Star trek Captains





In my first article i will talk to you about all the star trek captain's:










I will start will the one and only Captain James T. Kirk :
The character James Kirk was raised in Iowa, the son of George Samuel and Winona Kirk. His brother and sister-in-law were introduced and killed off in the Star Trek episode Operation: Annihilate!, leaving behind a son, Peter and, according to a subsequent episode ("What Are Little Girls Made Of?"), two other children as well.. The novel Final Frontier, was written by Diane Carey [6] as a "prequel" novel to the Original Series, telling of the space adventures of James Kirk's father, Commander George Samuel Kirk, Sr.
Although born on Earth, Kirk apparently lived, at least for a time, on Tarsus IV, where he was one of only nine surviving witnesses to the massacre of 4,000 colonists because of utilitarian extermination by Kodos the Executioner.
While Kirk apparently received help getting into Starfleet Academy, his career as a cadet in Starfleet was notable. He was the first person to defeat the Kobayashi Maru combat simulation. Despite the simulator's overriding dictate that the cadet lose (The Wrath of Khan), Kirk rewrote the program to allow him to rescue the Kobayashi Maru's crew. For this, he received a commendation for original thinking.
While still a student at the Academy, he was granted a field commission as an Ensign and was posted to advanced training aboard the USS Republic in 2251. While there, young Ensign Kirk reported Ensign Ben Finney for carelessly leaving a switch to the atomic matter piles open which would have blown up the ship in a matter of minutes. This later would come back to haunt Kirk in the episode "Court Martial". Kirk was promoted to Lieutenant junior grade in 2253 and returned to Starfleet Academy as a student instructor. In classes he would teach as a lieutenant, one of his students remarked that one could either "think or sink" (Where No Man Has Gone Before).
Upon graduation in the top 5 percent of his class, Kirk was promoted to a full Lieutenant and served aboard the USS Farragut. During his time there, he commanded his first planet survey and survived a deadly attack by a gas cloud alien in the episode "Obsession," in which a large portion of the Farragut's crew, including Captain Garrovick, were killed.
Having risen rapidly through the ranks after leaving the Academy, he went on to receive his first command (the equivalent of a destroyer-class spaceship) while still quite young.)[7] This early phase of his career was not explored in either the television series or films, though it was explored in the 1986 novel "Enterprise: The First Adventure," by Vonda N. McIntyre.[8]
Kirk then became the youngest Captain in Starfleet to that date at 31, when he received command of the USS Enterprise, following the Captaincies of Robert April and Christopher Pike.
Kirk's notable relationships amongst his crew in the television series consisted of his First Officer, the Human/Vulcan Spock, who also doubled as the Enterprise's science officer (Spock would grow to be Kirk's closest friend), alongside Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy.
During the original series, Kirk commanded the Enterprise for a five-year mission (though the series barely lasted three years in real-time, with 80 episodes produced over three full seasons). In the 1979 first feature film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it is determined that after that mission, he was promoted to Rear Admiral, and was assigned as Chief of Starfleet Operations. In the Star Trek novel Star Trek: The Lost Years by J.M. Dillard, it is stated that during this time period, he was a diplomatic trouble-shooter for Starfleet, but Kirk felt unfulfilled in his administrative role. Spock later noted to his friend in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan that "commanding a starship is your first, best destiny...anything else is a waste of material
Second : Captain Jean-Luc Picard :


Jean-Luc Picard was born to Maurice and Yvette Picard in La Barre, France, in 2305 and dreamed of joining Starfleet.[8] He failed his first Starfleet Academy entrance exam, but was subsequently admitted and became the first freshman to win the Academy marathon.[8] Picard's academic training in archaeology is mentioned in several TNG episodes. Shortly after graduation, he was stabbed in the heart by a Nausicaan; the organ was irreparable and required replacement with a parthenogenetic implantthis would prove fatal later..[8] Picard eventually served as first officer aboard the USS Stargazer, and later commanded the ship.[8] During that time, he invented a starship combat maneuver that would become known as the Picard Maneuver.
Star Trek: The Next Generation depicts Picard's command of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D).[9] The pilot episode shows the crew's mission to investigate Farpoint Station being sidetracked when Q makes Picard humanity's "representative" in a trial charging the species with being a "dangerously savage child race".[9] Picard persuades Q to test humanity, and Q chooses as the test's first stage the crew's performance at Farpoint.[9] The trial "ends" seven years later (when Q reminds Picard that it never does), in the series finale, when humanity is absolved by Picard's demonstration that the species has the capacity to explore the "possibilities of existence."[9]

Picard as Locutus of Borg after assimilation.
The third season finale, "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I", depicts Picard being assimilated by the Borg to serve as a bridge between humanity and the Borg. Picard is renamed Locutus in the process. Picard's assimilation and recovery are a critical point in the character's development, and provided backstory for the film Star Trek: First Contact and the development of Benjamin Sisko, the protagonist of the Deep Space Nine spin-off.[9][10] Stewart asked Roddenberry to keep Picard a Borg for a few more episodes beyond the third season finale, as he thought that would be more interesting than simply restoring Picard in Part II.[4]
Picard works with James T. Kirk in Star Trek: Generations to fight the film's villain, Dr. Tolian Soran. Commanding the new USS Enterprise-E, Picard again confronts the Borg in the following film, First Contact. Later, he fights a species' forced relocation in Insurrection, and in Nemesis encounters Shinzon, a Romulan-made clone of himself.

