Continuing voyages of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

This timeline is dedicated to the voyages of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) between 2273 and 2285, covering the period of the second five-year mission under James T. Kirk, the Belle Terre Expedition, and the years the Enterprise spent as a training vessel for Starfleet Academy.

2273[]

Stardate 7412.4 (August 2273): A massive cloud which destroyed three Klingon cruisers was heading directly for Earth. James T. Kirk assumed command of the refit USS Enterprise over Captain Willard Decker and launched the ship as quickly as possible. Commander Spock arrived from Vulcan and assisted Montgomery Scott with the engines. The Enterprise entered the mysterious cloud. Inside was a vessel 78 kilometers long which called itself V'Ger. Its probe inspected the bridge, killing a security officer and Lieutenant Ilia. The probe returned, this time in the form of an android Ilia, redesigned to more easily investigate the human infestation aboard the ship. Concerned with their lack of information, Spock left the ship in a thruster suit and mind melded with V'Ger. When awakened in sickbay, Spock had an epiphany. V'Ger was a vast machine intelligence, as admirably logical as Spock had hoped to become. Yet without a soul or personality, V'Ger wandered without purpose or hope, unable to understand even a simple feeling. Decker and the Ilia-probe merged with V'Ger, allowing the entity to ascend to a higher plane of existence. Rather than return to Earth, Kirk accepted Scott's suggestion that the ship needed a proper shakedown cruise and ordered the ship to go "Out there. Thataway." (TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: The Motion Picture)

In an alternate series of events aboard the Jefferies-class starship USS Enterprise, Lieutenant Xon joined the crew as science officer instead of Spock. Decker and Ilia survived the encounter with V'Ger and continued to serve aboard the ship. (Phase II episode: "In Thy Image")

Spock and Christine Chapel met for the first time since the end of the first five-year mission. (TOS comic: "Spock: Reflections, Issue 2")

Enterprise vs 3 Klingons — *Enterprise* vs. Klingons

Stardate 7413.2-7414.1: The Enterprise's shakedown cruise was interrupted when a squadron of Klingon battlecruisers attempted to seize the refit starship. Kirk disabled the lead vessel by channeling all phaser power through the engines, delivering a massive blow that disabled both the battlecruiser and the Enterprise. Kirk's bluff that this was a viable weapon convinced the Klingons to retreat. (TOS comic: "Renewal")

The Enterprise retraced V'Ger's journey to catalog the damage it caused. Near Klingon territory, the Enterprise encountered a wrecked Dreadnought class being investigated by Commander T'Cel and her the Romulan Bird-of-prey ChR Phoenix. The wreck was assessed as being an immense weapon of mass destruction that was destroyed by the enigmatic "critters". T'Cel and Kirk agreed to each collect schematics for the weapon, then send a copy to the Klingon Empire to establish a balance of power. (TOS comic: "Debt of Honor")

In an alternate series of events, the Enterprise returned to drydock to finish its refit before commencing its second five-year mission. The crew was granted a two-week shore leave. (TOS episode: "Shadow of the Machine")

Stardate 7435.5: As Kirk, Spock, and McCoy coped with personal fallout from the V'Ger encounter. Kirk realized his headstrong nature got the better of him in ousting Decker. Spock faced his own demons in integrating his long-suppressed emotions with logic. Leonard McCoy found himself outdated and unable to match Dr. Chapel's widespread knowledge of the Enterprise's diverse new crew. He also dreaded reuniting with Natira when she asked for help. Freed of the totalitarian rule of the Oracle, the machine-god that controlled Yonada, the Fabrini were building a new civilization on Daran IV. Traditionalists were warily allied under Rishala—the pacifistic new high priestess—on one side, and Dovraku—a terrorist leader who saw V'Ger's ascendance as a sign that the Oracle would soon be reborn—on the other. (TOS novel: Ex Machina)

September 2273: In an alternate series of events, one month after the V'Ger incident, the Enterprise departed on a seven-and-a-half-year survey mission to the Aquarius Formation. (TOS novel: Provenance of Shadows)

