Springer

Admiral Springer was the commander of Starbase 7 in 2270.

In 2270, Springer redirected the USS Enterprise from Starbase 47 to Starbase 7, following the Tarnak II Incident. Springer believed that Captain Kirk would be a liability around the Klingons following the incident. Springer was about to order the Enterprise to investigate the destruction of the USS Aquila before the attack on Starbase 14 took precedence. (TOS comics: The Chosen).
