- Stardate 4385.3
- While visiting Theta Kiokis II, Melkots recreated Tombstone, Arizona as punishment for the trespassing Enterprise, casting a landing party as the Clantons just prior to their historic deaths at the O.K. Corral. Convinced they were in a simulation, Spock used a mind meld to provide Kirk, McCoy and Scott absolute conviction that they could not be harmed, and bullets passed harmlessly through them. Impressed, the Melkot permitted first contact. (TOS episode & Star Trek 3 novelization: Spectre of the Gun)
- Stardate 4372.5
- Forced into an arrange marriage to bring peace between Troyians and Elasians, Elaan reluctantly and petulantly boarded the Enterprise en route to Troyius. Her lead guard Kryton sabotaged the ship's dilithium, leaving the Enterprise vulnerable to a D7-class Klingon battlecruiser. Crude dilithium in her necklace provided enough warp power to fend off the attack, and as the ship reached Troyius, she accepted her obligations and beamed down. (TOS episode & Star Trek 7 novelization: Elaan of Troyius)
- Stardate 4556.7
- Asked to transport Elethian Queen Apathei from her homeworld to Alsand as part of peace negotiations, the Enterprise took aboard her entourage, which included a pet thirsk, actually a data-collecting organic machine. McCoy learned that Apathei was betraying the will of the majority of her people, collecting all that data for leverage. When mysterious vessels attack, Spock positively identifies the ships as Alsandit, exposing a conspiracy between the ship's captain and Apathei. Kirk suggested that Apathei be their queen, as agreed, or he would publicize their actions. (TOS - Star Trek: The Manga - Kakan ni Shinkou comic: "Scaean Gate")
- Stardate 4610.3
- Kosians used a long-distance transporter to abduct Kirk from the bridge, holding him for trial on Kos along with various offworlders, including Klingon Kafk, who had been on trial for six years. At Kirk's trial, the prosecutor said Kirk would be incarcerated and the Enterprise escorted back to Earth. Taking a chance, Kirk plead guilty. The court sentenced him to life in prison, but suspended the sentence, assigning him to the custody of his crew on permanent probation. (TOS - Star Trek: The Manga - Kakan ni Shinkou comic: "The Trial")
- Stardate 4823.2
- Ronald Tracey coerced Harry Mudd into infiltrating the starbase on Tau Delta IX and collecting vital data to sell to Koloth as part of a Klingon incursion into new Federation expansion zones. Mudd's body was altered with a vanity transporter into a duplicate of Kirk's, but Mudd made sure he was caught. The Enterprise diverted to the starbase, took custody of Mudd, and stopped the Klingon incursion. Unfortunately, Tracey did not save Mudd's molecular pattern, and he was stuck looking like Kirk. (TOS - New Visions comic: "Made Out of Mudd")
- Stardate 4826.2
- Deep Space Monitoring Station 18 picked up a message sent by Kirk 1,170 years ago. Investigating the source of the transmission, the Enterprise located millennia-old remains of the Enterprise on the surface of an irradiated planet, its inhabitants 40th generation descendants of the ship's crew. Knowing what caused the ship to crash while attempting to leave orbit in the past, Spock proposed a different maneuver this time, and the strategy worked, erasing the city and its inhabitants from history. Suddenly, rather than being near the galactic core, the ship was now a dozen light years from Earth, where it would have been had they not picked up the original message. (TOS - New Visions comic: "Time's Echo")
- Stardate 4842.6
- While visiting Amerind prior to an impending asteroid collision, Kirk accidentally fell inside an obelisk and was lost. The Enterprise failed to deflect the asteroid, and the ship spent two months trailing the asteroid at impulse. They returned in time to save an amnesiac Kirk, who'd been adopted by the local culture as their leader and married Miramanee. But when he couldn't figure out how to enter the obelisk, the people stoned him and his wife, killing her and their unborn child. Spock used a mind meld to recover Kirk's memory, and together they figured out how to enter the Preserver temple and activate its asteroid deflector, saving the planet. (TOS episode & Star Trek 7 novelization: The Paradise Syndrome)
- Stardate 4860.2
- While beaming down to Starbase 14, Kirk was transposed into an alternate timeline in which the Dhoraxi Empire replaced the Federation. Dhoraxi Ambassador Xahd created the timeline by triggering World War III in 1991. Kirk stole a Dhoraxi scout, traveled to Gateway and appealed to the Guardian of Forever for help. The Guardian sent Kirk to Gary Seven's office in New York City. Seven's Beta 5 computer detected a Dhoraxi scout ship en route to a major United States missile base in central Nevada. Kirk and Seven transported to a ghost town near the base and managed to stop the Dhoraxi. The Enterprise retrieved Kirk from Gateway. Later, Kirk met an aged Gary Seven on Andru 4/6 for a celebratory drink. (TOS - New Visions comic: "1971/4860.2")
- Stardate 4925.2
- Enterprise crew evacuated a threatened island on T'nufo. While taking shore leave on Tranquility VII, a Kirk android from Exo III took Kirk's place and attempted to put Roger Korby's plan into motion. (TOS novel: Double, Double)
- Stardate 4929.5
- The robot ALX-1 was beamed aboard the Enterprise for a seven-day field test during the trip to Starbase 10. En route, it witnessed its inventor Ursula Becker assault her former lover John Kyle, but because it was devoted to Becker, ALEX felt that it could not implicate her. Both were remanded to authorities on Starbase 10. (TOS - New Visions comic: "Robot")
- Stardate 4991.3
- During shore leave at Wrigley's Pleasure Planet, Kirk and McCoy were stunned to discover Andrea serving as a hostess. Wrigley had purchased 16 Andreas from Kirk's brother, with more on order. Video of the transaction revealed the "brother" to be Harry Mudd, still with Kirk's molecular structure. The Enterprise returned to Exo III, encountering other Andreas and Ruks. Spock deactivated the Exo III machines, breaking subspace links with robots sold offworld. McCoy told Mudd that a scientific breakthrough might be able to restore his original appearance. (TOS - New Visions comic: "The Survival Equation")
