Kirk's family members etc in the old novels.
- Thread starter urrutiap
- Start date
Kirk's only sibling was his brother Sam, established in "Operation -- Annihilate!" The only work that's ever asserted any other siblings, as far as I know, was William Rotsler's Star Trek II Biographies, which postulated a sister named Michele Suzanne Kirk, but didn't reveal anything about her beyond her name.
Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: The Motion Picture novelization established that Kirk had had a one-year marriage contract with Vice Admiral Lori Ciana during his tenure as Chief of Starfleet Operations. I referenced that backstory in Ex Machina. The later novels by William Shatner with Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens gave him a wife named Teilani.
Isn't the one year contract with Lori Ciana and the aftermath of it ending briefly covered in one of The Lost Years book? A Flag Full of Stars or Traitor Winds?
Oh yeah, Ciana's in some of those. I forget the specifics.
There were stories on his nephew doing various things.
Kirk had a whole menagerie of past women in his life.

His nephew Peter has featured in a few books, notably Gemini and Sarek. A line in What Are Little Girls Made Of says he had two other nephews who didn’t appear with the family in Operation: Annihilate (though O:A also calls Peter Kirk’s only surviving family) and The Last Round Up names them Alexander and Julius (and other non-novels have gone with other names). All sources have indicated that these are all Sam and Aurelian’s children, as opposed to children from other siblings.
Kirk's unnamed nephews have been given a lot of different names in various non-canon stories:

Shatner's Star Trek Academy: Collision Course gives his father's name as George Joseph Kirk.
One other old novel, I forget which, has his father mentioned as a politician in Iowa and a member of the Keep Earth Human League.

Where one of them
Was involved in the Orion Syndicate.
Memory Beta has a partial family tree of the Kirks:

That was the Bantam novel World Without End. It wasn't the KEHL, though, that's from Sarek, but the "Back-to-Earth" movement. I don't think BTE was as xenophobic as KEHL.
More recently, the Prometheus trilogy by @Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg included Jenna Winona Kirk, descendant of Sam, Aurelian, and Peter.
Ah, getting my Treklit anti-alien groups mixed up.
..just waiting for someone to randomly mention Kirks mothers *urk*love instructor...
Instructors aren't family. Sex work is a perfectly valid profession, but it's still a profession, not a personal relationship.
Hmm... let's not with the name calling okay?
