Kirk served as his executive officer for a time. (The Starfleet Museum) By 2267, he had been promoted to the rank of Commodore and commanded the USS Constellation. In that same year, a Planet Killer crippled the Constellation under his command and killed his crew, whom he'd evacuated to L-374's third planet, leaving him the sole survivor. The USS Enterprise responded, but revenge and grief made Decker unstable. He stole a shuttlecraft, dying in the Planet Killer's maw while trying to destroy the machine. His sacrifice, however, allowed the Enterprise time to disable the machine.
