captain of star trek enterprise

Screen Rant

Star trek: every captain of the enterprise.

Star Trek has featured many starships named Enterprise. Along with Kirk and Picard, here's every Enterprise Captain from each movie and TV series.

Here is a breakdown of all USS Enterprise Captains across the various Star Trek movies, live-action series, comics, and books. Beginning with Star Trek: The Original Series , the Starship Enterprise has been at the very heart of the enduring sci-fi franchise created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966. Of course, the two most famous Captains of the Enterprise are James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who shared the big screen together in 1994's Star Trek Generations, but Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) is quickly achieving greatness in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Star Trek has introduced other successful spinoffs set on different starships like Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Discovery , as well as the space station-based Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . But, in the eyes of many fans, it isn't truly Star Trek unless it's about the Enterprise . The men and women who have commanded the Enterprise rank among the greatest heroes in Star Trek, because they know that when they sit in that chair, they can make a real difference. These are the accomplishments of all USS Enterprise Captains from every TV show, movie, and alternate reality.

The 22nd Century - USS Enterprise NX-01

Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) - Star Trek: Enterprise 's titular starship was the first United Earth starship that could travel at Warp 5. Captain Archer commanded it during its missions which created pivotal alliances that ultimately led to the founding of Star Trek 's United Federation of Planets, which Archer presided over in 2161 – marking him among the most important of all USS Enterprise Captains.

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NX-0002

Admiral/Captain Charles Rasmussen - A Federation Starfleet Admiral and instructor at Starfleet Academy, Charles Rasmussen captained the Constitution-class ship NX-0002, during which Rasmussen also sacrificed his life to save his crew. This occurs in an issue of the Star Trek: The Original Series comics called "Shakedown."

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain/Admiral Robert April - Captain April first appeared in Star Trek: The Animated Series , where he was voiced by James Doohan. In the 23rd century, Robert April was the first Captain of the Constitution -class USS Enterprise NCC-1701 deep space heavy cruiser when it launched in 2245. Christopher Pike was his First Officer during the starship's first five-year mission. Admiral April (Adrian Holmes) is a recurring character in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Captain/Fleet Captain Christopher Pike - The Captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , Christopher Pike leads a new five-year mission of exploration. Pike counts Enterprise legends like Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck) and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) among his crew. In a few years, Fleet Captain Pike will suffer a horrific accident that leaves him trapped in a wheelchair. Jeffrey Hunter played Pike, Leonard Nimoy played Spock, and Majel Barrett played Number One in the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage."

Vice Admiral/Captain Katrina Cornwell (Jayne Brook) - Starfleet Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell temporarily assumed command of the USS Enterprise and then later transferred it back to Pike in 2258. This was part of the efforts to keep the Enterprise out of the war with the Klingons. At the Battle near Xahea, Cornwell ends up sacrificing her life in order to save the ship from an undetonated photon torpedo. Before that, in 2257, Cornwell also temporarily commanded the USS Discovery.

Captain/Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) - The most legendar y Enterprise Captain of the 23rd century, Kirk's five-year mission was seen in Star Trek: The Original Series. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) held the dual role of the Enterprise 's First Officer and Science Officer. Kirk's Starship Enterprise engaged in numerous pivotal missions that resulted in Kirk's promotion to Admiral at the end of his voyages. Outside of the main series and movies (and often even outside of the Star Trek universe), Captain James T. Kirk continues to be referenced in animated series such as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy.

Captain Zarlo - In the Star Trek comic book series, Kirk gets assigned to take on a secret mission against the Klingons on the planet of Mobita, and Captain Zarlo gets assigned to replace Kirk as Captain of the Enterprise.

Captain Willard Decker (Stephen Collins) - In Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Captain Will Decker was in command of the retrofitted Starship Enterprise when Admiral Kirk demoted him to First Officer and took command of the mission to intercept V'Ger. Decker merged with V'Ger at the end of the film and was listed as "missing in action".

Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy) - In 2285, Spock was promoted to Captain and commanded the Enterprise , which was primarily used as a training vessel. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , Admiral Kirk once again assumed command when Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) stole the Genesis Device, which resulted in Spock's death.

Captain Lawrence H. Styles (James B. Sikking) - The arrogant and appropriately named Styles was actually the captain of the experimental USS Excelsior , which chased but failed to catch up to the Enterprise , ending up stolen and used in Kirk's mission to resurrect Spock. In the Star Trek novel "Prime Directive," Styles temporarily assumed command over the Enterprise during its refit after it was severely damaged. Styles has a similar attitude to Kirk, which is why they severely dislike each other (and mainly why their dynamic works).

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A

Captain James T. Kirk - After stealing the Enterprise to resurrect Spock, and subsequently saving Earth from a space probe seeking to communicate with humpback whales in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , Admiral Kirk was demoted to Captain and given command of the new USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. Kirk's Enterprise-A in Star Trek V : The Final Frontie r and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country met God and helped secure peace with the Klingon Empire before the Enterprise-A was decommissioned.

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B

Captain John Harriman (Alan Ruck) - The Excelsior -class USS Enterprise-B was launched in 2293 under the command of Captain John Harriman. Their shakedown cruise is infamous for encountering the Nexus, which resulted in the presumed death of Captain Kirk, as seen in the prologue of Star Trek Generations.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C

Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neill) - The Ambassador -class USS Enterprise-C made only one appearance, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". The Enterprise-C was meant to be destroyed at Narendra III while defending a Klingon outpost from a Romulan attack, but it fell through a time vortex that altered the timeline. Captain Garrett died before the Enterprise-C could return to its proper era and set the timeline right.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) - Star Trek: The Next Generation 's Galaxy -class USS Enterprise-D was designated as the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Enterprise-D's numerous missions involved multiple first contacts with new species, diplomatic and military engagements, and scientific pursuits. The Enterprise-D was destroyed on Veridian III in Star Trek Generations but the D was rebuilt and saved the galaxy one last time in Star Trek: Picard season 3.

Acting Captain William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) - In TNG 's "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter, Captain Picard was abducted by the Borg and turned into Locutus. Commander William Riker became the Enterprise-D's Acting Captain and led the successful rescue of Picard and defeat of the Borg, after which Picard resumed his role as Captain of the Enterprise.

Captain Edward Jellico (Ronny Cox) - Perhaps the most despised Captain of the Enterprise, Edward Jellico was assigned to take over the Federation flagship when Picard went on a secret mission and was captured and tortured by the Cardassians in the "Chain of Command" two-parter. After alienating the crew and clashing with Riker, Jellico returned the Enterprise-D back to Picard once he was rescued.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E

Captain Jean-Luc Picard - The Sovereign -class USS Enterprise-E was the most advanced starship in the Federation when it was assigned to Captain Picard prior to Star Trek: First Contact. Continuing as the Federation flagship, the Enterprise-E was the setting of three Star Trek: The Next Generation movies and the crew successfully faced the Borg, the Son'a, and the Remans led by Picard's clone, Shinzon (Tom Hardy).

Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) - Captain Picard was promoted to Admiral and left the USS Enterprise-E to lead the Federation's mission to rescue the Romulans from their sun going supernova. Worf was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise , but the ship was lost under mysterious circumstances. In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Worf insisted what happened to the E was "not my fault."

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F

Admiral Elizabeth Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy) - The Odyssey -class USS Enterprise-F made its lone appearance in Star Trek: Picard season 3. Under the command of Admiral Shelby, the F was intended to lead Starfleet's Frontier Day celebration before the starship was retired. Tragically, the Enterprise-F and the rest of the assembled Starfleet were assimilated by the Borg, and Shelby was apparently killed at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3.

