== Biography ==
James R. Kirk was born on March 22, 2233 to George and Winona Kirk in Iowa state, USA; Earth. [1] At 13 years of age he was living with his parents on the planet Tarsus IV. He was present during a time of mass famine and starvation when Governor Kodos, having some eugenic sympathies and unaware of relief ships incoming began to exterminate a portion of the population so what food was available could feed those deemed fit. Kirk was one of nine eyewitnesses to the actual massacre. [2] By 2250 Kirk had enrolled in Star Fleet Academy where he met Gary Mitchell [1] who would become a dear friend. He'd also meet Finnegann, an upper class Irishman who would bully Kirk for his 'plebeian' heritage. [3] As a cadet Kirk would participate in a Peace Mission to the planet Axanar where he'd be awarded the Palm Leaf of Axanar Peace Mission. [4]

In 2255 Kirk was an ensign fresh out of the academy assigned to the phaser station aboard USS Farragut when it encountered a strange red gaseous creature that killed Captain Garrovick on Tycho IV. Kirk blamed himself for the captain's death as he had delayed firing upon facing the unknown. His commanding officer disagreed with this blame. [6] (Work in Progress)

* "A little suffering is good for the soul."
* "How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life."
* “Death. Destruction. Disease. Horror. That’s what war is all about. That’s what makes it a thing to be avoided.” 
* “We’re human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we’re killers . . . but we’re not going to kill today. That’s all it takes! Knowing that we’re not going to kill — today!”
* “A balance of power - the trickiest, most difficult, dirtiest game of them all, but the only one that preserves both sides.”