Stardate 5960.2: The Enterprise was due to visit Sherman's Planet. Before it arrived, an earthquake devastated a Federation agricultural outpost there. The IKS Klolode II commanded by Captain Kang arrived first and rescued its only survivor, Jean Czerny. The Enterprise pursued and confronted Kang in Klingon territory. Invoking a tradition in which Czerny belonged to him, Kang refused to hand her over and ordered the Enterprise out of Klingon space. The Enterprise returned to Sherman's Planet and began repairs to the outpost. They picked up a distress call from the freighter SS Deirdre, and were forced to leave an engineering team and relief crew on the surface while responding to the emergency. (TOS novel: Pawns and Symbols, Chapters 1-4)

Stardate 7416.2: The Enterprise returned to Earth following its shakedown cruise. Admiral Fitzpatrick gave the crew their first new assignment, transporting Raytag M'Gora, an escaped Normedian prisoner who had been certified insane, and Federation Ambassador R'Kgg to Thallus, the planet from which Raytag escaped. En route, strange manifestations appeared, including a creature claiming to be Dracula, who killed R'Kgg by puncturing his neck. (TOS comic: "The Haunting of Thallus!")

Enterprise and the haunted house — *Enterprise* at the haunted house.

Stardate 7417.4: The ship was diverted from course to deliver Raytag to a waiting prison satellite, but the message had been a Klingon ruse. The Enterprise approached what appeared to be a haunted house floating in space, where a landing party found the Frankenstein monster strangling a young woman. Projections were the result of a young film archivist with a Klingon thought-enhancer. In league with the Klingons, Raytag was killed by an overload of psionic pain which burned out his receiver and reflected the signals back to the Klingon ship. The young film archivist, the Klingon thought-enhancer, and Raytag's body were delivered to Starbase 16. (TOS comic: "The Haunting of the Enterprise!")

Stardate 7420.1: In orbit of Yannid VI, Ambassador Phral would be taken to a treaty signing to admit his planet to the Federation. But Phral materialized with a dagger in his back. McCoy's autopsy found that Phral had been dead for at least ten minutes prior to having been beamed up, spurring an investigation on the surface. (TOS comic: "The Enterprise Murder Case!")

Stardate 3708.2: With a cloud of deadly Vega radiation approaching Andrea IV, the crew of the Enterprise had 11 hours to rescue a small group of inhabitants. Upon beaming down, however, Kirk, Spock and McCoy were shocked to discover giant statues of themselves at the settlement. The Andreans were certain the landing party would save them, yet refused to evacuate. Under the statues, Spock engaged equipment which dispersed the Vega cloud using solar energy collected over eons. Spock realized that evolved Andreans living underground as energy beings were temporally transcendental, experiencing all times at once. As a result, Andreans were able to build the statues and solar collectors centuries ago. (TOS comic: "Tomorrow or Yesterday")

War-in-Space-debris — Debris drawn in by intense gravity threatened the *Enterprise*.

En route to Omega IX, the Enterprise was trapped by an experimental Klingon gravitational field weapon. Scott managed to destroy it with antimatter flushed from the warp engines, and the ship resumed course. (TOS comic: "War in Space")

McD-Video-2 — Capsule enveloping the *Enterprise*.

A capsule mysteriously formed around the Enterprise. It deflected an incoming meteor, then dematerialized as unexpectedly as it appeared. (TOS - Star Trek Video Communicator comic: "A Pill Swallows the Enterprise")

While beaming Nyota Uhura to the planet Turages, transporter sabotage sent her billions of years into the past, to the far future, and even to Yankee Stadium in the year 1940 before Spock recovered her. (TOS - Star Trek Video Communicator comic: "Time. And Time. And Time Again.")

Stardate 20:18:4: On Moonsek, a landing party discovered and freed an imprisoned hero. (TOS - Star Trek Video Communicator comic: "Votec's Freedom")

At subplanet 897-JOJ, McCoy was abducted. Spock concocted a rescue plan and brought McCoy back aboard a shuttlecraft. (TOS - Star Trek Video Communicator comic: "Starlight, Starfright")

In an alternate series of events, a cloaked Romulan scout ship crashed through the Enterprise hull into the recreation deck and wiped out the ship's internal sensors. Two Romulan officers survived impact and were brought to sickbay, where they reported that a monster from their ship had stalked the Enterprise and needed to be destroyed. Through a mind meld, Xon learned that the creature was a Tengku-mal, and members of its race were being forcibly bred as weapons by the Romulans. Kirk granted it asylum and confiscated the scout. The two Romulans committed suicide. (TOS comic: "The Fear")

