In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, Lt. Kirk was promoted to First Officer of the USS Farragut. Kirk's impressive new posting beat his father, Lt. George Kirk's, record as Starfleet's youngest First Officer. The USS Farragut was commanded by Captain Garrovick before a tragic encounter with a dikironium cloud creature in 2257. The monster killed half of the Farragut's crew, including Captain Garrovick - but who replaced Garrovick as Captain of the Farragut?
Who Is Captain Of USS Farragut In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?
Captain Garrovick Died Years Before Strange New Worlds
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds begins in 2259, and the USS Farragut has been seen a handful of times in the prequel series. However, Strange New Worlds hasn't indicated who the Captain of the Farragut is, and this is hopefully something Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 will reveal. In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 6, "Lost in Translation," the Farragut was placed under the command of Fleet Captain Pike, but this only deepened the mystery of who sits in the Farragut's center seat.
Captain Garrovick’s Son Is In Star Trek: The Original Series
Ensign David Garrovick Influenced A World In Star Trek: Prodigy
The unseen Captain Garrovick's son, Ensign David Garrovick (Stephen Brooks), served on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series. Introduced in Star Trek: The Original Series season 2, episode 18, "Obsession," the newly-transferred Ensign Garrovick and Captain Kirk encountered the same dikironium cloud creature that attacked the USS Farragut in 2257. After Kirk and Garrovick destroyed the creature, the Captain told David a few "tall tales" about his father.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 could add to the Garrovicks' and Farragut's legacies.
