Voyages of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) (2264 to 2270)

Between 2264 and 2270, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. During his tenure as captain, the Enterprise was a major component in many events of Alpha Quadrant history, as well as minor, run-of-the-mill missions. Below is a list of all the printed adventures undertaken by the Enterprise over a six-year period, including the historic five-year mission from 2265 and 2270.



2264

 * Stardate 0000.5: In March 2264, Captain Kirk assumed command of the Enterprise, following the promotion of Captain Christopher Pike. Expecting to be assigned an exploration mission, Admiral Kimitake Noguchi orders Kirk to take the Warp-Speed Classic Vaudeville Company around the Federation Phalanx. The mission proved to be anything but simple, after an encounter with the renegade Klingon, Koronin, and an alien generational ship. (TOS novel: Enterprise: The First Adventure).


 * Note: The events and references in Enterprise: The First Adventure were later overridden by other novels, and can no longer be considered in the same continuity as later novels.


 * Stardate 1278.40: Captain Kirk assumes command of the Enterprise and relieves Captain Pike. The Enterprise 's first mission is to transport Pike to his next assignment on Draxis II. Enroute, the Enterprise once again encounters the Tralmanii, a race that Pike had once dealt with before when he commanded the Enterprise. (TOS comic: "All Those Years Ago...").


 * Note: This story provides an alternate take on the Enterprise 's first mission than the one provided in Enterprise: The First Adventure.


 * Captain Kirk used a shuttle to board the Enterprise for the first time taking command because the transporters were down. This would become a tradition for later Enterprise captains. (TNG novelization: Encounter at Farpoint).


 * Stardate 1297.80: Shortly after Lieutenant Nyota Uhura's assignment to the Enterprise, Captain Kirk and a landing party are taken prisoner by the Klingons. Willing to save her captain and crewmates, Uhura steals a shuttlecraft and eventually rescues the landing party. (TOS comic: "Uhura's Story").


 * Stardate 1003.6: In August 2264, the Enterprise was ordered to intercept an alien spaceship in the Mandylion Rift, which had registered as travelling at warp 15. On arrival in the Rift, they discovered that the Klingons were also expressing an interest. The aliens issue Kirk and Commander Kaul of the Klingons a challenge: one of each their crewmembers have to scale a mountain; whoever wins will receive the knowledge of their technology. Kirk sent Lieutenant Hounslaw Tanaka, but she failed the challenge and fell to her death. (TOS novel: Captain's Peril).


 * Note: The events depicted in this segment of Captain's Peril, may or may not have happened in the primary continuity, as it is part of the Shatnerverse.


 * Stardate 1305.4: On this date, the Enterprise stopped for supplies on Aldebaran III, where Dr. Leonard H. McCoy took a leave of absence to Starbase 6, and Dr. Elizabeth Dehner and Ensign David Bailey signed aboard. The Enterprise then began a star-mapping mission of Sector Epsilon Z-3, and discovered the mysterious planet Kapeshet. Upon beaming down to Kapeshet, Kirk and his landing party were sent back in time to the 21st century to witness the true first contact between humans and Vulcans. They were subsequently returned to the 23rd century and their memories of the mission were erased. (TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky).


 * Note: This novel could be placed in the same continuity as Enterprise: The First Adventure due to the reference to Dr. McCoy.


 * At the end of the year, the Enterprise was on a survey mission to Dimorus, when one of the Dimorans attempted to kill Captain Kirk with a poison dart, but the dart was taken by Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell. (TOS episode: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and novel: My Brother's Keeper, #3: Enterprise).


 * Shortly after, the Enterprise was redirected from the Muhlari system to Starbase 31, where she took aboard Admiral Ellen Mangione and her team. Mangione then diverted the ship to a planet in the Klingon Neutral Zone, where they were to check on the Klingon renegades, the M'tachtar. The M'tachtar managed to seize control of the Enterprise and headed for Qo'noS. Thankfully, Captain Kirk and his crew, along with the help of Commander Kang, managed to regain control. (TOS novel: My Brother's Keeper, #3: Enterprise).

2265

 * In early 2265, the Enterprise was summoned to the Noah system by Emperor MacMurray, who demanded to be worshipped as Emperor of the whole galaxy. Kirk was able to negotiate with MacMurray and was appointed Royal High Minister Plenipotentiary for MacMurray, in what became known as the MacMurray Encounter. (TOS novel: The Galactic Whirlpool)


 * Shortly after, the Enterprise was dispatched to the planet Tendar on a first contact mission, following the Tendarans' movements towards warp drive. Captain Kirk and Lt. Commanders Spock and Gary Mitchell beamed down to meet the Prime Minister, but instead of being greeted, were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Despite attempts to negotiate by Montgomery Scott, in command of the Enterprise, the Tendarans refused, stating that they wanted to make an example out of the prisoners. (TOS comic: "Prisoners")


 * Stardate 1312.4: In April 2265, Admiral Saylor ordered the Enterprise to the galactic barrier, where they discovered a disaster marker from the SS Valiant. Kirk ordered the Enterprise to probe beyond the barrier, which resulted in the death of nine crewmembers and the creation of god-like abilities in Gary Mitchell and Dr. Dehner. Kirk decided to maroon Mitchell on Delta Vega, but Mitchell was too powerful and a fight broke out. It was thanks to the actions of Dehner, that Mitchell was defeated. (TOS episode: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and novel: My Brother's Keeper, #1: Republic)


 * Note: It was stated in Constitution that Kirk had been in command of the Enterprise for 13 months.


