trek chronology notes 9011.04 * ********************************************************************* fasa dates have been ignored, except in the cases where they have been incorporated into the novels and do not conflict. all comic books have also been avoided since i personally doubt their accuracy, do not collect them, and am still recovering from the 1st generation of star trek comic books from way back when. many novels and short stories are included however, though it is very doubtful that they all occur in the same star trek timeline. note that primarily only past references of the novels and short stories are in the timeline. this is because the majority of novels occur during the latter half of the 5-year mission (c. 2263-2265), and accurately piecing together the exact order of novels and short stories is a near-impossible jigsaw puzzle, especially where they contradict one another. only specific novels with relevent date references have been included, primarily those that occur between star trek-the motion picture and star trek ii: the wrath of khan. the five-year mission the dates during which the famous 5 year mission occurs have been obtained from numerous sources. the original star trek time line was written by chuck graham and published in the fanzine menagerie v, c. star trek chronology 1974. it was a mere two pages long with less than 3 dozen dates up to the start of the mission (2260 a.d.), but it was reprinted in geoffrey mandel's starfleet handbook and apparently made its way around in fandom. the star fleet medical reference manual went by these dates and all other publications and blueprints followed suite. around 1980, a poorly researched book came out called star trek space flight chronology which totally blew away all previously established dates... how was 2260 a.d. established for the start of the 5-year mission? it's quite obvious that star trek is set in the 23rd century, this is an automatic "given" from sources such as the making of star trek. the question then arose as to exaactly when in this century. star trek's second pilot, "where no man has gone before" had the "enterprise" recover the recorder-marker of an earth ship at the edge of the galaxy, the s.s. "valiant." it was mentioned repeatedly that the valiant had been lost 200 years ago. for an earth vessel to travel that far it had to have had warp drive (despite kirk's comment about the inferior impulse engines of the "valiant"). warp drive was developed by earth in the 21st century as we later would meet the inventor, zefram cochrane in "metamorphosis" who disappeared "150 years ago" by mccoy's reckoning. he was an old man at the time, in cochrane's own words, before the companion rejuvenated him. furthermore, he went on to identify mr. spock as a vulcan (questionably), but had never heard of the united federation of planets. these facts alone place "where no man has gone before" no sooner than the mid-23rd century. in the first season episode "miri", the "enterprise" encounters a duplicate earth where, we assume, history ran parallel to that on the real earth. shortly after beamdown, spock comments that it is earth circa 1960. later on in the episode, kirk and spock come across an ancient piano. kirk asks mr. spock its age and spock replies with the figure of 300 years. 1960 + 300 = 2260 a.d. "space seed", the episode by which space flight chronology, and later fasa, falsly place star trek around the early 23rd century, must be ignored. if we examine this episode closely from the start, kirk was confused by the age of the s.s. "botany bay". when first spotted, kirk mistakenly refers to it as a dy-500 series ship and spock corrects him "much older, dy-100 series". after khan's revival kirk tells him he was sleeping for "two centuries we estimate". the dy-100 series was an interplanetary ship, according to spock, last produced and launched in the late 20th century. obviously the dy-500 came much later (mid- or late-21st century). kirk absent-mindedly told khan the two centuries after the dy-500 series (c. 2050 + 200 = 2250). likewise, the date mentioned in "squire of gothos" must also be ignored (placing star trek centuries later in time). the animated series which followed went on to support the 2260 star trek date. "the terratin incident" dealt with a lost earth colony star trek chronology stranded on the planet cepheus. at the beginning of the episode, uhura picks up a message in interstat code, commenting that inerstat's been out of use for two centuries. we later learn that the colony had transporters, which mr. spock was not surprised to learn for an early earth colony. the colony was originally named terra 10 and we assume that there were at least 9 other interstellar earth colonies attempted. this suggests that transporter technology was developed in the 21st century, probably shortly after warp drive. the episode "the slaver weapon" introduced us to the kzinti (borrowed from larry niven's known space books). we learn from mr. sulu that the kzinti fought 4 wars with mankind and lost all of them--the last one being 200 years ago. indeed, star trek cannot take place any earlier than 2260. in order to defeat the kzinti, earth had to have had