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 the Kobayashi Maru's crew. His Starfleet serial number was SC 937-0176 CEC.
Kirk began his Starfleet career as a Cadet in 2250. While still a student at the Academy, James Kirk was granted a field commission as an Ensign and posted to advanced training aboard the USS Republic in the year 2251. He was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade in 2253 and returned to Starfleet Academy as a student instructor. Kirk developed a reputation as a "stack of books with legs" and it was said that in his class "you either think...or sink."
Upon his graduation from Starfleet Academy in 2254, Kirk was promoted to a full LieutenantA Lieutenant is a military or paramilitary officer. The word lieutenant derives from French; the lieu meaning "place" as in a position or territory; and tenant meaning "holding" as in "holding a position". The British monarch's representative in Ireland a and served aboard the USS Farragut, NCC-1647. Kirk gained a tremendous amount of experience onboard 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 her Captain) were killed.
James Kirk's career between 2254 and 2263 has never been established in the Star Trek universe; however fanonFanon is a fact or ongoing situation in fan fiction stories related to a television program, book, movie, or video game that has been used so much by fan writers that it has been more or less established as having happened in the fictional world, but it h has conjectured that he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander sometime around 2255. Further theories also holds that Kirk was promoted to CommanderCommander is a military rank used in many navies but not generally in armies or air forces. It is below Captain and above Lieutenant-Commander. Formerly the rank was Master and Commander . A Commander in the U. Navy commands a Frigate, Destroyer, Submarin in 2260 and assigned as the Officer-in-Charge for the Enterprise Refit Overhaul, where the ship was completely redesigned and refitted following ten years of space duty under Fleet Captain Christopher PikeChristopher Pike is a fictional character in Star Trek. He appeared in the pilot episode The Cage as captain of the Starship Enterprise, and was then played by Jeffrey Hunter. This pilot was rejected; another was made, and the character of Pike was droppe. Such duties would have made Kirk the ideal choice to become the next Commander of the Enterprise, which he was appointed in 2263 with a promotion to CaptainCaptain is both a nautical term and a military rank. The word came to English via French from the Latin capitaneus ("chief") which is itself derived from the Latin word for "head" caput . The term has different meanings both at sea and in the military..
Kirk became the third captain of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701, following in the footsteps of Captain Robert April and Captain Christopher Pike and preceded a string of others that included Captain John Harriman, Captain Rachel Garrett, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He commanded the Enterprise's historic five year mission from 2264-2269. Upon completion of the Enterprise's mission, he was promoted to Rear Admiral (apparently having skipped the rank of Commodore) and assigned as Chief of Starfleet Operations.
In 2272, to combat the V'Ger Crisis, Admiral Kirk acccepted temporary command of the Enterprise over Captain/Cmdr Willard Decker who oversaw its refit whilst in dry dock. After the subsequent disappearance of Decker, Kirk became the permanant Captain of the Enterprise from 2272 - 2276. Finally handing the reigns over to captain Spock. Between 2276 and 2282, Kirk's career is unknown, but it is assumed he ascended to the rank of Commodore and Rear Admiral, before retiring from Starfleet circa 2282.
In 2284, Kirk returned to Starfleet and was appointed a Vice Admiral in command of Starfleet Academy's training department. He was later demoted back to Captain after stealing the Enterprise and sabotaging the USS Excelsior NX-2000 in 2285. This was to be Kirk's terminal rank, and he retired as a Starfleet Captain in 2294 with 40 years of space service to his name.
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 2293.
In 2295 he was lost (and presumed dead) when the Enterprise B was damaged by the Nexus Of Joy, through which he entered. In this alternate plane of existence, he was persuaded by Captain Picard from the year 2371 to return to planet Veridian III in the "real" universe and stop Soran from sacrificing 283 million lives in order for him to reenter the Nexus. During the final battle with Soran, Kirk was killed and his remains were buried on Veridian III by Picard.
His adventures and tactics are of legendary renown in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
