Hikaru Sulu (Kelvin timeline)

Hikaru Sulu was a Human Starfleet officer in the 23rd century. He served as the helmsman aboard the USS Enterprise (alternate reality).

Sulu took over at the helm of the USS Enterprise (alternate reality) because the originally-assigned helmsmen, McKenna, was ill. As the fleet went to warp on its maiden voyage, Sulu forgot to disengage the external inertial dampener, leaving the Enterprise in Earth orbit for several moments as the rest of the fleet jumped away. Though embarrassing, the extra time afforded by this delay caused the Enterprise to enter the Vulcan system after Nero's assault had destroyed the rest of the fleet.

Sulu participated in a space-dive along with and Chief Engineer Olson to disable Nero's drilling rig as it drilled to the core of. He was a skilled fencer and used his training and a retractable sword to fight Romulans on the drilling platform, saving Kirk from a potentially fatal attack by of the one of the Romulans. Subsequently, Kirk endeavors to return the favor, diving into a free fall to save a falling Sulu.
