After Star Trek III, Spock’s Mind Was Saved By…His Mirror Universe Counterpart?

Star trek has 4 deep connections to the omen, star trek’s rest of 2024 is all animation - that’s good (& bad).

Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) is forever linked to the USS Enterprise, but his prior ship, the USS Farragut, has also had an important Star Trek legacy. Kirk became Captain of the Enterprise in 2265, inheriting the United Federation of Planets' flagship from Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount). Just as various versions of the Enterprise have played vital roles in the Federation's history, the USS Farragut has also made an impact, albeit often in supporting or background roles.

Star Trek: Enterprise

The USS Farragut's history spans Star Trek's 23rd and 24th centuries as well as the Prime and Kelvin timeline of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies. There have been at least 4 starships named Farragut of various classes. Different versions of the Farragut have crossed paths with various versions of the Starship Enterprise , and like the Enterprise, the Farragut has also been destroyed by Starfleet's enemies. Here are the major moments and encounters of the USS Farragut and which iconic Star Trek characters have served aboard the starship.

The USS Farragut In Strange New Worlds & Star Trek: TOS

In the 23rd century, the USS Farragut was a Farragut Class starship with the Starfleet registry NCC-1647. The Farragut was commanded by Captain Garrovick, and it was Lt. James T. Kirk's (Paul Wesley) first deep space posting. In addition, Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) was stationed on the Farragut before she was assigned to Captain Pike's USS Enterprise. The Farragut encountered a dikironium cloud creature in 2257 that killed most of the crew, including Captain Garrowick. Nurse Chapel wore a pin of the Farragut on Remembrance Day in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1.

In the alternate future of Strange New Worlds season 1's finale , James T. Kirk was Captain of the Farragut instead of the Enterprise. Kirk's Farragut joined Pike's Enterprise in pursuit of a cloaked Romulan Bird-of-Prey, which sparked a generations-long war with the Romulans in the now-deleted timeline. In Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Obsession," Captain Garrovick's son, Ensign David Garrovick (Stephen Brooks), attempted to exact revenge on the dikironium cloud creature who killed the crew of the Farragut. Ensign Garrovick later crashed on Planet 0042692 and inspired that world's inhabitants to become the Enderprizians, as seen in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1.

The USS Farragut In J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Movie Kelvin Timeline

In J.J. Abrams' Star Trek 2009 , the USS Farragut was part of a Starfleet armada deployed to Vulcan, which was under attack by the Narada, a Romulan mining vessel commanded by Nero (Eric Bana) that time traveled from the 24th century and sparked the creation of the alternate Kelvin timeline. By the time the USS Enterprise arrived at Vulcan, Nero had destroyed the Farragut as well as the rest of Starfleet's ships. Ensign Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) narrowly avoided death as was initially assigned to the Farragut before Commander Spock (Zachary Quinto) reassigned her to the Enterprise.

The USS Farragut In Star Trek Generations & DS9

The 24th-century USS Farragut was a Nebula Class starship with the Starfleet registry NCC-60597. At the end of Star Trek Generations, the Farragut was one of the Starfleet ships that assisted in the recovery of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D from Veridian III. The Enterprise was attacked by Klingon sisters Lursa (Barbara March) and B'Etor (Gwynyth Walsh), and the separated saucer section crash-landed on Veridian III. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 5, the Farragut was a casualty of the Federation-Klingon War following Lt. Commander Worf 's (Michael Dorn) assignment to DS9. Assigned to assist the colonists of Ajilon Prime, the Farragut was attacked by the Klingons near the Lembatta Cluster and destroyed.

The USS Farragut In Star Trek: DS9's Dominion War

It didn't take long for Starfleet to resume the legacy of the USS Farragut. The next Farragut was an Excelsior Class starship that first appeared later in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 5. The Farragut, along with the USS Yaeger, made multiple visits to Deep Space Nine, where it docked near the USS Defiant. In DS9 season 6, the Farragut brought the genetically-engineered individuals who befriended Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig) to the station. The Farragut made five more visits to Deep Space Nine in seasons 6 and 7. Most notably, the Farragut brought Nog (Aron Eisenberg) , who lost his leg in battle with the Jem'Hadar at the Siege of AR-558, home to Deep Space Nine.

Did you know

• Trivia The ship which Kirk served on for his first deep space mission is disclosed to be the USS Farragut, and was named after David Glasgow Farragut, a flag officer of the United States Navy during the American Civil War. He was the first rear admiral, vice-admiral, and admiral in the United States Navy and is credited for uttering the phrase, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!", disregarding all danger while charging into enemy waters off the Alabama Coast. (That quote however is an abridged version. He actually said: "Damn the torpedoes. Four bells, Captain Drayton, go ahead. Jouett, full speed.")
• Goofs Ensign Garrovick states that less than one ounce of antimatter is more powerful than 10,000 cobalt bombs but the actual energy yield is only about 1.2 megatons TNT. The implication that a cobalt bomb releases more energy than a "regular" nuclear weapon is incorrect; a cobalt bomb is just an ordinary thermonuclear weapon "salted" with cobalt to produce long-lived Co-60 in its fallout.

The shuttlecraft "Sagan" was named in honor of the late 20th century astronomer and Pulitzer Prize winning author, Doctor Carl Sagan, who pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. Dr. Sagan made seminal contributions to the study of planetary atmospheres, planetary surfaces, the history of the Earth, and exobiology. He contributed to most of the unmanned missions that explored Earth's solar system.

