Peter Kirk

Peter Kirk was the son of George Samuel Kirk and Aurelan Kirk, and the nephew of Captain James T. Kirk.

In 2266, he lived with his parents at the Deneva colony. Late that year, travelers from Ingraham B brought neural parasites to the colony; over the next eight months, these parasites infiltrated and overwhelmed the colony, infecting nearly everyone. By the time of the Enterprise's 2267 visit, Peter and Aurelan were infected and George had died, presumably resisting the parasites' control. Though Captain Kirk discovered how to destroy the parasites in time to save Peter and the colony, his discovery came too late to save Aurelan.

Peter had two siblings, but they had both passed by the time of the neural parasite invasion of Deneva.
