FEEDBACK To the Sub-Space News: Even if not the first electron Star Trek fanzine, these past two issues have shown you to be the equal of and superior to much of the printed material I receive each month. Considering the low production cost, the Electronic Magazine is sure to become more common in the coming years. I'm looking forward to the next issue, but I have a couple of tidbits I'd like to bring up. First, there's a definite lack of material on the old crew, especially considering their recent movie. Second, a list of upcoming conventions and their contents would come in good use. By the way, I loved the list of important dates in your second issue. Where did you find all that information?

Since Richard apparently now feels comfortable with discussing specific Paramount inner workings on a public forum, then I can do no less. 1) ON being a hypocrite by not stating that my fight is with Gene and not Richard--Quite the contrary. It is, in fact because Trek novelists think so highly of Gene Roddenberry that we are convinced the pronouncements being handed down are NOT from Gene. I, for one, have [no] trouble working within Gene's universe. What I have trouble with are memos filled with contradic- tory statements (such as that Kirk is no longer interested in relationships with women), couched in insulting and demeaning terms that are at odds with the gentlemanly demenaor with which GEne has usually been associated. And tell me, Richard...is Gene's laywer removing yoiu from the approval loop also really a quarrel with Gene? Is Gene's lawyer a hypocrite as well? 2) ON Gene's objections to VENDETTA that resulted in it carrying a disclaim- er: This is a fascinating agglomeration of undocumented allegations and distortions of the original proposal. I have two official memos from the Trek office which directly contradict each other. The first, dated 9/11/90, states several concerns of a technical nature in regards to the original VENDETTA proposal, all of which were easily fixed in a revised proposal. No mention there of problems with crossed universes and such things. The memo was also reasonably phrased and easy to deal with. The second memo, dated 9/25/90, suddenly stated that the proposal contradicted everythying known about the Borg (it didn't) and was unacceptable. Hence the eventual disclaimer. Anyone who has read VENDETTA will know that the various so-called objection- able elements that Richard cites--excess info on Guinan's background, Wesley pursuing hormonal rushes in the direction of the Borg soldier--are not present. Vengeance themes not acceptable, Richard? There goes "Doomsday Machine" and "Obsession." Crossed universes? Kiss good-bye to "Naked Now," "Sarek," and "Unification." 3) ON my being stunned since I must have been expecting Gene's office to quash Q IN LAW--oddly, Richard fails to mention the 2/26/91 memo that states "Peter David read a portion of (Q IN LAW) at a recent New York convention, and it was clear that he has forced his peculiar sense of humor into this novel as well. I will not have STAR TREK created as a joke, either its characters or its format.) This memo was ostensibly from GEne-- but Gene was 3000 miles away when I did the reading (pages 103-105 and 120-124 of the published book.) Richard was at the convention, but he told me at the time that he hadn't been present when I did the reading. But he's since told others that he was. Whoops. He also didn't mention the insuing two months during which Pocket Books was stonewalled on getting Q IN LAW approved. "Fix it," Pocket was told, although no specifics were given as to how. Finally I got a copy of the ms to Majel Barrett, in hopes that she might be able to tell me where I had gone wrong in the presentation of the characters in general and Lwaxana in particular (much as Marina Sirtis had been most helpeful in pointers on Deanna for "Rock and a Hard Place.") Ms. Barrett read it, told a number of people (including Richard) how wonderful it was, and lo and behold the manuscript was approved as is. So yes, I was stunned...but not for the reasons Richard believes. 4) ON his assertion that I plant people with questions in audiences-- actually, people come to me and say, "Do you mind if I asked Richard about such-and-such." And I always say the same thing: "Do what you want, it's a free country. But I wouldn't advise it since he'll make you look foolish." Which he generally does. His statements that my going on SeaTrek was unadvertised does not take into account GEnie and Compuserv, where my attendance was indeed advertised. 5) ON Richard being fired--just for the record, that didn't originate with me. I suspect it had its basis in Richard's being taken oiut of the approval loop. 6) On "Robert Bruce Banner" having no trouble getting a story approved-- Yes, sometimes violence is more appropriate than other times. Which does nothing to answer the question of this rather remarkable coincidence. 7) Richard states that stating on the one hand, new races should be created, and the on the other hand, that they shouldn't be created, is not contradictory. Pardon me, Richard...yes it is. 8) On using names of real people in writing "Trek" novels and comics-- What a deplorable stunt. What would "Texas" Guinan, the famed prohibition era saloon owner, say? Or, for that matter, how would Eugene Wesley Roddenberry respond? 9) On his statement that he never said I'm ruining Star Trek and never said people shouldn't buy my books--just for kicks, let's say Richard is telling the truth. That means that Bill Mumy (not Billy) lied when he told me that Richard said I was turning Trek into a Mad Magazine parody. That means that the questioners at the February cretaion con were lying when they asked me to comment on Richard's alleged statement of same at a previous convention (hey, maybe Richard planted them!) . That means that the audience memebers at SeaTrek were lying when they reported that Richard stated anyone buying VENDETTA was "a traitor to Gene Roddenberry." So many, many liars. 10) On stating that Richard signs Gene's memos--well, I know *I* never said that. Written, yes, but not signed. 11) On the supposedly insulting "convention planet"--some other time I'll post the sequence he's mentioning. But it was a two page bit out of a 48 page story, not--as he represents--the entire story. And it was damned funny. 12) On my rudest slap at Gene yet--I did indeed write a speech for Kirk in which he says that the Federation believes in freedom of expression. Richard reads that as an insult to Gene. First, it's in the Bill of Rights. Second, Picard says much the same thing in "The Drumhead," as Tim Lynch notes. And third, the concept that expressing belief in free speech is an insult to Gene Roddenberry, the man who gave us the the spirit of brotherhood and freedom that *is* Star Trek, is a greater comment on Arnold--sorry, RIchard--than anything else I could possibly say. Oh...I do find it ironic that, in praising my friend Howie Weinstein, Richard says "He picks his issue and wraps a Star Trek story around it. That's what good writing is for Star Trek. You do your AIDS parable, you do your environmental parable, you do your story about prejudice..." Uh, Richard? The AIDS parable, the environmental parable? Those were mind. Issues 2 and 3 of the comic, and last year's annual. So, to summarize: 1) Why is VENDETTA unacceptable when none of the "objectionable" elements are present? 2) Why was Q IN LAW unacceptable for so long and then suddenly, poof, it was acceptable? Could it be that, all those months, Richard never really read it? Just rejected it? 3) Why would all those people lie about your badmouthing me? Is their gripe really with Gene too? 4) Why is the mere *mention* of freedom of expression an insult to Gene Roddenberry? 5) Why do you cite stories I wrote as examples of good Trek writing, but say I'm "not a good Star Trek writer"? I am most appreciative of Richard wanting to set the record straight. I am still waiting. Peter David PS--Same deal as with the interview. Anyone who wants to repro this can feel free to do so.

