==Die Fünf-Jahres Mission==
Die folgenden Jahre diente Kirk mit Auszeichnung bis zu seiner Beförderung zum Captain 2263 und er das Kommando über die USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)übernahm. Mit dem Alter von 34 war Kirk der bis dahin jüngste Offizier, der den Rang eines Captain erreichte. Kirk befehligte die Enterprise für insgesamt 22 Jahre. Seine größten Ruhm erntete er bei der historischen Fünf-Jahres-Mission von 2264 bis 2269 (''TOS: "[[Die Spitze des Eisberges]]"''), die ihn zu einer Legende in der Raumforschung machte (''"[[Star Trek VII: Treffen der Generationen]]"''). By 2267, Kirk had earned an impressive list of commendations from Starfleet, including the Palm leaf of axanar peace mission, the Grankite order of tactics (Class of Excellence) and the Preantares ribbon of commendation (Classes First and Second). Kirk's awards for valor included the Medal of Honor, the Silver Palm with Cluster, the Starfleet Citation for Conspicuous Gallantry, and the Kragite Order of Heroism. (TOS: "Court Martial")
In 2267, Kirk became the first starship captain ever to stand trial when he was accused of causing the death of Ben Finney. Kirk's trial, held at Starbase 11, proved Kirk innocent of wrongdoing, and he was exonerated (TOS: "Court Martial"). During that original five-year mission, Kirk recorded a tape of last orders to be played by Commander Spock and Chief Medical Officer McCoy upon his death. While trapped in a spatial interphase near Tholian space, Kirk vanished with the USS Defiant and was declared dead. His last orders conveyed the hope that his two friends would work together despite their differences (TOS: "The Tholian Web"). Kirk was once split into two personalities by a transporter malfunction (TOS: "The Enemy Within"). Irgendwann wäre Kirk fast an der [[Veganische Choriomeningitis]] gestorben. (''TOS: "[[Fast unsterblich]]"'')
