      "K't'inga" ("Great Powerful Conqueror," KL 99634) class heavy
     battlecruiser near Gamma Canaris.  Having sustained considerable hull
     and bulkhead damage from the engagement, the "Constitution" is
     drydocked at Starbase 27.  This delay in resuming its mission will
     prevent her from serving as the new heavy cruiser class lead vessel:
     the initially-proposed "Constitution (II)" class [FSF, FRS].

     After extensive evaluation the high-power Shasta phaser system at the

     The number of "Tikopai" class heavy cruisers authorized for
     construction is reduced from 43 to 33 ships for fiscal reasons
     [SotF].

     2273, March
     The U.S.S. "Avenger" (NCC-1860) heavy frigate rebuilding begins, using
     the old "Surya" class frigates [SotF, HFP, FRS].

     Preliminary Evaluation tests are conducted on 1/3-scale "Akyazi"
     prototypes constructed by Avondale and Temerand.  The designs are
     radically different and neither meets the performance parameters for
     flight compatibility set down by the Star Fleet Requirements Board.
     The PAPE program is terminated [SotF2].

     The "Enterprise" class heavy cruisers have their six primary hull
     RIM-9 phaser banks upgraded to RIM-12C systems [SotF].

          13 July
     The U.S.S. "Endeavor" (NCC-1716) heavy cruiser is recommissioned.
     Essentially uprated heavy cruisers based on the "Achernar" design with
     self-contained non-networked LN-52 linear warp drive nacelles and
     uprated sensor/navigational deflector dishes, twelve of this class are
     converted ships while four (NCC-1728-1731) are newly-built
     replacements for the destroyed heavy cruisers "Constellation,"
     "Defiant," "Intrepid" and "Valiant".  Each ship has warp 10 capacity
     and carries a complement of 430 [SotF, HCE].

     The "Marco Polo" class I freighter is launched [TNG #13].

              December
     The Cammell IV revelations concerning Star Fleet's covert operations
     against the Kzin prior to the Kzinti Incursion result in massive
     cutbacks in Fleet programs.  The Council temporarily freezes all Class
     1 starship construction; the "Akyazi" program is put on indefinite
     hold (where it will remain for nearly ten years) [SotF2, SotF].

     Star Fleet Command [ECP].

     The warp engines of the "Enterprise" heavy cruisers are uprated with
     minor modifications.  Uprating on all "Enterprise" starships will be
     completed by 2276.  The engines will again be uprated once again,
     beginning in 2281.  In addition to main propulsion, "Enterprise" class
     starships have their six RH single mount secondary hull phaser banks
     replaced with RSM-14B single mount banks [SotF].

           07 February
     The U.S.S. "Belknap" (NCC-2501) strike cruiser is commissioned.
     Capable of warp 12, these cruisers which will total 28, combines many
     of the features of the heavy cruisers and dreadnoughts into a more
     warp dynamic design.  Basically the "Belknap" class is an "Enterprise"
     class heavy cruiser with a smaller secondary hull--having increased
     maneuverability.  They will be assigned patrol duties along the
     U.F.P./Klingon Neutral Zone, their maneuverability giving them the
     best battle advantage over the Klingon "K't'inga" class destroyers
     [SotF, FRS, DPS, SsD, LOR, SFD].

              May
     The U.S.S. "Avenger" (NCC-1860) heavy frigate is recommissioned.
     These new heavily-armed vessels equipped with 4 megaphaser cannons, 4
     photon torpedo banks, and 12 standard phasers, will form the basis of
     the "Knox" frigates to be constructed in the future.  With a
     complement of 360 and a warp capacity of 11, a total of 22 ships of
     this class (NCC-1860-NCC-1881) will be built.  Smaller and slower than
     the "Belknap" strike cruiser, the "Avenger" possesses increased
     maneuverability and fire-power, added to the enormous hangar
     facilities, allowing it to carry a squadron of "Killerbee" attack
     craft.  They are ideally used for patrolling the various small neutral
     zones in the U.F.P. Treaty Zone, such as the Kzin Patriarchy and the
     Orion system [SotF, FRS, HFP].

     James Armstrong applies for admission to the Star Fleet Academy [TNG
     230].

     The U.S.S. "Artemis," bound for Septimus Minor, colonizes Tau Cygna V

     The U.S.S. "Essex" (NCC-1727) undergoes a standard overhaul during
     which her PB-32 engines are again uprated with internal modifications,
     once again improving acceleration times and increased endurance at
     specific warp speeds [SotF].

              November
     Rebuilding begins on the U.S.S. "Federation" (NCC-2100) dreadnought,

     2275, 16 February
     The "Avenger" class U.S.S. "Reliant" (NCC-1864) heavy frigate is
     recommissioned [SotF, FRS, HFP].

     The U.S.S. "Daran" (NCC-3201) fast frigate is commissioned.  By 2278,
     this class, based upon the "Avenger" heavy frigate design, will total
     twelve starships (NCC-3201-NCC-3212), each having warp 11 capacity, a
     complement of 345, and 12 phaser emplacements [SotF].

     The U.S.S. "Lynx" (NCC-4600) experimental timeship is constructed.
     The "Lynx" is a modified "Monoceros" (NCC-601) class scout, built for
     the single purpose of exploring the viability of retrograde time
     travel for research purposes.  Her complement is 254, warp capacity of
     only warp 6.1 not built with warp dynamics a priority, and ordnance
     consisting of 8 phaser emplacements and two torpedo tubes (with only
     12 torpedoes total) [LTP].

           15 August
     The U.S.S. "Tikopai" (NCC-1800) heavy cruiser is, at long last,
     commissioned. After constant redesigns due to the influx of new drive
     technologies in the early 2260's this class was greatly delayed.
     Utilizing LN-65A engines, a complement of 440, and a slightly modified
     primary hull, these are essentially another variation on the
     "Enterprise" heavy cruiser.  A total of 33 "Tikopai" heavy cruisers
     will be built (NCC-1800-NCC-1832): all new ships [SotF].

     Jaine and Nervek do theoretical work in subatomic 'kindergarten

     2276, July
     Recently seated Councillor Arman Thel introduces several plebiscites
     aimed at re-instituting debate on the validity of a new perimeter
     action program.  Despite promised support from various Council
     members, the issue is not tabled during any of seven Council sessions
     (into February of 2277) [SotF2].

           August
     The uprated U.S.S. "Federation" (NCC-2100) dreadnought is
     recommissioned.  With state-of-the-art warp drive (three LN-64
     nacelles), 20 phasers, 4 photon torpedo banks, a cloaking device, and
     a complement of 500, these "Federation (II)" class dreadnoughts serve
     as flagships for many subquadrant fleets and system defense forces.  A
     total of nine will be reconstructed, each one capable of warp 15--the
     fastest ships in Star Fleet of the 23rd Century [FRS, SsD, DDS, LOR].

     The "Ariadne" (NCC-206) class clippers are ordered.  127 vessels will
     be built [SotF2].

     A program is authorized to develop the transwarp drive system [ECP].

           22 November
     The U.S.S. "Ariel" (NCC-2200) shuttlecarrier is commissioned.  This
     immense delta-winged starship with warp 14 capacity via LN-65A engines
     and a complement of 842 is the largest Star Fleet vessel to date.
     Only four such vessels will be constructed (NCC-2200-NCC-2203), but
     its extremely warp-dynamic design is considered for the construction
     of future deep-space ships [HCE].

     Charis (T'Kuht), Vulcan's sister planet, is at its closest orbital
     position to Vulcan in more than three centuries [TOS #20].

     The "Lexington" (NCC-1703) and "Excalibur" (NCC-1705) are assigned to
     deep space missions outside U.F.P. territory [SotF].

     2277
     A special committee of the Federation Council agrees upon a new U.F.P.
     flag: a flat representation of the Federation Treaty Zone, surrounded
     by a white circular field, superimposed upon a blue field [LOR, SFD].

     The practice of seperate insignia for each starship is abolished, and
     the "Enterprise" emblem is adopted as the official symbol for the
     entire Star Fleet [NTM].

     The U.S.S. "Enterprise" makes first contact with the Inari
     civilization when encountering a scout ship just beyond subquadrant 3
     south [SotF].

     The U.S.S. "Excelsior" (NCC-1718) heavy cruiser disappears while on a
     reconnaissance mission outside U.F.P. treaty territory (external to
     subquadrant 2 south).  The next ship to bear the name will be the lead
     vessel of a whole new generation of starships [SotF].

           17 May
     The U.S.S. "Knox" (NCC-1940) frigate is commissioned.  Essentially
     scaled-down "Avenger" heavy frigates, 26 in all will be built
     (NCC-1940-NCC-1965).  Armed with only phasers (no torpedoes), a
     complement of 350, and a warp capacity of 11, these ships will replace
     the converted "Surya" frigates.  Having increased speed and even
     greater maneuverability than the "Avenger" heavy frigates, they will
     be used for similar missions but closer to the U.F.P.'s interior
     [SotF, FRS, SsD, LOR, SFD].

     2278, January
     Chief of Star Fleet Command Hierachiro Nogura orders the construction
     of the "Menahga" (NCC-3100) class battlecruiser [FRS].

     "Enterprise" class starships' "Daystrom" Duotronic II computer systems

     Westlake [FRS].

           02 June
     The "Ascension" (NCC-2520) dreadnought is commissioned.  A
     mini-"Federation (II)" class dreadnought, ten ships of this class will
     be constructed (NCC-2520-NCC-2529).  With warp 15 capability, a crew
     of 485, and--like the "Federation"--three LN-64 propulsion units.  A
     built-up version of the "Belknap" class.  Long-range coupled with
     truly high speed capabilities make the "Ascension" and her sisters
     ideal for investigating trouble spots throughout the U.F.P. Treaty
     Zone--as they happen, and especially for emergency rescue operations.
     For these reasons, they are stationed in a disperse pattern throughout
     the U.F.P., with at least one based at every major starbase [FRS, LOR,
     SsD, DDS, SFD].

           10 August

     Achernar goes nova, destroying the U.S.S. "Constellation" (NCC-7100?,
     class ship of the "Constellation" class?).  Alpha Centauri B also goes
     nova shortly thereafter.  Many other stars are also showing signs of
     entering a nova phase due to a time acceleration phenomena.  Admiral
     Kirk is once again given temporary command of the "Enterprise" on a
     mission to Gateway, in order to halt the phenomena [TOS #39].