space flight and warp driven ships. quite possibly the development of warp drive and transporter technology shortly thereafter enabled earth to conquer the kzinti. the novels which shortly followed supported this dating system. the dates mentioned in "world without end" place star trek sometime in the mid-23rd century and the novel "perry's planet" is set around an earth colony launched about 300 years ago (a bit on the high side). thus, the voyages of the "enterprise" under kirk's command occured from 2260-2265 a.d. other novels and references "fine-tuned" this a bit. "enterprise: the first adventure" tells us that kirk took command of the "enterprise" even earlier, 2258, based upon his age. furthermore, it would have taken time for kirk to familiarize himself with the ship before taking on any major missions. shortly after "enterprise" occurs the novel "strangers from the sky (book ii)", and then on to "where no man has gone before" (late 2259). this last episode takes up the bulk of time between 2258 and 2260: the two-way trip from u.f.p. space to the energy barrier at the edge of our galaxy. early 2260 is also spent uprating the "enterprise" ("constitution" class to the specs of the "bonhomme richard" class--but that's another file in itself!) and of course the installation of new systems and the institution of new uniforms ("corbomite maneuver" onwards). the 5 year mission therefore "officially" begins right after the "enterprise" returns and is refitted following the second pilot episode, in early 2260. (kirk's prologue explaining "its five year mission..." isn't even incorporated into the title sequence of the 2nd pilot episode!) now if the order of the original episodes are examined, you will notice them to be in production order. considering the minute changes of systems (and uniforms worn) aboard the enterprise, there is simply no other logical way to chronical the episodes. aired order begins with "the man trap", when clearly the first episode is "where no man has gone before". taking them in stardate order is an intriguing idea, but stardates do not hold up when the additional stardates of the animated series and the novels are incorporated. novels make things worse. in fact, stardates actually overlap in certain episodes ("corbomite maneuver" and "the man trap"). in addition, many novelists don't take stardates seriously. we have to live with the star trek chronology information in the making of star trek that stardates have no real chronological bearing for the enterprise. examining the chronology you will see that the first season episodes span the first two years, 2260 and 2261 and the second and third season epsides are in 2262 and 2263 respectively. why? "charlie x" is set in november as kirk mentions thanksgiving--the latter half of the year. the episodes "court-martial" and "the menagerie" were filmed one after another yet both take place at the same starbase 11 (despite asherman's numerical errors in his star trek compendium). we first see the base being commanded by commodore stone and then we see it commanded by commodore mendez. obviously there is a considerable gap of time between these two episodes. furthermore, in "day of the dove", kang states that the klingon empire and the federation have been at peace for 3 years, not 2 as we would believe (deliberately overlooking the possibility that he was referring to klingon years). immediately following the original episodes are the 22 animated episodes. they are not in production order, aired order, or stardate order. they follow in the order in which alan dean foster novelized them. why? a.d.f. has contributed more to the star trek universe than any other novelist in his star trek log series of ten books. they are linked together in his own unique order, with the last 4 adaptations blown-up into full-length novels, greatly expanded and providing a rich source of information to fandom. the klolode class ship name was taken from star trek log 4, the concept of transporter patterns being used for security purposes was taken from star trek log 3, and the rich background of the characters arex and m'ress were drawn from these novelizations. each of which was far more faithful to the original work than any of james blish's attempts. "the survivor" is said to take place on christmas and thus is considered the last episode of 2263. the bulk of the star trek novels follow the animated episodes in the remaining 2263 and 2264 years. early 2265 marks the end of the mission and "the lost years" follow immediately. two and a half years after, in 2267, "star trek-the motion picure" occurs. the movies undisputably, the films star trek ii: the wrath of khan, star trek iii: the search for spock, star trek iv: the voyage home, and star trek v: the final frontier all occur one after another with very short timelapses between one another. in fact, the above four films occured within one to two year's time, no longer. many months being the crews exile on vulcan between st iii and st iv, and the alteration of bridge and systems of ncc-1701-a between st iv and st v. this leaves us with the gap of time between star trek-the motion picture and star trek ii: the wrath of khan. from the statements of kirk and khan we are led to believe that "space seed" happened 15 years ago. there is therefore a gap of 7-8 years between st-tmp and st ii. unfortunately this does not hold up under intense analysis. there is overwhelming data to suggest that "space seed" occured further back than just 15 years. star trek chronology 1. in st ii, kirk reads the date 2283 off of the romulan ale bottle. mccoy replies that it needs to age. assuming it is an earth date and not a romulan date (fasa fans prefer the latter) then the timeline is off by 8+ years, as it brings us to 2275. 