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) - In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Commodore Geordi La Forge oversaw the Fleet Museum on Athan Prime where he painstakingly restored the USS Enterprise-D in secret. Geordi got to unveil his surprise to Admiral Picard and his fellow Enterprise-D crew mates as they warped off to save the galaxy on Frontier Day. When Picard beamed to the Borg Cube to rescue his son, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), Geordi became Acting Captain of the Enterprise-D. La Forge led the Enterprise's assault against the Borg Cube and successfully rescued Picard and friends before ending the threat of the Borg, at last.

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G

Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) - The Constitution III-class USS Titan-A was rechristened as the USS Enterprise-G at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3 . The Titan's First Officer, Seven of Nine, was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise, with Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) as her First Officer and Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) appointed as Special Counselor to the Captain. Seven also makes history as the first LGBTQI Captain of the Enterprise.

Star Trek Alternate Reality Enterprise Captains

The 22nd century mirror universe - iss enterprise nx-01.

Captain Maximilian Forrest (Vaughn Armstrong) - In the Mirror Universe, the NX-01 ISS Enterprise was commanded by Captain Forrest. In the Star Trek: Enterprise "In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter, Forrest engaged in a tug-of-war for control of the Enterprise with Commander Jonathan Archer until he was killed by Tholians. However, Archer took command of the USS Defiant, a 23rd-century Constitutio n-class starship from the Prime Universe.

23rd Century United Earth Fleet Timeline - USS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) - In an alternate reality created by Romulan interference in Earth's 21st-century history, Captain James T. Kirk commanded the USS Enterprise, a starship in the United Earth Fleet . The UEF was mired in an endless war with the Romulans, which humanity was losing. Kirk and Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) traveled back to 21st-century Toronto to reset the course of history back to Star Trek's proper Prime Timeline, but Captain Kirk was tragically shot and killed by a Romulan time traveler named Sera (Adelaide Kane) in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 3, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow."

The 23rd Century Mirror Universe - ISS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain Christopher Pike - The ISS Enterprise' s original Captain was assassinated by James T. Kirk prior to the events of the Star Trek: The Original Series season 2 episode, "Mirror, Mirror".

Captain James T. Kirk - After he killed Pike, Captain Kirk maintained his control over the Enterprise thanks to a device called the Tantalus Field, which allowed him to vaporize his enemies remotely. Kirk was briefly switched with his Prime Universe counterpart, who posed as the Mirror Kirk until they were switched back to their proper realities.

Captain Spock - When the Mirror Kirk returned to the ISS Enterprise , Spock relieved him of command, took the Tantalus Field, and also Kirk's mistress Marlena Moreau (Barbara Luna).

"All Good Things..." Timeline - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Admiral William T. Riker - In the future reality seen in TNG 's series finale, "All Good Things..." , the refurbished Enterprise-D (which had a third nacelle allowing the starship to reach Warp 13) was Riker's personal flagship.

26th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-J

Captain Dax - In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Azati Prime", Captain Archer was brought to a potential 26th-century timeline where the Universe -class U.S.S. Enterprise-J was under the command of Captain Dax, a Trill who hosts the Dax symbiote that once joined with Jadzia (Terry Farrell) and Ezri (Nicole de Boer) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

J.J. Abrams Star Trek Kelvin Timeline - USS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) - In the alternate Kevin timeline created by J.J. Abrams' Star Trek 2009 reboot, Christopher Pike was Captain of the Enterprise, which was the Federation flagship, when Starfleet mobilized to save Vulcan from the time-traveling Romulan named Nero (Eric Bana).

Acting Captain Spock (Zachary Quinto) - After Pike was abducted by Nero, First Officer Spock became Acting Captain, which was challenged by cadet James T. Kirk, who later assumed command of the Enterprise as Acting Captain, leading to Nero's defeat.

Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) - As thanks for saving the Earth from Nero, Kirk was promoted to Captain and given command of the Enterprise. Kirk remained Captain in Star Trek Into Darkness and then launched a five-year mission of exploration.

Kelvin Timeline - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A

Captain James T. Kirk - Three years into their five-year mission, the Enterprise was destroyed by Krall (Idris Elba). After Kirk saved the Starbase USS Yorktown from Krall, he was given command of the newly-built Constitution -class USS Enterprise-A at the conclusion of Star Trek Beyond .

Star Trek's Enterprise Captains, Ranked From Worst To Best

With over a dozen movies and a growing number of television series, the  Star Trek  franchise boasts an impressive list of captains . And we're pretty confident that there isn't a single captain that at least one  Trek  fan doesn't call their favorite. After all, there are plenty of debates about whether Picard is better than Kirk, whether Janeway is better than Sisko, and so on and so forth. It's all subjective, and for the most part, it's all in good fun. 

But with so many captains now a part of the  Trek  universe, we thought we'd narrow in on a more specific question. Who are the best and worst captains of the many ships with the name of the vessel that started it all, the  Enterprise ? After all, we've been introduced to quite a few of them over the years, even beyond the more recognizable leads of Kirk, Picard, and Archer.

In order to answer this question, we're sticking to Enterprise  captains of the Prime  Star Trek timeline. That's not meant as disrespect to fans of the Kelvin timeline , but if we consider those captains, then we open it up to all the other alternate timeline  Enterprise  captains, like those from the Mirror Universe , from non-canonical media, and even that shaggy-bearded Will Riker from the Borg-ruled timeline in  The Next Generation 's ( TNG ) "Parallels." And since we don't have as much bandwidth as your average Starfleet supercomputer, we've got to make tough choices. 

John Harriman isn't ready for the challenge

In the opening scene of 1994's  Star Trek: Generations , we meet the bottom captain on our list — Captain John Harriman (Alan Ruck) of the Enterprise -B. The ship's maiden voyage is meant as little more than an opportunity to show off for the press, and to celebrate the occasion, James Kirk (William Shatner) and some of his retired officers are welcomed aboard as honored guests. Harriman only has a quick trip around Earth's solar system planned, but things get more complicated when they pick up a distress call from ships caught in a severe gravimetric distortion. 

Initially, Harriman tries to get another ship to answer the call, giving the excuse that this new Enterprise  lacks the crew and the outfitting. Pressured by the presence of the legendary Kirk and by the press, Harriman decides to get involved. Once arriving at the distortion causing all the trouble, Harriman is hesitant to get too close. Eventually, he swallows his pride and asks Kirk for his suggestions.

Now, we need to be fair to Harriman. Ultimately, he rises to the occasion, and it seems likely the experience will make him a better captain. Also, canonically speaking, this is the only scene in which we get the chance to judge him. Still, even with these considerations, it's impossible to imagine some of the more well-known  Enterprise  captains acting quite so skittish or indecisive, even during their first time in the big chair.

Edward Jellico is too narrow-minded to captain the Enterprise

Ronny Cox has the distinction of not only appearing on one of Star Trek: The Next Generation 's most beloved two-parters — season 6's "Chain of Command" — but of playing one of the franchise's most hated captains. Captain Edward Jellico transfers from the USS Cairo  to the  Enterprise  in order to replace Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) indefinitely. The change is made so Jellico can conduct negotiations with the Cardassians while Picard is sent on what some believe is a suicide mission.

A lot of the fan hatred for Jellico can be boiled down to the fact that he's the new guy. For example, two moments that irk fans are when he orders Livingston, Picard's pet fish , removed from the Ready Room and when he insists Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) start wearing her uniform on the bridge. While, yes, these are big changes, they aren't unreasonable ones. Honestly, it makes you wonder why Troi has gotten a pass as far as uniforms are concerned all this time.

Where Jellico really does deserve some of the fan rejection is his unwillingness to listen to his officers, particularly when it comes to Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes). It's part of the first officer's job to discreetly express any concerns to the captain about their orders. But Jellico treats any questioning from Riker like a full-blown mutiny. Thankfully, Picard survives his mission and resumes command of the Enterprise . 

