Margaret Sinclair-Alexander (neé Margaret Alexander) was a Human female born in Jamaica on Earth in the early 23rd century.
Early Career
As a Lieutenant in Starfleet, Margaret Alexander (known familiarly as "Madge") served for one year aboard the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk in the 2260s. Her performance aboard the Enterprise was such that she earned a field promotion, and transfered to the USS Firenze to serve as its second officer.
Later, she was promoted to the rank of Commander, and was assigned as executive officer of the USS Freedom. She then was promoted to Captain and took command of the Freedom, a position she held until that ship was decommissioned. (TOS novel: The Star to Every Wandering)
As of 2285, she held the rank of captain, and commanded the Miranda-class USS Saratoga. (TOS movie: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
She was still commanding the Saratoga in 2289 when that ship was to bring Sarek to a Klingon-Federation peace conference. (ST novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire)
Admiralty
By 2293, Sinclair-Alexander had risen to the rank of Admiral, assigned to Starfleet Headquarters. That year, she persuaded Kirk to take part in the launch ceremonies for the new USS Enterprise-B. (TOS novel: The Star to Every Wandering)
After Kirk was apparently killed aboard that vessel, she spoke his memorial service in the grounds of Starfleet Academy, where she recalled the time she spent serving with Kirk and all she had learned from him. (TOS novel: The Fire and the Rose)
By 2311, she had risen to the position of Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet. That year, she approved Captain John Harriman's plan to capture the Romulan flagship Tomed, and also recruited both Drysi Gravenor and Los Tirasol Mentir to assist with the mission. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)
Personal
Margaret Alexander met Cynthia Sinclair sometime after leaving command of the Saratoga. The two were married in 2292, and Alexander changed her surname to Sinclair-Alexander. (TOS novel: The Star to Every Wandering)
- The captain of the Saratoga was unnamed in the film. The surname "Alexander" was established in the novelization. Serpents author David R. George III added her first and married names, in tribute to the actress who played the role, Madge Sinclair.