 * Stardate 1321.6: After leaving Delta Vega, the Enterprise headed for Starbase 33 to be debriefed by Admiral Saylor. En route, they entered the Taurus Reach and stopped off at Vanguard (Starbase 47) for repairs. The repairs were rushed so that the Enterprise could investigate the destruction of the USS Bombay and the Starfleet listening post in the Ravanar system. (VGD novel: Harbinger)


 * After leaving Vanguard, the Enterprise continued on to Starbase 33 and Kirk was debriefed. Following the debriefing, the Enterprise returned to Earth (a journey of ten weeks) to attend the funeral of Gary Mitchell. On Earth, Janice Rand and Dr. McCoy joined the Enterprise crew.  (TOS novels: My Brother's Keeper, #2: Constitution, and #3: Enterprise).


 * Note: Harbinger featured Uhura as already being aboard the Enterprise following Where No Man Has Gone Before, which is at odds with My Brother's Keeper. However, this can be reconciled by ignoring Uhura coming aboard.


 * Stardate Unknown: While the Enterprise was traveling to Earth for Gary Mitchell's funeral, Captain Kirk tried to compose a letter to Gary's parents. Unable to write the truth about Gary's death, Kirk instead wrote a story about an adventure that Kirk and Mitchell had aboard the Farragut. (TOS comic: "Gary")


 * Stardate Unknown: After being promoted to helmsman, Hikaru Sulu led his first landing party on an uncharted world that held archaeological ruins. A member of Sulu's team accidentally triggered an ancient security system and geologist Vanani Manprasad was killed. Sulu confided with friend and shipmate Janice Rand about his self-doubt as to whether or not he was truly bridge officer material. Sulu got over his doubts after Kirk cleared him of all wrong-doing in the matter and assured him that the Helm was still his if he wanted it. (TOS short story: "The Landing Party")


 * Stardate 6001.11: The Enterprise entered drydock at Starbase 12 in the Gamma 400 system for minor refitting. She was relaunched a few months later (Stardate 6044.17) and began her fifth five-year mission. (USS Enterprise Heavy Cruiser Blueprints)

Kirk destroyed the Joy Machine by uploading a computer virus into the system with help from the local resistance. (TOS novel: The Joy Machine)

2266

 * Stardate 1329.8: While on patrol, the Enterprise rescued four survivors from a damaged freighter.  One of the survivors was discovered to be con-man Harry Mudd, while the others were three "beautiful" women.  It was thanks to the efforts of Mudd and his women that the Enterprise obtained replacement lithium crystals from Rigel XII.  (TOS novelization: "Mudd's Women", Mudd's Angels).


 * Stardate 1704.2: Enroute to Psi 2000, the Enterprise left a large survey team on the surface of Tlaoli IV. Following the incident at Psi 2000, resulting in the Enterprise being flung back in time three days, the Enterprise returned to Tlaoli early.  On arrival back at the planet, they discover that half of the team had disappeared.  Captain Kirk led a cave expedition team and found his team, but both he and Lieutenant Sulu were transposed in time, by a Jim Kirk from 2247, and Captain Sulu from an alternate 2287.  The situation was later resolved by travelling into the various timeframes and restoring the natural course of events.  (TOS novels: The Janus Gate, #1: Present Tense, #2: Future Imperfect, and #3: Past Prologue).


 * Note: The Janus Gate trilogy invalidated itself because it occured in the three day pocket of time, leaving the characters with no memory of the events afterwards.


 * Stardate 1699.0: The Enterprise was summoned to the Federation colony on Alpha Proxima II to deal with a viral epidemic, along with the USS Constellation.  While Captain Kirk and Commodore Matthew Decker strived to keep the planet running, Dr. McCoy and Dr. Lewis Rosenhaus struggled to find a cure, and eventually succeeded.  The cause of the virus was later revealed to be from a Malkus Artifact that was unleashed by Tomasina Laubenthal, chief of police on the colony.

He was stopped by Kirk, but not without the deaths of security guards Ethan Matthews and Edward Rayburn.  Both these individuals were later revealed to be Klingon spies.  (TOS episode: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and novel: Errand of Vengeance, #1: The Edge of the Sword).


 * Stardate Unknown: The Enterprise responds to a distress call from an Anti-Federation League colony in System 1324.

Klingon infiltrators already in place on the station wreak havoc while Captain Koloth's IKS D'K Tahg attacks the starbase.  Admiral Justman sacrifices himself to save the life of Lt. West and to buy Captain Kirk the time needed to defeat Klingon troops. With the D'K Tahg crippled by the starbase and Enterprise, the Klingon High Council disavows their actions and Koloth is forced to withdraw.  The USS Constellation, commanded by Commodore Decker, arrives to assist the Enterprise.

Believing an outside source to be responsible, Spock set up a fake court-martial and went undercover, where he was captured by the Tomarii who were responsible for the attack.  Spock was rescued by the repaired Enterprise, but that ship was again heavily damaged following the battle with Tomarii and Romulan warships.  As a result the Enterprise returned to Earth for heavy refitting.  (TOS novel: Black Fire).


 * Note: Black Fire was meant to lead into the refit of Enterprise in time for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, however later novels have made this novel invalid and part of another continuity.


 * Stardate 5998.6: The Enterprise crew are informed that their five-year mission is officially over.  Before heading to Earth, they proceeded to Starbase 10 to take Commander Willard Decker aboard.  Enroute to Earth, the ship is diverted to Talos IV by a Talosian illusion affecting the crew.  On arrival, they discover that Commander Kang and a Klingon task force had invaded Talos and had learned how to use the Talosians telepathic powers.  Captain Kirk and the Talosians are able to defeat the Klingons, and leave them at the mercy of Talosian illusions of peace and tranquility.  (TOS comic: "The Final Voyage").