Will Decker is a good man who doesn't get much of a chance

Will Decker (Stephen Collins) gets a raw deal in 1979's  Star Trek: The Motion Picture . After James Kirk completes his five-year mission, he recommends Decker to be his successor as captain of the  Enterprise . But Decker doesn't get very long to enjoy his promotion. Instead, he oversees the refit of the  Enterprise , only to have his rank abruptly taken away from him.

In the beginning of the film, Kirk — now an admiral — gets himself back in the  Enterprise 's chair when a powerful space-borne "intruder" is detected heading toward Earth. While it's clear that there's some validity to Kirk's experience making him the best choice for this particular job, it's just as obvious that he's unhappy behind a desk and is using the situation as an opportunity to get himself back in the thick of things. 

While we never get to see much of Decker as a captain, he takes his demotion just about as well as anyone could. He still serves aboard the ship and even saves it a couple of times during the journey to intercept the intruder, which eventually turns out to be an evolved Voyager probe originally sent from Earth in the 20th century. Decker volunteers to become one with the intruder — which calls itself V'ger. Clearly heroic and willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, Decker would probably have a higher spot on this list if he'd had more time in the captain's chair.

Robert April deserves his accolades

Perhaps one of the lesser-known  Enterprise  captains is Robert April ( voiced by James Doohan ), who precedes both Kirk and Christopher Pike as captain of the  Enterprise . He only has one canonical appearance — in the  Star Trek: The Animated Series  season 2 episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" – and it's set long after most of his  Enterprise  missions. Regardless, the story gives us a good idea of what kind of captain April must've been.

In "The Counter-Clock Incident," April and his wife, Sarah, are in their 70s and aboard the Kirk-commanded  Enterprise  as passengers on their way to the planet Babel, where April is meant to be honored on the occasion of his mandatory retirement. On the way there, the ship is caught in a negative universe, and in order to escape, the ship needs to travel to a dead star ... which causes everyone on the ship to age backwards. Eventually the entire regular crew is so young that completing or even understanding their tasks aboard the Enterprise  is impossible. It's only because of the younger but still adult April and his wife that the  Enterprise  escapes the negative universe intact. 

April's relatively low spot on our list is mainly because we don't get much time to see him. Considering it's said he's one of the most decorated officers in Starfleet, he'd probably rate a higher spot if we had the chance to watch his canonical adventures.

Rachel Garrett gives everything for the Federation

In the season 3  TNG  episode "Yesterday's Enterprise," we meet the only woman to be appointed captain of the  Enterprise who's been revealed thus far. Tricia O'Neil plays Rachel Garrett, captain of the  Enterprise -C, who finds herself and her ship transported to a bleak future. Responding to a distress call from a Klingon outpost, Captain Garrett faces off against four Romulan warbirds. The exchange of fire causes a temporal rift, sending the  Enterprise -C over 20 years into the future, where Starfleet is fighting a losing war against the Klingon Empire. 

While we only get this one episode to see Garrett's leadership, it doesn't take long before her quality as a captain is obvious. While she's just as shocked as anyone would be about being hurled decades into the future, she doesn't let it interfere with her duty. She immediately sets to repairing the  Enterprise -C to help with the war effort, including refusing Dr. Crusher's (Gates McFadden) insistence that she rest in Enterprise -D's sick bay. 

Once Captain Picard makes it clear the best way Garrett can help is to return to her time — something that will almost certainly mean the death of her and her crew, considering the Romulan firepower waiting for them — she accepts her fate and that of her ship. Unfortunately, Garrett doesn't make it back to the past. She's killed during a Klingon attack, forcing her first officer to step in.

Christopher Pike is one of the Enterprise's best

Captain Christopher Pike has been played by more actors on TV than any other Enterprise captain. The first actor to play him was Jeffrey Hunter in the  Star Trek: The Original Series  pilot episode, "The Cage," and in flashbacks in the two-parter "The Menagerie." Sean Kenney plays the chair-bound version of Pike in "The Menagerie," and Anson Mount plays him in the second season of  Star Trek: Discovery .

Ironically, in spite of so many actors playing him, we actually haven't seen him as an Enterprise  captain much. There's his time as captain in "The Cage," but for most of  Discovery 's second season, he's captaining the titular ship rather than the  Enterprise . However, he does return to the  Enterprise  in  Discovery 's two-part season 2 finale, and he'll reportedly reprise the role in the upcoming  Star Trek: Strange New Worlds .

However, we still have a good idea of what kind of  Enterprise  captain Pike was. He performs just as well or better than most captains in "The Cage," and while it may not be the  Enterprise  he's captaining for most of his time on  Discovery , it's a good bet he's just as solid and courageous in the face of danger and mind-bending discoveries on the bridge of the  Enterprise . Not to mention that — as is revealed in "The Menagerie" — we know the crippling injuries he eventually suffers are the result of Pike sacrificing his own safety to save a ship full of Starfleet cadets. 

Will Riker defeats the Federation's worst enemy

There are plenty of moments in both the  TNG  TV series and the  TNG  era of films in which Will Riker takes over the bridge from Captain Picard. For example, Riker is in charge during the battle that ultimately destroys the Enterprise -D in Star Trek: Generations , and he also takes command when the Enterprise -E races to warn the Federation of the villains' plans in 1998's Star Trek: Insurrection . But no single story more clearly proves Riker's worth as an Enterprise captain than the events of one of the best  TNG two-parters, "The Best of Both Worlds," which bridges the series' third and fourth seasons. 

Ironically, Riker is wrestling with why he keeps turning down promotions when one is thrust upon him. When Captain Picard is kidnapped by the Borg and assimilated into their collective, Riker is given a field promotion to captain and names Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy) as his first officer. In spite of the assimilated Picard — now calling himself "Locutus of Borg" — having intimate knowledge of Riker's personality and tactics, Riker manages to outmaneuver the Borg, catch them off balance, and save both Picard and the Federation from assimilation.

"The Best of Both Worlds" makes it clear that — while no one would want to see Picard taken away from the Enterprise  – Riker could've taken his mentor's place permanently, if necessary.

Spock becomes a better captain over time

Along with multiple instances of Spock (Leonard Nimoy) taking charge of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series , he takes the reins completely a couple of times in the films. Spock is the captain of an  Enterprise  mostly full of trainees between the events of  Star Trek: The Motion Picture  and 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan . He also takes command in 1991's  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country after Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are arrested by the Klingons. 

We don't get to see much of Spock as a captain in between the first two Trek movies, but the fact that his trainees manage to help the Enterprise  survive what proves to be one of their deadliest duels in Wrath of Khan  is evidence of his worth as a teacher. And it's difficult to imagine anyone else being able to prove Kirk and McCoy's innocence as Spock does in  Star Trek VI . 

If it weren't for Spock's evolution as a character, he might find himself a bit lower on our list. In early commands Spock enjoys during the original series — such as his time trying to save his shuttle crew in "The Galileo Seven" — Spock's overreliance on logic makes it difficult for him to serve as an effective leader. But by  Star Trek VI ,   he's learned, as he tells Kim Cattrall's Lt. Valeris, that "logic is the beginning of wisdom" and "not the end."

Jonathan Archer was a trailblazer

By the time Star Trek: Enterprise started showing us the adventures of Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), there had been five other  Star Trek  series and nine movies, all taking place chronologically  after  the events of  Enterprise . So most fans watching  Enterprise  for the first time had already seen the experiences of captains like Kirk, Picard, Janeway, etc., and as such, some of the decisions Archer makes can seem insane .

