Getting into a fight with several of her classmates, he gets into a conversation with Captain Christopher Pike, who tells Jim of his late father's accomplishments and asks if he can do better. Kirk ships out to Starfleet, promising Pike that he'll get his own ship in three years instead of four. On the way to Starfleet Academy, he befriends Leonard McCoy who, having lost a divorce case that left him with "nothing but my bones," joins Starfleet as a last resort despite his dislike of all the risks in space. (Star Trek (2009))

2257

• Montgomery Scott and Keenser are stationed at a Federation outpost on Delta Vega after losing Admiral Jonathan Archer's prized pet beagle in a transwarp beaming experiment. (Star Trek (2009))

2258

• Star Trek (2009):
  • Ambassador Spock arrives from the year 2387 of the Original Timeline and is immediately captured by Nero, who confiscates the Jellyfish and strands the elder Spock on Delta Vega so he'll be forced to watch Vulcan's destruction.
  • Cadet Nyota Uhura begins hearing disturbances in space, though nobody takes her views too seriously due to her still being a cadet.
  • Cadet James T. Kirk cheats to "win" the Kobayashi Maru simulation. In defending his actions to Commander Spock before an Academy hearing, he speaks of his dislike of the idea of a no-win scenario, while Spock points out it's more about dealing with pressure and facing death in its certainty. However, the hearing is interrupted by a distress signal from Vulcan. All the cadets hurry to help, with the best joining the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701).
  • Uhura is transferred to the Enterprise after complaining to Spock about him assigning her to the USS Farragut in an attempt to avoid favoritism. Cadet Leonard McCoy sneaks Kirk aboard the Enterprise as a way to get around him being grounded due to his hearing through illness. Spock and Captain Christopher Pike are assigned to lead the Enterprise, while helmsman Lieutenant McKenna is sick with lungworm, leaving Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu to take the helm. Due to a technical mistake, the Enterprise departs Spacedock late. However, this provides a stroke of good fortune, as they avoid absolute destruction of the fleet by the Narada when the other ships arrive.
  • Kirk realizes that the Enterprise is flying into a trap set by Romulans, which is confirmed by Uhura. Bringing their intel to Pike, Kirk is allowed to stay on the ship while Uhura, thanks to her high language proficiency, is given a field promotion to communications officer. As they ease out of hyperspace, the Enterprise discovers the fleet decimated and Nero drilling down to Vulcan's core with a giant drill. Before leaving to board the Narada, Pike turns command of the Enterprise over to Spock and makes Kirk first officer. He then flies a shuttlecraft to the Narada to negotiate with the Romulan crew, only to be captured. McCoy is promoted to chief medical officer due to his superior, Dr. Puri, dying in the first round of enemy fire.
  • In order to try and help buy the Vulcans time to evacuate or protect their planet, Kirk volunteers alongside Sulu to try and destroy the drill. Despite the difficulties, they manage to do so, though not before the drill reaches Vulcan's core, allowing Nero to drop red matter to Vulcan's core. Ensign Pavel Chekov helps to rescue Sulu and Kirk when they start free falling onto the planet, demonstrating a utility in both transporter operation and navigation. Evacuating Vulcan's leaders personally, Spock gets most of the Council out safely, but a sudden collapse in the planet's terrain causes his mother, Amanda Grayson, to fall to her death. Soon after, Vulcan implodes, though the Enterprise manages to escape.
  • Following the destruction of Vulcan, the rest of the Enterprise crew determines that they now truly live in an alternate timeline, but a disagreement over tactics leads to Kirk being marooned on Delta Vega. Fortunately, Ambassador Spock rescues him from a giant creature, then informs him of Nero's true motives and directs him to a Federation outpost, where they meet Montgomery Scott and Keenser. Ambassador Spock gives Scott his (Scott's) Original Timeline counterpart's transwarp formula, providing him with the means to beam aboard the Enterprise as it's traveling at warp. Spock declines to go on account of potentially causing a paradox, but he assures Kirk before going that Kelvin!Spock is emotionally compromised and that Kirk needs to prove it by provoking him to anger.
  • Provoking Spock by implying he didn't love his mother, Spock steps down as captain, finally recognizing his emotional compromise, paving Kirk's lead up. Gathering all his new team members together, Kirk begins planning a way to defeat Nero and rescue Pike.
    • Hiding behind Saturn's rings, they plot to steal the Jellyfish from Nero, while also running interference to get Pike out.
  • While they get enbroiled in a firefight, Kirk and Spock manage to get done what they need to. Stealing the Jellyfish, Spock warps it out of the area, and then turns it around to ram Nero's ship. While Nero tries to stop the ship, then the enterprise warps in, giving them the space needed for ALL the red matter to detonate, beginning to destroy Nadara.
    • Offering mercy briefly, Nero declines in spite, so to ensure his total destruction, the enterprise destroys his ship as the red matter consumes it. Almost pulled into the black hole created, they create a shockwave and escape back to earth.
  • With their safe return, several changes go on.
    • For surviving and stopping Nero, Christopher Pike is promoted to Admiral.
    • Spock meets his Prime counterpart, who suggests to him that while he takes on the role of Ambassador Spock for Vulcan, he can do what feels right and continue serving with Starfleet.
    • For bravery and heroism, Kirk is given permanent command of the chair.
    • Further, Uhura, Sulu and McCoy are permitted to keep their commands.
    • Scotty meanwhile is formally assigned to engineering aboard the enterprise.
    • For a finishing touch, Spock is taken on as Kirk's 1st officer.
  • The crew of the Enterprise, having survived their first team mission, begin exploring the galaxy.
• Admiral Alexander Marcus recovers the SS Botany Bay and brings Khan Noonien Singh out of stasis. Blackmailed by Marcus to work with him, Khan, given the new identity of Starfleet officer Commander John Harrison, is forced to help Marcus build a stronger fleet and thus prepare Starfleet for a war with the Klingons. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

