Part 1    READ THIS FIRST


ABOUT STAR TREK ULTIMATE REFERENCE
     Well...  This is just a personal pet project that I have.  I've been
doing it for a couple years now, and the parts that I've done starts to add
up.  This is supposed to be the backbone of the whole project, where
everything talked about in the rest of it will have some sort of
perspective.  Right now, the following parts are planned, though I am
mainly a Treknologist (a.k.a. Treknician) and Trek historian and I don't
keep track of who guest starred on which episode and that sort of things.
Therefore there are parts that should be in this project yet I have no
intention of doing.  If you have a project in that area, drop me a line.

Part A    Master Timeline (done)
Part B    Crew biographies : TOS
Part C    Crew biographies : TNG
Part D    Ranks of Starfleet (done)
Part E    History of Warp Drive (done)
Part F    Ships of Star Trek (done)
Part G    Offensive and Defensive Systems of Star Trek
Part H    Other equipment of Star Trek
Part I    Locations of Star Trek (found other works in progress)
Part J    Alien race profiles
Part K    Non-crew character profiles
Part ?    What else you can think of?


WHY ANOTHER TIMELINE?
     To put it simply, I am not satisfied with what I have read so far.
     Of all of the existing timelines (not counting this one of course),
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
(well, now there is: 2161), nor any mention of any dates for the first
Klingo-Federation War, nor of the first Romulan War.
     I fully understand that there are people who consider only the
screened evidence "canon", and I understand their decision.  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.
     This timeline started from two separate projects.  I had two separate
timelines, one for TNG, and one for ENTERPRISE.  Then I saw the
Stone/Finkas timeline and decided to combine them all into this, plus my
other references.  As I found more information, I added them all.
     This timeline was not designed to be the timeline to end all
timelines, so undoubtably there are timelines which are more comprehensive
than mine.  (Bill Lambdin told me there's a timeline outthere that is 1
megabyte long...  Ten times longer than this one.)  As for authenticity...
Only the one being written by Rick Sternbach and/or Mike Okuda will be more
official than this one.


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 clearly incorrect.
     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) (as many
episodes as I can). Occasionally you will find references to some after-
market books such as the TNG Tech Manual.  TNG Companion by Larry Nemecek
is included as official "behind-the-scenes" information.  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.
úÿ
     When events conflict in timing, emphasis is placed in the following
order: TOS/TNG/Movies, TAS, TNG Companion, TNG Tech Manual, everything
else.  The source in front is assumed to be "more canonical" than those in
the back, and thus overrules "less canonical" sources if there is a
conflict.

PART 2 : TIMELINE

Note: All "circa" year references should have +/- 3 years margin of error.

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 Arretians appears to have colonized the Milky Way at this
                 point (TOS:"Return to Tomorrow")
               Age of Makto.  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,
                 including one at the Delphi Ardu system.
                 (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?")
     c50000 BC Bele begins his hunt for Lokai about this point.
                 (TOS:"Let This Be Your Last Battlefield")
     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
                 (TOS scale) 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.
               (TNGN:"Vendetta")
      c7500 BC Star Fabrina shows unstability.  The inhabitants of the
                 planet built a generation ship/dyson sphere called Yonada
                 to carry its descendents to a new world.
                 (TOS:"For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")

                 foot soldier (TOS:"Requiem For Methuselah")
      c3700 BC Spock and McCoy was trapped on the planet Sarpeidon at about
                 this time by the "atavachron" (TOS:"All Our Yesterdays")
      c3500 BC Landru, a great scientist on Beta III, died, but left his
                 memories in a computer, which assumed control of all
                 society's functions. (TOS:"Return of the Archons")
      c2700 BC Humanoids from Pollux IV arrived on Earth.  Terrans regarded
                 them as gods, and the classical literatures of that time
                 eventually referred to them as the Olympian Gods of Greek
                 and Roman mythology.  (TOS:"Who Mourns For Adonis?")
        c67 BC Birth of Surak, of Vulcan, "father of all we became",
                 founder of the "logic" movement on Vulcan
                 (TOSN:"The Romulan Way")
         22 BC Vulcan delegation met the Ethoshans at Shi'Khar, Vulcan in
                 friendship.  The Ethoshans turned out to be shock troops,
                 capturing or killing all of the delegates.  The survivors
                 are held for outrageous amounts of ransom.
               Vulcan declared "The War" on the pirates
               S'Task, pupil of Surak, one of the captured delegates,
                 engineered escape, and crashed the slave ship into the
                 Ethoshan mothership, killing thousands of pirates in the
                 process, and the invasion has been halted
               S'Task's disagreement with his teacher split Vulcan society,
                 resulting in riots and small wars
               (TOSN: "The Romulan Way")
           c65 Vulcan Colonization group, lead by S'Task, left Vulcan in
                 search for a new, pure beginning.  The ships include

