Commodore José Mendez succeeded Commodore Stone as commander of Starbase 11 in 2266.[1] Soon afterward, Commander Spock abducted the crippled Fleet Captain Christopher Pike and stole the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in order to transport Pike to Talos IV.[2] An illusory version of Mendez presided with Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk and Pike over Spock’s court martial for charges of mutiny and violation of General Order 7,[2, 3] but the real Mendez, having witnessed the events thanks to the Talosians‘ powers of illusion, later cleared Spock of all charges.[3] Portrayed by Malachi Throne.

The commander of Starbase 11, Commodore Stone presided over the court martial of Captain James T. Kirk in 2266, for the apparent death of Lieutenant Commander Ben Finney. Stone, who had commanded a starship earlier in his career, urged Kirk to resign for the good of the service when the evidence implicated the young captain.[1] Soon afterward, Stone was succeeded as commander of Starbase 11 by Commodore José Mendez.[2] Portrayed by Percy Rodriguez.

Williams, Gerald

A cagey Cockney with extensive experience as a field officer, Commodore Gerald Williams was named as commanding officer of Starbase 10 in 2266, after Commodore Stocker disgraced himself through rash actions aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Underlying Williams’ habitual good humor was a determination to not let the Romulans put anything past him.[1]

Commodore Stocker (TOS-40)

Slated to assume command of Starbase 10 in 2266, Commodore George Stocker was traveling aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 when several of the ship’s crew, including Captain James T. Kirk, were infected with a radiation-induced hyperaccelerated aging disease. Fearing the loss of these officers, Stocker assumed command of the Enterprise and violated the Romulan Neutral Zone in an effort to reach Starbase 10’s medical facilities more quickly, nearly causing an interstellar incident in the process.[1] Disgraced by these actions, Stocker was stripped of his command and replaced by Commodore Gerald Williams.[2] Portrayed by Charles Drake.

Block, Lee

Bold, bald, and gregarious, Commodore Lee Block of Starbase 9, which he commanded in the 2260s, whiled away his time chatting with visiting field officers and awaiting his imminent promotion to rear admiral. He didn’t want to take any chances that the assignment would trip him up, so he closely screened incoming scientific data for possible threats to Federation security.[1]
