• Kirk in Enterprise Outfit
James Tiberius (“Jim”) Kirk, third captain of the United Federation of Planet’s Constitution-class starship Enterprise (NCC-1701) from 2264 to 2269, and later captain of starship Enterprise (NCC-1701A) from 2286 to 2293, graduated from Starfleet Academy in the year 2254. Born in Riverside, Iowa, Earth on March 22, 2233, their parents’ second son. His brother, George Samuel Kirk, died in the year 2267 with his wife Aurelan on the planet Deneva, but their son, Kirk’s nephew Peter, survived the planet’s parasitic invasion that killed his parents.
James Kirk never married, as his strongest passion was for his career and his command, ship and crew. He was renowned for many relationships with women, human and otherwise, and fathered a son with Dr Carol Marcus, although he was not aware of this fact until David, his son, was a mature adult. Little time was available for Kirk to enjoy this newfound father-son relationship, as David was killed by Klingons on the Genesis planet in 2285.
• Spock in Enterprise Outfit
Spock was born in 2230, in the city of Shi’Kahr on the planet Vulcan. His father is well-known Vulcan ambassador Sarek, his mother is Amanda Grayson, a human teacher. Serving as an outstanding Starfleet officer for decades and later as an ambassador, Spock was probably the most famous Vulcan-Human hybrid in history.
During his childhood Spock was often teased by other children for being “not fully-Vulcan”. He often seek his mother’s care and advise in those days. He had a pet Sehlat called I’Chaya. At the age of 7 Spock has taken the Kash’Wah ordeal in the desert. During this test of survival his life was saved by a mysterious cousin of his named Selek (who was, in fact his future self from 2269). Later that year he was mentally bonded with T’Pring who he was supposed to have married during his first and only recorded “Pon Farr”, a physiological mating urge that affects adult Vulcans approximately every 7 years.
• Original Spock
• Pike in Enterprise Outfit
Christopher Pike [Jeffrey Hunter] was the second captain of the USS Enterprise, a young Lt Spock’s first commanding officer. (Spock was Pike’s science but not his first officer, a post held instead by a Terran woman known as Number One, played by Majel Barrett). Pike captained Enterprise in the first pilot of the original Star Trek, ‘The Cage’. The recut pilot formed the basis of the series’ only two-parter, ‘The Menagerie’, where Spock faces court-martial for mutiny. | Although the Star Trek animated series established that the first commander of the Enterprise before Pike was Capt Robert April (at 75, Federation ambassador-at-large after a near-retirement as commodore), April was never mentioned in any of the five live-action Trek series.
• Sulu in Enterprise Outfit
George Takei recalled Gene Roddenberry wanted the character to represent all of Asia, which symbolized the peace of the Trek universe in spite of the numerous wars in the continent. Roddenberry did not want a nationally specific surname, so he looked at a map and saw the Sulu Sea. “He thought, ‘Ah, the waters of that sea touch all shores’,” the actor recalled, “and that’s how my character came to have the name Sulu.”
• Nero
Nero is a Romulan, the captain of the mining ship Narada. His wife was on the planet Romulus, expecting their first child, when a star near Romulus began to go supernova and threatened to destroy the planet. Spock agreed to save Romulus by dropping Red Matter into the star, creating a black hole which would consume the supernova. Before Spock could deploy the Red Matter, the supernova destroyed Romulus, but Spock proceeded with the plan and destroyed the star.
• Uhura in Cadet Outfit
Uhura (as played by Nichelle Nichols) is from the United States of Africa and speaks Swahili (Star Trek episode: “The Man Trap”). James Blish’s non-canon novels identify her as Bantu, as does Gene Roddenberry’s novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
• McCoy in Cadet Outfit
Leonard Horatio McCoy was born in 2227 in North America, Earth. His father was David McCoy. He graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in physiology in the late 2240s. During his university studies he briefly met Emony Dax. Eventually he became a Starfleet surgeon. In 2266 he was briefly stationed on planet Capella IV.
• Chekov in Cadet Outfit
Pavel Andreievich Chekov, (Cyrillic: ), played by Walter Koenig, is a Russian Starfleet officer in the fictional Star Trek universe.
• Scotty in Enterprise Outfit
Montgomery Scott was born in Scotland in 2222 and speaks with a thick Lowland Scottish accent. During the events of Star Trek: The Original Series Scotty holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander and serves as the Enterprise’s Chief Engineer, Chief of Security, and Second Officer.As an engineer, Scott retains a reputation as a “miracle worker”, with no known equal in the Star Trek universe. Throughout both the television and movie series, he is renowned for his technical skill, knowledge, determination and resolve. Scotty often acts as the solver of plot-critical situations, utilizing his expansive knowledge and ingenuity. His solutions are almost always creative and unconventional, dramatically effective, and crucial to the resolution of plot developments. The term ‘Scotty factor’ describes the practice of over-estimating how much time a project will require to complete by multiplying the actual estimate by a particular number. In strict terms it is a factor of four: the number cited by Kirk in the film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
