Characters

Canon characters listed below are linked to the main article about them. Non-canon characters are not linked, but those that recurred, appearing or being mentioned in more than one story, are defined further in Marvel TOS characters.

Regular and recurring characters

James T. Kirk: USS Enterprise's CO, a Starfleet captain. After a promotion to rear admiral, Kirk served as the Chief of Starfleet Operations before returning to captain's rank for the V'Ger crisis.
Spock: Half-Vulcan former XO and science officer of Enterprise, a Starfleet commander.
Leonard McCoy: Enterprise CMO, a Starfleet doctor with the rank of commander.
Montgomery Scott: Enterprise chief engineer, a Starfleet commander.
Hikaru Sulu: Enterprise helmsman, a Starfleet lieutenant commander.
Nyota Uhura: Enterprise communications officer, a Starfleet lieutenant commander.
Pavel Chekov: Enterprise tactical officer and security chief, a Starfleet lieutenant.
Janice Rand: Transporter chief assigned to the Enterprise, a Starfleet CPO.

Other characters

Phral (aka Arlph)

References

USS Republic: Baton Rouge-class Federation starship that Ensign Kirk served aboard. This is one of the only times Kirk's Republic has ever been shown, here it is depicted as a Baton Rouge class ship lifted from Rick Sternbach's design in the Spaceflight Chronology. Other non-canon sources (Star Fleet Technical Manual, the novel "Republic") have contradicted this with a less-likely assertion that the Republic was Constitution-class. The Republic shown here is mistakenly listed as "NCC-1373" rather than the "NCC-1371" mentioned in TOS: "Court Martial". This registry error originated in this issue and would cross pollinate to other licensed sources, such as FASA's Star Trek Role Playing Game and Interplay's Judgment Rites.