Stardate 7489.6: A rebel Vulcan scientist named T'Uerell captured the research station which was being used by Doctor Bendes Kettaract to secretly develop the Omega molecule. The Enterprise led a task force into the Lantaru sector to rescue Kettaract. After investigating many odd energy readings, the fleet retook outposts captured by strange cybernetic creatures that assimilated Klingon vessels. (ST video game: Legacy mission: At the Gates)

Stardate 7492.1: The fleet approached T'Uerell's Seleya near the Kettaract research station. Dampening stations around Kettaract first had to be destroyed, and several ships were lost in the resulting conflict. The task force thwarted T'Uerell's plan to conquer the Federation, but she detonated the Omega molecule, rupturing subspace in a three light year radius. Kirk was disappointed that T'Uerell escaped and asked Starfleet to develop the Omega Directive. (ST video game: Legacy mission: Omega)

Phasered zombie — The colonist takes phaser fire.

Stardate 7493.5: While the Enterprise resupplied for five days at Starbase 37, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and three security officers traveled to the colony world Calibus VII aboard the shuttle Conrad, where McCoy would be honored for recent efforts in curing a virus. But after they landed in the colony's "town square" they encountered animated corpses. As they took cover in a building, McCoy realized that the creatures were the colonists. The security officers became infected, and remotely activated the shuttle launch sequence. Kirk, Spock and McCoy destroyed the shuttle, stranding themselves on the planet. (TOS - Infestation comic: "Issue 1")

Kirk, Spock, and McCoy searched a facility for clues to the infection, and discovered Thirty-Seven, an AI robot created by Robert Williams, part of a failed attempt to infuse human DNA into robot brains. During his experimentation, a mysterious woman named Britt arrived and seemed to put Williams under her spell. The robots they created spread an infection throughout the colony's population but left Britt unaffected. McCoy found Britt's data and reverse-engineered the virus, manufacturing vats full of an antigen. Britt arrived to stop them, but after a battle, she fell into a vat of the antidote and appeared to dissolve. Rockets dissipated the antidote throughout the atmosphere. It didn't reverse all of the physical effects of the virus, but otherwise restored the colonists and security officers. Kirk declared General Order 7, to quarantine the planet. (TOS - Infestation comic: "Issue 2")

In an alternate series of events, a battle with a Klingon ship damaged the transporter and exposed Kirk and Chekov to dangerous radiation. Scott risked beaming them with a medical team to Earth for emergency treatment. Everyone arrived except Kirk, who rematerialized in a transparent state near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on 6 December 1941. Xon and Scott recreated the transporter malfunction and successfully beamed McCoy and Decker to within two kilometers of Kirk, and they rescued him just as bombs begin falling. (Phase II episode: "Tomorrow and the Stars")

A sacred object disappeared when an Enterprise shuttle dropped off Manlikt's foreign minister, threatening peace talks with the Breet, who were suspected of the theft. The object was an egg innocently picked up by Yeoman Myra Kart. However, it hatched into Cassandra, a cuddlesome creature which said things that could be heard a few minutes in the future. Once discovered aboard the ship, the minister agreed to retrieve it. When three representatives from his office signaled, they were beamed up. Kart accidentally hit intruder systems, trapping the representatives and spraying them with water jets, exposing them as Breet spies. (Phase II episode: "Cassandra")

The Enterprise discovered Project Long Chance, a sleeper ship launched from Earth in 2004. Unfortunately, Scott, Hikaru Sulu, and Decker found only one passenger still alive in stasis. When Decker touched a console, the three officers collapsed into directed dreaming controlled by the ship's main computer. In the dreams, the officers met ship's engineer Deborah McClintock in 16th century Scotland, but events led to their being captured and tried for witchcraft. As they were about to be executed, the officers focused on their 2270s lives and were able to break out of the dream. McClintock thought that the 23rd century was so far outside her life experience that it may as well be another dream, and faded away. (Phase II episode: "Practice in Waking")