           April
     Temerand Duplicat funds an internal company design program quietly
     dubbed IPP-1 (Internal Perimeter Program 1).  The company's Martian
     facility begins conducting independent research and development in an
     effort to produce several PA designs that would be acceptable to Star
     Fleet should the perimeter action program be reactivated [SotF2].

           17 October
     The U.S.S. "Stark" (NCC-3208) fast frigate is repaired in Earth orbit
     after being severely damaged on stardate 7955.5 when defense craft of
     the Gorn Hegemony fired upon what they reportedly believed was an
     unidentified ship which did not respond to messages.  33 of the ship's

     2282
     The "Enterprise" makes second contact with the Calligar at Anomaly
     T-128 (Pike's Rift).  Assembled for this historic event is Commodore
     Jose Tyler, Dr. Richard Daystrom, and Ambassador Robert Fox.  Captain
     Kirk performs the marriage of Commodore Tyler to former Master Builder
     Ecma of the Calligar.  The Tellarite government lodges a formal
     complaint with the U.F.P. and declares war on the Calligar for the
     death of Shondar Dorkin.  Dr. Daystrom develops the groundwork for
     which the holodeck technology would be derived from his study of the

     during the Taal Tan Offensive at Linze: Klingon attacks upon U.F.P.
     merchant ships.  This substantial increase in Klingon activity leads
     to the construction of additional frigate-type starships by Star
     Fleet: the pacifist bloc falling out of favor with the Offensive
     having shaken the Federation Council [SotF, SotF2].

           08 June
     Lars-Eric Valdemar becomes Federation Commissioner of the Star Fleet
     Division, signifying Council support for a program of Fleet

     2284,    January
     "Akyazi" prototype test article evaluations continue on shell
     prototypes No. 2 & 3 at Temerand.  Some changes include: improvement
     of recognition profile and stealth characteristics by the elimination
     of a 6th deck in the main hull; incorporation of the "Fier" LN-90 warp
     units into the design, replacing the larger LN-83 system; creation of
     a "double boom" structure to seperate engineering functions from the
     main hull, resulting in greater warp maneuverability and enhanced
     safety characteristics.  Prototype No. 1 is loaned to TacFleet for
     security evaluations [SotF2].

              March (stardate 8315.6)
     All major design features in the "Akyazi" are finalized and approved
     by the Requirements Board.  Temerand develops modifications to the
     basic "Akyazi" design allowing the incorporation of the "lulus"
     Protective Envelope system and the ASL emergency impulse package
     [SotF2].

              April
     TacFleet returns "Akyazi" Prototype No. 1 after security evaluation

     of tests that revealed the formation of fissures in the propulsion
     shaft coupling units.  These fissures were caused by an overtaxing of
     the coupling units during high-velocity (above warp 20) warp
     maneuvering of Prototype No. 2, resulting in partial or complete loss
     of the impulse amplification crystal.  This necessitates the addition
     of a second, back-up amplification crystal to the "Akyazi" design.
     The containment apparatus will be perfected in time for inclusion in
     the "Arbiter" sub-class [SotF2].

     Refinements to the "Akula" prototype configuration are necessary after
     poor results following warp field stability tests with the "Kratos"
     engines.  Modifications include reconfiguration of the internal flux
     chillers, expansion of the intake vents, and new alignments for the
     support pylon propulsion shafts [SotF2].

              August
     Prototype No. 7 is shifted to TacFleet for evaluation of acceleration
     rates, warp braking, warp and sublight maneuverability and
     "dead-weapon" war games scenarios.  Several classified intelligence
     systems are installed for testing purposes.  The No. 7 ship will be
     "hunted" by as many as 9 TacFleet adversaries in some exercises
     [SotF2].

              September
     The various design improvements and alterations to the "Arbiter"
     sub-class prototypes are individually evaluated.  All successful
     adaptations are incorporated into Prototype No. 6 in order to achieve
     a fully operational testbed [SotF2].

           02 October
     42 ships of the "Arbiter" design are officially ordered by Star Fleet.

      Though refinements to some systems continue, the basic external
     design is nearly identical to the "Akyazi" sub-class [SotF2].

              October
     Prototype No. 6 is shifted to the "Akula" test program after Star
     Fleet concludes weapons evaluations on the "Teviot" torpedo and JAKA
     phaser systems in the "Arbiter" operational mode.  The "Bia" deflector
     unit and a support pylon assembly will be fitted to evaluate the "Bia"
     MDS system and the Flocon-designed Tuch compact phaser mounts.  Tests
     with the system installed in Prototype No. 11 result in an overloading
     of the Tuch phaser system whenever the deflector unit successfully
     absorbs and dissipates a significant amount of offensive energy
     [SotF2].

     Prototype No. 11 performs flawlessly under the direction of Lt.
     Commander Sori Descanta and the command crew that will be assigned to
     the "Kitkun" (NCC-1091).  The prototype is put through a series of
     complicated maneuvers, readiness inspections, and war games exercises
     during a 4-day Admiralty Inspection event at Starbase 20.  Eight
     vessels participate, with the prototype garnering a second-place
     scoring finish overall, surpassed only by the "Engage" (NCC-1125)
     [SotF2].

              March
     Construction on the U.S.S. "Akyazi" and "Akitsu" is delayed at Arbing
     & Lidde to allow for the incorporation of various design improvements,
     including modification and reinforcement of the bridge/lifeboat
     configuration and minor rearrangement of the internal bracing within
     the double boom structure.  These changes are the result of
     improvements made in the prototypes during the "Arbiter" test program
     [SotF2].

     built [TNG 147].

              September
     TacFleet deployment requirements for the "Akula" sub-class necessitate
     the inclusion of numerous back-up systems and many redundant
     subsystems in the ships' design.  The "Akulas" will be assigned to
     volatile areas of U.F.P. space where the adversary ratio will be
     inordinately high.  Prototype No. 7, previously shifted to the "Akula"
     program in August, will be the full-systems prototype for the "Akula"
     design; Prototype No. 5 will serve the same function for the "B"
     variant [SotF2].

     superscout [SfP, SFD].

     Star Fleet reluctantly begins decommissioning and scrapping the older
     Class 1 heavy cruisers [SfP].

              November
     A standard periodic examination reveals microscopic stress fractures
     and mild fatigue at certain points along the propulsion package
     support pylon assembly of Prototype No. 11.  The cause is determined
     to be the different warp geometries.  The other ships in the prototype
     fleet will be examined and a program implemented to redesign the
     structural reinforcement features of the propulsion support pylon
     assembly [SotF2].

           01 December

           03 April
     The U.S.S. "Abreus" (NCC-1017) perimeter action ship responds to a
     distress call from what is believed to be a TacFleet intelligence
     ship.  Upon arriving at the confirmed coordinates in the 3 south area,
     however, the "Abreus" is ambushed by no fewer than 7 hostile vessels.
     Debris analysis later reveals the weaponry to be of Romulan origin,
     but Star Fleet intelligence experts believe units of a Klingon "Hung
     nawlogh" (perhaps utilizing Romulan vessels) were responsible
     [SotF2].

     upgraded "Excelsior" class starship with 22 phasers, 4 megaphasers,
     and 3 torpedo banks, the "Ingram" is equipped with a sophisticated
     form of standard linear warp drive due to the complexity,
     suceptibility to extraneous factors, and poor power curve of the
     transwarp drive [ECP].

     The proposed Project ADREFT ("Avenger" Design REFiT), of upgrading the
     heavy frigate class with a single warp drive, megaphaser, and weapons

     Primmin's Hunt Exercise.  The perimeter action ships "Acerra"
     (NCC-1049), "Jico" (NCC-1057), and "Armavir" (NCC-1059) are tracked
     into seperate areas of operation by 3 individual task force units.
     Their orders are to avoid their respective group of "hunters" (each
     consisting of 1 heavy cruiser and 1 fast frigate) while remaining
     within their assigned areas of space.  Utilizing all of the elements
     at their disposal, including speed, maneuverability, cloaking systems,
     and overall stealth characteristics, only the "Acerra" is located by
     her assigned search task force after 6 days of attempts [SotF2].

     this class are planned [SotF].

     Captain Roger Wright is assigned to the Cathedral Unit of Star Fleet
     [SfP].

     After 25 years the U.F.P. seal is changed.  The new seal features a
     more uniform laurel wreath similar to that in the United Nations seal,
     circling an altered, gridless, view of the Treaty Zone emphasizing 3
     stars.  It will be approximately one year before the new seal is
     employed throughout all divisions of the U.F.P. but it shall remain
     unaltered for over 80 years [ST VI, SfP].

     The upgrading of the 16 "Starstalker" (NCC-2117) class patrol cruisers
     to class 1b technology begins.  The addition of dual phaser cannon
     makes this class the most heavily armed in the fleet [SfP].

     The "Ranger" (NCC-2701) light cruiser class starship is launched.
     Featuring 12 phaser emplacements, two torpedo tubes, a complement of
     470, and a maximum speed of warp 14.9, it is the most accepted light
     cruiser class starship since the introduction of the "Amchitka"
     (NCC-1310) class.  The ECHO (Enhanced Collimation via Harmonic

     new starship class [SfP]

     A new starship class, the Tactical Cruiser, is launched.  The U.S.S.
     "Thruxton" (NCC-2761) TacCruiser class features a ship's complement of
     455, 4 phaser cannon, 12 standard phasers, 4 torpedo tubes, and a
     maximum speed of warp 15.3 [SfP].

     The U.S.S. "S'Harien" (NCC-3107) class battlecruiser prototype is
     launched.  Features include 12 phasers, 4 torpedo tubes, a ship's
     complement of 440, an emergency warp of 13.4, and a unique
     jettisonable secondary hull.  This ship represents an improved and
     upgraded "Menahga" (NCC-3100) class battlecruiser, and plans are made
     to recall most of the "Menahga" starships back for refit following the
     commissioning of this improved battlecruiser class [SfP].

     The long-heralded "Pharris" (NCC-3537) strategic frigate class is
     launched.  Featuring three landing platforms, a complement of 375,
     warp 11.8 capacity, two torpedo tubes (of a new launch design mounted
     in the old hull position just below the bridge), and 12 standard
     phaser emplacements, it is yet another offshoot of the "Avenger"
     (NCC-1860) heavy frigate class but incorporating close-mounted warp
     nacelles [SfP].

     Incorporating design elements of the "Avenger" (NCC-1860) class heavy
     frigates, the "Adamant" (NCC-3029) dreadnought class prototype is
     launched.  Along with the traditional 3 nacelles, her elongated hull
     features 4 fore/aft firing megaphasers, 12 standard phaser
     emplacements, 4 photon torpedo tubes (in a weapons pod), but a
     complement of only 430 and an emergency maximum speed of warp factor
     12.6 [SfP].

