"Captain James T. Kirk: Psycho-File" was an original four-page Gold Key Comics story published in the omnibus The Enterprise Logs, Volume 1 in 1976. It was the first of four original Gold Key stories which appeared only in omnibus publications.

This story recounts various events from the early life of James T. Kirk.

Summary[]

Heroic actions by Kirk are noted at Xaraka XII, Planetary Fort 128, and at the Axanar Peace Mission, with a service appraisal being given as of stardate 28:3:17.

At age 12, Kirk and his mother are presented with a posthumous Supreme Medal of Honor for Colonel Benjamin Kirk. When James T. Kirk enters Starfleet Academy, Cadet Will Rogge thinks Kirk got a pass because of his war hero connection. Rogge jumps Kirk, but Kirk later denies the incident to duty officer Kivo to prevent Rogge from being expelled. Rogge later commends Kirk for his promotion to captain of the USS Enterprise.

Kirk first meets Spock and Montgomery Scott at a spaceport at Phobos Base. They drive a V3A-class nukemobile groundcar to the transporter rendezvous point, but the engine stalls. Kirk says the third diverter is probably faulty, but Scott is doubtful. Kirk mentions a recall warning issued against the part last week, which Scott missed because he had been sick. The vehicle is repaired, and Scott gains confidence in his new captain. Scott hand-molds a medal for Kirk out of a V3A-class diverter part, inscribed with a notation from the “Order of the Battered Oil Can.”

Kirk was to marry Doctor Janet Wallace, but both agree at the Moonbeam Club that neither would give up work for the other. A photograph taken at their dinner serves as a souvenir of their engagement.

Background[]

  • Kirk was reported to be 5' 11" or 180 cm and weighed 173 pounds or 78.5 kg.
  • Two Starfleet Academy cadet uniforms were shown. Cadets wore gray pants, black shirt with two yellow stripes on the arms. The duty officer uniform consisted of a dark blue shirt with orange armbands under a blue vest with matching cap.
  • Benjamin Kirk was treated as though he was James’ father, a war hero who died in 2245 when Kirk was 12. However, that would contradict later-established canon in TOS movie: Star Trek, in which Spock said the older Kirk had lived to see his son become captain of the Enterprise. It also contradicted several non-canon appearances by George Samuel Kirk, Sr. Benjamin Kirk might have been a father figure, godfather or grandfather.
  • Various non-canon stories told of Kirk's first meeting with Spock and/or Scott. Their first meetings in canon were seen in an alternate timeline in TOS movie: Star Trek.