Third Captain Benjamin Sisko:





[edit] Deep Space Nine
In 2369, Sisko is assigned to the Bajoran sector to command space station Deep Space Nine and to help Bajor's recovery from the recently-concluded Cardassian occupation, shepherding them toward possible membership in the United Federation of Planets. Sisko and his son Jake reluctantly take up residence on the station. Recognizing that the then decrepit station is not an "ideal environment" in which to raise a son, Sisko contemplates resigning his commission. Adding to Sisko's discomfort is the presence of Jean-Luc Picard, who briefs him on his mission. Sisko continues to harbor resentment toward Picard for his role, however unwilling, in the death of his wife.
Upon Sisko's first visit to Bajor, the Bajoran Kai, Opaka Sulan, labels him "the Emissary of the Prophets" and gives him one of the "Tears of the Prophets", a mysterious glowing orb that supposedly comes from Bajor's Prophets. By studying the orb and nearby stellar phenomenon, Jadzia Dax finds a location of unusual activity in the nearby Denorios Belt. Traveling there, Dax and Sisko discover the first known stable wormhole, which leads to the Gamma Quadrant, and the mysterious aliens living within it. The devoutly spiritual Bajorans believe them to be their "Celestial Temple" and Prophets, respectively. These aliens live outside linear time. Sisko's first contact with the aliens is awkward and difficult for both parties, but the encounter helps Sisko recognize that he has never allowed himself to move beyond the bitterness and grief of losing his wife, as well as his anger towards Picard. After leaving the wormhole, Sisko embraces the opportunity to move forward and command DS9.
After DS9 is moved to the mouth of the wormhole in order to firmly claim it for Bajor, it becomes a new hub of scientific, commercial and political activity. The wormhole's discovery cements in Opaka's and other Bajorans' minds the notion that Sisko is the Emissary of the Prophets - a title and set of responsibilities with which Sisko is initially ill at ease. However, Sisko warms up to and eventually embraces his fated role in the Bajoran faith.
When Sisko leads the Defiant into the wormhole to intercept a Dominion fleet, the Prophets intervene. Sisko at this point has not fulfilled his destiny and to ensure that he survives, the Prophets erase the Dominion forces from existence.
Sisko plays a critical role in the intrigue of the Alpha Quadrant. His actions prove key in stopping a Coup d'état attempt on Earth from his former Captain, Admiral Leyton. During the Klingon invasion of Cardassia, he is crucial to exposing the Founder impersonating Klingon general Martok. Sisko's exploits continue during the Dominion's invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, eventually working alongside Vice Admiral William Ross to help plan massive actions against the Dominion and their Cardassian and Breen allies. Sisko's contributions to the war effort are sometimes more surreptitious, such as his clandestine work with Elim Garak to bring the Romulans into, and thus turn the tide of, the war.
Sisko fulfills the Prophets' destiny for him in the series' finale, "What You Leave Behind," by confronting the Kosst Amojan-possessed Gul Dukat. They fight, and Dukat seems to be the winner, but in a last effort, Sisko throws himself and Dukat into the fiery abyss of the Bajoran Fire Caves, and Sisko is pulled into the Prophets' plane of existence to live with and learn from them. Ben imparts a farewell to his new - and pregnant - wife, Kasidy Yates, informing her that though he does not know when he will be able to return to her, he will eventually return.
Fourth Captain Jonathan Archer :


Seasons 1 and 2: The explorer
As a man who loves to travel amongst the stars, Archer realizes being captain is a larger duty than manager and astronomer. He runs into species from all over the quadrant trying to kill him and his crew. Encounters with the Mazarites, Tholians, Suliban, and Klingons cause Archer to become more of a military commander.
In addition, Archer learns the duties of captain include being a diplomat. During Seasons 1 and 2, he is somewhat uncomfortable with the role, especially in the episode "A Night in Sickbay" when his pet beagle, Porthos, contracts a deadly illness on an alien world.
While exploring, Archer becomes an enemy of the Klingons. In a dispute with the Klingon Empire in 2152, he is convicted and sentenced to exile on Rura Penthe, even though he is innocent of the charges and despite the Klingons having acknowledged his previous service to the Empire. With his escape, a bounty is put on Archer's head and tensions with the Klingon Empire increase.
Also during this period, Archer has the distinction of making Earth's official first contact with dozens of alien races, including the Andorians, Axanar, Suliban, Tandarans, Tellarites, Tholians, Xindi, and Romulans (although this is not a face-to-face contact).