     The "Dupleix" (NCC-2346) class perimeter action ship is tested,
     utilizing an experimental twin nacelle deployment to harness the
     absolute maximum speed (warp factor 14) and acceleration advantage for
     an Escort-design, while seriously sacrificing maneuverability.  Her
     specs include 14 standard phaser emplacements, two fore/aft firing
     megaphaser cannon, and a complement of 311 [SfP].

     The "Scimitar" (NCC-2901) fast destroyer class is the first attempt to
     achieve tandem nacelles at the bottom of a dorsal pylon in a starship.
      Chosen as a testbed vessel for both the BackUP phaser/photon torpedo
     augmentation system and the controversial Perseus Shield System, the
     "Scimitar" has a complement of 320, a maximum emergency warp of 12.4,
     4 torpedo tubes, and 14 standard phasers (not counting the BackUP
     unit) [SfP].

     Derived from the "Dupleix" (NCC-2346) dual nacelle design, the
     "Phantom" (NCC-2951) superscout prototype is launched, featuring the
     experimental "Opera" passive sensor pod array to serve as a mobile
     covert sensor platform.  A complement of 300, 12 phasers, and an
     emergency max. speed of warp 13.6, makes this a unique class to be
     built [SfP].









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 114




     The "Davenport" (NCC-2635) corvette class prototype is launched.  The
     first experiment with lateral-oriented nacelles gives this class warp
     13.6 maximum speed.  Having virtually no secondary hull and a
     complement of only 275, this class is armed with only two fore/aft
     megaphaser cannon [SfP].

     The prototype U.S.S. "Schmidt" (NCC-800) tug completes trial runs.
     This Class 2 spacecraft design having a complement of only 62, a
     cruising speed of warp 5, and a tractor beam nacelle with no ordnance,
     is scheduled to replace the "Ptolemy" (NCC-3801) class transport/tugs
     [SfP].

     The "Archangel" (NCC-2294) class shuttlecarrier is launched.  Intended
     to eventually replace the "Ariel" (NCC-2200) class shuttlecarriers,
     the "Archangel" features 6 landing bays, a ship's complement of 500,
     14 phaser emplacements, warp 9.5 capacity, and two impulse drives
     [SfP].

     The U.S.S. "Enterprise" undergoes various refittings to her bridge
     module, warp drive (the incorporation of salvaged Transwarp technology
     & intermix sequence giving the ship a maximum emergency velocity of
     warp 18.6), secondary propulsion (all pulsed laser reaction-control
     systems replaced with particle-beam thrusters), and the possible
     upgrading of life support and transporter systems--with the potential
     alteration of exterior hull markings in the near-future [SfP, EDP, ST
     VI].

     FASA dates have been ignored, except in certain 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.  Previous versions of this
     Chronology included only past references of data in novels and short
     stories falling in the latter portion of the 5-year mission (c.
     2263-2265) due to the complexity of arranging the bulk of these novels
     into an exact order.  This latest version includes all "5th year"
     novels, up to the date of publication, arranged in a reasonable
     chronological order, complete with stardates (when available)!


                             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.
     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 suit and to this
     very day "Tech Fandom" still very much abides by this chronology.
     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 exactly 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









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 164



     FASA, falsely places 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
     stranded on the planet Cepheus.  At the beginning of the episode,
     Uhura picks up a message in interstat code, commenting that
     interstat'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 colony attempts previously.  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 some time 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).
     Later novels would, unfortunately, use FASA/Space Flight Chronology
     dates ("The Final Reflection," "Final Frontier" and "Strangers From
     The Sky"), which sets Star Trek around 2208 A.D.

     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" comes 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 to
     accommodate the more detailed "Enterprise" model--but that's ANOTHER









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 165



     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 chronicle 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.  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 information in The
     Making of Star Trek that stardates have no real chronological bearing
     for the "Enterprise", even though the latest Next Generation episodes
     have been trying to keep the stardate order consistent with the aired
     order.

     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
     have seen only ONE starbase in the original series: Starbase 11).  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 many other novelists 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









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 166



     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 Picture
     takes place.

     As previously stated, most Trek novels are set during the "5th year"
     of the 5-year mission.  They bridge the gap between the 22 cartoon
     adventures and Star Trek-The Motion Picture.  It is highly unlikely
     that All of them actually occur in the same universe or
     timeline--certainly not in the brief year of time allocated.  Still, I
     have made an attempt to arrange the novels and short stories into a
     reasonable order.  I've also added on a few notes that helped me sort
     them, featuring glaring errors contained within.  It is not flawless,
     but is probably as close as we'll ever come to a chronology of
     early/mid 2264 to March 2265:

     #54 "A Flag Full of Stars" by Brad Ferguson  [The author blew the date
     by 3 years by having it set during the Apollo Moon Landing

     Note that the two "New Voyages" books are collections of short
     stories.  Not all of which are set in the same timeline.  This is
     especially true for "Visit to a Weird Planet Revisited" (a comedy
     where the actors transpose with their characters) and "Mind Sifter"
     (involving Captain Spock rescuing Kirk A.W.O.L. for a year in Earth's
     past).

     Here's how I developed it.  The novels were first arranged in order of
     publication.  This was done because later novels would sometimes build
     upon earlier ones (i.e. particular events and characters).  The
     influences of the films are also evident in the novels and the
     advances of technology.  Next, all novels set after Star Trek-The
     Motion Picture were eliminated, along with the few novels set during
     the original series ("Web of the Romulans," "The Vulcan Academy
     Murders," "The IDIC Epidemic" and the more recent "Ghost-Walker") or
     before it ("Vulcan's Glory," "Enterprise: The First Adventure").
     Next, novels were grouped by author, in most instances.  Many writers
     recycle minor characters, and considering crew rotations at starbase
     layovers it seems plausible that they would occur very close to one
     another.  The character of Dr. Rigel in "Vulcan!" reappearing in
     "Death's Angel" is a good example.  There are exceptions, of course.
     An example is "Yesterday's Son" and "Time For Yesterday."  Both are by
     the same author, A.C. Crispin, yet "Time" clearly is set between Star
     Trek-The Motion Picture and ST II.  Sequels are common, including
     "Battlestations!" which immediately follows "Dreadnought!"  Finally,
     arranging the novels by data supplied in each--no easy task!  The
     easiest to handle were the 'chained' adventures such as "Spock Must
     Die!" and "Spock, Messiah!"  Early on in "Messiah" McCoy jokes "The
     last time Scotty operated the tranporter we got duplicate Spocks" and
     a footnote confirms that it immediately follows "Spock Must Die!"
     Similarly, "The Final Nexus" is a follow up to "Chain of Attack" which
     is in turn a followup to "The Abode of Life."

     Ingrit Tomson, Security Chief aboard the "Enterprise" is another









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 169



     useful key in chronicling the novels.  She first appeared in
     "Mindshadow" by J.M. Dillard and has survived all the way through "The
     Lost Years," the prequel to Star Trek-The Motion Picture, which
     officially marks the end of the 5-year mission.  Her character was
     borrowed by other authors and has appeared frequently, but this may
     end due to new Paramount restrictions on Trek authors...  The obvious
     point remains: she was the last Security Chief and novels featuring
     her should be grouped last.  "The Lost Years" indicates that she
     served under Kirk aboard the "Enterprise" for 4 years, starting out
     not as the Chief but as a security guard or other junior position.

     Diane Duane complicates matters.  In her novels set during the tail
     end of the 5-year mission, Nurse Chapel has left the "Enterprise" to
     get her doctorate.  Her replacement is Lia Burke, introduced to us in
      "The Wounded Sky."  Then why do the Ingrit Tomson novels, last in the
     series, sometimes feature Nurse Chapel aboard?  Also featured in this
     novel is another security chief (Matlock)!  Diane Duane's final novel,
     "Doctor's Orders," however, features BOTH Chief Tomson AND Lia Burke!
     In "The Lost Years," when the "Enterprise" enters dock, Nurse Chapel
     is mentioned as still being aboard and intent on getting her
     doctorate...  One solution is to take the Duane novels as being in an
     alternate timeline--but that's not for me to decide.  Another solution
     is that she left and came back.

     Make no mistake, this order is not flawless--it depends on how deeply
     you want to dig.
     Consider "Spock Must Die!" the first Star Trek novel.  Written by
     James Blish who did the novelizations of the classic episodes, he adds
     a brief footnote in a 3rd season novelized episode referring to "Spock
     Must Die!"  Going by this, one would think that the novel takes place
     before or during the third season--but it's chock full of references
     to many other third season episodes After the key episode!  It ends
     with the Organians depriving the Klingons of space travel.  As a
     result, "Spock Must Die!" was placed at the top of the "5th Year List"
     of books, bunked down only by "The Galactic Whirlpool" which features
     Arex and M'Ress AND Chekov, apparently bridging the animated series
     with the novels.

     Another example is the more recent novel "Faces Of Fire."  The
     "Historian's Note" at the beginning (which has not always been
     reliable) states that the story begins on stardate 3998.6 "which would
     place it about halfway through the starship 'Enterprise's' original
     five-year mission."  How can an old stardate which does not appear
     ANYWHERE in the actual story be used to calculate when in the 5-year
     mission the story takes place?  Old stardates can vary from 1254.4 to
     7403.6 in the original series and don't progress sequentially.
     Stardates aside, the novel either fits into Trek's 2nd season or after
     it (5th year, maybe).  The ship's complement and rank all reflect the
     original 5-year mission, including the presence of Lt. Leslie and Dr.
     M'Benga.  Pinpointing exactly WHEN is the real challenge...  M'Benga's
     appearance would immediately have us place it after "Journey To Babel"
     (since after this episode, the doctor is transferred to the
     "Enterprise" as covered in the novels TOS #20 & #38).  Chekov is also









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 170



     manning the navigation station on the bridge, again placing it as a
     2nd season episode or later in the chronology (we know from ST II that
     he was aboard the "Enterprise" in the first season but not then as the
     ship's navigator).  One comical segment of the novel has a character
     ask Chekov what he is going to do when he meets his first Klingon.
     Chekov met a Klingon crew in "Day of the Dove" (3rd season), again
     placing the novel in the 2nd season somewhere.  One would think that
     the "new biomonitors" installed in sickbay would push the placement of
     this novel into the "5th year" but the Malurians immediate necessitate
     the placement before "The Changeling" even though Dr. M'Benga was not
     aboard then (at least not a normal member of the ship's complement).
     In "The Changeling" the entire Malurian race was "sterilized" by
     Nomad.  I very much doubt there are two Malurian races, though it is a
     possibility (in the episode, Kirk mentions that Dr. Manway was
     stationed there.  No mention of this doctor is made in the novel).  In
     any case it appears that "The Changeling" is set sometime after "Faces
     Of Fire."  We can now narrow down the placement of the novel between
     "The Changeling" and "Catspaw" (first episode of the 2nd season).
     Note that in the earliest episodes of this season Chekov was
     essentially an assistant science officer before serving at the helm
     alongside Sulu.  We move the estimated placement further down...  All
     that is left to go by now is the stardate: 3998.6.  The closest
     approximation is somewhere near "The Doomsday Machine" (stardate
     4202.9).  Fortunately not all novels are this difficult.