The last such mission to study this phenomenon was the original Enterprise under the command of James Kirk. It is imperative that we find out why it has returned and just what causes these apparent violations of the laws of physics... Picard: Data, status of that..."thing." Data: Sir, if by thing you mean the singularity, sensors indicate that it is growing more unstable at this time. Picard: Hmm...suggestions, anyone? Yar: Photon torpedoes armed and ready, Captain! Just one good shot-- Worf: I'm a Klingon, sir. Respectfully submit we cease this wasteful pandering and go find another alien culture to conquer- er, enlist in the Federation! Troi: I'm getting nothing from it, sir. Whatever it is, it won't help our ratings... Wes: Of course! If I modify the output from the warp engines-- Picard: Shut up, Wesley! That's enough! What about you, number one? Riker: Are you asking me to confirm what you've already decided, Sir? Why, we'll stay and investigate, of course. (looks eager) LaForge: Sir, I'm "seeing" all sorts of new, strange activity across the spectrum, infra-red, microwave, and radio. Data: Sensors indicate gravitational field intensity increasing! Picard: What the...? Data: Captain, we are being pulled in... (PLACE COMMERCIAL HERE....) CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 3714.2 The Enterprise has been delayed while relaying emergency vaccines to plague- ridden Cyron IV by the appearance of a naked singularity. First officer Spock is leading the investigation. McCoy: Dammit, Jim! We've got to get that vaccine to the rendezvous in two days or billions will die! Spock (looking up from peep show viewer): Two days, one hour, sixteen minutes, and seven seconds, Doctor. McCoy: Blast it, Spock, I'm a doctor, not a cuckoo clock! Kirk: Gentlemen, please. We'll get that vaccine there, Bones. The rendezvous with the Yorktown is only a day away at Warp 8. : I heard that! She canna take the strain, Captain. Warp 6 maybe, but only if we were fresh out of spacedock... Kirk (flashing a winning grin at no one in particular): Take it easy, Scotty! You can do it, or you're fired. : Aye, sir... Spock (looks into viewer): Captain, I'm picking up readings of gravity fluctuations from the singularity. Kirk: Red alert! Shields up, Mr. Sulu. Lt. Uhura, open hailing frequencies...(stands, straightens uniform over belly) This is Captain James T. Kirk of the-- Spock: Sir, it is only a natural phenomenon... Kirk: Oh... Cancel red alert. Maintain ready status. Chekov: Keptin Kirk! SOmething has just activated my long range sensors-- eet's some kind of wessel! Spock: Confirmed, Captain. Kirk: Red alert! (throws spock an 'I told you so' look) Sulu, go to full magnification! Uhura, open-- Uhura: Hailing frequencies already open sir. Broadcasting friendship messages in all languages. Spock: Fascinating! (looks up from viewer) Jim--it's the Enterprise! (INSERT COMMERCIAL HERE) CAPTAIN'S LOG, SUPPLEMENTAL After being pulled into the naked singularity, we find ourselves powerless and drifting towards another ship, which if our sensors were working, we could identify... Picard: any word on that ship yet? Data: No, sir. We will not be close enough for visual contact for another two minutes, three sec-- Picard: LaForge, get down to the lounge and see if you can tell what itis. LaForge: Aye, Sir. Picard: Oh, and Engsign Crusher? Wes: Sir? Picard: Shut up! (Wes looks confused yet again) Data: Sir, I wish to report something strange... Picard: Strange? Data: Is that not the word? (furrows brow, looking at his nose while thinking) Abormal? Irregular? Biza-- Riker: Daaaaaa-ta! Data: Oh, yes. Sir, this may sound highly irregular, but computer com- parisons of the ship library's astronomical charts with current sensor readings would seem to indicate that we have travelled back in time. Data: They were not. However, due to time limitations placed on us by the writers, we had to skip a few minor details. Riker: Are you saying we're no longer in the present as we know it? (looks bewildered). : LaForge to Bridge! Captain, this is going to sound bogus, but I see the Enterprise! Riker: Way to go, Geordi! Who gave you your sight back this time? : Sir? Not this Enterprise, but the old one! The old Constitution Class starship! Yar: Confirmed, sir! We're being hailed in all the old Federation friend- ship messages. Picard: What??? Any suggestions? Riker: Might as well see what they want. Troi, are you feeling anything? Troi: Not at the moment; (switches to Riker's mental wavelength) but that doesn't mean I won't later, Amzadi... (Riker primps) Picard: On visual, Lieutenant. (a stocky, sandy-haired man who is obviously on a diet appears. Standing behind him is a tall, lean Vulcan whose hands are apparently cuffed behind his back) "...This is Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise. We are on a peaceful mission! Explain who you are, or we will open fire!" Picard (to Yar): Broadcast on all frequencies, in all languages... "We Surrender." (INSERT COMMERCIAL HERE) Captain's Log, supplemental: A highly advanced alien ship has seemingly surrendered to us for no apparent reason. Partly due to this, and partly because the alien vessel so closely resembles our own, Mr. Spock has advised extreme caution. Question: Is this some kind of mind control? Are we being made to see images and forms that are familiar to us to lull us into complacency? The lives of 430 crewmen depend on my decisions. On.... my.... decisions!! Kirk: We have not asked for a surrender! Only that you identify yourselves and state your purpose.. Kirk: Waitaminnut! *This* is the Enterprise! Kirk: My 1st officer and I will take it under consideration. Please stand by! (screen blanks out) Scotty: Captain! Did ye see thot- a Klingon on thot ship! If they are from our future, let's put 'em oot o' their misery! Kirk: One moment, Mr. Scott. Spock? I do believe your eyebrow betrays your highly emotional state! Spock: Really? I see no need to insult me; I merely was attempting to scratch my forehead against my bangs so as not to expend the energy involved in raising my arm. However, I feel I should point out that if indeed there is an advanced alien culture aboard that vessel, and if they wanted to appear in a form familiar to us, they would either have to read our thoughts or scan the ship's records. Without such knowledge, they would have no pattern on which to base their deception. Ship's sensors would have alerted us to any scans, though I have detected some kind of telepathic activity coming from the alien ship. McCoy: Damn your Vulcan logic! If they were going to go through all the trouble of disguising themselves, then why not look just like us? Why these differences, like Klingons on a Federation ship? The wrong colors on the uniforms?? A less-than-perfect copy of the Enterprise??? I'll tell you why; they're mistakes! These new writers don't have what it takes, time or talent, and as a result we're just going to skip over the whole thing because we have to move along and can't involve ourselves minor details like continuity! Spock: Captain, I suggest the best course of action would be beaming over to the alien ship for direct observation. We have not yet used the transporter this episode, and i would like the opportunity to study the highly advanced computer they possess; ours doesn't "tick." Kirk: Good idea! Uhura...? Uhura (sighs): Aye, sir....on visual.. Kirk: Due to the complexity of the situation, perhaps it would be best if my first officer and I beamed over to your ship... Picard (to person offscreen): Suggestions? Will it violate the Prime Directive? Riker (offscreen): Sir, their Prime Directive is our Prime Directive... Picard: Good! Then no harm is done! (to Kirk) Very well. You have our coordinates. Make it so! Kirk: Excellent! We'll beam over in 5 minutes. Kirk out!.... Kirk: Scotty, can you beam us over? Scott: No sir! Whot with this singularity beasties' effect an' all, it'll be 2 hours before we ken even transport a fly! Kirk: Scotty, I want that transporter working in 5 minutes!! Scott (sighs also): Aye, sir... Kirk: If one more person sighs heavily because I make an unreasonable demand, I'll put that person in the brig!!! (hits no button in particular on his chair's arm) Security? : Blue Moon Detective Agency! Do aliens hate you; Tribbles berate you? Is your tricorder missing; Your Yeoman not kissing? Then give us a call- We'll take the fall! Kirk: Security, send two men to the transporter room. I want them there in 5 minutes!! : (sigh!) Aye, sir. I'll see if they're in their office... (cut to shot of transporter room) (security guard enters) Kirk: Yeoman Kyle, you have the coordinates. Beam us over safely and maybe I'll have that big picture on the wall you've been staring at for 3 seasons changed... (turns, examines guard) I thought I sent for two men, Ensign....? Guard: Addison, Ensign David Addison, sir. There should be two of us, but my partner is on maternity leave, and I think I'm on the wrong set... Kirk: Hmmm... Only one guard. Can you handle a phaser? Guard: Ha! Do Klingons clingeth? Do Thesaurians thesaureth? Do you and Spock-- Kirk: All right! I get the picture! We'll take you along, but first you have to trade shirts with me! Guard: Sir? Is this like Twister? Kirk: You heard me! Apparently, their security division color is mustard- gold, and if you think I'm beaming over in a security color uniform... Guard: Aye, sir.. (Removes shirt. Kirk gets in a fight offscreen and has his forcibly removed. Hands dirty tatters to Addison.) Kirk: And another thing: get rid of those.... (waves hand towards Addison's head) .....those whatever! Guard: Awww... Not my Ray-Bans! If the brothers in Philly ever see me like this... (the three men step onto the platform) Kirk: Energize! (Reality swirls. