Garth of Izar

Garth (known as Garth of Izar) was a Starfleet line officer on active duty during the 23rd century.


 * The episode gave Garth no other name. Fan fiction has sometimes assumed that this is his surname. "Kelvar Leonard Garth" is from (FASA RPG: The Four Years War'').

Garth was renowned for his victory at Axanar, which was studied thereafter at Starfleet Academy. James T. Kirk, as a midshipman, regarded Garth as one of his heroes.

During the Four Years War, Garth commanded Task Force Constitution from USS. (Star Trek: Avenger)

In the early 2260s, after a transporter accident at Antos IV, the indigenes of that world taught Garth to heal through cellular metamorphosis. This apparently drove him mad and Garth attempted to destroy the Antosians but was prevented from doing so. However, Garth killed both his executive officer and second officer. ( novel: )

Garth was court-martialled and charged with murder. He was then sentenced to rehabilitation at the Federation penal colony on Elba II.

In 2268, when USS was delivering a new therapy to the colony, Garth masqueraded as Gov. Donald Cory and kidnapped both Kirk and Spock. After their release, the therapy was administered to Garth.