     More problems of this sort accumulate because some authors refuse to
     accept or view the animated episodes.  In "Dreams of the Raven," Bob
     Wesley still commands the U.S.S. "Lexington" as in "The Ultimate
     Computer."  But as we all know, he left Star Fleet to become the
     governor of the Pallas XIV system ("One of Our Planets is Missing")...
      "Yesterday's Son" makes no reference to "Yesteryear" yet clearly
     takes place afterwards as proven in the sequel "Time For Yesterday"...
      "Dreams of the Raven" gives us McCoy's current age as being
     48--clearly a "5th year" novel, but a bit off...  The novel
     "Bloodthirst": Kirk doesn't, at first, know what a vampire is.  The
     novel "Death's Angel," on the other hand, tells us he was haunted by
     vampire myths since childhood...  "Black Fire" ends with the
     "Enterprise" heading for some new repairs, Chekov promoted to Lt., and
     new ST-TMP uniforms recently issued.  Clearly the last episode in the
     bunch, but it contradicts "The Lost Years" where the ST-TMP uniforms
     again first appear...

     Many fans have criticized "Spock Must Die!" because it doesn't jibe
     very well with the later novels: it takes up 6 Months of time, gives
     us a massive Klingon-Federation War (during which Super Star Trek and
     all the related interactive computer combat grid games undoubtedly
     take place!), and ends with the Organians depriving the Klingons of
     spaceflight for 1,000 years!  Following the rules explained above for
     sorting, the Blish Era also includes "Spock, Messiah!" (though not
     technically a Blish novel) and concludes with "The Business, As Usual,
     During Altercations" (completed by Blish's wife).  A fascinating
     aspect of this is the climax of "The Business.." where the
     "Enterprise" is flung back in time (several months, minimum) before









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 171



     the Mudd dilithium crisis.  Now assuming it was over half a year, I
     speculate the "Enterprise" would have tipped the Organians off
     regarding the Klingons' development of the planetary thought-shield
     used against them in the first novel.  The Organians take appropriate
     action and no Klingon War develops.  "Spock Must Die!" "Spock,
     Messiah!" and the first half of "The Business..." all simultaneously
     slip into a true alternate timeline: no Klingon War and no penalties
     imposed by the Organians.  The "Enterprise" gains back a half years'
     time to finish her remaining year...

     Here's the outline...

     Cooper Era
     "The Lost Years" completes the 5-year mission.

     It appears that the "three D's" (Dillard, DeWeese, and Duane) are
     contributing to the tail end of the "Enterprise's" voyage, or
     approximately the last two months of the year 2264.  "Pawns And
     Symbols" and "Black Fire" probably account for the remaining mission
     since it ends in early 2265.  Keeping this in mind, most new "5th
     year" novels by new authors will logically be inserted immediately
     before the Dillard Era providing that they do not feature the later
     characters.


                                  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
     time lapses between each.  In fact, the above four films are set
     within one to two years 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" occurred
     further back than just 15 years.

     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, the uprated "movie Enterprise" 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 occurred the same year as
     "Balance of Terror": the Federation's only contact with the Romulans
     in a century's time.  According to Spock, in "Balance of Terror," no
     Human, Romulan, or ally had ever seen the face of the other.  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









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 173



     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 reacquaint
     themselves with the U.F.P.  Furthermore, the actors would be
     portraying characters much closer to their actual ages. Otherwise,
     Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley would have been portraying characters 10+
     years younger than themselves in ST V!  The Federation Reference
     Series, Ships of the Fleet, and other "Tech Fandom" works accept this
     20 year gap.  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 compared the
     service pins on Spock (..////..), McCoy (/../../), Chekov (..///..)
     and other officers.  These pins and bars probably represent
     commendations and citations earned by the officer, and not service
     length at all.  Even in ST VI, the number of pins and their
     arrangements remain identical to those in ST II.


                              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.
     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 "Cause And Effect" we were greeted to an
     ancient ship from the stated year 2278--the ST II uniforms and bridge
     design were employed, along with a modified "Avenger" class ship









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 174



     (called "Soyuz" class)--which neatly fits into the Chronology between
     ST-TMP and ST II.  "Relics" hit it right on the nose again.  The brief
     sickbay scene reveals Scotty's age as 147.  A sixth season episode,
     "Relics" is set in 2369, subtracting 147 gives 2222 as Scott's year of
     birth--the exact year in the Chronology, as supplied by the original
     U.S.S. Enterprise Officers Manual.  Furthermore, the estimated year of
     ST VI (late 2291) holds up quite well considering that Scotty was
     trapped in transporter stasis for 75 years, or since 2294.  ST VI
     could not have been in 2295 or 2298, as some fans had calculated from
     the faulty movie novelization.

     In "Sarek," Picard tells his bridge officers that Sarek is 202 years
     old.  In "Journey to Babel" Sarek stated his age as 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.  Although it's generally
     assumed that the time dilation problem's been licked in Star Trek via
     warp drive which seemingly cuts out all relativistic effects, sublight
     travel (shuttlecraft and such) should still be subject to the effects.
     Over a great period of time, this can add up.  Consider the
     possibility that a being in 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.  The
     more recent novel, "Vendetta," also explains that time dilation occurs
     in warp space, or at least at excessively high warp factors.  With all
     the time McCoy and Sarek spent in space, it would add up to a few
     years.

     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 4 centuries 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.


                                Deep Space Nine

     This TNG spinoff series runs concurrent with The Next Generation.
     Keeping the 6th season episodes of both series in their aired order
     and "splicing" them together makes an almost error-free ordering.  The









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 175



     early episode "Dax" is set stardate 46910 which would ordinarily place
     it towards the end of the season.  Not going by stardate order, I
     chose to ignore this one glitch.  However, "Dramatis Personae" (to
     46924) was aired after "The Forsaken" (46925) and I made an exception
     here.  Otherwise, stardates were used to judge exactly where the TNG
     and DSN episodes chronologically mesh--sometimes resulting in multiple
     TNG episodes or DSN episodes in a row--although, due to syndication,
     the DSN or TNG episode may have been aired a week or so out of order.


                            Popular Misconceptions

     I know that many of you, after reading the launch dates of the
     "Enterprise" and the other "Constitution" class heavy cruisers, are
     shocked by them being some 40 years before Star Trek's first year.
     One of the most damaging misconceptions introduced by the Space Flight
     Chronology book was that the "Enterprise" and her sisters had only
     been a couple decades old at the time.  FASA, of course, spread this
     around and many authors accepted it without question.  According to
     The Making of Star Trek: "The 'Enterprise' ['Constitution'] class
     starships have been in existence for about 40 years..."  Alan Dean
     Foster, in his novelization of "The Counter-Clock Incident,"
     additionally has the retiring first captain of the "Enterprise"
     (Robert April) say, repeatedly, that he first took command of her four
     decades ago.  Franz Joseph's classic Star Fleet Technical Manual gives
     a listing of all 14 original "Constitution" class ships, among them is
     the "Valiant" (NCC-1709) listed as 'lost in the line of duty.'  In "A
     Taste of Armageddon," the "Valiant" was lost on a mission to Eminiar
     VII "50 years ago," according to Spock.  A bit on the high side, but
     nevertheless lost decades back.  There was another "Valiant" lost 200
     years earlier mentioned in "Where No Man Has Gone Before," the S.S.
     "Valiant," one of the first Earth starships.  We never hear of the
     "Constitution" class "Valiant" ever again, unlike the other 13 ships
     which surface in novels and fan fiction.  "Tech fandom" took FJ's Tech
     Manual and blueprints a step further and published exact launch and
     commissioning dates for all vessels: they were launched almost exactly
     40 years before the first year of Star Trek.  All other "tech fandom"
     sources invariably agree: Ships of the Fleet, Heavy Cruiser Evolution
     Blueprints, Federation Reference Series, Starfleet Handbook and many
     more.  Those who reject this explanation that starships could remain
     in service for so many decades should take into account how these
     ships were uprated to accomodate the new technology available--as well
     as looking over "The Battle," "Peak Performance," and the novel "Eyes
     of the Beholders" which goes to show that 80-100 year old ships are
     still spaceworthy.  After 80 years, the "Excelsior" class ships also
     seem pretty active in The Next Generation.  One of the original
     "Constitution" class ships makes an appearance in the Next Generation
     novel "The Captain's Honor"--revamped and renamed, and the hull of an
     "Enterprise" (or "Tikopai") class heavy cruiser is seen among the
     wreckage in "The Best of Both Worlds Part II."  The TNG novel
     "Reunion" also features the "Constitution" class starship "Lexington"
     in chapter 2.










                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 176



     Just as Spaceflight Chronology diverged from the age of the
     "Enterprise," so it does for the age of the transporter.  SFC and FASA
     have both claimed that the transporter is a relatively recent 23rd
     Century invention--both consistently ignore the animated series, too.
     The Terra 10 Earth colony ship launched roughly two centuries before
     the 5-year mission, in "The Terratin Incident," had transporters.
     Transporter technology may have been lost or banned after the 21st
     Century, one might speculate.  While there's nothing else to either
     prove or disprove when the transporter was invented, it did play a key
     role in the episode, and if it weren't for the Terratins having
     transporters, the episode would have came to a sinister end!  The more
     recent TNG episode "Realm of Fear" gives us the date of 2209 for the
     first diagnosis of Transporter Psychosis.  This predates "The Final
     Reflection" novel set around 2230 and introduces us to the
     Federation's development of transporter technology.  Again, FASA/SFC
     is unreliable...