For example, take the episode "Strange New World." When T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) warns caution before sending crew members to explore a planet that no human has set foot on before, Archer and some of the other bridge officers laugh at her concerns. When you see something like that, it's tough to ignore about a million and a half situations in Star Trek  that would make Archer want to punch himself for laughing. 

In light of this, Archer sometimes comes off as less than his future counterparts, but you have to remember that while the idea of going where "no one has gone before" is often (but not always) hyperbole in the case of future captains, it's much more literal in Archer's case. Until the very end of Enterprise , the United Federation of Planets doesn't even exist. Archer makes long lists of mistakes, but he does it because he goes down paths no other human has trod before. And like the best captains of  Trek , he does it with passion and stubborn idealism.

James T. Kirk is the Enterprise captain all others are judged against

For those more used to later captains like Picard and Janeway, James T. Kirk makes some decisions that are mind-boggling. For example, while later captains would take great pains to protect the integrity of the timeline, when Kirk beams a 20th-century fighter pilot aboard the  Enterprise in "Tomorrow is Yesterday," you practically expect him to give the guy a tour of the ship. And you would rarely expect the kind of vengeance in other captains that you see in Kirk as he pursues the Gorn in "Arena." And no Starfleet captain makes quite as many mistakes due to the "feminine wiles" of antagonists as Kirk does.

But then, there are the great moments in  Trek  that no other captain could've achieved. Kirk makes it possible for peace to be made with the Klingons in  Star Trek VI , which has far-reaching consequences in the franchise's continuing narrative. Plus, he stops the Romulans from seeing the Federation as easy prey and gives them a couple bloody noses in the meantime. 

At heart, Kirk is more of a pure adventurer than just about any other captain in the franchise, but he doesn't shirk his duty. And sometimes, his less civilized side makes him a better captain. Whether you like him or not, you have to admit that when he tells Picard in Generations , "I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers," there isn't a single lie in his mouth.

Jean-Luc Picard is the best the Enterprise has ever known

Probably no two  Star Trek captains are weighed against each other more often than Kirk and Picard. Picard is often treated as a more timid, snootier answer to his predecessor, but those comparisons aren't fair. Yes, Picard certainly is older than Kirk was when he took over the  Enterprise , and his overall affect feels more intellectual. But when you actually consider his actions, Picard is no diplomatic shadow of Kirk. 

Sure, he's not quite as brash, but that doesn't stop him from going against Starfleet's orders when he feels it's necessary, like when he ignores their insistence that he stay out of the fight with the Borg in  First Contact  or when he disobeys Admiral Dougherty's (Anthony Zerbe) orders in  Insurrection . He's just as passionate about meeting the unknown as Kirk, but that passion is tempered with experience. While he's often portrayed as being more academic, that isn't a weakness. It's in part Picard's education that makes him the only captain who could defend Data as well as he does in "The Measure of a Man" — or, for that matter, himself in "The Drumhead." And it also helps him to keep saying no when more quick-tempered crew members like Worf want to arm photon torpedoes every time they meet someone new. 

Overall, no other  Enterprise  captain has matched the perfect balance of sophistication, intellect, passion, and unmovable idealism as Sir Patrick Stewart's portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. That's why there can be no other choice for the top spot of  Star Trek 's  Enterprise  captains.

Star Trek: Every On-Screen Captain of the USS Enterprise, Ranked

Make it so; the best on-screen captains of Star Trek, at the helm of the most iconic ship in Starfleet, ever.

When Star Trek first aired on network television on September 8th,1966, no one could've ever guessed that it would become one of the greatest science fiction franchises of all time. Only lasting three seasons, the original series failed to gain a firm foothold over television audiences at the time, but once Star Trek moved to the big screen , the world never took it for granted again. Now, with more than half a century of television spin-offs, blockbuster movies, comic books, and novels fully fleshing out the universe, it's clear that the most iconic stories of the franchise have always centered around the starship Enterprise and the legendary captains that command its crews. But, to make this list of elite on-screen captains, you can't just be an acting commander, or given the chair in an act of emergency; no, you have to be the real deal. With that out of the way, here's a list of the best onscreen captains to ever command the USS Enterprise.

7 Captain April

While Captain April may be the most unknown of starship captains to make this list, he's also regarded as one of the most important, carrying the distinction as the first captain to ever command the Enterprise after its christening. Having taken command of the very first Enterprise commissioned by the United Federation of Planets on April 11th, 2245, April makes his on-screen debut in 1974's Star Trek: The Animated Series , The Counter-Clock Incident , where as commodore he travels with the Enterprise to the dilithium-rich world of Babel to usher in his retirement, and reminisce to Captain James T. Kirk about his time aboard as captain of the Enterprise. Not much is known of him if you only visit his on-screen appearances, but Star Trek lore is filled with references to him in novels, comic books, and encyclopedias, filling in the blanks of his legendary career. His most recent onscreen appearance occurs in the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' television series, where he makes his live action debut, and serves as an admiral in Starfleet.

6 Captain Spock

Spock is best known for his loyal service as first officer aboard the starship Enterprise, and even more so for the timeless friendship he shared with Captain James T. Kirk. His decorated career as first officer overshadows his short stint onscreen as captain of the Enterprise, but as one of the most iconic characters of the Star Trek mythos , his service in that capacity should not be diminished. Our first glimpse of Spock as captain of the Starfleet flagship comes at the beginning of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , where he's been training a new generation of crew members aboard the Enterprise . When the Enterprise receives a distress signal from Regula I, Admiral James T. Kirk assumes command of the Enterprise , and enacts Spock as his first officer. But, what isn't well known, is that Spock had been serving as captain of the Enterprise since 2280, having taken command five years before the events of The Wrath of Khan in 2285.

In the Kelvin universe that director J.J Abrams introduced, Spock remains a formidable force in the study and application of logic, but it is this fundamental adherence to strict logic that, while often seen as one of his greatest strengths, hinders him from a more developed role in the big chair. This weakness is personified during the Kelvin timeline's Star Trek , where Spock, while serving as acting captain, is forced to resign by Kirk, and accept the role that his emotions play in his ability to lead; something that Kirk had already come to realize. With that said, Spock remains one of the greatest all-time decorated Starfleet officers, regardless of rank, granting his onscreen stint as captain of the Enterprise a worthy and iconic addition to this list.

5 Captain Archer

Starfleet in the era of Captain Archer's command, operates in a completely different reality than the one audiences have come to know and love. Making his onscreen debut in Star Trek: Enterprise , the United Federation of Planets didn't exist yet, marking Archer as one of the earliest pioneers of interstellar travel in the Star Trek universe. As commander of the Enterprise NX-01, the first starship of the United Earth alliance capable of reaching warp factor five, and having soared the cosmos nearly a hundred years before Captain Kirk's five-year mission with the Enterprise NCC-1701 as part of the United Federation of Planets, Archer traces his distinct lineage to some of Earth's earliest explorers.

His role in establishing the framework on which the United Federation of Planets would later build upon included forging diplomatic missions with new alien species, and developing closer ties with the Vulcan race, who nurtured humanities early foray into interstellar politics, culminating in one of the first conflicts with the Klingon empire. Under his leadership, the Enterprise became associated with the level-headed diplomacy needed to nurture closer ties with allied space faring civilizations, and he is credited as one of the architects of what would eventually become the United Federation of Planets, serving as president of the newly formed alliance in 2184. While regarded as one of the least favorite Star Trek television series, Enterprise did have some bright spots , giving fans their fix before a new era of Star Trek films hit theaters later in the decade.