The highlights of sagan's career include the discovery of the high surface temperatures of the planet venus, and solving the mysteries of what were believed to be "seasonal changes" to the planet mars. he was among the first to hypothesize that saturn's moon, titan, and jupiter's moon, europa, may possess oceans, or lakes, making the them potentially habitable for life. europa's subsurface ocean was later indirectly confirmed by the spacecraft galileo. sagan also helped solve the mystery of the reddish haze seen on titan, revealing that it is composed of complex organic molecules constantly raining down to the moon's surface. he also speculated about life in jupiter's clouds, given the planet's dense atmospheric composition, rich in organic molecules., sagan is best known, however, for his research on the possibilities of extraterrestrial life, including an experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. his research has been credited as having transformed planetary science., shuttlecraft sagan (ncc-1647/1) standing ready to explore the cosmos., the shuttlecraft "gemini" was named for the third constellation of the zodiac and its twin stars, castor and pollux and in honor of nasa's second manned space flight program, which tested orbital rendezvous and docking, maneuvering and atmospheric entry methods., shuttlecraft gemini (ncc-1647/2) orbiting earth during observational studies of the aurora borealis., the shuttlecraft "horch" was named for professional prop maker steve horch who lost his battle with cancer in 2010. horch, along with fellow master modeler michael moore, founded hms creative productions in 1998, specializing in the manufacturing of original movie and tv production props and licensed reproduction collectibles, toy and product prototype manufacturing and consulting, and rare prop and model preservation and restoration. although horch's credits are not limited to the star trek universe, he has made props and set re-creations for several star trek exhibits, including the star trek experience, the star trek travelling exhibit and museum tour, the star trek exhibit at the edinburgh museum, and the canada star trek museum. his television credits include props and set pieces for the next generation, deep space nine, voyager and enterprise. his movie credits include star treks iv, v and vi, generations, first contact, insurrection, nemesis, and the 2009 re-boot., shuttlecraft horch (ncc-1647/3) returning from a planetary survey mission., the shuttlecraft "hartford" was named in honor of the uss hartford; the flagship of rear admiral david g. farragut during the battle of mobile bay, august 5, 1864., shuttlecraft hartford (ncc-1647/7) standing by on a planetary surface., the shuttlecraft "lovell" was named in honor of american astronaut james a. lovell.  during nasa's project gemini flights, lovell, aboard gemini vii, participated in the first rendezvous of two manned maneuverable spacecraft and commanded gemini xii.  during project apollo, he served as command module pilot and navigator aboard apollo viii - man's maiden voyage to the moon in december of 1968. apollo viii was the first manned spacecraft to be lifted into near-earth orbit by the saturn v launch vehicle and became the first manned spacecraft to leave the earth's gravitational influence.  lovell completed his fourth mission as commander of apollo xiii in april of 1970, and became the first human to journey twice to the moon., shuttlecraft lovell (ncc-1647/13) traversing the final frontier..

How the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Finale Brings Classic Lore Back to Canon

The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds finale features tons of easter eggs and callbacks to The Original Series and beyond!

This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds article contains spoilers.

Expecting easter eggs and nods to Star Trek: The Original Series in any contemporary Trek series is normal. Discovery season 1 had a Gorn skeleton and a tribble. Picard season 2 basically hinged on the underrated TOS episode “Assignment: Earth.” Lower Decks season 2 had an entire episode focused on how to pronounce “Mugato.” And of course, nearly every episode of Strange New Worlds has had a least one wink -or-nod to something from T he Original Series .

But not since the 1996 Deep Space Nine episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” has a new Star Trek episode boldly gone inside of a pre-existing TOS episode. But in the Strange New Worlds season 1 finale, “A Quality of Mercy,” that’s exactly what happens. When Captain Pike visits an alternate 2266 , he lives through an altered version of the TOS episode “Balance of Terror,” in which he’s the captain and not Kirk. 

In other words, the SNW season 1 finale is basically a giant easter egg, containing several tinier easter eggs. Here are all the callbacks and references we found:

Ad – content continues below

“A Treaty From 100 Years Ago”

Pike mentions the existence of the Romulan Neutral Zone is “a remnant from a treaty from 100 years ago.” This references the Earth-Romulan War, a semi-famous Star Trek conflict that oddly has never actually been depicted on screen. In fact, the only character we’ve ever seen on screen who was a participant in this war was Captain Baltazhar (Idris Elba) from the film Star Trek Beyond . In terms of the chronology, the Earth-Romulan War happened sometime between 2156 and 2160, essentially in between the Enterprise episode “Terra Prime,” and the flash-forward to 2161 in “These Are the Voyages…” Although not considered canon, the Michael A. Martin novel The Romulan War attempted to reconcile the events alluded to in “Balance of Terror” with the chronology of Enterprise .

Because Strange New Worlds takes place in 2259, and the Romulan War ended in 2160, Pike’s “100 years ago” statement is pretty much right on the money. 

Asteroid Bases 

The Neutral Zone base that we see the Enterprise resupplying at the start of the episode is one of several asteroid bases that are destroyed later in the episode as well as in “Balance of Terror.” But in The Original Series episode, we were just told about these bases but never saw them.

“State of the Art Matter Synthesizers” 

There’s a bit of canon tap-dancing when Spock and Number One explain that the bases will use the raw materials of the asteroid with “state of the art matter synthesizers.” In the 2259 timeframe of Strange New Worlds , the replicators of the The Next Generation era don’t exist yet. However, in both Discovery and TOS , we glimpsed tech that was kind of like replicators, and it would seem “matter synthesizers” are their forerunner. All of this also references the Short Treks episode “Q&A,” in which Spock asks which matrix was used in the food synthesizers on the ship, and learns it was the “Una glucose matrix,” in reference to Number One herself. A similar replicator matrix, “Uno amino matrix,” was mentioned in the Picard episode “Maps and Legends,” indicating that synthesizer and replicator technology may have been heavily influenced by Una Chin- Riley. 

Nobody Has Seen a Romulan

Pike says of the Romulans, “Nobody’s ever seen one, nobody knows what they look like.” At this point in the Trek canon, most in the Federation have never seen a Romulan face-to-face. This detail comes from “Balance of Terror,” but was supported by the Enterprise episode “Minefield.”

