"Don't talk to me about rank! The man's a chair-bound paper-pusher."

Commodore Stocker was a 23rd century Starfleet flag officer.

In 2267, Stocker, who had served his entire career behind a desk, was assigned to be the commanding officer of Federation Starbase 10 and was to be transported there by the USS Enterprise.

En route to the starbase, the Enterprise stopped at Gamma Hydra IV, where Captain James T. Kirk and the other senior officers were infected with a radiation disease that caused premature aging. This forced Stocker to assume command of the Enterprise.

As acting captain, Stocker violated the Romulan Neutral Zone, in an attempt to take a shorter route to Starbase 10 in the hopes of reaching the base, and its "superior" facilities, in time to save the afflicted officers. This led to an attack on the Enterprise by several Romulan Birds-of-Prey. Being an inexperienced officer in battlefield conditions, Stocker panicked and almost lost the Enterprise before the cured Kirk could retake command and save the ship, using a broken code to deliver a false message warning Starfleet ships to avoid the area after he detonated a corbomite device (by the time the Romulans realized they had been fooled, the Enterprise was safely back in Federation space).

Kirk knew that he had been in no shape for duty and held no ill will toward Stocker, though Kirk did insist that there was little a starbase could do that a ship could not – which the commodore admitted he was now well aware of, assuming the right person was in command. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")

While en route, several Enterprise personnel became ill with a radiation induced hyperaccelerated aging disease. Fearing the loss of these officers, Stocker assumed command of the Enterprise.
