alien star trek enterprise captain


There has only been human Star Trek Enterprise Captains.

So what think about alien captain of the enterprise?

For example maybe an adorian can be the captain.

reply

Spock has been captain of the Enterprise.

We never saw Spock in command of The Enteprise on screen

It is possible between Star Trek The Motion Picture and Star Trek The Wrath of Kahn Spock commanded the Enteprise as the new Captain.

Commander Spock of course must of taken Captain Deckers spot.

Then again Admiral James T. Kirk could of commanded the Enteprise as Captain.

In "The Cage" Spock took command of the Enterprise after Pike and Number ONe were captured and sent a message to the crew referring to himself as acting captain. Thus he was brierfly captain of the enterprise years before Kirk was.

reply

What if The Captain of The Enteprise was not a Vulcan or Romulan?

reply

Spock was Captain of the Enterprise for a short time when Kirk was declared dead in The Tholian Web. And the consensus is that Kirk commanded the Enterprise for a second 5 year mission after the events in TMP, at which point Spock became Captain of the Enterprise. Spock IS the Captain of the Enterprise in TWOK. Kirk is there as an Admiral, inspecting the new trainee crew.

Spock is half human also so I can not call him a true alien captain.

Spock was an acting Captain for alot times

I am not talking about acting Captains.

We all know that Spock had the position of Captain In Star Trek Wrath of Kahn but Admiral James T. Kirk acted as The Captain of The Enterprise.

We do not know if Admiral James T. Kirk commanded The Enterprise between Star Trek The Motion Picture and Star Trek Wrath of Kahn.

reply

Wasn't Spock the official CO of the Enterprise, during "The Wrath of Khan?" Of course, it was not a front-line ship, but relegated to the status as a training vessel - but he was still assigned as its CO.

We never saw Spock in command of The Enteprise on screen

Spock commanded Enterprise for several months in "The Paradise Syndrome," and he was named captain in "The Tholian Web" when Kirk was presumed dead. He was also very clearly the ship's captain at the beginning of Star Trek II.