          c125 The Vulcan Colonization group (c65) came upon the Trianguli
                 cluster and 128 Trianguli system.  Only four of the
                 original seventeen ships survived the journey.  They will
                 be the ancestors of who are known later as the "Romulans".
                 (TOSN:"The Romulan Way")
          c350 Kaelonians adopted "The Resolution" as part of their
                 tradition.  All members of society must commit ritual
                 suicide by the age of 60.  (TNG:"Half a Life")
          c865 Civil War breaks out on Solais V, which would rage for the
                 next fifteen centuries.  Only in 2365 did the factions

         c1200 War destroyed planet Zetar, leaving several inhabitants to
                 wander the galaxy as mental forces of light, search for

                 struck a deal with the natvies of Bentax II so they will
                 gain 1000 years of peace and prosperity in exchange for
                 their souls and eternal slavery at the end of the period.
                 (TNG:"Devil's Due")
         c1368 Kataan sun went nova.  All that reamined were a probe, which

Part 4 : EXPLANATIONS

FULL EXPLANATIONS
     (Note: all calculations are not perfect, due to the vagrancies of the
human speech.  All "circa" year references should have +/- 2 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:TM have also
stated that NCC-1701-D was launched in late 2363, therefore TNG started in
early 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 2164.
     In TOS:"Journey to Babel", Sarek was approx. 102.  (A stickler will
tell you 102.607)  Since that was a second season episode, that put TOS
starting at 2164 + 102 - 2 = 2264, and the episode in 2265/66.
     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 (TNG:EaF).  Since ST:TNG started in 2364, McCoy was then
born in 2227, which makes McCoy 40 in the second season of TOS, close
enough.  (I think someone said McCoy's 43 in 2nd season?)
     These should nail down all of the televised 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 occurred in 2271, since the novel that
preceded it, "A Flag Full of Stars" (AFFoS) 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.  Interestingly, The introduction in the ST6:TUC ENTERPRISE model
kit (AMT/ERTL) puts ST:TMP in 2276, contradicting TOSN:AFFoS.
     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 2294/95 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.  The
evidences available are contradictory.  Variance here is +/- 4 years.
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 2161)
          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".  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?  (Or: How come we are still here?)
     2) If so, when/what is the war that was mentioned in TOS:"Space Seed"?
That "Eugenics War"?  Is it same as World War III?
     3) What is that "Mind Control Revolt" Gene wrote about in the ST:TMP
novelization?
     4) When is "The First Romulan War"?
     All entries since American Revolutionary War up to Y1992 is historical
research.
     According to the Stones/Finkas Chronology, "Eugenics War" occured
between 1992-1996, and appeared to be a limited revolt instead of global
warfare.  Some geneticists created "superhumans" like Khan, and planned to
take over the world.  They lost, and was forced to exile into space.
     WW3 is still unaccounted for.
     I decided to put WW3 in 2039-2043, to go just before the "Mind Control
Revolts" in 2043-2047. Perhaps Mind Control Revolts are an after-effect of
WW3.  In TNG:"Encounter at Farpoint", early 21st century military forces
were controlled with mind control and drugs.  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.  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 accordingly.
     The dates were moved again, when the TNGComp revealed that the "new
United Nations", or United Earth, is dissolved in 2079.  That means for
more than a few decades Earth is in constant turmoil while having
interstellar capabilities...  Dangerous time to be in.  Any way, I moved
down the first contact dates even further down to after 2090.  They should
probably be somewhere in the 2130's...  We probably met the Vulcans a bit
earlier, as not to totally mess up the novel "Strangers from the Sky".
     One more thing.  As TNGComp also revealed, the first Romulan War is
NOT fought by the Federation, but rather by Earth.  Which means it was
fought BEFORE 2161, when Earth is still exploring the unknown.  I have
placed the war in approximately 2156.

EARLY FEDERATION
     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.  The new races are still trying to accept each other.  Most ships
are manned by mostly humans, with just a few adventurous Alphacents,
Andorians, Vulcans, etc.  Do I see any hands?

