- thumb|José I. Mendez (2267) José I. Mendez ist ein Flaggoffizier der Sternenflotte aus dem 23. Jahrhundert. Er bekleidet den Rang eines Commodore und löst 2267 Commodore Stone als neuer Kommandant von Sternenbasis 11 ab. In dieser Position kann er auch den Krankheitsverlauf von Fleet Captain Christopher Pike miterleben, als dieser auf Sternenbasis 11 medizinisch betreut wird. Später begrüßt Mendez Captain Kirk und Commander Spock, als die USS Enterprise eine Nachricht erhalten hat, nach Sternenbasis 11 zurückzukehren. Mendez verneint jedoch solch eine Nachricht geschickt zu haben. Allerdings wird später enthüllt, dass Spock diese Nachricht gefälscht hat, um so Captain Pike nach Talos IV zu bringen. Nachdem Spock widerrechtlich das Kommando übernimmt und Kurs auf Talos IV befiehlt, nehmen Mendez und Kirk in einem Shuttle die Verfolgung auf. Als beide auf die Enterprise kommen wird aufgrund Spocks Taten ein Kriegsgericht an Bord abgehalten. Während der Verhandlung stellt sich schließlich heraus, dass Mendez in Wirklichkeit nur eine Illusion ist, geschaffen von den Talosianern. Dadurch wollen sie verhindern, dass Kirk wieder das Kommando übernehmen würde, bevor das Schiff erfolgreich Talos IV erreicht hätte. (TOS: , ) José I. Mendez wurde von Malachi Throne gespielt und von Klaus Guth synchronisiert.
- Commodore José I. Mendez was a male Starfleet flag officer in the 23rd century. In 2267, this decorated command division veteran was the commanding officer of Starbase 11. In his capacity as commander of Starbase 11, Mendez oversaw the care of Fleet Captain Christopher Pike, who had been hospitalized there after exposure to delta radiation left him an invalid. Shortly thereafter, Mendez greeted Captain Kirk, Mister Spock, and Doctor McCoy, after the USS Enterprise diverted to the starbase. Despite Captain Kirk insisting that they had received a subspace message from Captain Pike ordering them to travel to Starbase 11, Mendez maintained that the starbase had sent no such message, and informed them of Captain Pike's accident, revealing that, in the condition he was in, Pike could not have even asked for the message to be sent. It was soon discovered that the message had been falsified by Spock, who covertly transported Captain Pike to the Enterprise and then commandeered the ship, for the purpose of taking Pike to the planet Talos IV. Mendez and Kirk pursued the Enterprise in a shuttlecraft, which was taken aboard when Spock realized that the shuttle would soon run out of oxygen if he did not. As traveling to Talos IV was illegal, Mendez and Kirk convened a court martial on Spock's actions, during which they learned about Pike and Spock's previous visit to that planet. It was eventually revealed to Kirk that Mendez's presence on the Enterprise was an illusion created by the Talosians, who felt that the fiction of a court martial would delay Kirk in regaining control of the ship before it reached Talos IV, and that Mendez had never actually left the starbase. Mendez later contacted the Enterprise, revealing that the Talosians had allowed him to be a witness to the evidence presented at the court martial and that, due to the extreme circumstances surrounding Spock's actions, the restriction against traveling to Talos IV had been temporarily lifted.