2259

• Star Trek Into Darkness:
  • The USS Enterprise surveys the planet Nibiru, where Captain James T. Kirk breaks the Prime Directive to rescue Commander Spock and the Nibirians from a volcano. Consequently, he is demoted to first officer under Christopher Pike, who is reinstated as commanding officer of the Enterprise.
  • Khan Noonien Singh launches a surprise attack upon the Daystrom Institute, killing off much of Starfleet's leadership, including Pike. Kirk is granted command of the Enterprise once again.
  • Tracking Khan to a Klingon world, Kirk and crew captures Khan, who reveals his true identity to them, but also explains how his crew was captured, and thus what he was doing was to try and save them (supposedly).
  • Admiral Marcus tracks the enterprise down, threatening to destroy it in order to get his hands on Khan again. Working together in truce, Khan kills Marcus, and then threatens the enterprise himself for his crew.
    • Tricking Khan by hitting him with real torpedoes, Khans actions lead to the temporary death of Kirk, who worked to protect his ship in his last moments, explaining to Spock why he had to act as he did.
  • Recapturing Khan, Spock brings him to Mccoy, who then uses a sample of his blood to help resuscitate Kirk, though slowly.

May 11, 2260

• The USS Enterprise embarks on the Federation's first official five-year mission of uncharted deep-space exploration. (Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek Beyond)

2263

• Star Trek Beyond:
  • Ambassador Spock dies on New Vulcan.
  • The USS Enterprise stops off at Starbase Yorktown for re-supply. While there, they receive a "refugee" ship speaking of a lost ship out past an unstable nebula. Investigating, the Enterprise is attacked by a swarm of ships that are so numerous, conventional weapons cannot stop them. Despite multiple attempts to fight or flee, the Enterprise crew is forced to abandon ship. The majority of the Enterprise crew is captured, but several members manage to escape: Commander Spock and Dr. Leonard McCoy crash an enemy ship in a canyon, Captain James T. Kirk and Ensign Pavel Chekov manage to land in a nearby forest, and Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott manages to barely escape in a wooded but also cliffed area. Divided and without good information, the four groups begin seeking answers and each other.
  • Spock and McCoy blunder though the canyon, though Spock is seriously wounded. While together, they affirm their care for each other despite everything, as well as Spock telling McCoy about his desire to rejoin New Vulcan to make up for Ambassador Spock's death.
  • Scott is rescued by the survivor Jayla, who takes him to the USS Franklin, which he begins repairing.
  • Lieutenants Hikaru Sulu and Nyota Uhura learn more about their attacker, Krall, and how he contacted Yorktown as well as his plans to destroy it as a mockery of their unity. He plans to do so with the use of a superweapon called the Abronath, which the Enterprise happened to be carrying the last piece of.
  • Chekov and Kirk force Kalara to take them back to the remains of the Enterprise before she reveals herself as a traitor rather than a victim of Krall. They eventually join up with Scott and Jayla to start planning how to rescue the rest of the Enterprise crew. Beaming McCoy and Spock aboard the Franklin, the crew makes plans to use a distraction in order to rescue the crew using holograms, a motorcycle, and the transporters. Working together, Jayla gets closure fighting Krall's lieutenant, Manas, and the crew is rescued. However, Krall then takes his "bees" to attack Yorktown. To pursue, the Franklin is re-launched under Kirk's command.
  • Krall begins his attack on Yorktown. Using discordant sound (namely the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage") to jam their sensors, Kirk's crew and Yorktown disrupt the bees and destroy the majority of the swarm. Krall, however, manages to make it inside the starbase. Crashing into the Franklin during pursuit, Krall escapes, now in an approximation of his true form; namely, as Uhura recognizes, he's in fact Balthazar Edison, a former MACO who was made a Starfleet captain after the Xindi and Romulan wars ended and the Federation was founded. Kirk pursues, trying to stop Edison from using the Abronath on Yorktown. Edison and Kirk engage in hand-to-hand combat; after a grueling battle, Edison is launched into space and destroyed by his own weapon.
  • Kirk politely declines a promotion to Vice Admiral, deciding that the adventure with Edison gave him new purpose and love for his job as a Starfleet captain. Jayla is given an application to Starfleet Academy with a recommendation from Scott.
  • The crew of the Enterprise is given the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) as their new ship.