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and the security guard materialize on the new Bridge.) Kirk: Hey! I thought there were only three of us! McCoy: It's those damn fool writers again! (Picard steps forward) Picard: I'm Captain Jean Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise, number NCC-1701..."D." Spock: Fascinating! Kirk: "D?" Picard: Yes, Captain. You see, although in reality this is only the third Enterprise, it was decided to skip "B" and "C" and name it in your honor... Kirk: My honor? But what happened to the original Enterprise? Picard: You blew it up! Kirk: I what?? McCoy: Jim! Before you call this man a liar, just think of your record! Your habits! The risks you take!! Kirk: Well,... what about the 2nd one? Picard: Let's just say you're consistent.... Kirk: Oh...... But why "D?" Why not "t?" Riker (tries to look like Kirk): They already used that in *my* name, sir. No, they chose a most unusual method for picking the "D." Data? Data: To honor your statement "The Enterprise is a beautiful lady, and we love her," Starfleet historians went back and obtained the bra cup size of every woman, and alien, you ever kissed. The average was obtained, and appended to the number for the Enterprise. Hence, "1701-D." (Kirk looks innocently about. McCoy rocks on his heels. Spock prevaricates.) Kirk: I'm...... honored, I suppose. Picard: Ah! But I'm neglectful, certainly! Allow me to introduce my Bridge crew. Any suggestions as to what order, anyone? No, never mind; Let's throw caution to the wind! My first, William Riker (primps); 2nd- in-command Lt Cmndr Data; ship's counselor, Deanna Troi (Kirk's eyes twinkle- Troi blushes, breathes faster); security chief Yar (now Kirk breathes faster- Troi receives impressions of the number "3"); Lt. LaForge, our blind navigator (Spock raises eyebrow); and Lt. Worf, whose exact duties have never been revealed... Kirk: Worf?? He looks familiar. Bones? (McCoy walks over, passes med-scanner over Worf.) McCoy: Jim! This man is a Klingon!! (Security guard raises phaser, but is blown away by Yar and Worf.) McCoy (passes scanner over guard): He's dead, Jim! LaForge: Well, now ABC has a chance to find someone that Cybill can work with... Kirk: That man! He was one of my crew! Data: A most appropriate choice of tense, Captain. Kirk: Only 429 lives left! And I'm responsible for them!! I'm..... Responsible!! My.... decisions!!! (INSERT COMMERCIAL HERE) Captain's Log, Stardate 3714.9 After beaming over to the strange "alien" vessel which claims to come from our future, we are greeted by humanoid life forms, one of which is a Klingon. This fact has already cost me the life of one of my crew. I'm saddened, but yet I feel a strange sense of elation at having had the foresight to change uniforms... Medical Log, Leonard McCoy reporting: He's dead, Jim. And I'll tell you something else; there isn't any reason he shouldn't be! He's just not alive anymore, and there's not a damn thing I can do to change it! Kirk: One of my men is dead! How many more must die before you've had enough? Picard: On the contrary, Captain! It was one of your 23rd Century savages who attacked for no reason! It's hard to believe we were once as primitive as you... (the two men continue the argument, oblivious to Yar and Worf, who are still attacking the body) Kirk: The Klingons are our sworn enemy! Picard: *Were* your sworn enemy! Kirk: My man was just doing what any other man would have done in his position. And for someone who calls us savages, I find it highly irregular that "civilized" beings like yourselves would carry weapons on the Bridge! (McCoy sees Yar and Worf) McCoy: Stop it!.... Stop it!! You just don't keep hacking away at a man after he's down!! Picard: Lieutenant Yar, report! Yar: (stands, faces Picard) Speaking strictly as Security Chief, just how much can you trust a dead person on the Bridge? Worf: I'm a Klingon, sir. I live for this-- Picard: Not on my Bridge, you won't! (turns to Kirk) I assume you'd like to return your man to your ship? Kirk: Yes, thank you. (flips open communicator) Kirk to Enterprise, come in Enterprise... : Enterprise! Scott here... Kirk: Mr. Scott, there's been an accident over here; we've lost another security guard. : Och! Thot'll be the fifth this week! Kirk: I know, Scotty. One to beam over; better put the ship on Yellow Alert. Kirk out. (body dematerializes; Worf becomes visibly down-hearted) Picard: I'm sorry about your man. If it's any consolation, he wasn't the father; it was Sam's baby... Kirk: Death... is never justifiable... Troi: I know how you feel, Captain. Kirk: Do you, Counselor? Do you really know what it's like to be responsible for the live of 430-- Data: Four hundred and twenty-nine, sir. Kirk: --429 men and women?? Troi: Sir, I am half Betazoid. I can sense strong emotions and feelings. Your sense of loss is most intense; it is difficult not to feel it... Spock: (to Kirk) Undoubtably the source of the telepathy I perceived earlier coming from this ship, Captain. Troi: Strange. You appear to be Vulcan, yet I sense some emotions in you! McCoy: What's the matter, Spock? Slipping? Spock: No, Doctor. As you are well aware, I possess a Human half that is sometimes difficult to control. I hope to someday purge all emotions and embrace total logic, thus achieving Kolinahr. McCoy: Well, just so long as you change your pants after you achieve it... Data: (to Spock) Most unusual. We are very much alike, you and I, yet you state your desire to suppress your Human tendencies. I, on the other hand, wish I could become more Human. Kirk: You mean you're not? Data: No, sir. I am an android. A computer. A -- Kirk: You're a machine?? And you're second in command?? Data: I'm also in several bio-mechanical texts. Riker: It's Starfleet's policy never to discriminate against any sentient life form. Mr. Data has never failed any test for sentience. I might add that all Academy graduates are required to be sentient. Yar: A pity your security details never had to pass these tests! Maybe if they had, you would have a Chief of Security... Data: (aside, to Kirk) Ask me sometime about the advantages of having a Chief of Security... McCoy: So! Is that what it's come to! Machines taking over for man, just because they can think faster? Well, I don't buy it! There are just some things a machine can't do!! I'd name 'em, but there are children watching this show... Data: But sir! I *am* fully functional. Troi: Tasha? Why do I sense embarrassment?? (Kirk's communicator beeps) Beep, Beep!! <-- special effects (He answers it) Kirk: Kirk here. What is it, Scotty? : Sir? This is Lt. Uhura; Mr.Scott is in engineering. Kirk: Engineering? But I left Scotty in charge! What's wrong? What's going on on my ship?? : I don't know, sir. We're losing power, and we don't know why! Captain... I'm frightened!! Spock: Spock here. Mr. Sulu, at what rate is the Enterprise losing power? : We're down to 80% power, but the drain is increasing geometrically. We have maybe (static)ve more hours at (more static) lose all power and are pulled into the (even more static) ...source is the alien (complete static)...... Kirk: Sulu! (taps communicator) Mr.Sulu!! Can you read me? McCoy: It's dead, Jim! I can't get anything on mine, either! Kirk: Well, it looks like we're here for awhile. (turns to Picard) But what concerns me is why you're draining energy from my ship! Picard: I