4 James T. Kirk [Kelvin Timeline]

In 2009, J.J Abrams introduced audiences to the alternate Kelvin timeline in the rebooted Star Trek film of that year, upending the established canon of Star Trek for all time. Documenting the travels of Spock as he time travels back in time after being attacked by a Romulan mining vessel commanded by Nero, we're soon introduced to a young James T. Kirk who has grown up without the guiding hand of his father, George Kirk, an instrumental presence that inspired Kirk to join Starfleet in the Prime timeline. In the Kelvin universe , Kirk is selfish, brash, and unfit for anything resembling the bridge of a starship. That is, until he's brought under the guidance and influence of another leading father figure; Captain Pike. Growing into his leadership potential over the course of three films, audiences witnessed one of the most unforgettable captains of the Enterprise endure the growing pains of becoming a Starfleet officer, worthy of the name, Kirk.

Because of his youth, this Kirk suffers from not being as settled or measured as his Prime timeline counterpart, and is often ready and willing to defy the orders of captains, admirals, the federation itself, and even the most sacrosanct of federation ideals; the Prime Directive. Because of the absence of his father while developing through Starfleet, Kirk's measuring stick becomes Captain Pike himself, who leads with a sense of assuredness, calm, poise, and dignity that serves as the greater example of leadership within the Star Trek mythos. When Pike dies from a surprise attack led by Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness , Kirk is motivated to become the Star Trek captain of legendary ethos, and while he continues to make mistakes along the way, we can't help but love him for the way he leads with his heart.

3 Captain Pike

Captain Pike has been a stalwart presence in the Star Trek universe since the very beginning, making his debut in The Menagerie episode during season one of the original series. While not as iconic as some of his contemporaries, his more recent appearances in Star Trek films and television have established him as a capable and distinguished leader, catapulting him into the hearts and minds of Trekkies everywhere. While many of his earliest years in Starfleet were spent under the command of Captain April, he still emerges as the more iconic presence due to his continued relevance in Star Trek storylines.

His leadership has nurtured, inspired, and set the example for the careers of legendary commanders like James T. Kirk himself, and Spock has the distinction of serving as first officer under Pike during his first five-year mission as commander aboard the Enterprise. For many audiences, their first taste of Pike's leadership was during the alternate Kelvin timeline introduced in the Star Trek films directed by J.J Abrams, where he played an instrumental role in developing James T. Kirk as a capable leader worthy of the chair, and sacrificed his own safety for the survival of his crew. His time as captain of the Enterprise is documented in the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds television series, and like many other captains on this list, Pike has become one of the most decorated, and iconic captains in Starfleet history.

2 Captain James T. Kirk [Prime Timeline]

The original onscreen captain of the U.S.S Enterprise, James T. Kirk set the bar high for any Starfleet captain lucky enough to be seen on film and television after him. While not the first to captain the Enterprise according to canon, Kirk arguably remains the most iconic leader to ever grace the big chair, and it's this iconography that catapulted Star Trek into the zeitgeist of science fiction royalty, now and forever to come. Kirk led with a sense of swash-buckling bravado, fearless bravery in the face of combat , and a heroic presence that allowed audiences to trust him the same way the crew of the Enterprise did. While he often defied Starfleet during the course of his five-year assignment as captain of the Enterprise, his leadership was never based on defiance, and at no point was his independence unwieldy. During its initial run on the NBC network, Star Trek failed to gain a true foothold on television, but renewed popularity through heavy syndication allowed the television series to gain a cult following, and gave Paramount reason enough to take a chance on the first Star Trek movie in 1979, some 13 years after its debut on television.

That movie is where Star Trek took off into the stars, and the true legend of Captain Kirk would begin. Over the next decade, audiences would follow Kirk and crew through some of the greatest adventures ever captured onscreen, with films like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan regarded as some of the best science fiction storytelling ever. The movies allowed Star Trek to expand further into comic books, novels, and spin-off television projects, like Star Trek: The Next Generation , where Kirk would cross over into new adventures and films with new captains of the Enterprise, like Captain Picard. As new fans joined the adventure decade after decade, Star Trek generated the kind of passion necessary to catapult itself into the new millennium, and beyond. For that, Captain Kirk and his original crew of the Enterprise remain the catalyst behind that legacy.

1 Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted Sept. 26th, 1987, and lasted for seven seasons, becoming the most successful Star Trek television series of all time. The show introduced a new generation of audiences to the newest Enterprise starship at the time, the iconic NCC 1701-D, and the crew that would take her on new missions to explore the cosmos. It was during this show that viewers would be introduced to the greatest captain to ever command the bridge of a federation starship bearing the name Enterprise; Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Over the course of seven seasons, and four films, Picard became the standard-bearer for Starfleet captains, leading with a sense of calm, level-headed excellence, and distinguished poise that one couldn't help but be inspired by. By the time Star Trek: First Contact , considered the best film from that era , hit theaters in 1996, Picard's legacy was established, and audiences never once questioned his ability to command.

While one might argue that Kirk stands as the more iconic captain of the Star Trek mythology, Picard sets himself apart by the way in which he commands his crew with dignity, poise, and unquestionable competency. While Kirk was known to be an erratic leader at times, and more prone to emotional outbursts that could potentially undermine his crew and their safety, Picard stands as the more even-keeled and capable starship captain, commanding the Enterprise with an unwavering sense of duty and accountability. New series outings, like Picard , further expand upon his legend, and give fans a deeper look into the ethos of Jean-Luc by creating a more intimate experience with the beloved captain, allowing us to submit to his powerful leadership once again, knowing that he alone has the ability to "make it so."

History [ ]

As a child in grade school , Harriman read about the legendary missions of the crew of the original Federation starship Enterprise , a fact which he related to James T. Kirk , Montgomery Scott , and Pavel Chekov during the Enterprise -B's christening ceremony in 2293 , where the three were guests of honor.

Captain Harriman in command of the Enterprise -B during its shakedown cruise

During the Enterprise -B's shakedown cruise , the crew received a distress call from the transport vessel Lakul , which was carrying El-Aurian refugees to Earth . Initially, Harriman was slow to respond and reluctant to attempt a rescue, aware that the Enterprise did not yet have a full crew complement and that several key systems were not installed; however, he was forced to respond as they were the only ship in range. The crew discovered the Lakul and another vessel trapped in a severe gravimetric distortion which was threatening to destroy the ships.

As the crew of the Enterprise could not move into transporter range without becoming trapped in the distortion itself, Harriman suggested a number of courses of action. These suggestions included generating a subspace field around the ships and venting drive plasma from the warp nacelles in an attempt to break them free. Use of a tractor beam was impossible because the system had not yet been installed.

These efforts met with failure, and given it was obvious Kirk was barely restraining himself from intervening, Harriman swallowed his pride during this crisis to ask for the veteran's advice. At that consent, Kirk suggested moving the ship into transporter range that they were able to rescue the surviving passengers. Harriman was initially skeptical of this plan, observing that the gravimetric distortions had the potential to destroy the ship, a claim to which Kirk simply responded, " risk is part of the game, if you want to sit in that chair ."

Harriman, Scott and Chekov survey the damage at the site of Kirk's apparent death.

Although the effort was successful and the El-Aurians were beamed aboard, the Enterprise did indeed become caught in a gravimetric field . With no photon torpedoes aboard to generate an antimatter discharge, Scott suggested that a resonance burst from the main deflector might simulate the effect and disrupt the field's hold on the ship long enough to break away. As performing this procedure required a modification to the ship's deflector relays , Harriman granted command to Kirk as he prepared to leave the bridge and perform the modifications. After only seconds in the captain's chair, Kirk maintained that Harriman's place was on the bridge of his ship, so he volunteered to perform the modifications himself. It was during his efforts to modify the relays that an immense energy surge struck the ship, causing a hull breach on Deck 15, where Kirk was working. After the ship broke free of the field due to Kirk's actions, Harriman, Scott, and Chekov traveled to Deck 15 where they discovered that the room in which Kirk was working had been completely destroyed, seemingly resulting in Kirk's death.

