Sulu was a Human Starfleet Officer born in the year 2237 in the city of San Francisco, Earth. Sulu was well known for his role as Chief Helmsman of the Starship USS Enterprise. On a few occasions, as a Senior Officer, he was allowed to be the temporary Captain of the Enterprise when Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock were away on missions. Later on in his career, Sulu was promoted to the Commanding Officer of the USS Excelsior, and was widely known as a tactical genius.
Sulu faced many challenging obstacles during his career on Starfleet. One obstacle occurred when he helped Admiral Kirk and his senior staff steal the Enterprise from Earth’s space dock to save their friend Spock who was on a distant planet. This was an example of how Sulu would break many rules to save those he worked with and respected on Starfleet. He was a loyal officer not only to Starfleet but to his friends. Working together with his fellow long time crew members to save Spock was one of the most important events that happened in his life that changed him into a better person. This life experience made Sulu become an outstanding Commanding Officer in his field.
In 2290, Sulu was promoted to the rank of Captain and offered the command of the USS Excelsior. Captain Sulu was still very loyal to his old crew and even stopped his three year mission to help Kirk and Dr. McCoy when they were accused of a crime by the Klingons. Sulu put his crew in danger to save the men he had served with during half of his life. Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager said many years later that "Captain Sulu, Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy.... belonged to a different breed of Starfleet officers."