assure you, we are doing no such thing! Spock: Yours is the only ship in the area; it is only logical to assume it is the source of the power drain. If your ship is not the source, then what is? Picard: Hmmm... Good idea! Suggestions, anyone? Spock: Perhaps if we spoke with your chief engineer... Picard: I'm afraid that's not possible. Kirk: That's my ship losing power over there, mister! You better make it possible!! Picard: No, you don't understand. We don't *have* a chief engineer. McCoy: What?? Picard: That's usually my line, Doctor. (to Kirk) You see, there just wasn't anybody cast in the role of chief engineer. The writers gave us a Chief of Security instead. McCoy: So what do you do now? Kill off engineers instead of security? Riker: (says eagerly) Well, the only person to be killed so far has been an engineer... Kirk: You mean to tell me that someday, the Federation will put Klingons on the Bridge, arm their Bridge crews, kill off engineers instead of security guards, and place machines in the chain of command?? LaForge: You forgot the part about letting a blind person drive theship, sir. (Troi steps forward, wobbles a little) Troi: I.... I sense.... I... (Troi collapses. McCoy and Riker rush over) Picard: (hits communicator on chest) Bridge to Sick Bay! Medical Alert! Dr.Crusher to the Bridge!! : I'm on my way! Picard: Does anyone have ideas as to why Counselor Troi collapsed? Riker: Unknown at this moment, Captain. McCoy: She seems to be suffering from some virus. It might be communicable! Spock: Sir, if that is the case, the Bridge personnel should be quarantined. Picard: I'll do no such thing! As you know, we do things a bit differently in the 24th Century. (turns to face Bridge Crew) LaForge? You got to spread the virus last time; whose turn is it now? Yar: Mine, sir. Picard: Very well. Make sure you miss no one! Remember: it's vital that as many people as possible get sick in as short a time as possible. We haven't had any good dramatic tension since the security guard was killed. Yar: Aye, aye, sir. (she moves off and begins kissing everyone as Dr. Crusher comes onto the Bridge) (Crusher passes scanner over Troi) Crusher: Oh, my God... Oh, my God!... Picard: What? What?? Crusher: It's some virus I've never seen before! Riker: Is there an antidote of anykind? Crusher: Like I said, I've never seen it before. I'll be lucky to come up with a vaccine in time, *if* there's a vaccine! Judging by it's rate of progress, you all have 3 hours to live!! Picard: What?? Kirk: "You" have 3 hours? Don't you mean "We?" Crusher: I meant "You;" I never catch any of the illnesses I treat, or don't you watch the show? (turns to Picard) Three hours at best, Captain... I'LL MISS YOU, JEAN LUC.... (INSERT COMMERCIAL HERE) Captain's Log, supplemental: A deadly virus has appeared aboard the Enterprise. Unless Dr.Crusher can come up with an antidote in 3 hours, we will all die! Meanwhile, the mysterious power drain continues to affect the other Enterprise. Security is investigating, as the source of the drain appears to be on this ship! Picard: What are the symptoms, Doctor? Crusher: I don't know, sir. Picard: Well, can you isolate it? Crusher: Again, I don't know! Picard: Then if you know nothing about it, how can you predict that we have only three hours left to live?? Crusher: I don't know, sir! I just looked at my tricorder, and that's what it said! Oh, I suppose I can take some blood samples or run some tests, but beyond that, I just don't know, Jean Luc!! Picard: Good work, Doctor! Make it so! Spock: (under his breath) As I have always maintained, members of the medical profession would do better to employ the use of beads and rattles... Kirk: What's that, Mr.Spock? Spock: I said, based on the doctor's investigation and evaluation of the virus, I would venture to say that Doctor McCoy's medical methods were, for some reason, widely adopted among Starfleet personnel. Perhaps in order to effect some method of population control.. McCoy: That's enough, Spock! Can't you see? This woman relies too much on a machine and not on her human intuition! And you're not the one to use human intuition, are you? You pointy-eared logic circuit! Why, if I weren't-- Kirk: That's enough, Bones; Spock! We have only a few hours left. I suggest we use them wisely. Data: Two hours, fifty-five minutes and 17 seconds, sir. McCoy: (to Kirk) Kinda reminds you of someone, doesn't he?? (thumbs his head at spock) Kirk: Bones, why don't you see what you can figure out about this virus! (McCoy leaves) Picard: I assure you, Captain! Dr. Crusher is most competent.. Kirk: If you don't mind, Dr.McCoy will proceed nonetheless. Picard: Do you distrust my Chief Medical Officer? Kirk: Just what would you do in my position? I'm on board a plague ship with a clueless albeit attractive CMO who is on first name terms with the Captain. Both parties continually exchange furtive glances, not to mention the doubt surrounding the parentage of the only child on board who is allowed access to the Bridge! Picard: Hmmmm... Quite so! (looks around) Has anyone seen Wesley? (Everyone looks around, but he's not there) Picard: Computer? Tell me the location of Wesley Crusher! : The boy? Picard: Yes! The Boy! : The boy is in Engineering, section 6. Have a nice day! Picard: Bridge to Engineering! Is Wesley there? : The boy? Yes, he's here. One moment... : Yes, Fath-- er, Captain Picard? Picard: Is that you Wesley? : Yes, sir! Picard: Good. Shut up! Bridge out! Worf: Sir! Sensors indicate the other Enterprise's orbit is beginning to fluctuate! It's as if their controls were sluggish... Picard: What?? Riker: Have they lost all power? Worf: No, sir. Power loss seems to have leveled off. They are at 15% power. Kirk: Fifteen percent? But that's barely enough for life support and helm control! The lives of -- Picard: Yes, yes, we know! Spock: Fascinating! It's as if the source of the power drain knew the precise level of power the Enterprise could be lowered to and yet maintain control of vital functions.. Kirk: So you're saying the Enterprise shouldn't lose anymore power? Spock: Read my lips, Jim! I believe I inferred as much. The only logical question that remains is what will the stolen power be used for? Riker: And don't forget; we need to know who's taking it! Kirk: Anything else, Spock? Spock: Affirmative. Why has no one else succumbed to the virus? Picard: Good point! Comment, anyone? Riker: I feel fine, sir! Data: As do I, sir. LaForge: Me too, sir. Picard: Well, I think it's safe to say that if Counselor Troi were here, she would say that she feels that we feel fine! Riker: Makes "sense", sir. (Kirk groans) Picard: Bridge to Sickbay! Doctor Crusher, why has no one else been infected? : I don't know, sir!... Damn! Where are all those wise sayings we doctors are supposed to say at times like these? Picard: Doctor!... Beverly,... get a hold of yourself! It's all right! : (sniffle) Thanks, Jean Luc... : Jim? McCoy here! I think I have it! It's not a virus at all! Kirk: What do you mean, Bones? : If it's all right with you, I'll explain it when I come up to the Bridge for the final scene... Kirk: Okay, but make it fast! : Engineering to Bridge! Picard: This is the Bridge. Go ahead.. : Sir, Chief Engineer No. 3,814 here, sir. We've figured out a way to get back, sir! Picard: Excellent! To whom do we owe our gratitude? : He's on his way to the Bridge now, sir.. (At this point, the turbolift doors open. Wesley steps out.) LaForge (to himself): Oh, no! Not again! Picard: Ensign Crusher! I thought you were in Engineering? Wes: I was, sir. But seeing as how I finished the modifications to the warp engines necessary to return the ship to our time-- Picard: You did what?? Riker: It's my fault, sir. He's my responsibility; I should have kept a closer eye on him! (Advances towards Wes) Picard: One moment, Will! First, I want to find out what he did to my ship! Report, Wesley! Wes: Well, sir, all I had to do was modify the power output of the warp engines. But in order to do this, I had to borrow some extra power. The only other source was the other Enterprise. Kirk: You mean you're responsible for what crippled my ship?? You nearly killed almost 430 men and women!! Wes: Sir, I knew what I was doing. I called up the records on your ship, though it was a little confusing as to just which ship you're using at the moment. I found out the critical threshold of energy depletion for your ship, and from there I just borrowed the rest. You can always generate more.. Kirk: You just don't go and "borrow" energy from a starship!! Spock: Not true, Captain, since