How many people does each crew kill?

I'm sure this has been done before, but how many people does each crew directly kill? Obviously ship-to-ship combat distorts it a bit.

I had this thought while rewatching "The Killing Game" recently. Janeway ends up having to shoot the Hirogen second-in-command with a holo-M1 Garand, which I think is the only time she personally kills anyone in the entire show (yeah yeah, except Tuvix).

Off the top of my head, not counting ship combat, androids/computers, and seemingly non-sentient animals:
TOS:
McCoy shoots the Salt Vampire to death in "The Man Trap"
Kirk buries Gary Mitchell under rocks in "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
Noel kicks one of Adams' guards into an electric panel in "Dagger of the Mind"
Kirk essentially kills Korob and Sylvia by destroying their transmuters in "Catspaw"
Kirk and Spock kill several Capellans in "Friday's Child", iirc
Kirk and Garrovick blow up the cloud creature in "Obsession", I suppose you can debate whether it was sentient
Kirk kills Kloog in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" by throwing a spear at him
The crew kill all the surviving Zetarians in "The Lights of Zetar"
TNG:
The two Klingons in "Heart of Glory" are shot to death while trying to take over the ship
Remmick and the Mother Parasite are shot by Riker and Picard in "Conspiracy". Riker also shoots several other people, no idea if they're meant to be dead or not. I doubt the episode cares.
Picard kills his past self in "Time Squared"; I guess you could argue that the other Picard never existed when the timeline resets
Riker shoots Yuta to death due to awkward choreography in "The Vengenace Factor"
Picard stabs a Klingon assassin in "Sins of the Father"
Worf kills Duras in "Reunion"
Picard kills absolutely everyone in "Starship Mine", I forget how many. like eight people, maybe?
Beverly shoots Jo'Bril in "Suspicions"
VGR:
Neelix shoves Jonas into some weird disintegration stream in "Investigations". Still can't tell thirty years later whether it was meant to be deliberate or not...
Janeway separates Tuvix
Suder kills Darwin in "Meld"
Suder kills like three trillion Kazon in "Basics"
Kes discorporates Tieran in "Warlord"
Tuvok shoves a guy who's name I forgot out of the elevator in "Rise". Again, I can't tell if this was intended as deliberate or not!
Hirogen Beta Guy Whose Name I Forget is shot by Janeway in "The Killing Game"
That won't be comprehensive by any means, and I don't think I remember any of the other series well enough to try them.

There are too many unanswered questions for any kind of accuracy. DS9 had the Defiant blow up lots of ships and some of them were huge, how many crew were on them? What about when they made that star go nova and take out a shipyard? How many were on Nero's crew? Or Shinzon's?

Do the Borg count as people? Janeway pretty much ended them all in "Endgame" at least in Trek's prime timeline. And then there's "Future's End", do we count deaths in other timelines?
 
Yes. they have an individual existence when not on duty and can be separated from the whole and continue on without their primary connectivity but potentially in a diminished state, much like Trekkies.
Are you kidding? Trekkies can't agree on anything. If you sent the active membership of TrekBBS to assimilate a planet, we'd have 184 different plans and be defeated within minutes. :lol:

Are we talking "people killed personally" or "people killed as a result of character actions". Because James Kirk may or may not have wiped out a few species.
 
How about by inaction? Archer and those people going extinct he wouldn't give a cure to.

Also I imagine a few people died after TNG's "Symbiosis", judging from the mural in Lower Decks when they revisited the planet.
 
TOS Movies
  • ST II: It appears Kirk's attacks on Reliant killed all of Khan's people, which is like 13. Khan offs himself with the Genesis kaboom.
  • ST III: Young Spock hurls a Klingon away, who's never seen to move again, and gets blowed up with the planet. Kirk blows up the Enterprise and kills Torg and the other five Klingons who boarded, he then shoots the remaining Klingon guard, who dies with the Genesis Planet if he's not dead beforehand, and then drops Kruge into lava.
  • STIV: Burke and Samno kill Gorkon. Valeris kills Burke and Samno. Kirk's single torpedo blows up the BOP, which, if the crew is the same size as Kruge's, means at least 8, counting Chang. Scotty shoots the Klingon/Col. West in Klingon makeup, so that's another dead.