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", and 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 "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, unless Rick
Berman decided to break with tradition.  There were two more books
scheduled in this period, and we won't ever see them.

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" somewhat understated, when you
add 13 (till ST:TMP) + 2.8 (TOSend to ST:TMP) + 3 (2nd season to TOSend),
but perhaps Ceti Alpha V have 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 StarFleet Academy.
     After that, the ship probably spent a year in the docks for refits,
and Spock took over as Captain, with blessings 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, but probably should be. (grin)

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 EXCELSIOR).
     Most likely events would be Kirk retained command of his ship and
Spock stepped down and performed as Kirk's first officer.  They then went
on to some boring assignments like frontier charting, and perhaps another
five year mission.

BETWEEN ERAS
     After ST6:TUC, we move into the unknown.  Most of the TNG characters
are just being born in the next 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.
     With the airing of TNG:"Relics", we found that Scotty retired 75 years
before 2369, which is 2294.  This must be soon after ST6, which means NCC-
1701-A probably is decommissioned after ST6, or at least retired, or Scotty
would have gone to hell and yonder to be with his ship.
     There is a Third Klingo-Federation War (the second was stopped in the
middle by Organians), 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.  The basic idea is
Romulans provoked more border incidents between the Klingons and the Feds,
and Kirk have to haul out the NCC-1701-A out of a disposal yard and travel
to Kronos again...  And this time, he'll die out there, alone.
     Not long after the end of the Third Klingo-Federation War, the
Cardassian War started.  It was mentioned 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.  I heard that the new NCC-1701-D cutaway chart has
the name of NCC-1701-B's captain.  However, I seems to have forgotten who
that would be.
     All we know about the NCC-1701-C is from the episode and the TNG:TM,
TNG:"Yesterday's ENTERPRISE".


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?  Deep Space
Nine should give you a lot of other ideas.  What wil happen after TNG?
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!

Part 5/5: FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTES


1    Thanks for Christopher Ward for the correction.  The information is
from JANE'S FIGHTING SHIPS.

2    In case no one told you, the aircraft carrier in ST4:TVH is NOT the
USS ENTERPRISE, but the USS RANGER.

3    The restoration of the "space shuttle" ENTERPRISE is revealed in TOSN:
A Flag Full of Stars.

4    Obviously I forgot WHICH one...  Someone care to write me about it?
(Since no one has written me since initial edition of over a year ago...)

5    The PEACEKEEPER-class vessels are purely my imagination.  But it does
sound possible, doesn't it?
6    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.

7    According to TNGCom, The "new" United Nations was born on 2036 and
died at 2079.  See page 24.

8    See one of the footnotes at the bottom of the page, as Kirk received
his "senceiver" alert, in ST:TMP Novelization.

9    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)

10   According to THE WORLDS OF THE FEDERATION, the four light years' trip
took six years under high impulse, with time dilation I suppose.

11   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.

12   Earth was still partly a mess in 2079, since Q brought Picard and crew
back to the "Post-Atomic Horrors".  It could be thought that these are just
isolated pockets of un-civilization, rules by warlords.  New United Nations
did their best to clean out these pockets threatening world peace, but one
of them repeatedly tried to procure anti-matter by attacking the research
facility where the Cochrane team is located, and the guards couldn't always
help.  Finally, Cochrane team decided to leave for peace.
     The above is merely a conjecture by the author, and should not be
construed as actual "Star Trek history".

13   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.
14   The DECLARATION-class cruise liner ENTERPRISE was mentioned in several
previous Star Trek chronologies.

15   The design defect part is from my imagination.  The book only said
something like "The Romulans used high-powered lasers to explosively
decompress the crew chambers.  They then towed the cruiser home and soon
added small warp drives to their ships."

16   There have been arguments over this date all over the place.  I've
been told that previous estimates (based on Goldstein's STARFLIGHT
CHRONOLOGIES) is 2089, while the fandom have came up with the date of 2121.
Since 2161 is the year given for "Federation Day" a compromise is reached:
Federation started in its embryonic form (like League of Nations before
United Nations) in 2089, and was formally declared in 2161.

17   StarFleet Academy is shown in TNG:"First Duty".  Someone spotted that
the StarFleet Academy logo have Roman numerals meaning 2161.