The Enterprise picked up a distress signal from the USS Intrepid in sector 019. The signal then disappeared, followed immediately by a direct order for Kirk to report to Starbase 7. Once there, Commodore Hunter initiated a program of psychological testing for the crew, and explained that the faked distress signal was part of it. Some of the tests made Kirk suspicious about what might really be happening. In the subsequent investigation, Hunter and his associate confessed to be inhabitants of sector 019, pretending to be Starfleet personnel in order to test whether human violence was a threat to their race. Kirk recommended that Starfleet stay out of the sector. (Phase II episode: "Deadlock")

The Enterprise encountered a derelict spacecraft orbiting a dead planet. Decker, McCoy, and Ilia took a shuttle to investigate the vessel, finding a uniformed crewman stabbed by a spear. Records showed orbiting satellites released radiation that degraded the crew's minds to a pre-civilized state. Similar exposure de-evolved the Enterprise crew to feral cavemen. Decker, McCoy and Ilia returned to the Enterprise to find a remedy while avoiding a ship full of savages. McCoy found no antidote, but Decker suggested reversing the frequency of the radiation. Decker retrieved a satellite, was able to reprogram it, and returned the crew to normal. (Phase II episode: "Savage Syndrome")

While charting the Hyades Cluster, the starship USS St. Louis was compelled to crash on Grokh. While searching for the lost ship, crew from the Enterprise were subject to illusions created by the Grokhoor civilization, finding a lagoon and even San Francisco's Mariner's Park on the planet's surface. (Phase II episode: "Are Unheard Melodies Sweet?")

The Enterprise discovered IKS Niobe adrift and rescued a survivor, the charismatic Robert Standish, who went by "Lord Bobby". He claimed to be an earl from 1900s England kidnapped by Klingons and kept periodically in stasis. Investigation revealed flaws in Standish's claims, and tests in sickbay eventually exposed him as a liar. In frustration, Standish demanded that Kirk take him to the 19th century, and when Kirk didn't immediately comply, Standish primed a bomb on the Klingon ship strong enough that it would also destroy the Enterprise. Scott disarmed the bomb with seconds to spare, and Standish accepted Kirk's offer to be returned alone to the Klingon ship. (Phase II episode: "Lord Bobby's Obsession")

The Enterprise was dragged into a pseudospace with gravitationally warped reality that acted to form a group consciousness among the crew. Xon and Decker discovered a glowing orb containing the All, disembodied aliens with a hive mind who had been trapped there for six billion years. The aliens intended to overtake the bodies of the Enterprise crew and use them to spread their hive mind into all intelligent life in the galaxy. Scott cut off the orb's power source, snapping the ship back into space and returning the crew to normal. The All was now powerless, but as its threat remained, Kirk resolved to send the orb into the interstellar void. (Phase II episode: "To Attain the All")

The Enterprise rescued an injured pilot from a disabled spacecraft orbiting Shadir. The crew were surprised to discover that pilot was actually an android avatar. A war was fought through similar avatars, leaving the surface war-torn and abandoned, its civilization residing underground. A landing party inadvertently beamed into a battle and retreated, but was ambushed and captured by members of one faction. Eventually the crew were able to escape and return to the ship. Yra returned to join a group of rebels aiming to return their society to peace. (Phase II episode: "The War to End All Wars")

Stardate 7493.5-7494.4: A mysterious radio signal lead the Enterprise to a 900-year-old shipwreck on the Toltan Moon, automated and artificial. The landing party rescued and revived two aliens who had been in suspended animation. But the Enterprise was caught by a powerful tractor beam, and escaping cracked the ship's dilithium and rendered the ship nearly inoperable. (TOS comic: "Called Home")

Stardate 7495.3-7505.0: At impulse, the ship traveled for six days to Forma VI, site of a depleted mine which the crew hoped might have enough residual or hidden dilithium aboard to repair the engines. But Klingon Captain Kodrash of IKS Kandar also seemed interested in acquiring the crystals. His landing party followed Kirk's party into the mine, but neither group was able to find dilithium. Fortunately, Sulu discovered an old, crashed Klingon cruiser on the surface with dilithium aboard. (TOS comic: "Dilithium Dilemma")

Stardate 6714.3: En route to meet the Eebrix of Pelham V, the Enterprise was waylaid by a group of fearful isolationists who subjected the crew to various illusions. The isolationists perceived the Eebrix as a mortal threat, and wanted to prevent them from allying with the Federation. (TOS comic: "Chekov's Choice")

Stardate 7523.5: The Enterprise was transporting to Starbase 14 a critically ill agricultural engineer who required a heart transplant. In the Agena system, the Enterprise was held in stasis and Spock taken by a pair of alien craft. Searching for Spock on Agena IV, the landing party discovered a struggle between organics and machines. Machs' records showed that the Orgs were descendants of Earth refugees from the Eugenics Wars, and the Machs were their robots' descendants. McCoy implanted a Mach-designed artificial heart in the engineer, who intended to stay on the planet and teach the Orgs hydroponic techniques. (TOS comic: "The Expansionist Syndrome")

McCoy was abducted.