Hansen’s Starfleet Emblem Is Different

In TOS , it was common for officers on ships that were not the Enterprise to have widely different insignia on their uniforms. Old fan lore claimed for decades that Starfleet only adopted the familiar “delta” for wide use throughout the fleet after Kirk’s five-year mission concluded in 2270. However, most of the newer series have contradicted that notion, that is, until now. Apparently, Strange New Worlds is moving closer to a point in canon in which it’s not uncommon for Starfleet personnel to rock oddly different insignia, which are unique to their starbase or starship.

Hansen Al-Salah’s insignia also pretty much matches the basic shape and design of the original Hansen from “Balance of Terror.”

Future Pike Rocks “Monster Maroon” 

When Pike from the future appears in contemporary Pike’s quarters, he’s wearing a variant of the maroon Starfleet uniform first introduced in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan . This uniform isn’t exactly like the ones worn by Kirk and the gang in all of the TOS films post- Wrath , mostly because it retains some of the detailing unique to the Strange New Worlds uniforms. But other than the sleeves and shoulders being a bit more leathery than in the classic films, this is the 2280s Starfleet uniform.

In canon, this uniform is notable because in the Prime reality it’s the uniform style that remained in service the longest, from the late 23rd century in the 2280s ( Wrath of Khan ) all the way through at least the 2340s, during the era of the Enterprise-C . As seen in the TNG episodes “Tapestry” and “Family,” Jean-Luc Picard and Jack Crusher wore this style of uniform early in their Starfleet careers, making it one of the only uniform styles worn in canon by characters from vastly different eras. Basically, now Pike, Picard, and Kirk have all worn pretty much the same uniform.

Pike sporting monster maroon also (perhaps unintentionally) recalls a storyline from the 1997 Marvel comics series Star Trek: Early Voyages , in which an alternate timeline is created where Kirk leaves Starfleet at a young age, and Pike remains the Enterprise captain well through the events of The Undiscovered Country in the 2290s. In issue #14 of that series, Pike even punches out Kirk on the cover of the comic! 

Pike’s rank pin on his shoulder strap is the same as Kirk’s pin in The Wrath of Khan , indicating in this “future” Pike is an Admiral. Because this uniform was introduced in the “Prime” timeline sometime in the 2280s, it makes sense that this version of Pike is also from that era, or perhaps even the 2290s.

Finally, “monster maroon” is mostly a nickname this uniform picked up from fan creators. It’s a “monster” because of all the Trek uniforms, it’s historically been the hardest for cosplayers to recreate. 

Klingon Monks From Boreth

Both Pikes talk about the Klingon Monks on Boreth. This references Discovery season 2, episode 12, “Through the Valley of Shadows, ” in which Pike was shown his fate on Boreth in exchange for a time crystal.

The Wedding Ceremony Is From “Balance of Terror”

At the start of “Balance of Terror,” Kirk is performing a wedding between Angela Martine and Robert Tomlinson. In “A Quality of Mercy,” Pike is performing a similar wedding, though it’s not clear if the characters are supposed to be the same. Notably, the episode inverts the deaths of the bride and groom. In “Balance of Terror,” the groom, Tomlinson, died. But in “A Quality of Mercy,” the bride is seen dead, survived by her fiancé.

Uhura Is a Full Lieutenant

Uhura’s uniform is strongly reminiscent of the same uniform she wore in TOS . Celia Rose Gooding’s green earrings are also a near-match for those worn by Nichelle Nichols in “Balance of Terror.”

Pike and Spock talk about Pike being thrown “seven years into the future.” Relevantly, in the Prime timeline, this is actually a full year after Kirk took command of the Enterprise . Most of TOS season 1 takes place in 2266 and 2267. But “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the first TOS episode (after “The Cage”), happens in 2265. This means that in terms of the “present” of Strange New Worlds , there are only six years between “now” and when Kirk should be in command of the Enterprise .

Spock References a Kelvin Universe Rule

Spock suggests that if Pike is “mentally compromised” he can no longer command the Enterprise . In the 2009 Star Trek reboot, Kirk reveals that Spock is “emotionally compromised,” and thus, has to be relieved of command. This is one of the rare instances of TV Trek referencing Starfleet rules established in the Kelvin universe.

USS Farragut

In the alternate 2266, Kirk is in command of the USS Farragut . In the Prime universe, Kirk served on the Farragut in 2255 as a lieutenant on his first “deep space” assignment. This was established mostly in the TOS episode “Obsession,” which would have taken place about a year before Discovery season 1.

“A Quality of Mercy” also reveals that Farragut is not a Constitution-class ship as some books, comics, and technical manuals had previously indicated. We don’t know if this is an early Miranda-class ship (like the Reliant ) or a class that hasn’t been defined. Interestingly, some notes in the behind-the-scenes book The Making of Star Trek indicate Kirk was in command of a “Destroyer” before becoming the captain of the Enterprise . If future seasons of Strange New Worlds reintroduce the Farragut , this vague notion could become canon.

“Balance of Terror” Dialogue and Blocking 

Much of the action lifts dialogue directly from “Balance of Terror” to the point where there are so many examples that it’s almost too much to document. Writer Henry Alonso Myers has indicated that he directly lifted from the “Balance of Terror” script whenever possible while writing this episode. In the aftershow “The Ready Room,” Anson Mount also mentioned that certain scenes were blocked to directly emulate the exact movement from “Balance of Terror.”