18   Ms. Grayson is 52 in the episode, Sarek was 101.

19   See page 128, TNG Tech Manual.

20   This would also fit the info given in ST6:TUC, as Spock had said
during the briefing, it has been 70 years of conflict.

21   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

22   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"

23   MANN-class cruisers, saucer-shaped hull, first appeared in the novel
THE FINAL REFLECTION by John M. Ford.

24   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.

25   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.  Nyota sounds better to me.

26   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.

27   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".

28   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.
29   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.

30   That's a two grade jump, folks.  Commodore is the first step, and Kirk
skipped that totally!

31   See TNG Tech Manual, page 128.

32   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.  Finally... The CORRECT answer: CONSTITUTION-
class, as shown on bridge graphics in ST6:TUC.

33   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.

34   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.

35   Gene Roddenberry had stated MANY MANY times that he does not like the
idea of Transwarp, therefore it is a failure.  TNG:TM confirmed it.

36   A fun fact to observe...  The motto of the EXCELSIOR is "No matter
where you go, there you are."  (from Buckaroo Banzai)

37   Geordi said It's been 80 years since the Soyuz-class went out of
service.  2369-80 ~= 2288.

38   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.

39   Obviously no relation to me...  Haha.

40   ST6 happened approximately in 2292 since Scotty disappeared sometime
in 2293 according to TNG:"Relics".

41   The Stardate came from the novelizaiton.  Quite a bit of difference.

42   This date is just a guess on my part.  Someone said Johnson? commands
this ship, from the new cutaway Galaxy-class poster.

43   Picard was fifty-five (55) in the novelization.

44   Well...  Someone said July 13, 2305, TNG:"Conundrum" I think.

45   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.

46   TNG: The Neutral Zone stated it has been 50 years since anyone sighted
a Romulan or any Romulan ship.

47   According to ST:TNG First Year Sourcebook (FASA), she's 41, which
would be about right, despite the "un"-officialness.  The maiden name and
location of birth are from TNG:"Conundrum".

48   Cardassian War was mentioned many times, including TNG:The Wounded and
TNG: Unification I.

49   Admiral Kennily said it has been 40 years ago in the episode.

50   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.

51   Riker was 32 in the novelization.  The middle initial came from a
convention.  Thelonius was a great jazz player of 20th Century.

52   I don't know if this is true...  Recently Jonathan Frakes (William T.
Riker) started saying at conventions that T. stands for Thomas.  Any
confirmation?  Or is that just a joke?

53   The AMBASSADOR-class is also the first to have a saucer section that
is capable of independent deployment (much like the GALAXY-class).
Information from TNG Tech Journal.

54   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.

55   And Will Riker blamed his father for it.  I wonder why?

56   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.

57   "Kronos" appeared in ST6:TUC.  Also see 42.

58   According to TNG:"The Bonding", Worf was about 6 years old when the
Romulans destroyed the Khitomer Colony.

59   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.

60   Wesley is approximately 16 during the first season, and was officially
pronounced 18 in TNG:"Evolution", third season opener.

61   Well...  We know Worf is a year or two older than Kern.  If we know
how old Kern is, we can guess how old Worf is.  If we know how old Worf is,
we know the attack on Khitomer is when he was six years old, so you know
how I got the number.  (TNG:"The Bonding")

62   See page 57, TNG Tech Manual.

63   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 "The Bonding", Wesley said he was less than 12 when
his father died.  Since we know Wesley's age, we know when Jack died.


64   No, not that "pulling down front of shirt" stuff!

65   Since GALAXY came out 2357, and ENTERPRISE came out 2363, YAMATO
should be in between, and 2360 is right in the middle.  Which means one
should have appeared in 2366, and another in 2369.

66   Stardate according to Page 12, TNG Tech Manual.

67   I am quite aware that there was a controversy out there that O'Brien
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.  Besides,
TNGComp called O'Brien "lieutenent" at least four times.

68   The previous stardate from TNGN:Encounter at Farpoint is overridden by
screened evidence.

69   Someone called this episode "Riker's Greatest Hits" (grin)

70   At one ship every three years, this sounds about right, as GALAXY in
2357, YAMATO in 2360, and ENTERPRISE in 2363.

71   The numbers came from TNG: Drumhead, during the prosecution (?) of
Captain Jean-Luc Picard by Admiral (retired) Saati.

72   Gee, can you imagine Worf as the first humanoid you see ever?

73   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.

74   On Dr.Crusher's screen for death notice of Ensign Ro, there is a
stardate: 45892.4.