              The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual

     This latest source is packed with information on TNG.  While there is
     no conflict with 24th Century dates, there are some glitches in 23rd
     Century dates.  These are to be found on page 3 of the manual.  It
     begins by saying that in 2277 the "Enterprise emblem" was adopted in
     place of individual insignia for each starship... There's Hot debate
     here: Did each and every starship in Star Fleet have an individual
     uniform insignia?  FASA and the old Concordance went along with this,
     "tech fandom" did not.  Why not?  In "Court Martial" Kirk meets
     several Academy buddies on Starbase 11.  They are all wearing the
     familiar arrowhead uniform insignias.  In "The Tholian Web" if careful
     observation is made of one of the deceased officers in sickbay aboard
     the "Defiant" the same insignia can be seen on his uniform.  In "The
     Eye of the Beholder" all members of the spacecraft "Ariel" are wearing
     the arrowhead uniform insignia (despite the Concordance's and Shane
     Johnson's attempt to distort it).  The old Star Fleet Technical Manual
     describes the arrowhead as the division insignia of Star Fleet Armed
     Forces and makes no distinction between ships, likewise the Medical
     Manual, and other pre-ST-TMP "tech fandom" books and prints.  The
     original U.S.S. "Enterprise" Officers Manual and the Federation
     Reference Series describe it as a function of both placement and rank.
      Commodores wore a stylish "I"-shaped insignia ("The Doomsday
     Machine"), Fleet Commodores--those assigned to Star Fleet/Starbase
     shore facilities--wore star-shaped insignia ("Trouble With Tribbles,"
     "Court Martial" etc.), Fleet Captains wore rectangular insignia
     (Captain Tracey and the CMO in "Omega Glory"), Academy midshipmen wore
     miniature star insignia ("Shore Leave"), Monitor station (ST-TMP) and
     Earth Outpost station ("Balance of Terror") personnel wore circular
     insignias, Merchant Marines wore arrowhead insignias with two
     additional points ("Pirates of Orion"), Penal/Rehab Colony personnel
     wore the unique hand/bird insignia ("Dagger of the Mind" & "Whom Gods
     Destroy"), and Science Probe/Survey vessel personnel wore another
     circular insignia variant ("Charlie X").  FASA went along with the
     idea of individual ship insignias and cooked up the idea that the









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 177



     "Enterprise" was the only surviving "Constitution" class ship to
     return, thus Star Fleet decided to honor her by adopting her insignia
     and making it standard throughout the Fleet--in order to justify the
     changeover to standard arrowhead insignias in the films...  So how
     about this 2277 date?  It is possible that ALL insignia above were
     dropped by 2277, and this one standard insignia was adopted.  In any
     case I don't think it's a big deal and I don't know why I'm typing up
     all this and making such a fuss...

     The manual then states that the first starship "Enterprise" was
     commissioned in 2245.  As stated above, there is an abundance of
     information working against this date.  However, considering that it
     comes right after Captain April's service aboard the "Enterprise," it
     is not too far fetched to assume that the ship was REcommissioned
     following some minor refitting in this year.  Following this, three
     other dates are mentioned.  2284: the ship was reassigned to training
     duty at the Academy--this date is right on the ball, and comes
     straight out of the Federation Reference Series (TO:01:04:01:09.41).
     The remaining two dates (2285: the destruction of the "Enterprise" in
     ST III, and the commissioning of NCC-1701-A in 2286) are a couple
     years off and should be dismissed as poor research on the part of the
     writers.  Further research reveals that they got these two dates from
     Starfleet Prototype, a relatively new manual which incorporates
     elements of both the Officers Requirements Manuals and Ships Of The
     Star Fleet.  Page 8 states that heavy cruisers began to be
     decommissioned in 2285--this was misinterpreted to mean that ST III
     was set in this year.  While the ship designs in this manual are sound
     and are logical developments from Ships Of The Star Fleet and other
     "mainstream tech fandom" works, Starfleet Prototype has some
     inconsistencies: Transwarp is considered to be a success and ships are
     scheduled to be retrofitted with the new drive, certain starship
     classes consist of hundreds of ships, and the first paragraph on page
     8 says the "Constitution" class was launched in 2260.

     Sternbach and Okuda are, after all, technical designers and are not
     necessarily historians--at least not of the 23rd Century.  Their realm
     is the 24th Century...

     The TNG manual does give us some problems with starship classes.
     Beginning on page 3, it says that NCC-1701-A was a "Constitution"
     class starship (despite "tech fandom," FASA, the novels, and everyone
     else being in agreement that the movie "Enterprise" was "Enterprise"
     class and bore little similarity to her original configuration!).  I
     would guess that this was done for simplification, and to avoid
     confusing the readers.  Even more disturbing is the statement that she
     was going to be christened the "Yorktown" as opposed to "Levant" (or
     originally "Ti Ho" if you like Shane Johnson's stuff)... I suppose it
     might have been one of many projected names chosen--but then what of
     the original "Yorktown"?  The manual makes little distinction as to
     whether NCC-1701-A was in name the "Yorktown" or the actual ship
     upgraded.  I go with the former.  In any case she is now the
     "Enterprise."  Too bad the problems didn't end here.  Scotty views an
     outboard blueprint of the "Enterprise" in ST VI, titled "Constitution









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 178



     Class," the 1701-D cutaway poster doesn't acknowledge the "Enterprise"
     as anything other than an "Uprated Constitution Class" starship, and
     the new novels "Probe" and "Best Destiny" refer to 1701-A as
     "Constitution" class.  My guess is that "Constitution Class" has
     become a general classification for all original "Constitution" class
     starships, their spinoffs, and other heavy cruisers of like design.
     "Bonhomme Richard," "Achernar," Tikopai" etal would be sub-classes.
     With the influx of new hull designs in the early 2290's, this
     simplification seems sound.  Recently, Ships of the Star Fleet Volume
     2 tackled this problem, proving me right, with the "Akyazi" perimeter
     action ships: "The terms 'class,' 'sub-class,' and 'group' are used
     somewhat loosely in Star Fleet parlance.  For the purposes of this
     reference work, 'class' refers to the 'Akyazi' class as a whole, i.e.
     including the 'Arbiter' and 'Akula' designs.  'Sub-class' or 'group'
     refers to one of the three design-types individually, as in the
     'Arbiter' sub-class or 'Akula' group."

     Other instances of this oversimplification of starship classes are
     evident on page 32.  The "Reliant," "Saratoga," "Lantree," and
     "Brittain" are all lumped together as "Miranda" class starships,
     despite the first two ships having been in service over 80 years
     ago--100 years or more ago going by their initial launching and
     commissioning.  The "Reliant" was an "Avenger" class heavy frigate and
     the "Saratoga" was a "Cyane" class heavy frigate--incorporating newer
     systems and an improvement on the "Avenger" class, utilizing the same
     basic hull design.  The "Miranda" class was constructed decades later,
     again utilizing the same general form as the "Avenger" class, and
     includes the "Lantree" and "Brittain."  It may even be possible that
     the "Saratoga" was upgraded to the "Miranda" class.  Yet we're talking
     about different classes.  From the information in "Unnatural
     Selection" and "Night Terrors" the "Miranda" class has a ship's
     complement in the vicinity of 25 to 35, and is used as either a supply
     ship or as a research ship.  A far cry from the "Avenger" and "Cyane"
     classes with complements in the range of 360.


         (The Okudas) Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future

     An even newer book, one filled with few surprises but much to talk
     about, is the Star Trek Chronology book by Michael and Denise Okuda.
     Many of the alternate views and dates which it is based upon have
     already been covered in this text.  A shift of some 4+ years from the
     original series' years presented in this Okuda Chronology is due
     entirely to one of Okuda's "Basic Assumptions" in the introduction.
     It is that the classic episodes were set Precisely 300 years in the
     future from their original airdates.  Again, this was already covered.
      Problems arise when the years of the original series episodes don't
     match up with the seasons although they are appropriately arranged in
     production order (i.e. Year 1 ends with "The Conscience of the King,"
     with Year 2 starting with "The Galileo Seven" through "A Private
     Little War" and Year 3 starting from "Gamesters of Triskelion" and
     going through "Mark of Gideon").  All other timelines rank each
     seasons' episodes together, for the most part.  While the Okuda









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 179



     Chronology is keen to point out Kirk's mention of UESPA Headquarters
     in "Charlie X" it fails to note that Kirk states it's Thanksgiving on
     Earth.  If any season is to be split, it's shortly after this episode.
      Most annoying is the total absence of all 22 animated episodes which
     should logically follow immediately after the live-action series.
     There isn't even a year's gap after the series for "undocumented"
     novels and adventures covered elsewhere!  Instead, "Turnabout
     Intruder" is taken as the Last adventure of the 5-year voyage:
     "Assumes the pilot episode 'Where No Man Has Gone Before' was about a
     year into the five-year mission and that the first season was about a
     year after that episode.  Dorothy Fontana notes that if you were to
     count the animated episodes (which we did not do in this chronology),
     this could also account for the other two years of the five-year
     mission."  She's damn right.  The animateds are out: "This show,
     produced several years after the network run of the first series, is
     considered controversial in that there is significant question as to
     whether these episodes are part of the 'official' Star Trek saga..."
     Yet this didn't stop them from mentioning some material in
     "Yesteryear" (coincidentally the only animated episode written by
     Fontana) and Captain Robert April from "The Counter-Clock Incident."
     Even some of the FILMS are subjected to this: "Gene indicated that he
     considered some of the events in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and
     Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to be apocryphal...Our
     compromise was to mention Gene's discomfort with the material, leaving
     it up to the reader to judge its 'authenticity.'"  Good thing they
     didn't set G.R. up with a questionaire rating each episode on a bad
     day, otherwise the Okuda Chronology might have left out the whole 3rd
     season!  Great Bird of the Galaxy indeed... As expected, all novels
     and novelizations are thrown out as well.

     The Movie Era of the Okuda Chronology is pretty barren, as are "The
     Distant Past," "The Twentieth Century," "The Twenty-first Century,"
     "The Twenty-second Century," and "The Far Future"--but this timeline
     is working with so many restrictions, it's to be expected.  More of a
     straightforward research work than an actual Treknical reference book
     like the TNG Technical Manual.  The first Appendix covers "Undatable
     Events And Other Uncertainties" and is another sad example--because a
     large portion of the material speculated upon here is Here, found in
     the animated series, the novels, the novelizations, and the Treknical
     publications spanning two decades.  First contact with Vulcan:
     "Strangers From The Sky."  The invention of the transporter: "The
     Terratin Incident."  The Vulcan Reformation: "Spock's World" and "The
     Romulan Way" also covering the Romulan War.

