Steven A. Garrovick

Ensign Steven A. Garrovick was a 23rd century Starfleet security officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.

Garrovick's late father was the Commanding Officer of the USS Farragut (NCC-1647). His cousin, John Quincy Garrovick, is the Commanding Officer of the USS Exeter (NCC-1706)

In 2265, on planet Argus X Ensign Garrovick encountered the same Dikironium cloud creature that was responsible for the deaths of his father and 200 crew members of the Farragut 11 years earlier. Garrovick sighted the creature but became startled and did not immediately fire his phaser. Kirk held Garrovick responsible, believing that he could have somehow prevented the deaths of two additional men. It was later proved that phasers and photon torpedoes were ineffective against the creature, and that nothing Garrovick could have done would have made any difference.

Later, on the surface of planet Tycho IV, Kirk and Ensign Garrovick attempted to set a trap, which consisted of a container of red blood plasma and an antimatter bomb, for the creature. However, before the trap could be set, the creature devoured the plasma. Kirk ordered Garrovick to beam back to the Enterprise. Garrovick, out of a sense of heroics, and not wanting to see his Captain sacrifice himself, attempted (unsuccessfully) to knock Kirk out. After a brief struggle, both men come to their senses. As the creature approached, they both beamed back aboard the Enterprise as the bomb went off, destroying the creature.