Some big examples:

• Uhura’s lines to Pike about losing contact with the outposts is nearly exactly the same.
• Hansen’s dialogue about the Romulan attack is basically word-for-word the same as “Balance of Terror.” “Can you see it, Enterprise ?!!!?”
• Spock’s speech in the briefing room about the Romulans retaining a “martial philosophy” and “weakness is something we dare not show” is all the same. 
• The Romulan commander’s bittersweet tribute to Pike, saying “I could have called you friend” is identical. 
• Many characters are lit with a specific emphasis on their eyes. This is exactly what director Vincent McEveety did in “Balance of Terror.”

Sam Kirk Describes Jim Kirk 

Sam mentions that Jim was “always at the top of his class,” which references “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” In that episode, we got the impression that Kirk was a great and straight-laced student. Sam also says “he doesn’t like to lose.” This, of course, references the Kobayashi Maru “No Win Scenario” from The Wrath of Khan , specifically Kirk’s line to Saavik in that film, “I don’t like to lose.” 

Fred Steiner Romulan Music Cue 

When the Romulans are revealed to look exactly like Vulcans (for the “first” time) the music from “Balance of Terror,” specifically a cue written for the Romulans, plays as we zoom in on Spock. This is actually the second time in two years that a new Trek show has played this theme. In the debut episode of Star Trek: Picard back in 2020, a similar re-phrasing of this theme was used when Narek, a Romulan, was introduced at the end of “Remembrance.” 

Romulans Love to Mess Around With Trilithium 

In a nice bit of retcon, Spock mentions the cloaked Romulan ship is “trailing trilithium fragments.” In Star Trek Generations , it was established that the Romulans were researching a trilithium weapon. And in the DS9 episode “Images in the Sand,” scanning for trilithium proved some Romulan weapons had been used.

Latest TV reviews

Inside no. 9 series 9 finale review: plodding on, star wars: the acolyte episode 3 review, the boys season 4 review: politics as usual, a romulan uncle.

In “Balance of Terror,” the Romulan commander (Mark Lenard) confided in an older Romulan colleague, only called “the Centurion,” played by John Warburton. But in “A Quality of Mercy,” the Romulan commander is questioned by a younger underling. At one point, the Romulan commander mentions that he fought with this young Romulan’s uncle, who died needlessly in another battle. Could that dead uncle be the older Centurion from the original episode? 

Because the young Romulan is the person who sends the signal to the Empire that there’s a cease-fire, that person is oddly to blame more than Pike. So, if for some reason this timeline altered the basic crew compliment of this Romulan Bird-of-Prey, then perhaps Pike wasn’t wrong to try for peace. 

Scotty Is NOT a Miracle Worker!

Although not named, we hear Scotty off-screen telling Spock he’s an “engineer not a miracle worker, Mr. Spock.” This is a double reference! Throughout The Original Series Bones often would say phrases like “I’m a doctor, not a bricklayer,” or “What am I, a doctor, or a moon shuttle conductor?” 

But Scotty claiming he’s not a miracle worker also references Star Trek III: The Search For Spock , in which Scotty reveals that he fudges his repair estimates in order to keep his “reputation as a miracle worker.” In The Voyage Home, Bones says of Scotty, “Back home, we call him the miracle worker.” 

A Photo of April and Young Pike…Wearing Velour! 

When Old Pike is checking out Young Pike’s stuff, he notices a photograph that is clearly Captain April (Adrian Holmes) and Pike (Anson Mount), but in their earlier days on the USS Enterprise , presumably when April was still captain. And interestingly, the style of uniform they’re both wearing in this blurry photo appears to check out with the velour-style uniforms from the era of “The Cage.” This seems to indicate that if we ever get some Captain April flashbacks to the 2240s, the uniforms might get even more retro . 

Spock Is the Key to Romulan Peace 

Old Pike makes it clear that Spock is “the only chance for lasting peace between the Federation and the Romulans in any timeline.” This mostly references the events of The Next Generation , specifically “Unification I and II,” in which Spock goes undercover and tries to help support a peace movement on Romulus. Spock also tries to help the Romulans survive a supernova in the events of Star Trek 2009. 

By the time of Discovery in 3189, in the episode “Unification III,” Romulans and Vulcans are reunited fully, and Spock is largely credited with getting that process started

“He’s Got Things to Do”

Pike also mentions that Spock has “things to do…fate of the galaxy type things.” This could reference many things, including:

• Without Spock’s mind-meld, V’ger might have destroyed Earth in The Motion Picture .
• Spock realizes the alien probe in The Voyage Hom e is attempting to communicate with whales. If he hadn’t figured that out, Earth would have been destroyed by that probe.
• Spock forces the Federation into peace talks with the Klingons in The Undiscovered Country , which, obviously, saved millions of lives by preventing all-out war.

Kirk’s Background

As Pike is getting to know Kirk in the alternate timeline, we hear Kirk say,“I was born in Iowa, my father George, was the first officer on the Kelvin before we moved to Tarsus colony.”

Kirk being from Iowa was first established in “The Deadly Years,” and has been repeated throughout the franchise many times. The reference to his father George on the Kelvin is a direct nod to the 2009 J.J. Abrams reboot, which indicates that in the Prime timeline, George wouldn’t have died on the Kelvin , because that temporal incursion would have never taken place. Furthermore, the last thing Kirk mentions is “the Tarsus colony,” which references the TOS episode “The Conscience of the King,” in which we learned that as a very young man, Kirk witnessed a horrifying massacre. 

At the end of the episode, back in the “present,” Pike calls up Kirk’s file. On the screen, we can clearly see that Kirk is “currently” on the USS Farragut , but before that, he was “assigned” to Starfleet Academy, and before that , he was on the USS Republic .

Why was Kirk at Starfleet Academy after he served on the USS Republic ? Well, leaving aside the fact that we know cadets often serve on ships as part of their training, this little detail is actually an amazing deep cut. In “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” it was established that “Lt. Kirk” taught classes at Starfleet Academy. Meaning, that after Kirk’s tour on the Republic , he went back to Starfleet Academy, basically teaching as a graduate student. (Spock did the same thing in the alternate timeline in Star Trek 2009.)

