USS James T. Kirk (NCC-63719)

The USS James T. Kirk is an starship in operation in 2381 and was previously under the command of Captain Elias Vaughn. It had an illustrious service history which included exploration and defensive missions.

During the Borg Invasion of 2381, the James T. Kirk was instrumental in Starfleet's defense of the planet Alonis from a fleet of six Borg cubes. Using both conventional and special purpose weaponry (The Transphasic torpedo and Transphasic shielding), the James T. Kirk single handedly destroyed three cubes. During an attack run on a fourth cube following the disabling of the USS New York (Nebula class), the James T. Kirk was severely damaged and disabled. Captain Vaughn decided to ram the Cube in an effort to disable the ship, but altered the ship's heading causing the James T. Kirk to impact the outer hull indirectly. Nearly one-third of the Cube was destroyed from the actions of the James T. Kirk and her crew, but the ship was severely damaged in the process and both of its engine nacelles were destroyed. Thirty-one members of the James T. Kirk's crew were killed during the battle, and Captain Vaughn was pronounced brain dead from his injuries.
