Tiberius Kirk(Mirror Universe)

In the mirror universe, Tiberius  **Kirk** was a male Terran officer in the Imperial Starfleet who commanded the ISS *Enterprise* in the 2260s. and rose to power in 2270 to become Emperor of the entire Terran Empire.

## Early History

Tiberius. Kirk was born in a farmhouse in Riverside, Iowa on Earth in 2233.

He had an elder brother George Samuel Kirk, Jr., and who later pursued a career as a scientist. As Sam had no interest in a military career and James had no interest in science unless he could manipulate it to make his life easier, neither brother had to worry about the other getting in the way of his career and having to be eliminated.

In 2246, Kirk and his family moved to Tarsus IV. That year, the colony suffered a mass famine caused by the virogen plague and Governor Kodos ordered the execution of 4,000 colonists. However, 13-year-old James T. Kirk led a small gang of children to seize the food warehouses and executed Kodos.

## Early Career

While at Starfleet Academy, Kirk murdered an upperclassman named Sean Finnegan, who had been bullying him, with the assistance of Simon Van Gelder.

Kirk was an early protege of Captain Garth of Izar. In 2254, immediately following his graduation from Starfleet Academy, the young Lieutenant Kirk used his mentor's influence to arrange an assignment on board the ISS *Farragut*.

Kirk would serve on board the *Farragut* for three years under the command of Captain Stephen Garrovick. Garrovick took particular delight in humiliating Lieutenant Kirk in front of the entire crew. In revenge, Lieutenant Kirk arranged for Garrovick and two hundred of his crew to be killed by a dikironium cloud creature near Tycho IV after Kirk "hesitated" to fire the ship's phasers against the creature. He later claimed that the night after the massacre was the best sleep he'd had in years.

In the early 2260s, Kirk was romantically involved with Dr. Carol Marcus and the two had a son, David Marcus. However, Carol would keep David's parentage a guarded secret in order to avoid Kirk finding out about him. According to Spock, if Kirk had ever found out that David was his son, he would have killed both David and Carol.

### Road to command

In 2264, in the aftermath of the *Farragut* disaster, Kirk was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and placed on medical leave while the *Farragut* remained in Earth Spacedock, having yet to be assigned a new captain. Kirk used his time off to gather information about Christopher Pike, captain of the ISS *Enterprise*, in order to assassinate him and gain command of the *Enterprise*.

Kirk moved up in rank to Lieutenant Commander following the Tycho incident and arranged to be assigned to the ISS *Enterprise*, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, where he made the acquaintance of Lieutenant Spock, a junior science officer., Kirk began slowly and systematically working his way up the ladder of command on board the *Enterprise*.

By 2262, Kirk was first officer on board the ship While on a landing party, Kirk discovered the Tantalus field in the looted laboratory of a dying alien scientist. With difficulty, he managed to transfer the device off of the ISS *Buchanan* to an Orion trading vessel and masked the *Enterprise*'s rendezvous with the Orions as an illicit weapons/dilithium trade. Kirk also conscripted Spock and Dr. McCoy to obstruct Pike's investigations of Kirk, and ordered chief engineer Montgomery Scott to prepp a control panel in his quarters in which he would install the Tantalus field.

However, believing that he was running short on time, having made too many enemies too quickly, Kirk attempted to assassinate Pike by blowing up his shuttlecraft, the *Bellarmine*, while Pike was down on a planet suppressing primitive aliens and securing their dilithium mines. However, the assassination attempt failed as Pike survived the shuttle's explosion.

Later on, Kirk went to Dr. McCoy's office and overheard Pike voice his suspicions about him to McCoy. After Pike left, Kirk was chastised by McCoy for his lack of discretion and patience. After Kirk explained that he had to move forward soon, before someone could get to him first, McCoy showed understanding and agreed to continue helping him, although he insisted that they were going to do it his way, with no more exploding shuttlecrafts, to which Kirk agreed.

Afterwards, Kirk talked with Scotty in his quarters as he was prepping the control panel. After Scotty remarked that he would have had an easier time prepping if he knew what he was going to be installing, Kirk told him that he would know when it arrived and not one second before. Kirk then explained that the Orion trading vessel was due to rendezvous with the *Enterprise* in three days. When Scotty was finished, he told Kirk to signal him when the Orions arrived and that he would beam the parcel over without anyone noticing. Kirk then promised Scotty great riches for his service and threatened to punish him if he failed, prompting Scotty to assure Kirk of his loyalty and promising to install the device once it arrived, much to Kirk's delight.

Once the device was complete Kirk Killed Pike and took command of the Enterprise.

### Captain of the *Enterprise*: The Five-Year Mission

#### First year (2264-2265)

In 2264, the *Enterprise* departed on a five-year mission of exploration and conquest under Kirk's command.

Kirk's first official action as captain of the *Enterprise* was to suppress the Gorlan uprising by completely destroying the planet Gorlan. Kirk ordered an orbital bombardment on the planet, killing almost every living thing on the planet's surface and turning the surface into rubble and glazed glass. Further bombardment from the imperial ship caused the planet to crack open like an eggshell and killed all who did not escape Gorlan. Only a few thousand Gorlan managed to escape the planet and they became space pirates.

In 2265, Kirk's second action as captain was the execution of 5,000 colonists on Vega IX after they threatened to secede from the Terran Empire. Responding to the crisis, Kirk's security forces were easily able to round up all of the conspirators. Kirk quickly realized that it was the children who had prompted their parents to stage the coup, having gained great powers of suggestion over their parents and other adult blood relatives due to exposure to the strange properties of a meteorite that had landed outside the main Vegan settlement, Orbis.