The Republic being Kirk’s first ship comes directly from the episode “Court Martial,” though some apocrypha suggests that Pike’s radiation accident also occurs on the Republic . This would mean that Kirk’s first ship is also Pike’s last ship — though it also seems unlikely that connection is actually canon.

Number One Cliffhanger 

When Number One is arrested at the end of the episode, Captain Batel (Melanie Scrofano) says “she’s an Illyrian.” This is a reference to episode 3 of Strange New Worlds , “Ghosts of Illyria, ” in which we learned Una has been hiding her genetic modifications. Interestingly, this cliffhanger is very similar to the Lower Decks season 2 finale , insofar as the final scene featured a beloved officer (in that case Captain Freeman) getting arrested by Starfleet unfairly. This means that both season 3 of Lower Decks and season 2 of Strange New Worlds will both have to deal with clearing the good name of a Starfleet comrade, no matter what.

RECAP | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 206 - 'Lost in Translation'

It helps to have friends.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains story details and plot points for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

StarTrek.com

Previously on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , the U.S.S. Enterprise suffered a tragic loss when their landing party is stranded on the barren planet of Valeo Beta V. Hemmer, the ship's chief engineer, sacrificed himself after being infected with Gorn eggs, in order to give his friends and colleagues an opportunity to escape. Following Hemmer's sacrifice, Spock was unable to control his emotions, allowing his anger and pain to spill out. Acknowledging his human half, Spock begins to explore the feelings he was trying to suppress.

Meanwhile, La'An Noonien-Singh, the ship's head of security, lands in another timeline with events that were never supposed to play out. Worse yet, an agent from the Department of Temporal Investigations strongly requests she not share any details of what she experienced with anyone else.

Uhura reminds us that "the people you love the most can cause you the most pain, but it's the people you love that can mend your heart when you feel broken."

In " Lost in Translation ," Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound. When the noise triggers terrifying hallucinations, she enlists an unlikely assistant to help her track down the source.

• Christopher Pike
• Nyota Uhura
• Una Chin-Riley (Number One)
• Erica Ortegas
• Dr. Joseph M'Benga
• James T. Kirk
• Christine Chapel
• La’An Noonien-Singh

• U.S.S. Enterprise
• Bannon's Nebula
• Bavali Station

At Bannon's Nebula on the edge of explored space, the U.S.S. Enterprise enters a stellar nursery rich in deuterium — starship fuel — where the Federation is building an outpost to collect and refine the invaluable resource. Captain Christopher Pike stares out at the sprawling facility and its surrounding beauty from the Bridge, waxing poetic until he notices Ensign Nyota Uhura’s fatigue is distracting her from his speech. He jovially advises her not to burn the candle at both ends.

Commander Una Chin-Riley enters and congratulates Pike on his temporary promotion to Fleet Captain, as he now commands the Enterprise , U.S.S. Farragut , and the Bavali Station until the refinery is brought online. Lt. Erica Ortegas turns from the helm and remarks that it is the shiniest gas station she’s ever seen. Ever the explorer, Pike emphasizes that the facility will unlock half the quadrant and be the jumping off point for the next great age of exploration. Lt. Spock notes the nursery’s proximity to Gorn Space, and the captain sadly acknowledges the Gorn’s growing presence factored into Starfleet’s plans. At Spock’s suggestion, Pike orders Ortegas to find a dense pocket of deuterium. The helm officer prepares to “rip some donuts” and begins refueling the Enterprise by activating the Bussard collectors on the ship’s nacelles.

"Lost in Translation"

A sharp metallic distortion reverberates in Uhura’s ear, but no signal has been recorded. Pike attributes it to a glitch, but the dedicated officer resolves to run a full diagnostic. She heads to a compartment within a nacelle, where she replays a video of Chief Engineer Hemmer demonstrating how to recalibrate the communications array. Commander Pelia, Hemmer’s successor, stumbles upon Uhura and listens as she recollects that, since the antenna assembly goes through the nacelles and she often requested recalibrations, Hemmer provided her with instructions on how to perform the procedure herself. Pelia nods, stating that the Aenar had been one of her best students — well, actually he was “just okay,” but he made something of himself nonetheless. The awkwardness intensifies when Pelia asks why Uhura has never spoken to her before, but the engineer leaves once Uhura welcomes her to the Enterprise . Uhura resumes Hemmer’s file, smiling wistfully as she watches him play a practical joke on her.*

Wearing his Fleet Captain delta badge, Pike patrols the corridors with Number One and comments on the refinery being two months behind schedule. Starfleet attributed the trouble to “organization difficulties,” so Pike believes the facility requires Una’s signature brand of managerial fervor to get it back on track. Elsewhere in the hallways, Uhura boards a turbolift and hears the strange, metallic ringing again. Out of nowhere, she spots a grotesque, zombie-like version of Hemmer and staggers back in fear.

In Sickbay, Doctor M’Benga runs a neurological analysis on Uhura and determines she was hallucinating. While working in the nacelle, she had been exposed to a small amount of refined deuterium. Coupled with her rewatch of Hemmer’s file, the mild case of deuterium poisoning seems to explain why she hallucinated. M’Benga gives her medicine to deal with the symptoms, but quickly notices that her serotonin and cortisone levels indicate she has not been sleeping. The doctor prescribes that Uhura get much-needed rest before going back on duty.

On the Federation outpost, Una oversees repairs in the dimly lit facility. Pelia approaches, diagnosing the situation as even worse than it appears. According to the maintenance logs, the refinery has been breaking down faster than anyone can fix it. Pelia suspects an underlying issue, but Number One resists her input.

Attempting to follow M’Benga’s orders, Uhura struggles to fall asleep in her quarters aboard the Enterprise . As she sits up in bed, she immediately finds herself standing outdoors in an open field with thick smoke billowing in the distance. The auditory distortion returns until she awakes back in her room.

