Virgil Walter Earp (18 July 1843 – 19 October 1905) was a human who lived on Earth during the 19th and 20th centuries. Earp was most notably a U.S. Marshal in the city of Tombstone, Arizona.
While in Tombstone, Earp was involved in the famous Gunfight at the OK Corral on October 26, 1881 with several "cowboys". Centuries later, the Melkot people recreated Earp and Tombstone to punish Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Doctor Leonard McCoy, and Engineer Montgomery Scott for trespassing on their planet. Kirk refused to kill the recreation of Earp, and impressed the Melkot, who invited the USS Enterprise to visit their planet. (TOS episode: "Spectre of the Gun", TOS novelization: The Last Gunfight)