Appendices [ ]

Background information [ ].

Harriman was played by actor Alan Ruck .

The script for Star Trek Generations describes Harriman as, " young, confident, eager – this is his first command and he takes it very seriously. " [1]

Alan Ruck describes his casting as Harriman thusly:

This is crazy. So my manager at the time calls up – and this is in the days of faxes – and says, "I'm faxing you over some pages for a Star Trek movie." I say, "Okay, great." And the pages come over, and I read them, and in my mind I'm going to be playing an alien with a head shaped like a stalk of broccoli or something. So I go, " Who do they want me to play?" "Harriman!" Look, when I shave every day, I don't look in the mirror and say, "Hey! There's a starship commander." [Laughs.] It's just not how I picture myself. So I was, like, "Really?" "Yeah, that's what they want." And then I talked to Rick Berman , who was in charge of the whole Star Trek thing at the time, and he said, "Yeah, we figured that Harriman came from a wealthy, politically connected family, and they sort of bought you this job as a stepping stone into a political career." That was the backstory, which you never heard. All you knew was that there was this young, inexperienced guy who was given the Enterprise -B, which was ill-equipped. And it wasn't his fault. It was because half of the systems hadn’t been installed. But they decided to take it out for this PR stunt, a publicity run with three heroes, and nothing works, and of course he doesn't know what to do, so Kirk has to take over, after which Kirk gets sucked out into the Nexus, into a time warp, and it leads to his ultimate demise. So from that point on, half the people in the Star Trek world love me for killing Kirk, and half the people hate me for killing Kirk. And I can live with that. [2] [3]

In early drafts of Star Trek Generations and various merchandise released before the movie, the commanding officer of the Enterprise -B was called "Harry Johnson."

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual , the computer refers to him as "James Harriman."

Apocrypha [ ]

Captain Harriman and the Enterprise -B are featured in the 1995 novel The Captain's Daughter , in "Shakedown", a short story in the 2000 anthology Star Trek: Enterprise Logs (both of which were written by Peter David ), and in the Star Trek: The Lost Era novels Serpents Among the Ruins and One Constant Star , both by David R. George III . He makes an appearance early in the first issue of the Star Trek: Spock: Reflections comic, showing Spock the place, now adorned with a dedication plaque , where Kirk was pulled into the Nexus – Harriman was distraught that he'd lost James T. Kirk on his first command, but Spock, reminding him of the 47 El-Aurians saved by the Enterprise , insisting that he had nothing to be ashamed of. Harriman featured prominently in the 2010 comic book issue Captain's Log: Harriman , detailing his struggle to overcome his guilt and his doubts in the aftermath of the shakedown cruise and Kirk's "death".

The Captain's Daughter also introduces Harriman's father: Admiral John Harriman, Senior ( β ) ( nicknamed "Blackjack").

Serpents Among the Ruins gives his full name as John Jason Harriman II and that he was born aboard the USS Sea of Tranquility ( β ) and lived most of his childhood on a series of starships. Until his entrance into Starfleet Academy , he had never spent more than a few weeks planet side. This was an uncomfortable experience for Harriman as he found the sky in particular to induce agoraphobic reactions. But after a few months, he recovered and excelled in his studies. He studied the Romulan Star Empire in depth, an interest he had maintained after hearing stories of his grandfather's participation in the Earth-Romulan War as told by his father. He graduated in three years on an accelerated program. The novel also indicates that Harriman, working with Starfleet Intelligence , was the main architect of what became the Tomed Incident ; the effort was intended to defuse tensions with the Romulan Star Empire by forcing them to stand down when the Klingons sided with the Federation after the Romulans destroyed a series of Federation border outposts. The outposts were revealed to be completely empty, with false sensor readings indicating life signs. After the signing of the Treaty of Algeron , Harriman steps down as captain of the Enterprise -B and turns it over to his first officer, Demora Sulu .

In One Constant Star , eight years later, Harriman is assigned as "admiral-at-large" of Helaspont Station, commanded by his wife, Captain Amina Sasine; they team up with Demora and the Enterprise -B to rescue Demora's father, Captain Hikaru Sulu , and the survivors of the destroyed USS Excelsior . The novel reveals that Harriman had a sister named Lynn who was murdered in 2275 .

The short story "Full Circle" in the anthology book Strange New Worlds VII shows Harriman at the rank of admiral and serving as Starfleet Command's liaison to the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in 2371 – the year Kirk emerged from the Nexus and was killed on Veridian III . He turns the job over to Montgomery Scott , remarking that a real engineer could make something of the job – setting the stage for the Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers series. The Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Raise the Dawn mentions that Harriman is still alive in the 2380s .

Harriman's mirror universe counterpart appears in the Star Trek: Mirror Universe novel The Sorrows of Empire , where he's a lieutenant assigned to the ISS Hornet in the 2270s and later attempted to transfer to the ISS Enterprise in 2275 .

The personnel file created by Michael Okuda for the video game Star Trek: Starship Creator includes several connections to Ruck's role as Cameron Fry in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off , including a wife named Sloane and a son named Ferris who both live in Chicago , as well as an interest in 20th century Italian sports automobiles .

6 'Star Trek' Captains, Ranked from Worst to Best

Star trek captains.

The "Star Trek" captains of the USS Enterprise (and in one case, the space station Deep Space Nine) have so many different personalities to them. The ever-scrappy Capt. James T. Kirk. The Shakespeare-quoting Capt. Jean-Luc Picard. Capt. John Archer, the reluctant diplomat. And so on. How are we to take the measure of these captains to figure out who is best? Space.com's Elizabeth Howell, who has watched all of the live-action TV series as well as the Hollywood movies, weighs in on the main captains featured in the live-action TV series and Hollywood movies. (We've ignored some of the characters who become captain temporarily, or who are only shown briefly, such as Capt. Pike.) We're releasing this slideshow just days before "Star Trek: Discovery." In an intriguing twist on the shows' usual format, the star of "Discovery" is not actually a captain, but the first officer of the USS Shenzhou. We're looking forward to learning more about Michael Burnham (played by Sonequa Martin-Green). [ 'Star Trek: Discovery' Premiere Unites Starship Casts Both New and Old ]

6. Capt. John Archer ("Star Trek: Enterprise," 2001-05)

While Capt. Archer comes last on our list, we want to emphasize he is an extremely able captain that was a true pioneer — his ship, the Enterprise NX-01, was the first starship capable of exploring distant star systems. That made Archer host to a number of "first contact" incidents that would have challenged even the best of us. Memorably, when he encounters the Ferengi for the first time, he immediately senses their selfish nature and plays them off against each other to get his captive ship back in "Acquisition." But Archer still struggles with the responsibilities of being a captain in general. Especially in the early seasons, he doesn't know much about diplomacy or the military; it takes repeated encounters with hostile species such as the Klingons or the Suliban to realize the value of tactics. Archer began to hit his stride in Season 3, but, unfortunately, we didn't get to see much of his evolution because the series was canceled after Season 4.