apparently he has done it. Picard: Captain, please!! (to Wes, sweetly) Wesley, do you mean to say we can return home now? Wes: Yes, sir. Picard: Good. Then shut up!! (once again, the turbolift doors open. McCoy, Crusher, and Troi step onto the Bridge) McCoy: Jim, I'm beginning to believe I can cure anything! Kirk: Report, Bones! McCoy: Well, the whole problem started with an incorrect diagnosis! It wasn't a virus at all!! Kirk: Yes, I believe you said something about that earlier.. McCoy: You see, Jim, if it was a virus, it would have spread! But instead, only Troi got sick! It was only after I found out that she's a hyper- sensitive that I realized what caused the illness! Kirk: Well?... What caused it? McCoy: Think about it! Troi didn't get sick until we arrived. We caused her illness! Picard: But you said it wasn't a virus! McCoy: And it's not! It's the writing, the scripts!... The Writers!!! Kirk: Yes, yes- they control everything, but even they haven't given a good reason for only Troi becoming sick.. McCoy: They don't have to! Crusher: Captain, it's like back in the 21st Century-- Picard: Those were savage times! Crusher: --when half the population was starving. Even when they finally got food, they couldn't eat it too quickly without getting sick! Kirk: I still don't understand how that explains the illness. Spock: Most interesting! You are saying that the appearance of your vessel in our time is causing your illness because you are used to bad writing. Our beaming over only aggravated the problem further... McCoy: And that's why Troi collapsed! Being so perceptive, so sensitive, it was just too much for her to take!! Kirk: She seems to be fine now.. McCoy: That's because she left the Bridge and went to Sickbay- the place where one of the most incompetent, shallow and unbelievable characters on this ship works. She'll be all right once we leave, but prolonged exposure to good writing could kill her! (Thousands of viewers can be heard screaming, "Stay for a while! Stay on the ship!!") Picard: And once you return to your ship, we can return to our proper time... Kirk: That's it? As simple as that? Picard: I'm afraid so, Captain. The new writers are used to rushing the ending.. (Beep! Beep!) Kirk (answers communicator): Kirk here! : Scott here; we're beaming ye back! Kirk: But I gave no such order! : Sorry, sir! But we're under time constraints, and I canna take enna more of this episode! Kirk: Scotty! You've got to give me a few minutes. Just a few, and I need them now!! : Sorry, sir. I'm under orders! (Kirk, Spock and McCoy dematerialize) Picard: Well, I'm glad *they're* gone, eh No.1? Riker: Yes, sir! I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever get back to our rushed dialogue and plot... Picard: Agreed! Mr. LaForge? Lay in a course back to our own time! Warp factor six! LaForge: Aye, aye, sir. Course plotted... and laid in, sir. Picard: Engage! (The Enterprise revs up, stretches, pops like a rubber band, and disappears in a very realistic flash of light.) (INSERT COMMERCIAL HERE) Captain's Log, Stardate 3715.0 The ship from our future has been gone for almost one hour. Gone with it is any trace of the naked singularity we had been investigating. As is usual for the end of a crisis, I have called Dr.McCoy to the Bridge to engage in idle speculation, pointless banter, and maybe even a brief moral... Kirk: I still don't understand it, Bones. It all just happened so quickly. McCoy: Jim, I keep telling you- it's not your fault! The writers of that century are just-.... well, they're just bad! They even forgot to leave in the singularity for the last scene! Spock (turning at his station): I disagree, Doctor. It was most logical for the singularity to disappear when the future Enterprise vanished. McCoy: Oh, no! I should have known it! The writers have gotten to Spock! Spock (ignoring McCoy): You see, Jim, the singularity was essentially a "rip" in the fabric of the universe. Some tremendous strain, existing both in their time and ours, was too great for the normal space-time continuum to bear. Kirk: So what was it, Spock? What caused the strain in the first place? Spock: I believe Doctor McCoy is best qualified to explain that, sir. Vulcans do not engage in television criticism... Kirk: Bones? McCoy: It was us, Jim! Kirk: Come on, Bones! We've never travelled to the future!! McCoy: True; not personally. But consider all those plots that have been lifted from our series and used in theirs! Kirk: Ahhhhh!.... So the removing of not just one, but many, many events in our present to their future caused the strain which "ripped" the universe? Spock: Quite correct, Captain. Perhaps if they had used only a few, the strain would have had no effect, but as they used so many... Kirk: Well, I still don't understand why the singularity disappeared. Aren't we still in our present? Aren't they back in the future? Wouldn't the strain still be there?? Spock: Unknown, Captain. Perhaps our appearance in some way motivated their writers to be more original. Kirk: Well, in any case, it's like I've always said... (entire Bridge crew grimaces in anticipation) McCoy: Yes, Jim? Kirk: Even though this show is a timeless classic, it will never be duplicated in another time period. (the whole Bridge starts giggling and laughing) Kirk: Ha, ha! Sulu: Ho, ho! Checkov: Wery funny! Spock: (<-- Vulcan laughter) Kirk (Holding side): Mr Sulu? Plot a course for rendezvous with the Yorktown; We have some vaccines to deliver. Maximum warp! Sulu: Aye, aye, sir!

Chang Last update: 01-10/92 Part 1/4 : TLREADME.DOC WHY ANOTHER TIMELINE? I was not satisfied with the timelines that already existed, so I created my own. Of all of the existing timelines, the Stone/Finkas one is the best, but it references ONLY the screened evidence, leaving people who want a larger picture in the dark. For example, there was no mention of when the Federation is formed in Star Trek, nor any mention of any dates for the first Klingo-Federation War nor the first Romulan War. Therefore none of these "important" events were present in the Stone/Finkas timeline. I fully understand that there are people who consider only the screened evidence "canon". However, they should also realize the limitations of that definition. I decided to explore the bigger picture, presenting all evidence, but weighted screened evidence heavier than the other evidences available. All are documented, so you can ignore the unscreened evidence at your leisure. FORMAT OF TIMELINE I have decided to incorporate BOTH Stardate and OED (Old Earth Date) year references into the timeline. If a Stardate is given, it is noted, with an estimated OED year given, unless there are many such entries for a given year. All events are sorted by approximate year, then Stardate, unless Stardate order is not correct. I have attempted to incorporate all screened Star Trek sources available, including The Original Series (TOS), The Animated Series (TAS), The Movies, (ST:TMP, ST2-6), and The Next Generation (TNG). Occasionally you will find references to some after-market books such as the TNG Tech Manual. Those will be clearly labeled as such so you can ignore them as you wish. Also, in the TNG section, the TNG Comics are included for completeness' sake. I have access to a TNG Stardate chart from DC comics, and I incorporated that into this timeline. Also, the titles of the TNG novels are incorporated in the TNG section as well. You may also see once in a while a reference to a TOS novel or two. When events conflict in timing, emphasis is placed in the following order: TOS, TNG, Movies, TAS, TNG Tech Manual. The source in front is assumed to be "more canonical" than those in the back. ORGANIZATION There are four files in this release: 1/4 TLREADME DOC This file you are reading now 2/4 TLINE1 DOC The timeline itself, including endnotes 3/4 TLINEAPX DOC Appendix, abbreviations and bibliography 4/4 TLINEEXP DOC Explanations, on how I arrived at the results DISCLAIMER Placement of all events within the Star Trek time frame is solely my own interpretation and should NOT be viewed as "official" information. However, they are based on the best evidence available. I have no involvement with Paramount Studios or the TNG office, nor do I have special access to information not available to the public. All sources are documented as shown. Bibliography is in the appendix. I do not claim to have included every event documented in the Star Trek universe. If I did, this would be an encyclopedia. After all, would you be interested in reading entries like "Year XXX, YYY married ZZZ"?