Lt. James T. Kirk beams over from the Farragut and is greeted by his brother, Lt. George Samuel Kirk. Sam welcomes “Jimmy,” and the two proceed to the bar in the Enterprise ’s forward lounge. Sharing a drink, James asks about Sam’s work in xenoanthropology, but Sam senses the question is merely a polite prelude for James’ own news. Newly promoted, James will become the Farragut ’s first officer in a few months.

Clearly displeased, Sam notes that the previous person to hold the record for being the youngest first officer in Starfleet history was their father, George Kirk, aboard the U.S.S. Kelvin .** Irritated by Sam’s demeanor, James points out that their father gave Sam his first name — though Sam chooses not to use it — so he had to do something to keep up. Frustrated by James’ ambition, Sam believes his father isn’t proud of him. Sam downs his drink and walks off.

Back on the station, Una rejoices as life support is stabilized and power is restored — at least temporarily. The lights brighten only to cut out once again, and Pelia’s team has found something in the fuel distribution system. The engineer had disobeyed Number One’s orders, opting to dig around the functioning systems and discovering evidence of sabotage.

Nurse Christine Chapel contemplates a chess move in the Enterprise ’s lounge. Across from her, Spock raises a concern — he wishes to inform Starfleet about their fraternization. Chapel pauses in thought then describes human relationships as being like Schrödinger's cat. They exist or they don’t depending on who is observing them. Spock interrupts, intending to state that is not how quantum superposition actually works. Chapel admits it is a messy metaphor, theorizing that if they told anyone about their relationship, their “quantum cat” might disappear. Uhura approaches and confides in the duo. She first heard the disturbing sound on the Bridge, before her deuterium exposure, yet Spock and Chapel doubt anything is amiss.

Feeling defeated, Uhura departs their table and takes a seat at the bar, where James T. Kirk voices his opinion that her Vulcan buddy should protect his queen. Kirk introduces himself, but Uhura has heard of James’ reputation from Sam and believes he is hitting on her. James assures her he merely thinks she looks like she needs a friend. Uhura respectfully declines the friendship and withdraws from the conversation. Strolling through the corridors, the metallic ringing reemerges, and Uhura turns to find a darkened hallway littered with bloody corpses. She sees a disturbing doppelgänger of herself gripping a knife and reacts with a defensive punch. The hallucination ends, and she looks down to the floor to find that she has actually punched James T. Kirk.***

His nose bloodied, Kirk gets to his feet. Uhura is apologetic, but James refuses her offer to bring him to Sickbay. Having witnessed her experiencing the hallucination, he knows she has bigger things to worry about than being written up for striking a superior officer. The two travel to Uhura’s quarters, where she employs a dermal regenerator to repair his nose. Despite their rough start, Kirk believes Uhura’s assessment of her condition. He wishes to help, and the first step is checking with the Farragut ’s doctor to see if any similar cases have been reported there.

With the refinery’s lighting grid and internal sensors offline, Una and Pelia maneuver through the facility’s shadowy depths. They locate their saboteur — a terrified Starfleet officer who frantically questions whether his new visitors are real. Una places a hand on his shoulder, asking the lieutenant, who relays his name to be Saul Ramon, why he sabotaged the station. Ramon is still seeking to discern hallucinations from reality, so Number One flips open her communicator and notifies the Enterprise of the medical emergency.

Curled up on the floor of her quarters, Uhura is startled by the sounds of explosions and the ship’s Red Alert klaxons. She hurries to the Bridge as Pike bellows that they are under attack. The viewscreen cracks and buckles, the change in atmosphere sucking the crew into space. Uhura comes to her senses, now sitting at her station, the bridge intact and free of any alarms. Pike observes that she is supposed to be on medical leave, but the ensign is speechless. The conversation between the two resumes in the Ready Room, where they are soon joined by James Kirk. The Farragut ’s first officer expresses his appreciation for finally meeting Pike.**** Apparently, his vessel’s doctor received a call the previous day about Lt. Saul Ramon seeing things that weren’t there.

The three visit Ramon in Sickbay, and M’Benga highlights the damage to the speech and language centers of the lieutenant’s brain. Ramon experiences an intense auditory episode, prompting him to grab one of the doctor’s medical instruments. He slashes M’Benga’s chest, causing a minor wound, and speeds out of the room. Kirk reassures Uhura that this is a real event and follows Pike out the door in pursuit of Ramon. Phasers drawn, Pike and a security officer proceed down a corridor as the lights lose power. Rounding a corner, they find an unconscious crew member with a severe gash outside of Astrometrics. Pike calls for M’Benga, while Lt. La’An Noonien-Singh marches to the scene and indicates Ramon cut the power conduits. The captain and La’An continue toward Engineering.

Meanwhile, Uhura and James Kirk search another darkened hallway. The ensign endures a brief hallucination, momentarily unable to find Kirk. He reappears, but Uhura is shaken and chooses to return to Sickbay. Kirk proceeds on his own, eventually running into Pike and La’An. The security chief calls him by his first name, a fact which does not go unnoticed by Pike. Ramon must have found a place to hide, so the two parties double back. La’An watches Kirk retreat for a moment before joining her captain.

Alone in the halls, Uhura spots blood on the access tunnel to the port nacelle and reports the update. James isn’t far, but the ensign opts not to wait. Entering the nacelle compartment, Uhura notices Ramon jostling with circuitry and details that she has been dealing with similar hallucinations. She lowers her phaser and tries grounding him in reality by mentioning her name and rank, her home in Kenya, her cat Kamili, and the memory of her dad playing the piano. Ramon initially stares at her unresponsively, then suddenly moves to a console and initiates the fuel pod ejection sequence. The two fight hand-to-hand as explosions ripple through the nacelle. James appears behind Uhura, holding on to her and calling for an emergency transport. Kirk and Uhura are beamed out, but an expanding eruption tears through the hull and pulls Ramon to his death in the cold of space.

