Reed, George

Commander George Reed, who commanded Starbase 6 in the 2260s, adopted the air of a cruise ship director when welcoming visiting officers, but in private, he was a brooding, intense man, frustrated by his inability to secure an assignment commanding a starship. His successes at Starbase 6, ironically, impeded his career: no visiting flag officer could imaging drinking at the station’s Crystal Bar without “good old George” warming a stool beside them.[1]

Kerr, Jack

A patrician fellow with an air of natural authority, Commodore Jack Kerr demanded high standards of efficiency and decorum from his officers. The occasional facial twitch hinted at dark currents within the man, perhaps related to atrocities witnessed during the Axanar Rebellion. He kept as tight a rein on his emotions as on the daily operations of Starbase 4, which he commanded in the 2260s.[1]

Townsend, Aubrey

Dr. Aubrey Townsend commanded Starbase 2 in the 2260s. Dashing and unconventional, he ran a tight ship, thanks to a long-suffering team of senior medical officers, who nurtured his brilliance and covered for his organizational indifference. When not making medical history, Dr. Townsend was often found breaking hearts on his nursing staff.[1]

Starbase 9

Starbase 9 (TOS DC v2 73)
Starbase 9 (TOS DC v2 73)

Primarily a resupply post[3] near Pyris VII,[2] Starbase 9, commanded in the 2260s by Commodore Lee Block,[3] hosted a larger-than-usual science complement, which studied incoming transmissions from unmanned monitoring stations left behind by Starfleet explorers. When something strange happened in deep space, the officers of Starbase 9 were usually among the first to hear about it.[3] In 2266, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was en route to Starbase 9 for resupply when a near-collision with an uncharted black star propelled the ship back in time.[1] Several months later, it was the closest base when the Enterprise visited Pyris VII.[2]

Starbases

Watchtower-class starbase (TOS-53)
Watchtower-class starbase (TOS-53)

The Federation asserted its sovereignty in space space through a series of starbases, which could be located on a planet’s surface or on a space station, or a combination of both. This network of starbases provided a wide range of services; starbases could act as supply posts, recreation facilities, scientific outposts, trade hubs, and administrative centers. While all starbases provided each of these services, many were noted for their superiority in one or two specific areas.[1]

Starfleet Academy Seal (TNG-219)

An institute of higher learning and training facility for Starfleet officer candidates,[1] Starfleet Academy was founded in 2161 with the motto, “Ex astris, scientia,” a Latin phrase that translates as “From the stars, knowledge.”[3] Modeled after military academies from throughout Earth‘s history, the Academy, located at the Presidio[3] in San Francisco,[2] classified its cadets[3] — or midshipmen, in naval parlance[2] — with rankings based on class seniority.[2] Although admission to the Academy was open to non-Federation citizens, they required a letter of recommendation from a senior Starfleet officer, such as when Nog, a Ferengi, wished to apply in 2371.[4]

In 2368, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D was asked to deliver the commencement address for the year’s graduating class, the occasion was marred by the loss of Cadet Joshua Albert in a training accident shortly before commencement was to occur.[3]

Red Squad

Starfleet Academy cadets in the 24th century were typically organized into squads of approximately a half-dozen cadets.[7] Although each squad was officially equal, the cadets in Red Squad were generally held to be the Academy’s elite students.[5] Members of Red Squad received their own dormitory, as well as other privileges, in addition to special training.[5] Because of this elite status, many cadets, including Nog[6] and his fellow Omega Squad cadet Matt Decker,[8] aspired to become part of Red Squad.

In 2372, however, Red Squad became an unwitting tool in Admiral Leyton‘s attempted coup of Earth’s government. Under orders from Leyton, Red Squad, commanded at the time by Cadet Riley Shepard, sabotaged Earth’s global power grid, which Leyton then blamed upon a Dominion attack.[5]

One of three sons[1] of George Samuel Kirk, Jr. and Aurelan Kirk, Peter was with his parents on Deneva when the colony was attacked by Denevan neural parasites in 2266. While he was orphaned in the attack, Peter’s life was saved by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, commanded by his uncle, James T. Kirk.[2] Portrayed by Craig Hundley.

The only child of George Samuel Kirk, Jr. and Aurelan Kirk, Peter was infected by the Denevan neural parasites during an attack on the Deneva colony in 2258.[3] His life, along with the lives of his parents, was saved by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, commanded by his uncle, Captain James T. Kirk, whom Peter met for the first time when the crisis was resolved.[4]

Aurelan Kirk (TOS-29)

Aurelan was the wife of George Samuel Kirk, Jr., with whom she had three sons.[1] While on Deneva with George and their son, Peter, in 2266, the colony was attacked by Denevan neural parasites. The Kirks were infected shortly before the arrival of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, commanded by George’s brother, James T. Kirk. George succumbed to the immense stresses placed on his body by the parasites before the family could be found by an Enterprise landing party led by Jim. Aurelan soon succumbed as well after being taken aboard the Enterprise, dying before a cure could be found.[2] Portrayed by Joan Swift.

ST11 Timeline

Aurelan Kirk was infected by the Denevan neural parasites during an attack on the Deneva colony in 2258.[3] When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 arrived soon thereafter, the Kirk family’s lives were saved thanks to the quick actions of the crew. When the crisis had passed, George introduced Aurelan and the couple’s only child, Peter, to his estranged younger brother, Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk.[4]
