[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] In the times of The Original Series, starship captains did seem to wield a good deal of authority. As some support, we can look to the events in the Excelsior's history that were revealed in Voyager's "Flashback." Captain Sulu did not report his failed rescue attempt of Kirk and McCoy and lied about the causes of the damage to his ship. As an explanation, Janeway spoke about the difference in the times and how captains were more independent back then (and could presumably get away with a lot more). I'd be willing to bet that Kirk did eventually tell Starfleet about exiling Khan and company on Alpha Ceti VI. He did say that he'd wander how they would do in fifteen years, so it seems like he may have eventually travelled back to check on Khan. This seems realistic as it did seem there was a mutual respect between Khan and Kirk in "Space Seed." If it was reported, it may not have been deemed important enough an issue for everyone in Starfleet to know about. Add to that, there's the possibility that Terrell forgot over the long passage of time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