2. in st iii, admiral morrow states that the "enterprise" is 20 years old. what comes as a shock to the officers is star fleet's idea of decommissioning the "enterprise." although externally scarred from battling the "reliant", the "enterprise" was still quite intact and repairable. if there was only a 7-8 year gap between the time she was rebuilt and the time star fleet wants to decommission her, something is terribly wrong. even more troubling is the 20 years statement, when it should be more like 55 years. the "enterprise" is the pride of the fleet, the finest starship and according to unanimous tech sources, has a duration of 22 years. 3. in st v, the planet of galactic peace was established between the klingons, romulans, and federation. if "space seed" (a 1st season episode) was really 15 years ago, then it occured the same year as "balance of terror": the federation's only contact with the romulans in a century's time. in other words, nimbus iii was settled 5 years before "balance of terror" which is impossible. it's also quite unlikely that the war-mongering romulans would sit down with the federation and agree to jointly settle a planet. what is the solution to all these discontinuties? if admiral morrow was referring to the age of the uprated "enterprise" of st-tmp, then most of these problems are solved. 2267 + 20 = 2287. the date comes reasonably close to her maximum duration deadline (22 years). the date also surpasses the 2283 date on the ale bottle, well within the "need to age range" (4 year old ale). it's also a reasonable amount of time after "balance of terror" for the romulans to reaquaint themselves with the u.f.p. furthermore, the actors would be portraying characters much closer to their actual ages. otherwise, shatner, nimoy, and kelly would have been portraying characters 10+ years younger than themselves in st v! the only glitch in this approach is the 15 year statements in st ii. some were made by khan: perhaps a ceti alphan year is longer than an earth year? either way he still clung to 200 years from 1996, "on earth--200 years ago--i was a prince..." he was clearly confused about time passage. fasa fans and friends of shane johnson's books who dispute this and point to the service pins on the uniforms as a "proof" of a 7-8 year gap will be sad to know that the pins don't hold water under close analysis, since kirk should have at least one more 5 year pin and possibly 2 of them (kirk was at the academy 15 years before "space seed" according to "shore leave"). there are even more problems if anyone's analyzed the service pins on spock, mccoy, scotty, uhura, sulu, and chekov. the next generation how well does the timeline hold up when next generation dates and references are taken into account? very well, but there are anomalies. in "encounter at farpoint", data states mccoy's age at being 137. star trek chronology this places the first season of the next generation in the year 2355. towards the end of the first season, data gives us the year as being 2364. finally something undisputable to work with! there is a +9 year discrepancy. in the 3rd season, we are told by data in "evolution" that the last shipwide computer failure in a star fleet starship was 79 years ago. 2364 + 3 (3rd season/year) = 2366. 2366 - 79 = 2287! 2287, the year of our last 4 trek movies, the year of ncc-1701-a's launch and it's flop in st v due to a shipwide computer failure. there is little doubt why data was given this line in "evolution" and it's highly unlikely for it to be mere coincidence. right on the nose. in "sarek", picard tells his bridge officers that sarek is 202 years old. in "journey to babel" sarek stated his age at being 102.437--about 100 years between the two episodes. using my timeline, taking "journey to babel" as being in 2262 and "sarek" as being 2366, there's a +4 year discrepancy. one possible means of explaining away the problem of age is time dilation: the slowing down of time aboard ships approaching light speed in real space. over a great period of time, this can add up. consider the possibility that a being of star trek's time may have a biological age (the subjective age of the being's body) and a chronological age (the being's objective age computed from birthdate and present date). in the novel "enterprise: the first adventure", it is stated that yeoman rand had experienced this firsthand and used it to her advantage. with all the time mccoy and sarek spent in space, a few years would add up. it's quite apparent where the star trek script writers got their dates from. they went by the original series dates (1966-1969) and added 300 years on. the 