     Okuda uses the First Romulan War and a statement made by Troi in "The
     Outcast" to prove that the Federation was founded in 2161.  There are
     numerous problems with this.  Fandom has always placed the U.F.P.'s
     formation closer to 2100 (right after Cochrane's last voyage) and the
     year 2127 eventually evolved.  FASA/SFC places it much earlier, 2087,
     which obviously contradicts with "Metamorphosis."  2161 was supposedly
     chosen for the U.F.P. date, if I read the book correctly, because it
     was right after the Romulan War and in "Balance of Terror" Spock
     referred to it as the "Earth-Romulan Conflict" not mentioning the









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 180



     U.F.P. (as if not founded yet).  The notes later point out, however,
     that this was entirely due to the U.F.P. and Star Fleet not having
     been established so early on in Trek's 1st season.  Throughout much of
     the first season, starbases are referred to as "Earth Bases" and the
     "Enterprise" is reporting to UESPA (United Earth Space Probe Agency, a
     division of Star Fleet later phased out according to the Officers
     Manual).  But the U.F.P.'s headquarters and Star Fleet Command are,
     after all, based on Earth.  Okuda later states that a tiny "MMCLXI"
     appearing on the Star Fleet Academy emblem in "The First Duty" is
     further proof--Roman numerals for 2061.  Okuda's going against one of
     his "Dating Conventions" in that exact relative dates would be used:
     the Romulan War was a century prior to "Balance of Terror" and
     therefore should be around 2166 by his date calculations and his
     U.F.P. founding date no earlier.  The novels (including "The Romulan
     Way" establishing the first ship to contact the Romulans was a
     Human-manned ship from Earth and the U.F.P.), and Fandom, and in
     frankly every source I know of outside of Okuda's Chronology, the
     United Federation of Planets was in existence during the First Romulan
     War.  Basing When the U.F.P. was founded around the "Earth-Romulan
     Conflict" statement is very weak.  The classic Star Fleet Technical
     Manual (which some fans regard as being more of an authentic Star
     Fleet Academy text than the TNG Technical Manual) on TO:00:01:60 shows
     the Treaty Of Peace "Between the Romulan Star Empire and the United
     Federation of Planets" mentioning the "Governor of the Federation
     Council of the United Federation of Planets."  So what of Troi's
     statement in the TNG episode?  All she mentions is the founding date
     of A federation and never explicitly claims it to be The United
     Federation of Planets.  For all we know, Deanna might have been
     referring to the Federation of Card Players (she was engaged in a card
     game at the time) or any other federation.  And what of the Academy
     logo's number?  More confusion.  We take it that Okuda assumes the
     U.F.P. and Star Fleet were created simultaneously as he appears to
     view them as being one and the same.  The Line Officers Requirements,
     Starfleet Dynamics manual, and even Star Fleet Battles claim that Star
     Fleet was put together many years later (the two former sources giving
     the year 2183) and in ST II Carol Marcus says "Star Fleet has kept the
     peace for a hundred years" (2287 - 100 = circa 2187).  The 2161 on the
     Academy logo--and we must stress Star Fleet Academy, Sol sector as
     there are no doubt other Star Fleet Academies throughout U.F.P.
     space--may have been when the building was erected, when Star Fleet
     was first drawn up on Earth or might even be a stardate.  Other fans
     theorize that the U.F.P. was established in 2127 but not founded until
     2161 because of the Romulan War and numerous Earth-bound problems.  We
     do know that the homeport of the U.S.S. "Essex" in 2167 was Starbase
     12 commanded by Admiral Narsu as established in "Power Play."  It
     seems unlikely that the U.F.P. and/or Star Fleet could establish a
     minimum of 12 command bases within 5 or 6 years.  The construction of
     starbases are authorized under the Articles of Federation.

     There are quite a few other disagreements...  I'll nitpick, starting
     with the ordering of the TNG episodes by Production Order.  As already
     discussed, Aired Order for The Next Generation episodes makes more
     sense as they are clearly intended to be seen in that order, unlike









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 181



     the thrown together aired sequence of classic episodes.  Throughout
     the Okuda Chronology in this section, they make exceptions to this
     episode and that: "Unification Part II" was filmed before Part I but
     should be swapped obviously, "Symbiosis" was produced after "Skin of
     Evil" but should be swapped because Tasha was killed in the latter
     etc.  Aired order makes more sense and recently the stardates have
     been perfectly in sync with the aired order.

     Alexander Rozhenko the Chronology states as having been conceived in
     the holodeck in "The Emissary."  If this were true, the child would be
     less than 2 years old in "Reunion" when he first appears!  It's been
     speculated that Klingon kids mature faster than Humans, but Really!
     In "The Emissary" Worf had a relationship with K'Ehleyr 6 years
     previous and this is when I believe Alexander was conceived.  She kept
     their son from Worf until "Reunion"--no wonder Worf was shouting "Why
     didn't you tell me!"  Yet in a more recent episode, Alexander gives
     the stardate of his birth which seems to prove Okuda's Chronology
     correct.  Yet this episode establishes him to be a compulsive liar and
     in a later scene Worf tells his son that he was orphaned at an even
     younger age than Alexander.  Worf was 6 years old when his parents
     were killed at the Khitomer Massacre, therefore Alexander at the time
     of this episode is over 6 years old.  What we saw on the holodeck in
     "The Emissary" was nothing more than a Klingon bonding ceremony.

     Blind assumptions is another problem... Simply because Worf is a
     Klingon apparently born within the Klingon Empire doesn't necessarily
     mean he was born on the Klingon homeworld and that homeworld isn't
     necessarily named Kronos, spelled "Qo'noS" in the Okuda Chronology.
     The same goes for Riker being born in Valdez, Alaska on Earth, Deanna
     on Betazed etc.  "Conundrum" confirms that Dr. Crusher was born on
     Earth's moon, as an example.  Greg Jein's original photos of
     never-before-seen ship models causes additional trouble.  An ancient
     Romulan warship and the "Botany Bay" departing Earth are one thing,
     but photos of a DY-750, the S.S. "Valiant" and the "Essex"--models
     invented strictly for this book--are inappropriate for a chronology
     claiming to be based entirely upon episodes and movies.  Are they
     Researching Trek history or Inventing it?

     The Okuda Chronology's "eyeballing" of certain events is rather crude.
      Due to lack of material for specific dates, a "window" in which the
     event could have occurred was created, and the specific event dropped
     within.  The given example for this is Spock's promotion to Captain.
     They say it was some time between ST-TMP (2271) and ST II (2285) so
     they arbitrarily chose 2284.  Why 2284?  Beats me.  I chose not to
     eyeball dates at all whenever possible.  In a case like this I would
     merely acknowledge the fact that Spock would later be promoted to
     Captain of the "Enterprise" in an earlier entry regarding Spock.  If
     future novels would provide more concrete information for a specific
     year I would use it.  Chekov's year of assignment to the "Reliant,"
     McCoy's medical career, Saavik's entry into the Academy etc. are all
     blind guesses.  Saavik's year of entry, for instance, is based
     strictly on Star Fleet Academy being a 4-year institution--but Merik
     was said to have dropped out of the Academy after his 5th year ("Bread









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 182



     And Circuses"), and there are text references to other Star Fleet
     officers remaining on at the Academy as instructors or for
     post-graduate work.  The Okuda Chronology also seems to assume that 17
     being the average age of Academy entry is a good start to map-out
     specific characters careers.  Saavik was certainly not in her teens in
     ST II.  The Okuda Chronology automatically assumes that episodes span
     an average of 2 weeks, so if an event is described as happening 2
     months before a given episode it's slotted in 4 episodes earlier.  I
     find this to be unacceptable since episode lengths vary.

     The spellings of planet and character names for specific TNG episodes
     I don't pretend to have memorized and the chronology was at least
     helpful in this respect.  Yet after decades it's a surprise to find
     the chronicles of the classic episodes to be full of mispelled names
     in Okuda's book.  Bjo Trimble's Concordance, James Blish's
     novelizations, and the myriad fan-produced works almost invariably
     match up letter for letter.  Yet here we find "Khan NooniEn Singh" and
     Dr. "NooniEn Soong" spelled incorrectly in every reference.  Likewise
     for the planet "SaHndara," Spock's home city "ShiRkahr," Dr.
     "SevErin," "hyronalYn," and "Rigelians" just to name a few after spot
     checking.  No big deal--until the book is used as a writer's guide by
     Trek authors...  And why's the development of the drug "hyronalyn"
     listed as being one of the six "Scientific And Exploratory Milestones"
     of Trek in Appendix A?

     Speaking of authors, Pocket Books advertises it as: "At last!  Here is
     the official illustrated timeline for Star Trek... Exhaustively
     researched by Star Trek production staff members..."  Even on the back
     cover.  While the inside Introduction ends with "We do not, however,
     want this to intimidate our writer friends or inhibit the imaginations
     of fans who may have differing interpretations of the Star Trek
     timeline.  As such, we encourage both fans and writers to take this
     material with a grain of salt and to enjoy it with the spirit
     intended, as a fun way to explore the Star Trek universe."  This alone
     should provide our more conservative Trek fans with hours of manic
     confusion...


                                 Vulcan Dates

     Some dates are not Earth Old Calendar dates, but Vulcan.  Two
     different systems are in use: Vulcan Years and Vulcan Old Date.  The
     former was used in the animated episode "Yesteryear" and is apparently
     the current system in use on Vulcan.  8877 Vulcan Years is equal to
     the Earth date 2232 A.D., the date of Spock's Kahs-wan maturity test.
     It is this dating system which is used in certain "tech fandom" books
     notably the Star Fleet Medical Reference (which happens to footnote
     that they are dates Post-Surak which does not follow certain sources).
      Vulcan Old Dates seem to be used strictly in the novels and are
     longer than 4 digits.  A Vulcan year is equivalent to 123.02 Earth
     days according to the U.S.S. "Enterprise" Officer's Manual which
     originally appeared in Geoffrey Mandel's Star Fleet Handbook.  Gene
     Roddenberry's novelization of Star Trek-The Motion Picture supports









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 183



     this in a footnote (9 Vulcan years is approx. 2.8 years)--very close.
     Spaceflight Chronology, on the other hand, states that Vulcan years
     are LONGER than Earth years...and it would seem that the authors of
     Trek fiction may be working by this.  The date 140005 is given for the
     death of Zakal in "The Lost Years" AND for the year of The 80,000
     departing Vulcan in "The Romulan Way"--yet it cannot be considering
     the later references in "Romulan Way" place the migration at at least
     100 A.D.  In any case, the V.O.D. given in "Lost Years" for the
     present day return of the "Enterprise" from her 5-year mission is
     wrong.  Romulan dates in "The Romulan Way" are expressed in A.S.
     (After Settlement) and I've steered away from trying to convert them
     over to Terran years.  The length of a Romulan year is unknown and the
     novel is confusing enough in the constant switching between Vulcan,
     Romulan, and Terran years--not to mention the subjective time
     expenditure aboard the sublight generation ships.