Stardate 7537.2-7540.2: McCoy's ex-wife and new husband conspired to steal the doctor's patents. They triggered an outbreak of Rigellian fever at a fuel depot on Tarsus II to get McCoy away from the ship, then kidnapped him. Anton Zauber then surgically altered his appearance to become identical to McCoy and took his place aboard the ship. But the disgraced duplicate behaved differently enough from McCoy to raise suspicions in Kirk, Spock and Chapel. (TOS comic: "The Real McCoy")

LA4-Facing-off — Enterprise v. IKS *Rakor*.

Stardate 7541.1-7542.5: While in orbit of Telos, Kirk granted sanctuary to Klingon fugitives Morg and Chetar, who'd spoken out against their government and been sentenced to death. Kirk prepared to take them to the nearest starbase, where they could make a formal request for asylum, when the K't'inga-class Klingon battlecruiser IKS Rakor arrived. Captain Tunzos had been ordered to take the criminals back. (TOS comic: "Double Bluff")

LA5-Ship-carving — Ancient starship carving.

Starbase 15 alerted Kirk that Abaris would collide with another planet in three days. The Enterprise raced to rescue archeologists on the planet. But when a transporter mishap displaced the landing party, Spock, Sulu, and Greywolf were forced to search for them and the archeologists through an underground maze. After everyone had been found, the archeologists showed the Enterprise crew an odd artifact: a 5,000 year-old carving of a starship. (TOS comic: "Aberration on Abaris")

Kepler wrecked — Hester in Endeavor's shuttle

Stardate 7641.8: En route to R&R on Starbase 8, the Enterprise discovered USS Endeavor adrift in the Theta Eridani system. Endeavor's fate had baffled Starfleet for 22 years. The crew were dead, and her logs recorded having picked up a distress call from a Janet Hester on the planetoid Mycena. "Janet Hester" was the name of Lieutenant Karen Hester-Jones' great-grandmother, thought to have died at age 36. But Endeavor had beamed up an 89 year old Hester, and afterward the crew went berserk and killed each other. Investigating, the older Hester was found dead in a crashed shuttle on the surface of Mycena. McCoy discovered an early-model transporter and research facility. Madness began to spread on the Enterprise, which turned out to be a form of possession. Hester's six colleagues had been atomically dispersed, but their combined consciousness lived on as electrical impulses in space. The consciousness thought Karen Hester-Jones was Hester, whom they hated. They were directed to Dr. Hester's body in the shuttle. When the beings swarmed into the vessel, Kirk and Sulu blew it up. (TOS comic: "Experiment in Vengeance!")

Stardate 7673.6: Barak VII in the Thorian-V star system had a unique magnetic field which blocked all communications. McCoy and Spock took a shuttle to explore the planet, but engine filters became clogged with magnetic dust, forcing a hard landing. A young woman about to be killed as a human sacrifice escaped and ran to them. Spock and McCoy stunned pursuing native humanoids, but their phasers became clogged. McCoy and the girl escaped, but Spock was captured. Spock was kept as a slave to work on a mountain being sculpted into a monument of ruler Ragnok. Meanwhile, McCoy and the woman met up with her brother, K'Barrgh, and his followers. Although torn over his Prime Directive obligations, McCoy showed K'Barrgh's people how to make and use bows and arrows, which they used to overthrow Ragnok. K'Barrgh took over, declaring that the mountain would be sculpted into a likeness of himself instead. His followers prepared to sacrifice Ragnok's wife. Montgomery Scott succeeded in adding damper screens to a rescue shuttle, and Kirk was able to retrieve Spock and McCoy. (TOS comic: "Domain of the Dragon God!")

