+ | [[Admiral]] '''Franklin Komack''' was a male [[Human]] [[Starfleet]] [[Flag Officer]] in the [[2260s]], sharing a surname with another Admiral Komack ([[James Komack]]). In late [[2266]], Komack was one of the four flag officers making up the [[court martial]] of [[Commodore]] [[Diego Reyes]] on board {{dis|Vanguard|station}}. Admiral Komack was the only member of the panel to have previously encountered material to do with Vanguard, and only in a very distant manner. He laughed on occasion at Reyes's dry wit during in the trial. ({{n|VAN|Open Secrets}}) |
| ⚫ | |||
| − | ==Early Career== |
||
| − | Early in his career, Komack served for a time at Starfleet Academy, overseeing the institution’s ethics review board, where he also was known as being unforgiving with regard to discipline, particularly if it involved cheating or other dishonorable behavior on the part of a cadet. ({{n|VAN|What Judgments Come}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Sector 9== |
||
| − | In [[2267]], Komack ordered the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}} to proceed to [[Omicron Ceti III]] and determine the fate of the [[colony]] that was established on the planet. When [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk]] reported that the colonists had survived, Komack ordered Kirk to evacuate them to [[Starbase 27]]. ({{e|TOS|This Side of Paradise}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few months later, Komack denied Captain Kirk's request to divert from [[Altair VI]] to [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]]. However, following a request from [[T'Pau]], Komack granted the request. ({{e|TOS|Amok Time}}). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Starfleet Command== |
||
| − | Before [[2268]] the admiral was transferred to the senior staff at [[Starfleet Headquarters]] on [[Earth]] from his previous posting as the head of the command element overseeing Sector 9. There Komack built a solid reputation as a no-nonsense officer who got results, and tolerated little in the way of deviations from established or accepted policies and procedures. ({{n|VAN|What Judgments Come}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | In early [[2268]], Komack ordered the ''Enterprise'' to planet [[NGC 667]], in order to retrieve [[Dr.]] [[Revati Jendra]], who was suspected of violating the [[Prime Directive]]. ({{ss|TOS|First, Do No Harm}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Also during that year, Komack would interfere with a sensitive issue on [[Starbase 47-Vanguard|Starbase Vanguard]], ordering its security chief [[Haniff Jackson]] to launch a black-ops rescue or assassination of [[Deigo Reyes]] from the [[Orion]] merchantman, the ''[[Omari-Ekon]]''. He gave Jackson three days to plan the op, which ultimately was unsuccessful. ({{n|VAN|What Judgments Come}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later that year, Komack ordered the ''Enterprise'' away from the [[starship]] ''[[Yonada]]'', when Captain Kirk was initially unable to move ''Yonada'' from its direct course for [[Daran V]]. ({{e|TOS|For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky}}). |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following [[first contact]] with the people of [[Elysia]], Komack ordered the {{USS|Lovell}} and the {{USS|T'Saura}} to find a safe passage into and out of the [[Delta Triangle]]. ({{eb|SCE|Where Time Stands Still}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Retirement== |
||
| − | In [[2293]], Komack spoke at Captain Kirk's memorial service in the grounds of [[Starfleet Academy]], and stated that his days as head of Sector 9 was fraught with challenges and filled with rewards, because Kirk reported to him. ({{n|TOS|sub=Crucible|The Fire and the Rose}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Alternate timelines== |
||
| − | In the [[Alternate reality (Nero, 2233)|alternate reality]] created by [[Nero (Romulan)|Nero]], Admiral Komack was among the high-ranking officers who presided over Lieutenant [[James T. Kirk (alternate reality)|James T. Kirk]]'s Starfleet Academy hearing for cheating during his Kobayashi Maru scenario in [[2258]]. Later, after Kirk took command of the {{USS|Enterprise|alternate reality NCC-1701}} and helped save Earth and Captain [[Christopher Pike (alternate reality)|Christopher Pike]] from Nero, Komack was present at Kirk's promotion to captain of the ''Enterprise''. ({{m|TOS|{{a|Star Trek (2009)|Star Trek}}}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | In another [[alternate timeline]], Komack was an admiral and the direct superior of Captain [[Christopher Pike]] of the {{pre|UESS|Enterprise}}. In [[2264]], he ordered the ''Enterprise'' to return to [[Earth]] from [[Vega colony]] immediately. Once on Earth Pike met Komack along with Admiral [[Garth of Izar|Garth]] and [[Prime Minister of United Earth|Prime Minister]] [[Carter Winston]] who ordered Pike to escort a mission to talk with the [[Interstellar Coalition]]. ({{n|Star Trek: Myriad Universes|A Less Perfect Union}}) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Background== |
||
| − | Actor {{ma|Byron Morrow}} played Admiral Komack (no first name given) in {{e|TOS|Amok Time}} and he also appeared as an admiral in "For the World is Hollow...". In the latter episode, the character's name was never spoken, but identified in the credits as "Admiral Westervliet". The {{n|TOS|sub=Crucible|The Fire and the Rose}} gives Komack's name as ''Westervliet Komack'' which was clearly an attempt on the part of [[author]], [[David R. George III]], to explain the apparent contradiction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, in ''Where Time Stands Still,'' Admiral Komack is given the first name ''Byron''. ''[[Open Secrets]]'' gives him the first name ''Franklin''. The [[2009]] [[movie]], ''[[Star Trek (2009)|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[What Judgments Come]]'' give Komack's first name as ''James''. [[Dayton Ward]], the author of all three novels has said that the first change was a mistake but the second was to conform to the name established in the movie. |