To teach the children a lesson about the responsibilities of power in a harsh world, Kirk had 5,000 parents executed and then recommended that imperial administrators round up the psychic children and ship them off to Vulcan for study and possible training as intelligence agents or even assassins. However, the shuttle carrying the children veered off course and was never seen again.

#### Second year (2265-2266)

Later that year, Kirk launched a devastating attack against the Romulan Star Empire which destroyed much of their industrial base, providing what was considered to be a "necessary show of force" against them.

During a visit to the planet Exo III, Kirk destroyed Ruk, the last surviving member of a society of androids which had turned on their masters and killed them.

#### Third year (2266-2267)

In 2267, Kirk executed Chief of Security Ben Finney for plotting against him. Afterwards, Lieutenant junior grade Hikaru Sulu assumed Finney's rank and position. Shortly after Finney’s execution, Lieutenant Commander Spock seized control of the *Enterprise* and directed it on a course for the forbidden planet of Talos IV, after imprisoning Captain Kirk and Commodore Mendez of Starbase 11. This "mutiny" was actually a ruse by Kirk and Spock to allow the *Enterprise* to approach the planet and bombard it, in order to destroy the Talosians, whose power of mental illusion posed a threat to the Empire. For their actions, both men earned medals from the Empire and Spock was promoted to the rank of Commander.

When an imperial colony on Cestus III was attacked and occupied by the Gorn, the Imperial Starfleet, including the *Enterprise*, launched a retaliatory raid on the planet which was interrupted by the arrival of advanced alien beings who referred to themselves the Metrons. The Metrons forced Kirk and his Gorn counterpart into a duel to the death. Kirk won by fashioning a makeshift gunpowder weapon, but paused before killing him. Kirk wanted to torture the Gorn for information about his species before dispatching him. However, the Metrons interpreted his action as a show of mercy, and banished Kirk and the *Enterprise* from Gorn space by creating a vast energy barrier around it.

Later on, Kirk ended the conflict between Eminiar VII and Vendikar by bombarding both planets until they were forced to surrender to the Empire. He also dealt with a threat to Imperial mine workers on Janus VI, capturing the silicate creature stalking them and seizing its eggs for study. Kirk later put down a minor Klingon incursion into the Organia system before the Klingons could land on the planet Organia.

Later in, an incident caused Kirk to accidentally time travel to Earth in the 1930s. While there, Kirk saved Edith Keeler from her destined death in an automobile accident and then told her about the century's future history so that the two of them could rule together. During this time, Kirk and Keeler conceived a son,  However, Kirk brought her back to his time and had her excuted when she attempted to leave him, his unborn child was also killed When the Deneva colony was invaded by neural parasites, Kirk destroyed most of the life on the planet in order to guarantee the eradication of the parasites. Kirk justified his decision based on Imperial policy, claiming that the fact that his brother Samuel lived at the colony, and that he and Samuel hated each other, had no bearing on his actions.

In 2267, when his chief engineer Montgomery Scott was accused of the brutal murders of three women on Argelius II, he ensured that the charges against him were dropped without an investigation taking place.

Kirk later oversaw the conquest of Gamma Trianguli VI and Coridan as new subjects of the Empire.

### Trip to the primary universe

Later, Kirk visited the planet Halka. The Empire had noted the Halkan homeworld's vast dilithium reserves and threatened to destroy the Halkans if they did not comply. Kirk and his landing party, consisting of himself, Dr. McCoy, Lieutenant Commander Scott and Lieutenant Uhura, beamed down to the planet's surface and met with the Halkan council. After uttering the customary threats, Kirk and his landing party attempted to beam up back to the *Enterprise*.

However, an extremely volatile ion storm crossed him with his counterpart from the primary universe, beaming him and his landing party right inside their duplicates' clothes in a one-in-a-million transference, which read to Winston Kyle's board as a "wobble" in the power beam of the transporter.

He found himself aboard the USS *Enterprise* in a different world than the one that he knew. Kirk knew within seconds the he was not in his Universe, he told his away team to not cause a scene and it took roughly One hour before they were caught and detained, but in that Hour Kirk had been through the ships database looking for anything he could use to his advantage. The Spock of that universe noted it was far more difficult for the barbaric mirror universe landing party to behave civilized than it was for the civilized crew to feign barbarity on the other side. After being imprisoned by Spock, he offered him fantastic bribes to get his command back. Spock proceeded to place the captives on the transporter, to wait for when the crew from his landing party reciprocated the action, and beamed themselves back into the places of the duplicates.

After the landing parties returned to their respective universes, the Spock of the primary universe told his Captain Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy that he found their counterparts to be "brutal, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous; in every way splendid examples of *Homo sapiens*, the very flower of Humanity."

pon Kirk's return to his own universe, Spock attempted to reason with Kirk to spare the Halkans for their refusal to trade with the Empire. He made the logical argument that annihilating the Halkan civilization would hinder the Empire's mining of the planet, only to be ignored by a vengeful Kirk. Kirk destroyed the Entire Planet

## Emperor Tiberius I

After his 5 year Mission was finished Kirk returned to Earth and Assassinated Empress  Philippa Georgiou and took Control over the Entire Empire Becoming *Emperor Tiberius* he Reigned from 2370-2385 until Admiral Spock and his small group of like minded officers over threw him in a Coup. Spock thought he killed Kirk. During his Reign he became the most depraved dictator in the Terran Empire's history. He instigated a number of purges, killing many of his former officers, including Marlena Moreau.

## Later life

After his ousting and presumed death he went to the Klingons and Cardassians and talked them into helping him reclaim the Empire. As a result humans and Vulcans became enslaved by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.

Tiberius increasingly despised his own over the years, eventually calling him and all that dwell in the other universe "ghosts