Shuttlecraft Halley became severely damaged within the Hohweyn system while ferrying James T. Kirk, Scotty, Sulu, and Pavel Chekov back to the Enterprise, with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft, or restoring communications. The shuttle crew managed to signal Spock aboard the Enterprise in order to be rescued. (TOS novel: The Kobayashi Maru)

A battle between the Enterprise and the Klingon battlecruiser Ghargh was stopped by a mysterious and powerful alien being named Weyland, ruler of the planet Cragon V and a member of "a continuum of beings" who observed various universes. He punished three Enterprise crewmembers by displacing them in time. He transported Sulu to Japan in 1600, Montgomery Scott to Scotland in 1746, and Chekov to Russia in 1942. He also rendered the engines of the Enterprise and the Ghargh inoperative, causing their orbits to begin to decay. Pleasantly surprised by the honorable actions of Sulu, Scott and Chekov in their respective pasts, and by the willingness of Kirk and the Klingon commander to form an alliance, Weyland eventually returned the three Starfleet officers to the Enterprise and restored control to the two ships. (TOS novel: Home Is the Hunter)

LochNessMonsterMarvelTOS11 — Illusionary attack.

Stardate 7935.6: The Enterprise evacuated psychiatrist Carl Wentworth and his patients from Andronicus, where his clinic was threatened by radiation poisoning. Wentworth's assistant, Andrea Manning, had a history with Scotty. En route to the Starbase 28 planet, a bizarre apparition appeared in engineering and left Scotty in a coma. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Chapel overheard Wentworth reveal that he was using Andronican mind-control techniques, while Andrea was turning energy into matter to make imaginary things real, taking revenge on Scotty by actualizing his subconscious memories of Scottish folklore. (TOS comic: "... Like a Woman Scorned!")

Stardate 8036.2: With Spock taking a leave of absence to attend a conference, Kirk's old friend Patrick Brady was temporarily assigned to the ship as acting first officer while Spock's Deltan protégé Lieutenant Tenaida was made acting science officer. The Enterprise had been assigned to transport both a Federation negotiating team and a delegation from the Kaldorni. The Kaldorni and another race, the Beystohnai, laid claim to Yagra IV and the Federation was to negotiate between them. En route, murders and sabotage unfolded, the work of Srrawll Ktenten, a feline shape-shifter. (TOS novel: Enemy Unseen)

Stardate 6100.0: After patrolling a sector near the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Enterprise located a dead Romulan ship. The crew found a shuttle and rescued the ship's injured navigator, Reena Tertullian, on nearby Persephone II, but not before she programmed a probe missile to place a bomb onto the Enterprise's hull. She and Chekov became friends, but she could not disarm the weapon in a way that would keep her from being executed later by her own people. McCoy made it appear she was tortured and Spock used a mind meld to make it appear that certain memories had been erased. She then aided Chekov in disarming it. Subsequent investigation found that her ship had been sabotaged by a Klingon device. Spock tool Tertullian to Organia aboard a shuttle while the Enterprise picked up personnel at Starbase 10 to transport to Sherman's Planet. (TOS novel: Pawns and Symbols, Chapters 5-7)

The Enterprise was sent to Rakatan to resolve a dispute between rival mining concerns of the Federation and Elas, but a stratovolcano's eruption threatened to kill everyone on the surface. (TOS novel: Firestorm)

2274[]

Stardate 7508.6, January 2274: The Enterprise brought Raya elMora from Mestiko to Kazar. Kirk showed her a desert region Kazarites reserved as a resettlement site for Payav refugees. (TOS - Mere Anarchy eBook: The Darkness Drops Again, Part One)

Ent1701 TheMoreThings — The *Enterprise* in 2274.

Spock and Christine Chapel must save a seriously ill Audrid Dax from attackers. (TOS eBook: The More Things Change)

LA6-drydock-venture — *Enterprise* and USS *Venture* at the Hus-24 drydock in orbit of Hus-24.