[edit] Temporal Cold War
Although initially optimistic, Archer becomes involved in his first mission as captain of Enterprise in the middle of the Temporal Cold War. The Temporal Cold War begins at the beginning of the pilot episode, "Broken Bow." In that episode, the audience is introduced to the Suliban and a mysterious being from the future (informally referred to as "Future Guy") who is guiding them.
As the Temporal Cold War continues, we also meet Daniels, a character whose purpose seemingly is to safeguard Archer in particular and Enterprise in general. Daniels' comments are that Archer will be the man who helps to form the United Federation of Planets, and it becomes apparent by the third season that Daniels is representing the Federation throughout the Temporal Cold War.

[edit] Season 3: Military commander in the Expanse
Following the Xindi attack on Earth in 2153, Archer becomes a changed man. No longer a congenial captain, he is now driven and determined to seek out and confront the perpetrators. Archer commits desperate, controversial acts of questionable morality to ensure a future for Earth, including torturing a prisoner, cloning Tucker to harvest body parts in order to save the chief engineer and thus killing the clone, and stealing a vital warp coil and leaving a ship of aliens stranded in space.
While on his mission to locate the Xindi, Archer is briefly transformed into a member of the extinct Loque'eque by a mutagenic virus. Later, he is infected by subspace parasites, creating an alternate timeline in which the Enterprise's mission fails and Earth is destroyed. With the help of Daniels, Archer, along with T'Pol, travels back in time to 2004 Detroit to prevent the release of a Xindi-Reptilian bio-weapon.
By the end of the season, Archer is presumed dead when the Xindi superweapon is destroyed. However, in reality, he is transported back to the early 1940s during World War II, as is Enterprise.

[edit] Season 4: The diplomat
After returning home in 2154, Archer helps a faction of Vulcans fight an oppressive government on their planet. During this incident, he is the recipient of the katra, or living spirit, of the great Vulcan philosopher Surak. The katra is later transferred to a Vulcan priest, and Archer is left unharmed. This leads to the reformation of Vulcan society, and explains why the Vulcans of Archer's time were so different from the Vulcans of Kirk's time. In the process, Archer becomes the first known Human participant in a Vulcan mind meld. Since that experience, he has used that knowledge at least once: to assist T'Pol with conducting her first mind meld in order to gain information about who kidnapped Dr. Phlox (as seen in the episode "Affliction").
Archer is also involved in one of the first, and possibly most significant, treaties yet, being asked to escort Gral, the Tellarite ambassador, to the Tellarite-Andorian negotiations. En route, he and his crew run into the Andorian Shran, a long-time friend/enemy/ally. During his stay, Romulans attack and cause the fragile alliance to crash to a halt. In the mix-up, a Tellarite kills Shran's lover Talas, and Shran avenges her death by asking the Tellarite who killed her to fight to the death. In an attempt to protect the fragile peace treaty, Archer takes the challenge instead and Shran is incapacitated (but not seriously hurt). The alliance remains intact, and soon after, evolves into the United Federation of Planets. ("Demons", "Terra Prime", "These Are the Voyages...")
And to finishe the one and ONLY :Captain Kathryn Janeway <3


The character of Captain Janeway took command of the Intrepid-class USS Voyager.[3] in 2371. Their first mission is to locate and capture a Maquis vessel last seen in the area of space known as the "Badlands".[3] While there, the Maquis ship and Voyager are scanned by a coherent tetryon beam and subsequently a massive displacement wave hurls the ships to the Delta Quadrant, 75,000 light-years away.The Maquis ship is destroyed while fighting the Kazon, and although Voyager survives, there are numerous casualties. In order to protect the Ocampa, Janeway destroys a device, the Caretaker Array, that has the potential to return her crew to Federation space, stranding her ship and crew seven decades travel from home.
Her first major task is integrating the surviving Maquis and Voyager crews. Chakotay, captain of the Maquis ship, succeeds the deceased Lieutenant Commander Cavit as her executive officer.Janeway also grants convicted criminal, former Starfleet officer, and accomplished pilot Tom Paris a field commission, and makes him Voyager's helmsman.
Janeway often acts as the moral center of the show, expressing Star Trek's general progressive leanings. Her character does not exhibit the same equivocations about the prime directive that Picard or Sisko demonstrate. Her ethical self-assurance, while lauded by most, is criticized by others within the Star Trek viewing public, as self-righteous hypocrisy.
Janeway's other interactions with her crew include helping the ex-Borg Seven of Nine reclaim her individuality and humanity, and helping the Doctor by advocating his status as a sentient being.
Voyager has protracted contact with the Q Continuum and the Borg. With the intervention of a future/alternate version of herself, Janeway leads her crew in using one of the Borg's transwarp conduits to return her ship to Federation space after traveling through the Delta Quadrant for seven years.
During a cameo appearance in the film Star Trek Nemesis Captain Jean-Luc Picard receives orders for the mission to Romulus from Janeway, who has been promoted to vice admiral after Voyager's return from the Delta Quadrant.