Stardate Year Event --------+-----+----------------------------------------------------------- c1000000000 BC The Slaver Empire fell in a massive intergalactic war that destroyed all intelligent life in the galaxy. (TAS: The Slaver Weapon) 1741647 BC Final survivors of "The Makers" from Andromeda Galaxy died, leaving an outpost filled with android population in our galaxy. Harry Mudd came upon their world in 2265 and they declared him Mudd the First. (TOS: I, Mudd) c600000 BC The Tkon Empire, a large and technologically advanced civilization, was destroyed when the Tkon's home star went nova. All that survived are several outposts. (TNG: The Last Outpost) c500000 BC A great war broke out between among the possible pregenators of all humanoid species in this galaxy. Survivors from both sides: Sargon, Thalassa, and Henoch, preserved their minds in receptables on planet Arret, which contained no atmosphere as a result of the war. (TOS: Return to Tomorrow) c300000 BC The Borg, possible descendents/survivors of the war of c500000BC, developed their uni-mind structure and cybernetic implant technology. In their effort to perfect themselves, they started absorbing other civilizations. (TNG: Q Who?) c30000 BC American Indians are transplanted to another world by a mysterious race known only as "The Preservers". (TOS: The Paradise Syndrome) c10000 BC "The Preservers", possible progenators of life in this galaxy, encountered the Borg. The resulting war devasted large parts of the galaxy. The Preservers, attempting to turn the tide, developed "The Doomsday Machine", on the other side of the galaxy, beyond "The Great Energy Barrier". A prototype capable of warp 4 was released on a trial basis. The Preservers within the galaxy were wiped out (?) by the Borg. Too weak to go on, the surviving Preservers withered away to be no more than spirits, that haunted the now finished "Doomsday Machine" Mark II.

But it does sound possible, doesn't it? 3 Second season episode "Metamorphosis", Y2265, had McCoy stating that Zefram Cochrane was dead for 150 years. Mr.Cochrane himself said he was 87 at the time. Therefore we have 2265-150-87=2029. If the new United Nation would launch the manned expedition to Alpha Centauri around 2048, Mr.Cochrane is a bit too young to have invented the warp drive if he was born in 2029. He would have been 19 years old! Clearly, one of the sources must be wrong. In this case, I chose to take McCoy's words literally and move down the launch date, despite the years given in the STARFLIGHT CHRONOLOGIES. 4 I placed World War III before the Mind Control Revolts because it sounds more plausible. It is far more likely that WW3 is fought with professional soldiers under mind control. Then, when the war is over, the military rebelled. So perhaps this series of events happened: World War III started United Nations abolished Colonel Green started his genocidal campaign Nuclear weapons used in limited areas World War III ended The area where nuclear weapons hit reverted to barbarism, curious mix of technology and medievalism. These years became know as the Post-Atomic Horrors for certain parts of the world. The military, under mind control for the WW3, rebelled against their government, thus started the bloody Mind Control Revolts. Mind Control Revolts ended United Nations re-established, launched space program to promote global cooperation (and to distract the public from the past) This is not placed within the timeline because too much of my own conjecture is included. 5 See one of the footnotes at the bottom of the page, as Kirk received his "senceiver" alert, in ST:TMP Novelization. 6 The date given for Zefram Cochrane to invent the warp drive is actually 2048, as given in the novel and in STARFLIGHT CHRONOLOGY. However, as explained above in footnote (3), such date is not possible. Due to the heavier weight given to the screened evidence, all year references given in "Strangers from the Sky" are pushed down for at least 10 years. Furthermore, TNG Tech Manual gave the year of 2061 for the first prototype of the CDP engine. (See page 54, TNG Tech Manual) 7 According to THE WORLDS OF THE FEDERATION, the four lightyears trip took six years under high impulse, with time dilation I suppose. 8 The only "reasonable" way for the VALIANT to be at the edge of the galaxy with only "impulse rockets" is through a wormhole of some sort. 9 The BONAVENTURE-class interstellar scout ENTERPRISE was a tribute to the animated episode TAS:Time Trap, in which the BONAVENTURE herself was seen, along with various other old ships. 10 The DECLARATION-class cruise liner ENTERPRISE was mentioned in several previous Star Trek chronologies. 11 Ms. Grayson is 52 in the episode, Sarek was 101. 12 See page 128, TNG Tech Manual. 13 This would also fit the info given in ST6:TUC, as Spock had said during the briefing, it has been 70 years of conflict. 14 If you would recall, in 2364, TNG: Encounter at Farpoint, Data clearly stated that McCoy (okay, he never named him, but who else could it be?) as "one hundred and thirty-seven years old". 2364-137=2227 15 This birthdate is given by Paramount as "official" info. However, the name of his parents are NOT official. The name of the father was George, which I believe came from TOS:"Operation: Annihilate!". The name of the mother came from the novel TOSN:"ENTERPRISE: First Adventure", and was also used (by a different author) in TOSN:"Time for Yesterday" 16 Sulu said he was born in San Francisco in ST4:TVH. He grew up at Ganjitsu, according to Vonda McIntyre in novels "ENTERPRISE:The First Adventure" and "The Entropy Effect. The first name of "Hikaru" was introduced by Vonda McIntyre in "The Entropy Effect", and is formalized into trek fandom by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, by Sulu's introduction in his Captain's Log. 17 Uhura's first name was never formalized, and for decades the fandom argued back and forth. Some say "Penda", others say "Nyota". "Nyota", which means "star" in Swahili, was used in several novels, including the novel "Uhura's Song" by Janet Kagan. 18 While there were no evidence that Captain April ever undertook a five year mission on the ENTERPRISE, this is a logical conclusion, both as part of ship's chronology, but also a tribute to the animated episode. It was also implied in the TNG Tech Manual. 19 I am not too sure where did McCoy's wife's name came from. I believe I first saw it in the Bantam novel "Day of Judgement", and also later in Pocket's "Dreams of the Ravens". On the other hand, Joanna's name was fixed in the early writer's guides. She was to appear in the episode "The Way to Eden", which was originally named "Joanna". However, a rewrite last minute changed it to the present form. She also appeared in the novel "Crisis on Centaurus". 20 As revealed in TNG:A Matter of Time, the phasers do not exist in the twenty-second (22nd) century. It was invented in early 23rd century. 21 According to "The Making of Star Trek", Gene had planned for the CONSITUTION-class vessels to have an 18-year range. Since ENTERPRISE was launched in 2245, 2268-2245=23, > 18. 22 See TNG Tech Manual, page 128. 23 TNG Manual called the refitted ENTERPRISE CONSTITUTION-class. FASA started the ENTERPRISE-class, and the dedication plaque as given in SCOTT'S GUIDE says STARSHIP-class. I vote for CONSTITUTION II-class as a compromise of sorts. 24 This is seen in many novels, including TOSN: Spock's World, TOSN:Deep Domain, and so on, where Kirk is both an Admiral and Acting Captain. 25 This makes you wonder if the Vulcans did indeed seceeded from the Federation in TNG's time, therefore so few Vulcans are visible in StarFleet. Of course, this is just a possibility. 26 While we have no evidence of Spock leading a five-year mission, this would only be logical for the numbers to work out right. Otherwise we will leave a big five-year gap in the middle with nothing. 27 Gene Roddenberry had stated MANY MANY times that he does not like the idea of Tranwarp, therefore it is a failure. 28 A fun fact to observe... The motto of the EXCELSIOR is "No matter where you go, there you are." (from Buckaroo Banzai) 29 In the Novelization, McCoy was spoiling his two grandchildren (one of them two years old), when he was called to the briefing in StarFleet HQ. 30 As Kirk stated in the novelization that the adventure occurred ten years after ST4, ST6 happened approximately in 2296. Also, if Kirk started on a ten-year mission in 2286, it would approximately end in 2296. 31 Picard was fifty-five (55) in the novelization. 