[QUOTE]Originally posted by Middy Seafort: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb] Yeah, wasn't the original backstory that he'd been hero at the Battle of Ghioghe & commanded a couple of destroyers at first? The [i]Lydia[/i] & the [i]Sutherland[/i], both the names of Hornblower's ships. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, that backstory is from the novel "Enterprise: First Adventure" by Vonda N. McIntyre (though given Roddenberry's blessing before the Pocket Books restrainment). In that backstory, Kirk was in command of the [i]Lydia Sutherland[/i], which was one ship not two seperate vessels. There are some backstories that place Kirk in command of the [i]Saladin[/i] before the [I]Enterprise[/I, most notably in an issue of the Marvel "Star Trek" comics and the first DC "Star Trek" Annual. This command is also listed in the "Star Trek II: Biographies" by William Rotsler. IIRC, it was never mentioned on screen what, if any, Kirk's first command or command before "Enterprise" was.