                                   Stardates

     Whenever possible I've added stardate references drawn from the
     episodes.  Note that when two stardates are given they do not
     represent the true "upper and lower bounds" for the episode but rather
     the first and last stardates given.

     Unaired stardates given in this version of the Chronology need some
     explanation, as I was reluctant to feature many of them in the first
     place.  Stardates for "The Cage" and most birthdates of the crew
     (excluding Kirk's stardate of birth taken from his tombstone in "Where
     No Man Has Gone Before") are from the U.S.S. "Enterprise" Officers
     Manual.  Bjo Trimble's Star Trek Concordance was the source for the
     additional stardates of "City On The Edge Of Forever," "A Piece Of The
     Action," and "Patterns Of Force."  These were never incorporated into
     the episodes, as far as I know.  The first two episodes' stardates
     were also used in the Photonovels (providing an additional closing
     stardate for "A Piece Of The Action"), and All (including the
     erroneous stardate of "Beyond The Farthest Star") were used in
     Asherman's Star Trek Compendiums--proof of plagiarism, rather than
     research, on his part.  The Photonovel of "Day Of The Dove" provided
     stardates for that episode.  The novelization of "Relics" was where
     the stardate for the U.S.S. "Jenolen's" disappearance came from.  The
     stardate for "The Next Phase" comes from Ro's death certificate
     display screen in sickbay.  Alternate stardates for the animated
     episodes from Alan Dean Foster's 10 books are provided, in brackets,
     whenever available or not matching those in the actual aired cartoons.
      They're considerably more consistent, like TNG stardates, but the 1
     stardate unit = 1 solar day rule does not hold up.  All animated
     episode stardates are therefore given and the only unknown stardates
     for the original episodes are for "Assignment: Earth," "Mirror,
     Mirror," "The Omega Glory," and "That Which Survives."

     Episodes in the original series, animated series, and novels do not
     follow sequentially.  If stardates were in order, then the animated
     episode "The Magicks of Megas Tu" (sd. 1254.4) would precede "Where No









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 184



     Man Has Gone Before" (sd. 1312.4), the first episode with Kirk in
     command.  This simply cannot be.  Even in the latter episode, on
     Kirk's tombstone, his stardate of birth reads 1277.1 (even though his
     middle initial is "R" instead of "T" on the same stone).  Other
     episodes overlap stardates.  "Miri" begins at stardate 2713.5 and goes
     through 2717.3.  "Dagger of the Mind" is from 2715.1 through 2715.2!
     In other instances, stardates jump back and forth in individual
     episodes (listen carefully to the logs in "The Enemy Within," "Spock's
     Brain," "Gamesters of Triskelion," "Mudd's Women," and many others).
     Either Kirk and Spock are very careless or else there's something to
     stardates being nonsequential.

     According to Gene Roddenberry himself, in The Making of Star Trek:
     "This time system adjusts for shifts in relative time which occur due
     to the vessel's speed and space warp ability.  It has little
     relationship to Earth's time as we know it.  One hour aboard the
     'Enterprise' at different times may equal as little as three Earth
     hours.  The star date specified in the log entry must be computed
     against the speed of the vessel, the space warp, and it's position
     within our galaxy, in order to give a meaningful reading."

     "I'm not quite sure what I meant by that explanation, but a lot of
     people have indicated it makes sense," Gene later said.  I wish it did
     make sense, it's been bugging me since the first time I watched Star
     Trek.  One theory is that the U.F.P. Treaty Zone might be divided up
     into "time zones" where stardates may increase and decrease.  This
     would explain why the date crashes down to 1254.4 in "Magicks of
     Megas-Tu" when the "Enterprise" is at the galactic center.  Why the
     dating system should be this way is beyond me.  If stardate shifting
     is indeed tied to warp travel, another theory is that Cochrane's
     Factor (see Star Trek Maps' Intro to Navigation Manual) might play a
     vital role.  Anyhow, stardates are "supposed to" progress normally
     outside of warp travel in a fixed place--at least all the research
     I've done into it says so.  Under these conditions, the numbers to the
     left of the decimal point are days and the digit to the right of the
     decimal represents the time (in tenths of a day).  So an example would
     be stardate 4213.5 being noon of one day and 4214.5 being noon of the
     next day.  For more accuracy it may be extended to two digits after
     the decimal point.  This was the case in "Requiem For Methuselah," the
     only episode from the original series to do so.  Time was of the
     essence as Kirk desperately needed Ryetalyn to combat the plague
     aboard ship, as you recall.  Note that this timekeeping system in use
     aboard ship is not necessarily in sync with the ship's own timekeeping
     system of military hours, but in the case of the episodes "Contagion"
     and "Identity Crisis" (regarding visual logs) they WERE.  If the digit
     is a true representation of the time in tenths of a solar day, then
     the following table could be used:

                                         Duty Shift Sections
                             (IF Stardates are in sync with ship's time)
      .041 =  1:00 A.M.
      .083 =  2:00 A.M.
      .1   =  2:24 A.M.









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 185

     Stardates used in The Next Generation are taken much more seriously.
     They consist of 5 digits to the left of the decimal point.  According
     to the Writer's Guide, the first digit (a 4) is used to represent The
     Next Generation, the following digit represents the season, and the
     remaining 3 digits vary.  This was done strictly for continuity, to
     keep the numbers within an acceptable range: 4xxxx.x.  A very
     reasonable range, too: stardate 7412 (STTMP) + 36500 (100 years
     converted to days) = stardate 43912, or late in the year 2366--less
     than a year off, taking Star Trek-The Motion Picture as taking place
     in mid-2267 A.D.  Too bad this doesn't work for all stardates, but the
     range is what matters.  Even with this degree of refining stardates,
     the episodes are still not in order.  Stardates jumped all over in the
     first season of The Next Generation.  The second season episodes were
     almost aired in stardate order.  By TNG's third season and onwards,
     episodes were aired in stardate order.  Taking this a step further, we
     know from "The Neutral Zone," a first season episode, that the year
     was 2364 and all stardates of this time began with 41.  Likewise,
     stardates of TNG's 2nd season began with 42, and the third season 43.
     Therefore, to calculate the year a TNG stardate falls in, take the

     first two digits of the stardate and add 2323 (fans of R.A. Wilson &
     Robert Shea's "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" should LOVE this).


                 Miscellaneous Notes And A Little Speculation

     After reading "Survivors" it's clear that there are two different New
     Paris colonies.  New Paris was first mentioned in "The Galileo Seven"
     in the original series as the destination of the "Enterprise's"
     medical supplies.  In "Survivors," New Paris is an ancient Earth
     colony settled sometime in the 21st Century--and completely out of
     contact with Earth and the U.F.P. until its rediscovery in the 24th
     Century.  Tech fandom has the original New Paris world settled in 2105
     A.D. and a major colony.  Since the TNG New Paris colony was
     apparently settled decades earlier, the later colony might have been
     named after the former world believed to be "lost."  Anyhow, it's just
     a name, and in "Legacy" New Paris was simply called Turkana IV...

     If the dating of the planet-killer by Spock in Blish's "Star Trek 3"
     novelization of "The Doomsday Machine" is accurate, then the Borg
     could very well be the oldest race in the galaxy.  The Blish dates are
     highly questionable (and wrong in many cases) but they are still dates
     and sometimes the only sources available.  If the over 3 billion years
     old figure is correct, then the Borg undoubtedly started out
     assimilating non-Humanoid races and bore little resemblance to the way
     they are known in TNG's time.  Another interesting point is the
     interior of the anti-Borg planet-killer described in "Vendetta."
     Crystalline structures that harness all matter of energy: physical,
     kinetic, electromagnetic.  In "Beyond The Farthest Star," the
     "Enterprise" encounters a gigantic alien pod ship derelict over three
     hundred million years old, once commanded by an insectoid being.  Part
     of its interior consisted of ceiling-high energy accumulator wands:
     receptors to attract and store energy much like that in the
     planet-killer.  Apparently the Borg absorbed this race also.  And
     speaking of the Borg, it's assumed that the "mites" or "super
     Klingons" mentioned in "Probe" are in fact the Borg--something which
     the author intended and all readers seem to be in agreement with.

     There are two different classes of "Galaxy" class starships.  The
     first "Galaxy" class ships were commissioned sometime near the end of
     the 5-year mission.  These are small, fast exploratory ships and the
     first manned vessels to pierce the Barrier and explore other
     galaxies--far-fetched, but I don't write this stuff!  They are
     mentioned in Vonda N. McIntyre novels and in Diane Carey's
     "Dreadnought!" novel.  The more familiar "Galaxy" class ships we are
     accustomed to were commissioned about a century later and have only
     the class name in common.

     We know from "Peak Performance" that the "Constellation" class
     cruisers are at least 80 years old.  In the novel "Time For
     Yesterday," another U.S.S. "Constellation" is destroyed.  It is not
     the same ship from "The Doomsday Machine," nor is it the frigate of
     Ships Of The Fleet.  This starship appears to be the class ship of the









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 187



     "Constellation" class of TNG, but Starfleet Prototype says that the
     "Constellation" class star cruisers were newly-proposed and still on
     the drawing boards (design tanks) in the 2290's...

     The "god" appearing in ST V may be related to the Cytherians of "The
     Nth Degree."  Both of which originate from the galactic core region
     and are advanced non-corporeal entities.  The novelization of ST V
     also leads one to believe that the Great Barrier was constructed to
     contain the creature--a Cytherian renegade sentenced to life
     imprisonment?

     The Klingon homeworld in "tech fandom" is known as Kazh, the second
     planet orbiting the binary star Klingonki Kazara.  The novels and FASA
     call it Klinzhai.  Other sources, and the oldest of novels, call it
     Klingon, Klingonii, or just Kling.  Some people have argued that just
     as our world has many names in many languages, so does the Klingon
     planet.  Others claim that Klinzhai and Kazh are two different worlds.
      I've tried to keep the name consistent with the source material.  Now
     with ST VI, the name Kronos has been offered and there is no concrete
     information to support this world as being the homeworld.  Some
     believe that Kronos was the original homeworld in ST VI and the planet
     seen in TNG is another homeworld resettled.  I've tried to keep the
     planet's name consistent with the source.