32 Here are my reasons for the conjecture: Page 118, UNIFICATION novelization SPOCK : A personal decision, Captain. Perhaps you are aware that I played a small role in the first overture to peace with the Klingons. PICARD: History is aware of the role you played, Ambassador. SPOCK : Not entirely. It was I who asked Kirk to lead the peace mission. And I who had to accept the responsibility for the consequences to him and his crew. Quite simply, I am unwilling to risk anyone's life but my own on this occasion. I would ask you to respect my wishes and leave. Page 119, UNIFICATION novelization SPOCK (to PICARD): In your own way, are are as stubborn as another captain of the ENTERPRISE I once knew. It is my opinion that these quotes implied that Kirk is no longer alive during the 24th century, based mostly on the second quote on page 118. Let me explain my reasoning: The second Spock quote implies that the ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-A was lost with Kirk and crew onboard, but not Spock and McCoy. Spock was distraught over asking Kirk to lead the peace mission, and from there on he became an ambassador himself so he does not have to put others at risk for his decisions. I do not see any other suitable explanations for this quote. Of course, you can say that was a reference to ST6:TUC, and Paramount threw that in to confuse us. However, since there will be a war at approximately 2315 with the Klingons, same thing could happen twice. Perhaps the quote was INTENDED to be that way, but I chose to interpret it as something else, a purely personal observation. The third Spock quote probably means Kirk. Others have argued that it could mean Pike, or even April. However those possibilities are slim at best, since Spock knew Kirk best, and the word "stubborn" seems to fit Kirk better than either Pike or April. I believe the war, just before which NCC-1701-A and Kirk was destroyed, happened sometime between 2310 and 2320, due to several reasons. 1) Riker stated in TNG:The Emissary that Federation and Klingon Empire were at war fifty years ago. The Emmisary is a second season episode, therefore it happened in 2365. Fifty years ago is about 2315. 2) In TOSN: The Rift by Peter David, it was stated at the end that the next time the rift opened, the Federation is in the midst of the Klingon-Romulan war. Kirk was on the NCC-1701-A in this novel due to the mention of Transwarp and the death of his son, David Marcus. Since ST5 happened in 2286, and the rift opens every 33.34 years, the next opening is after 2319. Therefore the Klingo-Federation War must happen sometime in between 2315 and 2319, perhaps a bit earlier than 2315. I fully understand that this theory might be invalidated by the next movie. We shall see. 33 TNG: The Neutral Zone stated it has been 50 years since anyone sighted a Romulan or any Romulan ship. 34 This date is just a guess on my part, based on the estimated destruction date of the NCC-1701-A. 35 According to ST:TNG First Year Sourcebook (FASA), she's 41, which would be about right, despite the "un"-officialness. 36 Admiral Kennily said it has been 40 years ago in the episode. 37 Riker was 32 in the novelization. The middle initial came from a convention. Thelonius was a great jazz player of 20th Century. 38 According to FASA's "TNG Officer's Manual", NCC-1701-B was destroyed by renegade Klingons and Romulans (in two battleships). However, the stuff in that book are extremely unreliable, therefore I put it here instead of in the timeline itself. 39 There were quite a bit of argument on whether this was Spock or not. However, evidence suggests that it was Spock. Sybok was gone, and there were no evidence of any other children by Sarek, by Amanda or Perrin. 40 It was stated in crew biographies that Picard took command in his thirties. Assuming he's about as good as Kirk, it should be around this time that he gets command of STARGAZER. 41 "Kronos" appeared in ST6:TUC. Also see 42. 42 We still haven't made up our mind as to what does the Klingons call their homeworld... Early fan fiction suggests "Kazh". John M. Ford's "The Final Reflection" said "Klinzhai". "The Worlds of the Federation" said "Kling", and now ST6:TUC said "Kronos". However, it appears "Kronos" gets the seal of approval. 43 Wesley is approximately 16 during the first season, and was officially pronounced 18 in TNG:"Evolution". 44 In the novelization of ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT, Picard said it was fifteen years ago that he had last seen Beverly Crusher, when he returned her husband's body. In case you are interested, there are two versions of Jack Crusher's death. One of them is in the novelization of "Encounter at Farpoint", the other in TNGN:Reunion. 45 See page 57, TNG Tech Manual. 46 Since GALAXY came out 2357, and ENTERPRISE came out 2363, YAMATO should be in between, and 2360 is right in the middle. 47 Stardate according to Page 12, TNG Tech Manual. 48 I am quite aware that there was a controversy out there that O'Brian might be an enlisted person, therefore a chief petty officer. Unfortunately I don't buy that theory. However, it was important enough that I hereby inform you of this controversy and my decision. 49 At one ship every three years, this sounds about right, as GALAXY in 2357, YAMATO in 2360, and ENTERPRISE in 2363. 50 The numbers came from TNG: Drumhead, during the prosecution (?) of Captain Jean-Luc Picard by Admiral (retired) Saati. 51 Gee, can you imagine Worf as the first humanoid you see ever? 52 Originally the stardate listed was 45233.1, but that means the comic books are out of sequence. Also, UNIFICATION didn't take THAT long, I think, so I changed the 33 to 43. I could be wrong, of course. S T A R T R E K T I M E L I N E by Kasey K.S.

Chang Last Update: 01-10/92 Part 4/4 : TLINEEXP.DOC FULL EXPLANATIONS (Note: all calculations are not perfect, due to the vagrancies of the human speech. All "circa" year references should have +/- 3 years margin of error.) NAILING DOWN THE MAIN PIECES There are two pieces of main evidence which helps date Star Trek firmly. They are Data's quote and Sarek's ages. Data have stated in the episode TNG:"The Neutral Zone", that the "Old Earth Year" is 2364. That was a first season episode. TNG Tech Manual have also stated that NCC-1701-D was launched in late 2363, therefore TNG started in 2364. Sarek was 202 as stated by Picard in the episode TNG:"Sarek". That was a fourth-season episode, therefore it happened in 2367. Sarek was then born in 2165. In TOS:"Journey to Babel", Sarek was 102. Since that was a second season episode, that put TOS starting at 2165 + 102 - 2 = 2265, and the episode in 2266. Also, McCoy's age can be used to solve part of the puzzle. McCoy is in his forties in TOS (if someone knows the exact number and episode, please let me know), and is 137 when he visited the NCC-1701-D in the series premiere. Since ST:TNG started in 2364, McCoy was then born in 2227. Adding 40 to 2227 equals 2267, which is about right. These should nail down all of the TV episodes. The Animated Series is assumed to have immediately followed the unfinished The Original Series, to complete the five year mission. ST:TMP was judged to have occured in 2271, since the novel that preceded it, "A Flag Full of Stars" by Brad Ferguson, occurred in 2269, the tricentennial of Apollo landing on Luna. One and a half years have been added since ENTERPRISE was not completed yet. Also, it has been 2.8 years since Spock have went off to study Kholinar, and that could only happen after the FYM finished. The FYM finished in 2267/2268, plus 3 = 2270/2271. ST3:TSFS was placed in 2285 by the TNG Technical manual, as the entry clearly stated that NCC-1701 was lost defending the Mutara Sector against a Klingon incursion in this year. ST4:TVH and ST2:TWOK, for this reason, belongs in this year as well, since not much physical time elapsed among the three films, except perhaps a month or two. ST4 happened approximately 3 months after ST3, according to Kirk's remarks in the novelization. ST5:TFF is in 2286 since the crew get a new year to break in the new ship (esp. Scotty), or "proper shakedown". It could go in 2285 if needed. ST6:TUC is placed in approximately 2295 based on the evidence in the novelization: Kirk said it was ten years plus one since death of David (ST3). The placement is NOT official, but should be about right. NOW THE HOLES After establishing the basis of the timeline, we start filling in the pieces. There are many holes to fill in: Before history (before AD ) Pre-Federation (before 2087 approx) Early