5. Capt. Benjamin Sisko ("Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," 1993-1999)

Benjamin Sisko started his command at Deep Space Nine under very difficult circumstances. His wife was dead — it's a long story involving the evil Borg species, but he held Capt. Jean-Luc Picard responsible for it as Picard was temporarily assimilated into the Borg's collective. Sisko was on the verge of resignation. After his crew members began arriving, Sisko quickly discovered that the situation on Bajor, the nearby planet, would be incredibly difficult to resolve because so many factions were trying to gain control of the government. As Sisko gained confidence in himself, his crew and his mission, he realized there was a unique opportunity due to a wormhole just nearby the station. Sisko quickly realized this would be a welcome opportunity for merchants to come to the station and make it a thriving community. However, Sisko had his hands full dealing with disputes between all the different species, not to mention the Bajor situation. But he prevailed, and mostly kept his temper while doing so. [ The Evolution of 'Star Trek' (Infographic) ]

4. Capt. James T. Kirk ("Star Trek" reboot movies, 2009-present)

The rebooted Capt. Kirk (played by Chris Pine) starts as a much younger captain than the one portrayed in the TV series. This gives Pine the room to make some juvenile-yet-hilarious mistakes, such as getting in bar fights, or being angry with colleague Spock because the logical Vulcan alien — a very by-the-books sort of person — accused Kirk of cheating on a key test when he found a loophole. Kirk's boisterous mistakes as a neophyte captain made him funny to watch on screen in the first movie ("Star Trek," 2009), but by the second movie ("Star Trek Into Darkness," 2012) his mistakes quickly caught him up to him. Among other errors, he broke the First Directive about contact with alien species early in their development, and put too much trust in the terrorist John Harrison (played by Benedict Cumberbatch). Fortunately, Kirk matured by the time "Star Trek Beyond" (2016) was released , and he began to show the crafty gifts of his TV namesake. One of the best sequences was near the end of the film, when he rode a motorcycle around an enemy camp to confuse the aliens there and give his captured crew enough time to escape. We're looking forward to seeing how Kirk progresses in the next "Star Trek" film, which is greenlit but doesn't yet have a release date or a name.

3. Capt. Kathryn Janeway ("Star Trek: Voyager," 1995-2001)

In raw courage, Capt. Janeway may win for her ability to keep the crew focused while her ship was stranded on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy, a 75-year trip away from home. In consultation with a nearby ship, the Marquis, she made the difficult decision to merge the two crews to best preserve their chances of survival. Much later in the show, Janeway entered a controversial temporary alliance with the Borg (a notorious, assimilating alien species) to stay alive in the face of an even stronger enemy. These decisions are all the more courageous given that she was so far from Starfleet's authority at the time. One of Janeway's trademarks was her pure cheek, especially when somebody tried to undercut her authority. "Ma'am is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer Captain," she says in the very first episode, "Caretaker." Or that time that Seven of Nine (played by Jeri Ryan) disagreed with her in "Random Thoughts." Janeway responded: "I dread the day when everyone on this ship agrees with me. I thank you for your opinion, but our mission is not going to change."

2. Capt. James T. Kirk ("Star Trek: The Original Series," 1966-1969; "Star Trek" movies, 1979-1994)

The TV version of Capt. Kirk (played by William Shatner) is almost like a modern Odysseus. He's forever wandering across the universe, getting snared by beautiful women, but somehow able to use his wiles to escape trap after trap. Shatner's performance is a joy to watch on screen, although his antics rob him of the gravitas one might think was required in military organizations such as Starfleet. Kirk remains steadfastly optimistic and resolute about exploration, as shown by the famous speech that fans call "Risk Is Our Business" (in "Return To Tomorrow"). Kirk compares the exploits of Starfleet to the previous explorers of the Apollo program , or even the first people to take flight. He also remains friends with and listens to the advice of the core group of his crew, even when Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) continually argue with each other — which is no small feat. Kirk also shows flashes of creative brilliance. In one episode, "A Piece of the Action," he creates confusion among the bad guys by creating card game rules out of thin air. In another episode, "The Corbomite Maneuver," Kirk tells the bad guys that they can't blow up the Enterprise because he will do a reverse-reaction of a secret, imaginary substance called "corbomite." It was just a bluff, but he stopped the Enterprise from imminent destruction.

1. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard ("Star Trek: The Next Generation," 1987-1994; "Star Trek: The Next Generation" movies, 1994-2002)

There's no question that Jean-Luc Picard was in charge of the Enterprise; all it took was a withering look or one well-placed comment to remind a crew member when they stepped out of line. While Picard was very respectful of authority and Starfleet's command, he also wasn't afraid to speak up for his crew when the situation warranted it. Perhaps the best example is in "Measure of A Man," where he speaks up on behalf of Data — an android who wants to be human, and whom Picard argues is just as much of a crew member as anyone else on his ship. Picard's performances likely would have qualified him for an Emmy if he wasn't dressed in an all-body suit as the star of a science-fiction series. Some of his most tear-jerking moments: His defiance under torture in "Chain of Command," when he yells "There are four lights!" after his captor tries to persuade him the number is wrong; his performance in "The Inner Light," where Picard grows old on a quiet rural planet and then is wrenched back to his battleship reality; and his battle cry "No!" in "Star Trek: First Contact" in 1996 (while smashing glass) just before he realizes he will need to let the Borg take over his ship.

‘Star Trek’: Rachel Garrett, the First Female USS Enterprise Captain, Will Be Part of the ‘Section 31’ Movie

“ Star Trek ” fans got a couple fascinating details in a March 27 report by Variety on the future of the franchise on Paramount+. The biggest for sure is that the character of Rachel Garrett, the first female captain of the USS Enterprise, will be appearing in the “Section 31” direct-to-Paramount+ movie that’s going to star Michelle Yeoh .

That time-travel episode was about how the Enterprise-C was ripped out of history at a battle with the Romulans where it was supposed to have perished; instead the ship was hurled 22 years into the future where it meets Picard’s Enterprise, the Enterprise-D. As a result of the change to history, the Federation is at war with the Klingons, and the only way to set history right is for the crew of the Enterprise-C to agree to go back to their own time, where they all face certain and immediate death.

This is the episode where, once they’ve agreed to face their doom, Picard says, “Let’s make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise.” If Kirk didn’t believe in a “no win” situation, she faced one head-on, making Garrett an especially valiant captain.

In the “Star Trek” timeline, she’s the first female Enterprise captain. In order, the timeline goes: Jonathan Archer of the pre-Federation Enterprise NX-01, James T. Kirk of the Enterprise NCC-1701 and Enterprise-A, Alan Ruck’s John Harriman of the Enterprise-B (this writer chooses to believe that since the lore does say Harrison came from “a prominent family,” that he is in fact a descendant of Connor Roy, thus winning the ultimate succession: the Enterprise captain’s chair), and then Garrett.

One other interesting detail emerged in that report: That the “Starfleet Academy” show, which IndieWire told you a year ago must logically have a 32nd Century setting as a follow-up series to “Discovery,” is in fact confirmed to be set then, but, surprisingly, is being targeted to a “tween and teen” audience.

Jonathan Frakes, who’s directed episodes of every “Trek” series since “Next Gen” in addition to playing Riker on that series and beyond, is quoted in the Variety piece as saying that he thinks the franchise’s audience is older. Franchise mastermind Alex Kurtzman seems to hope that a show like “Starfleet Academy” may reach a new audience altogether.

Reps for Paramount+ did not respond to IndieWire’s request for comment about confirmation of these details.

Captain Kirk should have gone aboard Star Trek: The Next Generation's Enterprise

W illiam Shatner's Captain Kirk made his final appearance on Star Trek: Generations. He, Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) joined the Enterprise-B for its inaugural adventure, and Kirk saves the ship from a gravimetric field and is presumed dead. From that point forward, Kirk is trapped in the Nexus while the world goes on without him. But, as Screenrant writer Rachel Hulshult points out , Generations missed out on a HUGE opportunity by not bringing Kirk aboard Captain Picard's (Patrick Stewart) Enterprise.

Generations was, essentially, a way to pass the torch from The Original Series movies to The Next Generation movies. It was the final time that Captain Kirk would have an adventure in the universe, and while he was brought back to help save that same universe...again, his presence in the movie, if utilized properly, could have made such a big difference in how it was received.

