A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.
Synopsis (obviously full of spoilers)
A strange starship emerges from a black hole and attacks the Federation starship USS Kelvin. The commander of the strange ship contacts the Kelvin, demanding that the captain fly over in a shuttle to discuss surrender terms. The Kelvin's captain agrees, leaving Lieutenant George Kirk in command.
On the alien ship, its Romulan captain -- Nero -- first asks the Federation captain where he can find Spock, and when the commander doesn't know, he asks to know the stardate. Upon learning that, he kills the Kelvin's captain. Lt. Kirk orders the evacuation of the Kelvin and pilots it into the Romulan ship, buying time for the ship's crew -- including his wife and newborn son -- to escape.
George Kirk's son, James T. Kirk, grows up without his father. While brilliant, he is a rebellious underachiever. A chance encounter with Captain Christopher Pike convinces him to join Starfleet.
Meanwhile, on Vulcan, Spock -- born of a Vulcan father and a human mother -- has difficulty deciding how he wants to lead his life. Feeling that the Vulcan Science Academy has insulted him by accepting his application "in spite of" his human ancestry, he chooses to join Starfleet.
Kirk completes the four-year Starfleet Academy training program in three years, but is accused of cheating on the "Kobayshi Maru" test. His accuser is Spock, who designed the test. Before the matter is decided, however, Starfleet scrambles all of the cadets to respond to a planetary emergency on Vulcan. Although suspended from duty until the cheating question is resolved, Kirk manages to get on board the Enterprise with the help of Leonard McCoy.
En route to Vulcan, Kirk hears a description of events occurring on Vulcan, compares the to reports of the battle that resulted in his father's death, and concludes that the fleet heading toward Vulcan is falling into a trap. He manages to convince Captain Pike, who prepares the ship for battle before emerging from warp speed.
Due to a delay leaving Earth, the Enterprise is the last ship in the fleet to arrive at Vulcan. They emerge from warp to find the rest of the fleet destroyed. The Romulan ship is in low orbit over Vulcan with a drilling device suspended into the atmosphere, blasting a path to the planet's core. Captain Nero recognizes the Enterprise and hails the ship. He asks Captain Pike to fly over to his ship in a shuttle to negotiate. Pike recognizes a trap, but agrees. Template:Section stub
