Kirk, George S.

You may be looking for George Kirk, father of James and George.

George Samuel Kirk was the brother of Star Fleet captain James T. Kirk. He was usually called George, but his brother always called him Sam.

In 2265, Sam Kirk saw his brother off when the latter began his five-year mission of exploration in command of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701 . Also saying farewell was Sam's wife, Aurelan and their three sons. On this occasion Sam mentioned that he wished to be transferred to the Earth Colony II research station. (

Sam was a research biologist living with his family on Deneva the following year, when vessels from Ingraham B arrived carrying neural parasites. Many of the colonists, including Sam, were attacked and infiltrated by the parasites. Resisting the parasites' control was excruciatingly painful, but in early 2267, eight months after the Ingraham B vessels arrived, Aurelan managed to break the long communication blackout and get a brief distress call out to the Enterprise. By the time the ship arrived, Sam was dead; his wife died soon after. Their son, Peter, lived and was ultimately freed of the parasites.

Sam's private transmitter was designated GSK 783.