Six months after her refit, the Enterprise put in for biannual maintenance duty at the Hus-24 drydock in orbit of Hus-24, where the crew took shore leave along with the crew of visiting sister ship USS Venture. After repairs were complete, however, Husians abducted the crews of both ships, putting the men to work in a mine and the women to harvest grain. The men escaped by hiding within a maglev train while the women set fire to the fields. After a brutal phaser fight that disintegrated several crewmembers, the Husians were arrested. (TOS comic: "Husian Gambit")

Stardate 7521.4: While Spock took time off on Vulcan to acclimate his ward Saavik with Sarek and Amanda Grayson, The Enterprise orbited an isolated class M planet on the galactic frontier facing an extinction-level crisis. To the crew's surprise, psychokinesis by a herd of native animals deflected the approaching 20-mile long asteroid. (TOS - Untold Voyages comic: "Worlds Collide")

Stardate 7583.5, June 2274: The Enterprise returned to the region where Miri's homeworld had been brought into the prime reality via a subspace anomaly, this time discovering a Vedala planetoid there. The Enterprise then transitioned into the Onlies' alternate timeline, discovering that Vulcans there were a military power at war with a Klingon/Andorian alliance. The Enterprise was caught in the crossfire before Kirk allied himself with the Vulcans. Eventually the Enterprise found its way home. (DTI novel: Forgotten History, Chapters 7-11)

LA9-Epsilon-Anubis-derelict2 — The Epsilon Anubis derelict.

Stardate 7692.7: While charting the Epsilon Anubis binary star system, the Enterprise discovered two inhabited starships, one a massive, fusion-powered derelict. The inhabitants faced certain death from neutron star radiation, so Kirk sent a team to repair the large ship's engines. Having been trapped for centuries, however, the derelict had become a generation ship, its crew's descendants acting like tribal warriors, and they captured the landing party. After helping them establish communications with the telepathy Eloksi from the second starship, eventually one engine was restarted, and with help from the Eloksi, the derelict was towed to safety. (TOS comic: "The Savage Within")

Stardate 7708.3: The Enterprise crew brought humanitarian aid and a plague cure to Sarsithia near the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone. Having recently ended 450 years of war, Sarsith faced postwar economic collapse and famine. General Onoth tried to incite a new war by sending an armada to attack Kolak's K't'inga-class Klingon battlecruiser at the border. Damaged and vulnerable, Kolak's ship retreated and called for reinforcements to assault Sarsithia. The Enterprise pursued in hopes of negotiating a truce. (TOS comic: "Quarantine")

*Enterprise* in the Vulpecula 12 system.

Stardate 7717.5: Kolak disabled the pursuing Enterprise with an exploding magnesium-laden fragment of Vulpecula 12 IV, but later the battlecruiser was found wrecked and lifeless. Kolak and some of his crew survived on Iskonia, modified with cybernetic prosthetics by robots under the control of the Omnimind, a machine intelligence intent on converting humanoid life into cyborgs. An Enterprise landing party was trapped, but escaped with the aid of rebel Iskonians hoping to stop the Omnimind. Eventually the AI was shut down, freeing the planet's inhabitants. (TOS comic: "Restructuring Is Futile")

LA12-Hamstringer-engaged — Disabled by *Giant Killer*.

LA12-Kzinti-fighters — Attacked by Kzinti fighters at Mimit.

Stardate 7731.1: Starfleet diverted the Enterprise to pick up a large number of Bebebebeque at Starbase 18 to investigate their lost colony on Mimit. En route, the Kzinti warship Giant Killer attacked, disabling the starship's shields. Kirk was forced to warp away from the battle. At Mimit, somewhat repaired, the starship engaged Kzinti fighters that shot down a SW7-class shuttle. The shuttle crew sneaked into the outpost, finding Kzinti had taken over and forced the colonists to build fighters and weapons. As Giant Killer arrived to join the space battle, the outpost was overrun by a herd of native beasts. Beasts Kirk beamed to Giant Killer quickly wrecked the warship. After winning the battle, Enterprise transported the colonists to an uninhabited world, then returned to Starfleet Command Headquarters. (TOS comic: "The Wristwatch Plantation")

LA13-Scotty-racing — Racing with the USS *Bold Venture*.

Stardate 7760.5: At Starfleet HQ, Admiral Heihachiro Nogura's grandson organized a rally-style starship race: Enterprise vs. five other starships, including USS Rim Explorer and USS Bold Venture. Upon reaching a checkpoint during the race, Enterprise was assigned a task on Thoris Amarnis IV in a pirate sector. Pirates destroyed Rim Explorer, then tried to capture the Enterprise and sell it to the Klingons, but eventually the pirate leader was arrested. Venture and Enterprise then held their own private race, with Enterprise crossing the finish line just ahead of Bold Venture. (TOS comic: "The Nogura Regatta")

LA7-Opener — Arriving at Zeta-Atez in the Gates of Scylla Confederation.