Standing in Sickbay, Captain Pike is contemplative as Chapel covers up the crew member who was injured outside of Astrometrics — she did not survive. The captain sits next to Uhura on a biobed, promising that they will come up with a solution for her hallucinations. After displaying his confidence in Uhura, Pike leaves to confer with Chin-Riley about the repairs to the refinery and decrypt Ramon’s files.

James Kirk leans against the wall in the hallway near Sickbay, perusing a PADD until La’An says hello. Remembering La’An from her recent transmission about Sam’s personnel file, Kirk divulges that he’s been waiting there to help Uhura. He then recounts how his family chased his father around from one Starfleet posting to another, yet he still barely saw his dad during his childhood. James’ mother explained that George Kirk was helping people that really needed it. La’An understands that, as a kid, James interpreted this as his father caring more for strangers than he did his son. This gave young James the impression that helping total strangers must be important. As someone aided by Starfleet, La’An agrees. With a smirk, Kirk reminds her that he hasn’t forgotten that she owes him a drink.

Chin-Riley and Pelia assess the routing system aboard the outpost, and the chief engineer interrogates Number One as to why she has a problem with her. Describing Una’s dismissal of the notion as malarkey, Pelia presses the issue. The first officer slams down her PADD and opines that Pelia is sloppy, doesn’t respect protocols, is too loose with discipline, doesn’t follow orders unless she agrees with them, and has crumbs on her uniform! In Una’s eyes, Pelia is a space hippie. The engineer accuses Number One of hiding behind order and discipline because it kills her when someone has the nerve to question her decisions. Una retaliates, stating she outranks Pelia despite the engineer having joined Starfleet before she had been born. Pelia shakes her head and reports she will have the station online soon.

In the ensign’s quarters, Uhura and James Kirk review a log in which Ramon recalls having the same kind of visual and auditory hallucinations as the communications officer. Based on the dates of the logs, Uhura estimates she has a day and a half until she loses her mind. Kirk encourages her to take a break, reminding her that the mess is serving real cookies which have not been prepared in the matter synthesizer. Unamused, the ensign shares that this isn’t the first time she has imagined someone who wasn’t there.

After her parents and brother died in a shuttle accident, Uhura thought she could see the crash site whenever she closed her eyes, despite not being present at the time. Hemmer’s death reopened the old wound for Uhura, who can’t comprehend how other people are able to face death. Rather than tell her a comforting fairytale, Kirk maintains that their Starfleet jobs put them up against death often. They may not like it, but they must face it. Kirk urges Uhura not to let death win, encouraging her to fight back and not let it prevent her from holding onto the memories of Hemmer and her family. Tears stream down Uhura’s cheeks, and James breaks the tension by offering to go get her a cookie from the mess.

Emboldened, Uhura retrieves her PADD and watches Hemmer’s pre-recorded lesson, a smile emerging through the pain. On-screen, Hemmer warns her not to burn out the receiver, and the comment catches her attention in the present. Uhura crosses paths with James on his voyage back from the mess — cookie in hand — and presents a startling theory. Ramon and Uhura experienced increased activity in their brains’ language center, so what if someone had been trying to communicate with them? If their signal was too strong, it might have burned out his brain entirely.

Uhura goes with James to visit Sam in his lab. Sam recalls a fringe theory which proposes that extra-dimensional lifeforms could poke into our space and attach themselves to atoms from our dimension. James puts the information into his own terms, wryly asking Uhura if invisible aliens are using her brain as a universal translator. Uhura believes her mind interprets the simple messages through her thoughts and memories. The visions are essentially a vocabulary, and the ensign reflects on their potential meanings. The walls closing in on her symbolized feeling trapped, and she attacked herself with a knife because the Enterprise ’s crew is responsible. Factoring in her visions about the Bridge’s destruction, the dead bodies in the hall, and a zombie-like Hemmer, Uhura realizes that the unknown beings are trying to escape and that the Enterprise is somehow killing the ones they love. The Kirk brothers add that, if the lifeforms live in the nebula and — in a way — are the deuterium, refining the substance is basically torturing them. Uhura immediately contacts Pike to prevent the outpost from going online, but the captain responds that it became functional five minutes ago.

Chin-Riley and Pelia tackle the problem from the station itself, but none of its automated systems will respond. Uhura and James sprint into the turbolift, and the ensign finds herself in the middle of an open field once again. This time around, she spots a crashed shuttle and stands inside of it, summoning the courage to walk forward... and she reappears on the Bridge alongside James. Uhura briefs Pike, expressing that they’re killing the creatures living in the nebula’s deuterium by pulling them into their fuel pods. Ramon died trying to save the beings. The refinery can’t be shut down, so Uhura declares they need to destroy it.

Uhura and James assure Pike that they are certain they are correct. The captain orders an emergency evacuation of the station, and the Enterprise and Farragut vent the deuterium from their fuel pods. Shuttles and escape craft flee the facility until no lifesigns remain. At Uhura’s command, La’An launches a volley of photon torpedoes that rip apart the refinery. The ensign hallucinates a healthy, smiling, and nodding image of Hemmer. Uhura confirms that the beings are safe, and the vision slowly fades. She laments the facility’s destruction, but Pike promises to take any blowback from Starfleet. He admits he could also say someone’s brash influence — he gives James T. Kirk a good-humored glance — had rubbed off on Uhura. Pike outlines the next steps — recover the escape pods, get out of the nebula, contact Admiral Nagawa, and then take a nap.

