Joseph Kirby

Joseph Kirby was a medical non-commissioned Starfleet crewman. Kirby was born in 2347 on New Manhattan colony to Salvador Kirby and Eileen Kirby.

In 2373, Kirby was assigned as an orderly at the Decker Memorial Hospital on Ajilon Prime and was present when the Klingon Empire launched an attack, forcing Irina Kalandra to evacuate seventy patients to a compound in caverns nearby. Kirby later befriended Jake Sisko when Jake and Julian Bashir assisted the Ajilon medical personnel, although Kirby's gallows humor did not sit well with Jake at times. When the Klingons were found to be approaching the compound, Kirby helped in the evacuation. 

In 2374, Kirby was assigned to the USS Akagi (NCC-62158) and participated in actions against the Dominion.
