The History of the U.S.S. Farragut (NCC-1647)

2254 - James Kirk graduates from Starfleet Academy and is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His first assignment is aboard the Farragut, under the command of Captain Garrovick. Kirk commands his first planetary survey mission to Tyree's Planet. He befriends Tyree, leader of the hill people; a primitive tribe of hunter-gatherers living in huts and caves. The two are ceremonially made brothers.

2257 - The Farragut encounters a dangerous Dikironium cloud creature, or "Vampire Cloud", near the planet Tycho IV. The Vampire Cloud kills 200 members of the Farragut's crew, including Captain Garrovick. Lieutenant Kirk, due to his own hesitation, blames himself for the deaths . The Farragut returns home for refit and the Executive Officer, Commander Emilio Alvarez, is promoted to Captain, and is given command of the ship.

2263 - Kirk is promoted to the rank of Captain and assumes command of the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) from Captain Christopher Pike. Pike is then promoted to Fleet Captain.

2266 - Captain Alvarez retires from Starfleet after an incident that leaves him disabled. Commander John T. Carter, of the U.S.S. Potemkin (NCC-1657), is promoted to Captain and is assigned as the new Commanding Officer of the Farragut.
