Inexplicably to his crew, Kirk began exhibiting bizarre behavior on stardate 5027.3, and ordered the ''Enterprise'' across the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] . Three [[Romulan]] starships detained the ''Enterprise'', and Kirk and Spock met the Romulan commander aboard her ship, where Kirk's death was faked. The ruse allowed Kirk, surgically altered to look Romulan, to infiltrate the Romulan vessel and steal their [[cloaking device]]. Using the device, the ''Enterprise'' cloaked and escaped to [[Federation]] space, taking along the captured Romulan Commander. The entire operation had been designed to give the Federation deniability in case of failure, and place the culpability on Kirk.
On 4842.6, the ''Enterprise'' discovered the {{MA|Amerind|Amerind}} planet, where an ancient race, the "[[{{MA|Preservers]]|Preservers}}", had transplanted elements of [[Native American]] cultures that were endangered in centuries past. When an accident separated Kirk from the landing party and induced his amnesia, Spock was forced to abandon the search, in order to command the ''Enterprise'' in the interception of an [[asteroid]] on course to hit the planet. For several months, Kirk was worshiped as a [[god]] called "[[Kirok]]" by the inhabitants, and took a [[#Miramanee|wife]]. With the return of the ''Enterprise'' and the restoration of his memories, Kirk was able to activate an ancient planetary defense mechanism left behind by the Preservers, destroying the approaching asteroid.
Near [[Tholian]] space on stardate 5693.2, the ''Enterprise'' discovered the USS Defiant, NCC-1764, adrift and its crew dead, trapped in a [[spatial interphase]]. Tholian commander [[Loskene]] responded to the trespass of 'recently annexed' Tholian space. Kirk was lost in the interphase and presumed dead. The ''Enterprise'' exchanged fire with the Tholians, and the unstable region incited madness among the crew. A second Tholian vessel joined the engagement, producing a web to ensnare the ''Enterprise''. After various crew members witnessed Kirk's spectral image, he was retrieved from interphase, and the ''Enterprise'' used the rift to escape Tholian entrapment.