     FASA and certain novels maintain that the Klingons in the original
     series were "Human fusions."  "Tech fandom" and Roddenberry reject
     this idea, claiming that there are different racial groups of
     Klingons.  I like to think of the "Fusion" concept as an early U.F.P.
     explanation for the physical differences, no doubt originated by Dr.
     Emanuel Tagore, which was proven wrong [TOS #16].

     The U.S.S. "Lynx" timeship blueprints place the Eugenics Wars only 218
     years before the launching of this unique starship.  It is probably
     another typo.  Swapping the 8 and the 1, making 281 years, is more
     reasonable and fits the facts: the incorporation of a cloaking device
     and the modern Class 1-b hull.  This places the launch/commissioning
     around 2275 and not 2212.  The entries provided in the Chronology from
     these blueprints also assume that each mission was undertaken as
     outlined and that the "Lynx" project proceeded as planned.

     I understand that some people are confused over Federation Member
     Worlds and the number of worlds in the U.F.P.  New civilizations
     accepted into the U.F.P. receive either Full or Associated member
     status.  The large bulk of U.F.P. member (or allied) systems are
     Associated members and number in the thousands by the 2280's.  Full
     members (which number under 30 by the year 2268) are given greater
     attention in the Chronology and their admission numbers are noted.
     Full-status member worlds have higher status than Associated member
     worlds in the U.F.P. and are represented on the Federation Counsil,
     are regular contributors to the Federation Treasury etc.

     To avoid any confusion (and to toss out any ideas that I have been
     influenced by FASA in any way), I should say a thing or two about the









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 188



     "Transwarp Drive retrofit" mentioned in the very late 23rd Century.
     As early as the U.S.S. "Ingram" class blueprints, Transwarp was noted
     as being a failure.  The TNG Technical Manual adds that certain engine
     components were integrated into later (standard warp drive) propulsion
     systems.  Yet the Strategic Design Group's Starfleet Dynamics,
     NCC-1701-A Deck Plans, and especially Starfleet Prototype state that
     Transwarp had not failed and existing ships would be retrofitted with
     the new drive system.  Originally described as utilizing the wormhole
     effect (ST-TMP) to gain an extra exponent velocity increase (Wf^4) in
     the Officers Requirements and Starfleet Dynamics manuals, the much
     more recent Starfleet Prototype manual states that the Transwarp Drive
     Retrofit involved the simple matter of fine-tuning the intermix and
     the installation of energy polarizers inside of the nacelles.  This is
     a radical departure from the original Transwarp concept (by the same
     authors no less) and it is not too far fetched a notion to assume that
     post-ST III references to "Transwarp" are more in line with an
     offshoot of the original failed Transwarp drive--yet are erroneously
     called Transwarp due to the many support systems salvaged from the
     original Transwarp Drive Project.  The Prototype manual even goes on
     to describe the resulting warp field as having a dynamic rippling
     texture--not unlike the drive field produced by TNG's "Galaxy" class
     starship.  Certainly the nacelles on the "Excelsior" class ships in
     service in TNG's time are no different externally and our brief peek
     at Mr. Scott's engine room (and intermix shaft) in ST VI bears more
     than just a passing resemblance to the intermix core of the "Galaxy"
     class "Enterprise"--intermix flow and all.  Simply the improved
     energy-generation systems in use on the original "Excelsior" were
     incorporated into the next generation of warp drive with the name
     Transwarp loosely tagged on in some instances.  This explains the
     passing references to "Transwarp" in certain texts and blueprints
     (Joshua Class Command Cruiser General Plans).

     A new addition is a log of "Enterprise" Fatalities to liven things up.
      All members of the "Enterprise" complement who die in the line of
     duty are noted, whenever possible.  Not included are civilians and
     passengers not assigned to "Enterprise" duty.  By the time the classic
     5-year mission was completed, 94 crew members had met with violent
     death--according to Kirk in the ST-TMP novelization.  Time permitting,
     I will continue this with NCC-1701-D and the novels.

     Various 22nd Century spacecraft launch dates into the Ficus Sector
     come from the computer display on Picard's desk in "Up The Long
     Ladder."  Only seen briefly, and not to be taken over-seriously,
     mission commander names like Roddenberry and Snodgrass are featured
     with numerous Buckaroo Banzai references.  They don't necessarily
     conflict with anything and do appear in the episode so I included
     them.  Though one wonders why so many people were so eager to reach
     the Ficus Sector in old DY-series sublight spacecraft.  DY-500-C and
     higher are not documented anywhere.  I speculate that many of these
     old craft were refitted with warp drive (pylons and nacelles
     attached?), justifying their change in series registries.

     Certain references I've taken from "The Best of Trek" books.  This









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 189



     series of books is generally a poor source of accurate information but
     is the only source of info on such things as 'The Fall of the
     Federation': a look at Trek's distant future.

     Throughout the Chronology, I've spelled Star Fleet as two words.  Most
     early novels did as well as the classic Franz Joseph works.  It's
     still split into two words in most "tech fandom" publications today,
     although "officially" it's Starfleet as used in TNG, the films, and
     even in the original series ('For Eyes of Starfleet Command Only' from
     "The Menagerie").  "Stardate" went in reverse: starting off as two
     words in "Court Martial" and going to one word--and sporatically back
     and forth in the films!


                                 Documentation

     Everyone has requested where certain entries and dates came from, so
     I've tagged on codes in brackets.  For the original series and
     animated series episodes, I've used the call letters developed by Bjo
     Trimble for her classic Concordance.  Star Trek movies have been
     designated ST-TMP, ST II, ST III, ST IV, or ST V.  Note that these may
     also refer to information taken from the novelizations and not
     necessarily the movies themselves.  The Next Generation episodes
     presented a problem.  Rather than trying to contrive my own call
     letters for each episode, I simply used the production numbers.  TNG
     101/102 is "Encounter at Farpoint" (parts 1 & 2), TNG 103 is "The
     Naked Now" etc.  Consult Larry Nemecek's ST:TNG Companion for
     reference.  I didn't bother to use Nemecek's call letters developed
     for each TNG episode since they only run through Season 5 and would
     undoubtedly be confused with Trimble's old episode codes.

     The Pocket Books novels conveniently use numbers to identify them.
     Thus: TOS #54 is the Star Trek novel "A Flag Full of Stars" from The
     Original Series, and TNG #16 is The Next Generation novel
     "Contamination."  David Gerrold's novelization of "Encounter at
     Farpoint" is designated TNG #0.  The # sign is used to differentiate
     between TNG novels and live-action episodes.  Also, TNG episodes are 3
     digits long and TNG novels are 1 or two digits.  Assuming the Eugenics
     Wars don't disrupt Pocket Books' publishing schedule, TNG novels won't
     reach the 3-digit mark until around 2004 A.D.  With Star Trek: Deep
     Space Nine's coming are novels.  DSN #1 represents the novelization of
     the pilot episode...

     The so-called "giant novels" created a problem.  I simply listed them
     in publication order and numbered them:
     GN 1: "Enterprise: The First Adventure"
     GN 2: "Strangers From The Sky"
     GN 3: "Final Frontier"
     GN 4: "Spock's World" (First TOS hardcover novel)
     GN 5: "The Lost Years"
     GN 6: "Metamorphosis" (First TNG "giant novel")
     GN 7: "Prime Directive"
     GN 8: "Vendetta"









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 190



     GN 9: "Reunion"
     GN 10: "Probe"
     GN 11: "Imzadi"
     GN 12: "Best Destiny"
     GN 13: "The Devil's Heart"
     GN 14: "Shadows Of The Sun"

     Note that all hardcover releases inevitably become "giant novels" when
     reprinted in paperback.

     An even bigger problem were the original novels by Bantam Books.  So I
     did the same, preceding each number by ON (Old Novel):
     ON 1: "Spock Must Die!"
     ON 2: "Star Trek: The New Voyages"
     ON 3: "Spock, Messiah!"
     ON 4: "The Price of the Phoenix"
     ON 5: "Planet of Judgement"
     ON 6: "Star Trek: The New Voyages 2"
     ON 7: "Mudd's Angels"
     ON 8: "Vulcan!"
     ON 9: "The Starless World"
     ON 10: "Trek to Madworld"
     ON 11: "World Without End"
     ON 12: "The Fate of the Phoenix"
     ON 13: "Devil World"
     ON 14: "Perry's Planet"
     ON 15: "The Galactic Whirlpool"
     ON 16: "Death's Angel"

     The Alan Dean Foster "Log Series" of novelizations of the animated
     series has added much background to the Trek universe.  Any info taken
     from them is indicated by Log n, where n is from 1 to 10.  Similarly,
     the James Blish novelizations of the original series are indicated by
     ST n, where n is from 1 to 12.  The ADF "Log Series" was recently
     reprinted.  The James Blish series was also reprinted, but all
     adaptations were re-edited into a 3-volume collection, rearranged into
     production order.  These novelizations may also be found in hardcover
     format in the "Star Trek Reader" series, common in libraries.

     "Tech Fandom" posed the biggest problem, and the only solution was to
     invent call letters...

     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 are some of
     my main 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 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 first occurance of the launch
     date of the "Constitution" class heavy cruiser (c. 2217), nicely
     jibing with the material in The Making of Star Trek and Star Trek Log
     7.  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








                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 192



     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 at the very least.  It's also not to be confused with the
     ST:TNG Officers Manual or any other Officers Manuals which are common
     in Trek role-playing games.

     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 backgrounds.

     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.  Portions of these manuals were reprinted as the Starfleet
     Dynamics manual, with some updating but sadly plenty of typos still.

     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 (ST-TMP/ST II) assumption.  This
     series may have recently been reprinted as Starship Command Pack
     Supplement.

     U.S.S. "Ingram/Excelsior" Blueprints: nice prints of an upgraded
     U.S.S. "Excelsior" offshoot.  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
     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 Star 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.









                        STAR TREK CHRONOLOGY (VERSION 6)                 193




     Ships of the Star Fleet (Vol. II): like the above, but covering only
     the new "Akyazi" group of perimeter action starships.

     Starfleet Prototype: a companion manual to the Ships of the Fleet
     manuals, written by the same people behind the Officers Requirements
     Manuals but of much higher quality, almost equal to Ships of the
     Fleet.  Although a welcome followup, the manual contains several
     inconsistencies to be avoided, including the successful development of
     Transwarp drive and a brief history of the "Enterprise" class on page
     8.


     Oh, one more thing... This Star Trek Chronology is copyright 1993 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 "Captain" 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"...
