Bounty (ship)

A ship commanded by James T. Kirk in an alternate 2293. (Star Trek: Early Voyages).

Future Tense: Yeoman Colt finds herself transported into an alternate future, chased by Starfleet security into the arms of a Jim Kirk. In this alternate future, Kirk was assigned to the Enterprise after Colt's disappearance and eventually quit Starfleet. Now he's a freighter captain with an exotic crew and Scotty as his engineer. To help Colt get back to her own time, Kirk must take his ship into Klingon space and meet General Chang (ST:VI TUC).

Past Imperfect: Kirk's freighter, the Bounty, is damaged. Pike and the Enterprise drive the Klingons away, but he isn't happy to see Kirk, and astonished to see Colt. Saavik discovers that Colt's temporal integrity is decaying and must be returned to her own timeline before she dies. Pike commits to following Kirk's plan and reenters Klingon territory. Captain Robbins, Pike's Number One, now in command of her own ship, is ordered to intercept and destroy the Enterprise. Chang returns, looking for an eye for an eye.

Now and Then: Arriving back at Algol to try and help Colt restore the timeline, the Enterprise is battered by a Klingon task force. Even with help from Excalibur, the Federation ships take a beating. Meanwhile, Kirk and his crew accompany Colt to the planet, with hope of returning her to the past.
