[Ensign Q]

does Captain Kirk allow all ships at location to fire or only his?

[VioletBlaze]

The Glossary tells us:

This personnel's special skill, "May initiate battle against non-[Fed]," allows only his ship to initiate battle. Your other Federation ships (or ships with any Federation crew) present may not participate in that battle. (He may also lead an Away Team or crew in personnel battle.) See Rulebook: Battle: Initiating a Battle, non-Federation.

Hope that answers your question!