Stardate 7988.3: At Zeta-Atez, the Enterprise investigated why new Imperator Dykranus threatened to secede from the Federation while at the same time planning a celebration for being a longtime member. Rather than schizophrenia, his contradictory behavior was discovered to be due to polycephaly. An accident led to Leonard McCoy having to perform a dichotomectomy surgery to save Dykranus's life. (TOS comic: "Heads of State")

LA8-Argus-4-creature — Witnessing the birth of a cosmozoan.

After a layover at Starbase 22 to recalibrate the ship's inertial platform, the Enterprise investigated seismic disturbances at the thermium mining colony on Argus IV, now owned by Harry Mudd. Violent earthquakes prompted an evacuation, and the planet cracked open like an egg to hatch a cosmozoan entity. Mudd sold the planet back to miner Max Vargas, not realizing that planetary debris would be easier to mine. (TOS comic: "It's a Living")

TOS-White-hole — Traversing a white hole.

Stardate 8180.7: Enterprise crew prepared the USS Icarus for a millennium-long mission outside the galaxy under the control of Captain Kadan, Janice Rand, and a non-corporeal crew. As Icarus commenced its mission, the Enterprise visited Cytherius in the Duran system. Kirk was forced to cancel his meeting with the Cytherian governor upon learning that the Phaetonians aboard Icarus had gone insane while inside the galactic barrier. Enterprise pursued Icarus through a white hole in the Ilyria system and narrowly prevented Icarus from crashing on Phaeton. The Phaetonians were taken to Deep Space Station K-12 for treatment.

Stardate 8264.5: While the Enterprise orbited Hephaestus in the Organian Treaty Zone, Commander Kagg and officers from his IKS Kluggoth began terrorizing the Hephaestans, demonstrating that they were not naturally sapient. By disabling Symbiont implants that boost intelligence, Klingons were technically removing intelligent life so that the Organian Peace Treaty would no longer apply to Hephaestus. Kluggoth snared the Enterprise with a stasis-field weapon while Klingons placed bombs in the Symbiont manufacturing center, but Kagg was caught in the explosion when the bombs blew. Klingons withdrew their claim to Hephaestus as Enterprise personnel helped rebuild the machinery. (TOS comic: "All the Infinite Ways")

Stardate 8305.3: While surveying Zeta Reticuli II two days prior to an impending meteor shower, a landing party investigated ancient pyramids, uncovering a statue of Egyptian god Khnum and hundreds of mummies kept in stasis for 10,000 years. Having detected intruders, machinery reanimated the natives, took control of Kirk's mind, and fired a ray to shrink the hull of the Enterprise. Eventually the Enterprise was able to destroy the meteoroids with photon torpedoes, giving personnel time to evacuate surviving natives to another planet. (TOS comic: "We Are Dying, Egypt, Dying!")

Stardate 8822.5: The Enterprise departed Starbase 9 with a minimal crew on a classified mission to rescue Tak Markessan on the prison planet Miaplacidus V.

Solopziz world-ship — Approaching *Solopziz*.

When the Enterprise approached the immense world-ship Solopziz, probes noted the friendship between Kirk and Spock. Through telepathy, the caretaker robot Sustainer exposed Kirk and Spock to circumstances that forced them to repeatedly sacrifice their lives for each other and for the Enterprise. Sustainer recorded their psyches during these experiences, then imbued that knowledge into the minds of Lezze-Eeserk held in stasis chambers aboard the world-ship, as a way of teaching them selflessness. (TOS comic: "A Thousand Deaths")

The Enterprise visited Nordstral, where Nordstral Pharmaceuticals harvested plankton-like magnetic biota. Unusual outbreaks of insanity amongst the staff were found to be caused by magnetic disturbances caused by over-harvesting the biota. The Enterprise cloned replacement magnetic biota and re-introduced it into the ecosystem to stabilize it. (TOS comic: "Ice Trap")

The Enterprise investigated waves of violence on Helva, found to be part of a larger, cosmic experiment. (TOS comic: "The Prometheus Design")