2364 of the next generation was probably chosen because it is a century after "the cage", trek's first produced episode (1964). when st ii was filmed, it was nearly 15 years after 1966's "space seed". by the time st iii came out, the "enterprise" (the original model, that is!) was around 20 years old. the same figure of 20 years was used to place the time of the planet of galactic peace. the ages of mccoy and sarek were only roughly estimated by the writers based upon these factors, and in either case failed to take into account minute changes, such as "sarek" being a third season episode. the year 2287 of st v was appropriately chosen because it is nearly contemporary and nearly the year of st v's release, minus three centuries. in closing, let me add that i am not responsible for creating this chronology. these dates are compiled from numerous sources, spanning over 15 years, from star trek "tech fandom" which has been responsible for much of the detailed technical background of the star trek universe. the material from the novels was simply integrated in based upon references given. as for the chronology itself, here's a rough look at my sources, a bibliography: the starfleet handbook (1975): chuck graham's 2-page star trek timeline which set the trend for future trek historians. not very accurate for certain dates, but overall forming the layout of trek history. star trek chronology star fleet medical reference manual: featuring an impressive medical timeline of dates and a detailed listing of elements and their dates and places of discovery. u.s.s. enterprise officer's manual: the first book to accurately nail down the starting and ending dates of the 5 year mission. the manual is also a treasure chest of birthdates and service records of the enterprise officers, and also the launch date of the constitution class heavy cruiser (c. 2217), nicely jiving with the material in the making of star trek and star trek log 7. there is also rich background about how (larry niven's) kzinti and (james blish's) vegans fit into star trek. as a side note, a revised u.s.s. enterprise officer's manual was later published--drastically changed with dates altered to fit into the faulty fasa roleplaying/spaceflight chronology universe. much was removed and some pages were added, with considerable contributions from shane johnson, a die-hard fasa supporter who has his own conflicting tech drawings. the revised manual should be ignored date-wise. star trek maps: once again adding to what went before it, this beautiful package features the u.f.p. mapped out in 4 colorful maps based upon actual star charts packed with details. the 29 u.f.p. worlds admission dates into the federation are given here along with the founding/contact dates in an introduction to navigation manual, which also provides insight into the chronological development of warp drive. u.s.s. avenger class blueprints: mostly background information and dates about how the "reliant" of st ii evolved in an excellent set of blueprints. starship design: a 23rd century naval publication showing numerous ships and their background. line officer requirements: a 3-volume set (volumes i & ii plus a supplement). the least impressive of all manuals, artwork wise, but easily surpassing fasa works in workmanship and research (if overlooking numerous typographical errors). numerous historical dates are given. federation reference series: 6 issues forming an updated tech manual which includes the best guide to star fleet uniforms ever. the actual launch dates of classic star fleet ship classes are given along with their status codes (based upon the subquadrant info in star trek maps). dates of uniform issuing, the klingon war etc. the first manual to go by the 20 year gap (sttmp/st ii) assumption. u.s.s. ingram/excelsior blueprints: nice prints of the upgraded u.s.s. "excelsior." acknowledges the 20 year gap (as does all publications from here on) and supplies dates concerning the transwarp development and the date of the most recent films (2287). u.s.s. enterprise heavy cruiser evolution blueprints: 3 giant sheets star trek chronology packed with info, expanding upon federation reference series, giving the launch and commissioning dates of heavy cruisers and how the u.s.s. "enterprise" was uprated over the decades to match the latest heavy cruiser specs. ships of the fleet (vol. i): an expansion of heavy cruiser evolution blueprints but with emphasis upon their current status. not only featuring heavy cruisers but also the belknap strike cruiser and rich backgrounds of each class. oh, one more thing... this star trek chronology is copyright 1990 by 'james dixon'. it's not to be sold or altered in any way but you're free to distribute it around all you'd like... in fact, i'm hoping that you do. leave the altering to me. i'm sure that by the time you read this file my original will be greatly expanded. this originally started off as a hobby for my own private use and i had no intention of uploading it. now it's grown beyond that. special thanks go to lyndon brunel for technical support and additional research and, of course, my deepest thanks to those who've contributed to and expanded upon "tech fandom"... |