Federation (before 2200 approx) Before Star Trek (before 2264, like Pike, April, etc) Lost Years 1 (2268-2271, between FYM and ST:TMP) Lost Years 2 (2271-2284, between ST:TMP and ST2:TWOK) Lost Years 3 (2286-2296, between ST5:TFF and ST6:TUC) Between eras (2296-2364, between ST6:TUC and TNG) Let's deal with them one by one: BEFORE HISTORY This area was not really mentioned by Star Trek other than offhand references to "history" of exotic locations. Often they are results of war and devastation. These wars include: Slaver Empire (TAS), Arret (TOS), Preservers (TOS/TNG), Borg (TNG), Tkon Empire (TNG), The Makers (TOS), and much more. They are referenced with the dates and years given in the episodes. The connection between the Borg and the Preservers was suggested by Peter David in his "giant" TNG Novel "Vendetta" (a great book, you should read it). The Preservers constructed the Doomsday Machine (TOS) in order to combat the Borg. By the tone of the descriptions, that happened about 10,000 BC. Plese read the book and find out. The origin of the Romulans would be another puzzle, which was solved by the information given in Diane Duane's novel "The Romulan Way", which is essentially Romulan History written in the same style as "Spock's World". So please refer to "The Romulan Way" for any questions about Romulan History in this timeline. PRE-FEDERATION To do this part, I did two things: researched on the ships named ENTERPRISE, and read the Stones/Finkas timeline on pre-Federation days. Three things need to be resolved for our "future history" before putting them in the timeline: 1) Was there a World War III? If so how come there is still Star Trek? 2) If so, when/what is the war that was mentioned in TOS:"Space Seed"? That "Eugenics War"? 3) What is that "Mind Control Revolt" Gene wrote about in the ST:TMP novelization? Clearly, all entries since American Revolutionary War up to (not including) Y1992 is historical research. Strangely, Question 2 is answered first. According to the Stones/Finkas Chronology, "Eugenics War" is believed to have happened 1992- 1996, and seems to be a limited revolt, not global warfare. Eugenics War is supposed to have been started by some geneticists who created "superhumans" like Khan, and planned to take over the world. They lost, and was forced to exile into space. Which still leaves WW3 unaccounted for. After a little thinking, I decided to put WW3 in 2039-2043, to go just before the "Mind Control Revolts" in 2043-2047, since we can then say that the Mind Control Revolts are an after-effect of WW3. We gathered in TNG:"Encounter at Farpoint" that in the early 21st century military forces were controlled with mind control and drugs. We could say that those are the roots of the "Mind Control Revolt". The novel "Strangers from the Sky" provided quite a few details about life in the Early 21st century, presumably after the war. The exploratory expeditions toward nearby stars were already launched. As the novel was based on the "Star Trek Concordance", the dates are slightly off when compared with "newer" evidences. They were moved slightly. The "history" then goes up smoothly up to the formation of the Federation, with all of its founding members contacted peacefully by the Terrans. EARLY FEDERATION The main event that happened in Early Federation, from 2100 to 2200, is the First Romulan War (at least that's what the Feds call it). It was covered somewhat in the novel "The Romulan Way". Other than that, only birthdates filled this era, as no info is available from any where. This would be an interesting period to cover by fan fiction, in my opinion. BEFORE STAR TREK The missions of Captain April and Captain Pike were not recorded except in small pieces. In this category goes these sources: TOS:"The Cage", TOSN:"Final Frontier", TOSN:"Legacy", TOSN:"The Rift". Most of the dates hinted at or mentioned in the novels are included. Other important events in this period include The First Klingo- Federation War (sometimes known as The Four Years War), Invention of the Transporter, Discovery of Dilithium and its enhancement to warp travel, and invention of the first type of photon torpedo. LOST YEARS 1 The only "official" Lost Years, this period is considered to be the period after Kirk's five year mission and before ST:TMP. This period is covered by two novels: TOSN:"The Lost Years", and TOSN:"A Flag Full of Stars". The second novel, with the tricentennial of the Apollo Landing, is placed in 2269, which means ST:TMP occured in 2271. That in turn means the five year mission ended in 2268. As Gene had expressed reticense toward any stories in this era, it is doubtful that more stories during this time will be told. LOST YEARS 2 The period between ST:TMP and ST2:TWOK is quite long, over 13 years in fact. (Which makes Khan's "fifteen years" a little understated, but perhaps Alpha Ceti V have a longer year?) It can probably be assumed that Kirk, after ST:TMP, was made "acting captain", which was the position of many novels set after ST:TMP, including most of the Diane Duane's Trek novels. He probably went on a second five year mission in the new ENTERPRISE (giving credence to the never filmed "Star Trek II" series, which in reality became ST:TMP), and after that, forced to take a desk job more permanently this time, as commandant of Star Fleet. After that, the ship probably spent a year in the docks for refits, and Spock took over as Captain, with blessing from Kirk. In order to take care of all of the years, Spock probably went on a five year mission of his own, then the ship was "retired" from front-line to be the Academy training ship and home reserve. Remember, all these are merely conjectures, based on best evidence available. They are NOT official. LOST YEARS 3 Many of us wondered what had happened between ST5:TFF and ST6:TUC. There were little information available for a period of approximately 10 years. The only "notable" and "solid" information is Sulu's gaining command of the EXCELSIOR. Additional details came from the novelization. This may be a bit of an awkward time to write about since ENTERPRISE have three captains onboard: Kirk, Spock, and Sulu (until he got EXCELSIOR). BETWEEN ERAS After ST6:TUC, we move into the unknown (or the little known). Most of the TNG characters are just being born in the next ten to thirty years. However, the character biographies and the "historical" references in ST:TNG have included many details that helped fill in this period of over half of a century. Included in this period are voyages of STARGAZER, the Third Klingo- Federation War, The Cardassian War, voyages of the NCC-1701-B, voyages of the NCC-1701-C, and various other events. Of these events, only the voyages of the NCC-1701-C were "official", but only the date of its loss is certain. Others are mainly my conjectures. I believe there is a Third Klingo-Federation War (the second was stopped in the middle by Organian), since Riker had said so in TNG:The Emmissary. With that idea, I invented the final demise of Kirk and the NCC-1701-A to fit in here. If you don't like it, feel free to scream at me. However, I think the explanation are quite logical. I believe that not long after the end of the Third Klingo-Federation War, the Cardassian War started. It was mentioned a couple times in TNG, especially in UNIFICATION I, in which Perrin mentioned that Spock had attacked Sarek's position on it. The dates are moved slightly to fit in the info from TNG:Ensign Ro about the Bajorans. It can be inferred that the Bajoran system was annexed by the Cardassians right after the Cardassian War, since the Federation could not intervene after the treaty is signed. Cardassians probably did that for covering their blunder in the war, sort of scapegoat/substitute. There is almost no info on the NCC-1701-B other than what was written in the TNG Tech Manual. However, there is a rumor that Paramount is plan- ning a prequel to TNG, which may cover the adventures of the NCC-1701-B. All we know about the NCC-1701-C is from the episode TNG:Yesterday's ENTERPRISE. TNG Tech Manual did not elaborate at all. FUTURE OF STAR TREK For all the Trekkies and Trekkers, there is still plenty to write about in all areas. What was it like in the pre-warp days? Early-warp days? What aspects of the Federation have we not covered yet? This timeline hopefully can give you enough specific references to write your own stories and lend it some "authenticity". Add imagination and persistence, and you have a Trek writer in training! Good luck! Live long and prosper! Kasey K.S.
