history: On Stardate 2233 James T. Kirk was born on the edge of Klingon space aboard a medical shuttle as his father crashed the U.S.S. Kelvin into a Romulan ship to save his wife, child and the hundreds of people fleeing the Starship. Although his family name made him somewhat infamous because of his father's heroic actions, James seemed to make it his personal mission to cause as much shit in his home state of Iowa as humanly possible. From stealing vehicles and driving them off canyon cliffs to engaging in bar fights, he was frequently known as a trouble maker. But for this rash behaviour, Kirk was an extremely intelligent young man, and whether it be a subconcious desire for something more or simply boredom, he learned everything he possibly could about both space and the world around him. When he was first approached in 2255 by Captain Pike, who tried to persuade him to enlist in Starfleet and do something with his extraordinary capabilities, Kirk shook initially off the conversation. But when Pike left, issuing him a challenge to live up to his family name, Kirk was unable to resist- and the next morning joined the rest of the citizens applying to Starfleet Academy. Pike had told him it would take him four years to become an officer, and Kirk intended to do it in three.
By the year 2258, Kirk had become friends with the pessimistic, offbeat Leonard McCoy, and was in the process of challenging an unbeatable simulation, the Kobayashi Maru, that all command-track cadets were required to take, for the third time. He managed to cheat his way through it and for all intents and purposes beat the test, and was in the process of arguing his case in a hearing with his accuser, Commander Spock, when they were suddenly interrupted by a distress signal from the planet Vulcan. All cadets were assigned to a Starship and sent on a rescue mission to the planet, as the rest of the Fleet was detained in the Laurentian System. Everyone save Jim, however, who was to be Earthbound until the Council reached a decision on his acts during the simulation. McCoy, feeling bad for him, gave him a vaccine to give him physical symptoms of illness to sneak him onto the U.S.S. Enterprise under medical grounds. The ship didn't know he was aboard until everyone was debriefed on the Vulcan situation, and Kirk realized that they were not about to do a rescue mission- but jump into a full fledged attack. By hearing about the black hole anomaly commonly known as a 'thunderstorm in space', Kirk knew that the Romulan ship that destroyed the U.S.S. Kelvin was in orbit over Vulcan, and would kill them all as soon as they arrived. After a brief argument, yet again, with Spock over the logic of his claims, the ship was put on Red Alert. They survived the attack, solely because they launched into Warp and arrived to the scene late, and the captain of the Romulan ship, Nero, recognized the name of the ship.
Nero demanded that Pike fly a shuttlecraft to his ship to negotiate a ceasefire, and left with no choice, he went to do exactly that. En route, he appointed Spock captain of the Enterprise with Kirk as his first officer, and then sent Kirk, Sulu and another cadet on a mission to disable the Romulan drill that was cutting off transporters and communicators. The latter cadet died on the way down, but Sulu and Kirk were able to destroy the drill and transport back to the Enterprise. It was too little too late, and though they were able to save four of the Vulcan Council members, the planet Vulcan was destroyed along with a majority of it's population of 6 billion by a black hole, along with Spock's mother, whom they were unable to beam off the planet. With Pike captured by the Romulans, Spock was in charge of the Enterprise, and was intent on meeting up with the rest of Starfleet to have a fighting chance against the extremely advanced Romulan ship. Kirk, however, believed they should head directly after the ship and catch it before it arrived and destroyed Earth. After a heated argument, and Kirk's attempts to fight off the security guards who tried to escort him from the bridge, Spock marooned Kirk on the planet Delta Vega as punishment for mutiny.
On the icy, extremely hostile planet, by some work of faith Kirk met up with Spock- but a Spock who was an Ambassador, and from the future; the same future Nero was from. He explained the situation, urging Kirk that he must be returned to captain the Enterprise, as he was captain in the prime timeline Spock was from. After meeting up with Montgomery Scott at a Starfleet Outpost on the planet, Ambassador Spock told Kirk he must elicit an emotional response from the present Spock to regain control of the ship. Once beamed aboard by a technique that Scotty discovered in the alternate timeline (given to them by the Ambassador), Kirk confronted Spock, provoking him into attacking him by bringing up the destruction of his planet and his dead mother. Spock immediately relinquished control of the ship, leaving Kirk as captain. His first command was to go after Nero.
After a conversation with his father, Spock joined Kirk, and the two essentially decided to agree to disagree, and working together, infiltrated Nero's ship. While Jim searched to rescue Pike, Spock took the futuristic ship Ambassador Spock had arrived to their timeline in and provided a distraction to lead Nero away from Earth. Once Kirk found Pike, he was transported back to the Enterprise in the same instant that Spock set a collision course with Nero's ship, and from the safety of the bridge Kirk then offered a helping hand to Nero as his ship was being sucked into a blackhole by the same technology that destroyed the planet Vulcan. Although the act was logical, Spock told Kirk he didn't agree with the it, his hatred outweighing his peaceful nature, but it was neither here nor there as Nero viciously declined. They fired everything and destroyed the ship and all Romulans aboard, effectively eliminating the threat to the Federation.
Upon return to Earth, Kirk was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise in relief of Admiral Pike. As they were getting ready to leave for another mission, Spock arrived on the bridge and requested to be first officer, which Kirk accepted immediately.