En route back to the Enterprise , Una confronts Pelia with the truth — the engineer had been her professor when she took the Starship Maintenance 307 course at Starfleet Academy and gave her a “C” in the course. Pelia already knows and insists Number One deserved that “C” grade due to her sloppy final paper. She sees through Una’s facade, arguing that the underlying reason for the first officer’s unease with her is Hemmer. Pelia replaced him, so the sadness returns every time Una glimpses her. Given her lifetimes of experience, Pelia empathizes and smiles, offering not to contradict Una if she wishes to continue believing the “C” is the root cause.

A live band entertains the audience in the Enterprise ’s lounge, and Uhura shows pictures of her family to James Kirk. Pondering why the beings communicated with her, James announces they found the perfect person — a good listener. Sam approaches, mending fences by sharing that he is proud of his brother’s promotion. Expecting a similar apology from James, Sam lingers until he realizes James is not taking the bait. Annoyed, Sam tells his brother to have fun on his stupid little ship while he remains assigned to the Federation’s flagship.

James eyes Sam as he walks off, declaring his brother to be — a voice completes the sentence for him — “frustrating.” The Enterprise ’s science officer stands next to their table, and Uhura introduces James T. Kirk to Spock. Uhura grins as the two shake hands. James invites the Vulcan to join them, so Spock takes a seat. The three begin to engage in quiet conversation as the band’s music fills the lounge.

History [ ]

Farragut was commissioned in June, 2244 . ( FASA )

In 2254 , Farragut was under the command of Captain Steve Garrovick . Lieutenant James Kirk , a recent graduate of Starfleet Academy , started his first deep space assignment aboard Farragut . ( TOS : " Obsession ")

At some point during Garrovick's tenure as CO, Farragut was monitoring a non-allied Class M planet that was experimenting with lambda radiation . ( Chronicle )

Kirk led his first planetary survey mission on Tyree's Planet (aka Neural , Zeta Boötis III) in 2255 . He befriended Tyree , leader of the Hill People , a primitive tribe of hunter-gatherers living in huts and caves. The two were ceremonially made brothers. ( TOS : " A Private Little War ")

In 2257 , Farragut encountered a dangerous dikironium cloud creature (or "Vampire Cloud") near Tycho IV . The Vampire Cloud killed 200 members of the Farragut 's crew, including Captain Garrovick. Lieutenant Kirk, due to his own hesitation, blamed himself for the deaths ( TOS : " Obsession ", TOS novel: Debt of Honor ; TOS novel: The Ashes of Eden ). Farragut returned home for refit and the executive officer , Commander Emilio Alvarez , was promoted to captain and given command of the ship.

In 2266 , Captain Alvarez retired from Starfleet after an incident that left him disabled. Commander John Carter , of the USS Potemkin , was promoted to captain and was assigned as the new commanding officer of the Farragut . ( Starship Farragut )

A few years later, Captain Carter was promoted and transferred. Science Officer Tacket was promoted to captain and became commanding officer of the USS Constitution . Chief Engineer Smithfield was also promoted to captain; she succeeded Carter as the Farragut 's commanding officer.

In 2273 , the ship was refitted. It went on to serve for another two decades before it was decommissioned. ( Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era )

Alternate timelines [ ]

The Farragut , Enterprise -A and Daedalus . ( STNV: "In Harm's Way")

Doomsday War [ ]

• In this timeline (resulting from the destruction of the Enterprise under the command of Christopher Pike in 2254 by a time-traveling Planet Killer ), the Farragut was commanded by James T. Kirk following the death of Captain Garrovick. The crew of the Farragut , under Kirk, remained relatively the same as the crew of the Enterprise in the unaltered timeline with very few exceptions (most noticeably, a Klingon First Officer, named Kargh ). Through the remainder of the Doomsday War , the ship and crew shared many of the same missions as the crew of the Enterprise in the unaltered history, including the discovery of the Guardian of Forever . ( Star Trek: New Voyages : " In Harm's Way ")

Background information [ ]

No official registry or class was established for the Farragut during the initial run of the Star Trek television series. During the episode " Obsession ", the vessel was referred to as a starship ; a term that was used throughout the entire series to describe the USS Enterprise and other vessels of a similar configuration, which we would later come to know as the Constitution class. (" The Ultimate Computer ", " The Omega Glory ", " The Doomsday Machine ", " The Tholian Web ")

Several publications (most notably Stephen E. Whitfield's " The Making of Star Trek " and Franz Joseph's " Star Fleet Technical Manual ") list Farragut as a Constitution-class heavy cruiser, with the registry NCC-1702. The Technical Manual also listed the vessel as being "lost in the line of duty". Although there is canon evidence that nearly half the crew were wiped out, there is no canon evidence to support the claim that the vessel itself was lost.

More recent and official sources, including the official Star Trek website (startrek.com), and Michael Okuda's " Star Trek Encyclopedia " and " Star Trek Chronology " confirm that the ship was a Constitution -class vessel; however, they list the ship's registry as NCC-1647. This registry was assigned by Greg Jein, a model maker who worked with Okuda on Star Trek: The Next Generation and the later incarnations of the Star Trek franchise.

It should be noted that since the beginning of " Star Trek: Remastered ", a project which is produced by CBS/Paramount to bring TOS into the twenty-first century with Hi-definition quality video, sound and new, computer-generated special effects (CGI), the Jein registries have been consistently used when any other Constitution-class ship has been seen (" The Ultimate Computer ", " The Omega Glory ", " The Tholian Web "), giving credence to the Jein list as "official" or "canon", while simultaneously dismissing the registries listed by both Whitfield and Joseph.

Although it is apparent that CBS/Paramount has officially embraced the Jein registries (and in so doing, the 1647 registry for the Farragut ) as canon, it must also be noted that since the USS Farragut was only mentioned in TOS dialogue and was never (and is not likely to be) seen in either an original or remastered episode of the original series, her registry, technically, remains conjectural.