Having Shatner in this movie should have been one of the major focuses. Pairing him with Captain PIcard aboard the Enterprise would have been more of a torch-passing moment than a fight with Macolm McDowell's character, Dr. Soran. To see the two captains on the bridge of that iconic ship, one who led her and one who currently leads her, would have been a truly classical moment.

Imagine Kirk's face on seeing the differences a hundred years brought to his ship. With Kirk able to see the advancements and Picard's crew in awe of Kirk, this would have made the movie about something other than just leaving The Original Seris in the dust. And I'm wholeheartedly in agreement with Hulshult's statement that "Star Trek: Generations blew it by not having Kirk aboard Picard's Enterprise." By utilizing Kirk, Picard and his crew, and the Enteprise as a team, Generations could have made history for a better reason than the death of Captain Kirk .

The Long-Lost Original Star Trek Enterprise Model Is Heading Home

After going missing from gene roddenberry's collection half a century ago, the very first model of the starship enterprise is back in his family's hands..

It was our first look at the vision of Star Trek ’s future: the original ship model of the USS Enterprise that zoomed across screens in the show’s opening credits. But after being loaned out during the making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture , it had gone missing... until now.

After, bizarrely, it randomly turned up on eBay last fall—the first time it had been seen publicly since it had gone missing —the original model of the Enterprise made for the Star Trek pilot “The Cage” and shooting its opening titles sequences is now back in the hands of the Roddenberry estate. After the eBay seller quickly learned just what they had their hands on, the model was handed over to Heritage Auctions for authentication, and when it was confirmed to be the long-lost Trek icon , held in storage until it could be handed over to Rod Roddenberry this past weekend. “After five decades, I’m thrilled that someone happened upon this historic model of the USS Enterprise . I remember how it used to adorn my dad’s desk,” Roddenberry said in a statement provided over email. “I am tremendously grateful to Heritage Auctions for facilitating the return of this iconic piece of Star Trek history to my family.”

The original model served as the prototype for what would become the primary original 11-foot shooting model of the Enterprise , which has had a similarly long and winding history on display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum —it was damaged, then tweaked in an a restoration that was ultimately undone to restore it to its original glory just in time for Trek ’s 50th anniversary back in 2014. Like its successor, the newly recovered model will find a life outside of a private collection: Roddenberry Entertainment intends to put it on public display.

“I can’t wait to figure out how we are going to share it with my extended family, Star Trek fans around the world,” Roddenberry’s statement concluded. “We look forward to making that announcement.”

Long-lost first model of the USS Enterprise from ‘Star Trek’ boldly goes home after twisting voyage

The first model of the USS Enterprise is displayed at Heritage Auctions in Los Angeles, April 13, 2024.

DALLAS (AP) — The first model of the USS Enterprise — used in the opening credits of the original “Star Trek” television series — has boldly gone back home, returning to creator Gene Roddenberry’s son decades after it went missing.

The model’s disappearance sometime in the 1970s had become the subject of lore, so it caused a stir when it popped up on eBay last fall. The sellers quickly took it down, and then contacted Dallas-based Heritage Auctions to authenticate it. Last weekend, the auction house facilitated the model’s return.

Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment, said he’s thrilled to have the model that had graced the desk of his father, who died in 1991 at age 70.

“This is not going home to adorn my shelves,” Roddenberry said. “This is going to get restored and we’re working on ways to get it out so the public can see it and my hope is that it will land in a museum somewhere.”

AP AUDIO: Long-lost first model of the USS Enterprise from ‘Star Trek’ boldly goes home after twisting voyage.

AP correspondent Margie Szaroleta reports on the return of the original model of the USS Enterprise from the TV show “Star Trek.”

Heritage’s executive vice president, Joe Maddalena, said the auction house was contacted by people who said they’d discovered it a storage unit, and when it was brought into their Beverly Hills office, he and a colleague “instantly knew that it was the real thing.”

They reached out to Roddenberry, who said he appreciates that everyone involved agreed returning the model was the right thing to do. He wouldn’t go into details on the agreement reached but said “I felt it important to reward that and show appreciation for that.”

Maddalena said the model vanished in the 1970s after Gene Roddenberry loaned it to makers of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” which was released in 1979.

“No one knew what happened to it,” Rod Roddenberry said.

The 3-foot (0.91-meter) model of the USS Enterprise was used in the show’s original pilot episode as well as the opening credits of the resulting TV series, and was the prototype for the 11-foot (3-meter) version featured in the series’ episodes. The larger model is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.

The original “Star Trek” television series, which aired in the late 1960s, kicked off an ever-expanding multiverse of cultural phenomena, with TV and movie spinoffs and conventions where a fanbase of zealous and devoted Trekkies can’t get enough of memorabilia.

This USS Enterprise model would easily sell for more than $1 million at auction, but really “it’s priceless,” Maddalena said.

“It could sell for any amount and I wouldn’t be surprised because of what it is,” he said. “It is truly a cultural icon.”

Roddenberry, who was just a young boy when the model went missing, said he has spotty memories of it, “almost a deja vu.” He said it wasn’t something he’d thought much about until people began contacting him after it appeared on eBay.

“I don’t think I really, fully comprehended at first that this was the first Enterprise ever created,” he said.

He said he has no idea if there was something nefarious behind the disappearance all those decades ago or if it was just mistakenly lost, but it would be interesting to find out more about what happened.

“This piece is incredibly important and it has its own story and this would be a great piece of the story,” Roddenberry said.

Thankfully, he said, the discovery has cleared up one rumor: That it was destroyed because as a young boy, he’d thrown it into a pool.

“Finally I’m vindicated after all these years,” he said with a laugh.

While most 2024 offerings arrive in October, the first ornament of the year hits stores this July, when Hallmark celebrates the 60th anniversary of “The Cage” with The Keeper . This is the Talosian leader who kept Captain Pike hostage in the original Star Trek  pilot episode; it’s priced at $19.99.

Moving into the fall’s character spotlights, Hallmark is starting with the beloved chief medical officer of the Enterprise- D: Beverly Crusher! With so many licensees often leaving Crusher out of the roster of character-themed releases, it’s nice to see Hallmark including the good doctor in their 2024 lineup.

Clad in her trademark blue coat and with trusty medical tricorder in hand, the Crusher ornament will available in October for $19.99.

Also from  The Next Generation is the first electronic ornament for 2024, recreating the encounter between Ambassador Spock and Data in “Unification II.” This ornament will be priced at $29.99 when released in October, and plays audio clips from the Next Gen episode.

For this year’s “modern  Trek ” release, Hallmark turns to  Star Trek: Strange New Worlds with an ornament featuring Captain Pike seated in his  Enterprise command chair. The base of his chair plays  Strange New Worlds audio clips, and will be available for $21.99 this October.

Moving next to Trek movie anniversaries, Hallmark celebrates the 30th anniversary of  Star Trek: Generations with the first-ever  USS Enterprise -B ornament! Hallmark’s Kevin Dilmore once highlighted the technical challenges that held back the Excelsior -class design for many years back in 2021, so it’s nice to see this long-awaited ship will make it to fans’ collections.

The Enterprise- B ornament lights up and will be available for $34.99 in October.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture also hits a big anniversary this year, and Hallmark will be honoring that milestone with a pair of miniature ornaments tied to the film. A small edition of the refit  USS Enterprise will be released at a $10.99 price point, and a small sculpt of Science Officer Spock wearing his TMP-era uniform will be $9.99. Each will be out in October.

Finally, the fan-favorite  Star Trek homage  Galaxy Quest hits its 25th anniversary this year, and Hallmark will be taking us back to 1999 with a new ornament of that film’s  NSEA Protector spaceship.

Like the other 2024 releases, the  Protector ornament will be out this October for $24.99.
