Fiction Writers RPG as a reference guide. Ever
feel like writing, but don't know where to start? we're
a small group who love writing with each other to build
an environment of our own. Kinda like a combination
of Tabletop RPG's and Choose-Your-Own-Adventures. You're
welcome to be a part of it. We're always looking for
more writers.
2100
- On Earth, the Centenary Conference looks at what the 22nd century will bring. Authorities trace the evolution of propulsion, communications, and electronics and the development of political and economic alliances. Other speakers look to the future with forecasts ranging from the prophetic to the short-sighted [Spaceflight Chronology, Worlds of the Federation]
.- This is the era of the European Hegemony: a loose political alliance on Earth and the beginnings of a world government [TNG: "Up the Long Ladder"].
- Sometime during this century, the Quadros I probe of the Gamma Quadrant will map the ternary Idran system, and run a hydrogen-alpha spectral analysis on this star located some 70,000 light years from Bajor. The wormhole from the Alpha to Gamma Quadrants discovered in the 24th Century opens near the Idran system [DS9: "Emissary Part I and II"]
. - Admiral Forrest is born [Conjecture. Assumes Admiral Forrest was 51 in ENT: "Broken Bow"]
.- The future Mrs. Rianna Mayweather, Travis' mother, is born in America on Earth [Conjecture. Assumes Rianna is 53 in ENT: "Horizon
"].2101, June
.2102
.- The last time Ambassador Suval fired a weapon prior to 2152 [ENT: "Cease Fire"]
.2103 COLONIZATION OF MARS
One
of Jean-Luc Picard's ancestors is involved in this process
[Star Trek VII: "Generations"].[ENT: "Terra Nova" establishes that Utopia Planitia already exists in 2067 when the Conestoga leaves for Terra Nova. Whether this is a continuity error, depends on the definition of the term "colonization". Maybe the Voyager reference refers to a large-scale terraforming of the planet, with mining and orbital facilities already existing]
- The very first interplanetary colonization missions had been conducted with ships using nuclear reactors, possibly beginning in the 2060's, but this would appear to be a later, more permanent and independent form of settlement at Mars [ENT: "Borderland"]
. - Mars is (re?)colonized by Humans from Earth. Most likely this is connected with Mars' independence from the British "Three World Empire" [VOY: "The 37's"].
- The self-aware AIs of Arretius begin to lobby for recognition of their sentience and rights as free-willed creatures. There is surprisingly little opposition to this among the enlightened Arretian population, and so self-aware AIs are given full citizenship, and eleven years later will be given the right to vote in referendum. In recognition of these rights, the machines will exercise their freedom to procreate and create tremendous numbers of new self-aware AIs. However, this will not significantly change the number of machines; most self-aware AIs "exist" within and between the global computer network. However, it will not be long before artificial citizens greatly outnumber the organic Arretians. The organics rarely feel threatened by this, however, for without exception every AI's motivation is the health, safety, and luxury of the living citizenry. Of course, there is wide variation in opinion, both among the machines and among the organics, as to the best expression of this motivation; even very similar AIs have different personalities and therefore different ways of fulfilling their purposes for existence [Starfleet Battles]
.- The United Martian Colonies is founded at this time. It is apparently a jurisdiction independent of any Earth government.
- At some point in the process of colonization, the Fundamental Declaration of the Martian Colonies is made, which comes to be known as an historic legal document which set a precedent in interstellar law [TOS: "Court-Martial"].
- The building of the E.C.S. Horizon is completed and the ship is put into service. Travis Mayweather's grandfather is the original captain, and the job eventually passes to his son, and then to Travis' brother. During his time as Captain, Travis' grandfather performed five different jobs on the Horizon at the same time, two of which were on the bridge [50 years before ENT: "Horizon
"]- The engine for the Horizon, a J Class freighter, was designed by Zephrem Cochrane, and the rumor was that Cochrane signed the casing of each warp reactor himself [ENT: "Horizon
"].- Kolos begins serving as an advocate in Klingon court [fifty years before ENT: "Judgment"] In his early years as an advocate, Kolos won some 200 cases, before the warrior class began to take over the justice system.
- Sometime during 2103, a Vulcan science vessel surveys the 7th planet of the Berengeria system and reports encountering winged lizards that could breathe fire. The accuracy of the report is considered questionable [more than 50 years before ENT: "Bound"].
2104
.2105
- The "S.S. Lafayette UESPA 02" starliner colonizes New Paris [TOS: "Errand of Mercy"].
- The Viktor Korporation "Yuri Gagarin" DY-732 ship, commanded by Winrich Kolbe, is launched on a colonization mission to the Ficus sector [TNG: "Up the Long Ladder"]
.- The Taurean star system is briefly explored and a spaceship is lost near there. Over the next 164 years, a ship will disappear in this region exactly every 27.346 years [TAS: "The Lorelei Signal"].
- At twenty five years of age, the precocious Emory Erickson begins work on what will become the transporter [Speculation, based on ENT: "Daedalus"].
2106
.2108
.- War breaks out between the Susuru and the Human colonists on the water world Okeanos (Eris V) [TOS 66: "From the Depths"]
.- A possible date for the death of Mestral, one of the Vulcans who was involved in first contact with the people of Earth in March 1958 [150 years after first contact, ENT: "Carbon Creek"]
2109
2110
.- Around this time, Halaylah's artist's colony on Atropos has fallen. The Devil's Heart will remain buried within her tomb until 2368 [TNG Giant Novel 13: "Devil's Heart"]
.- By this point, some 60 years after World War Three, war has been almost completely ended on the Earth and disease and crime are much diminished. The Enterprise crew is born into this almost ideal Earth and are raised to believe all things are possible.
- At twenty five years of age, the precocious Emory Erickson begins work on what will become the transporter [Speculation, based on ENT: "Daedalus"] He is a colleague of both Henry Archer and of Zephrem Cochrane [ENT: "Daedalus"].
2110, October 9
2111
2112
- The Andorians make an incursion into Vulcan space, an event which is somehow connected to the status of Raytan [ENT: "Cease Fire"].
- At the age of twenty, Dr. Phlox serves as a medic with the Denoblian infantry [Conjecture - Phlox's service with the infantry is not given a specific date - ENT: "Cease Fire"].
2112, May
- Zefram Cochrane is reported missing [TOS: "Metamorphosis", Star Trek Maps].
- Following the disappearance of Zefram Cochrane, the planet Cochrane I (Zeta Riguli VII) is settled by Humans and Alpha Centaurians. Rich in dilithium and radioactives, Cochrane I will quickly become a thriving industrial planet, hosting the central administrative center for the U.F.P.'s Department of Colonization and numerous subsidiary agencies and organizations [FASA Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
2113
- Having learned the lessons of the last World War, the first united Earth government is established. Australia is the only nation that declines membership [Spaceflight Chronology, TNG: "First Contact", Enterprise Exploration Timeline, Star Trek Star Charts. 50 years after Cochrane's first flight].
- Also around this time, the Klingon justice system begins to change as the warrior class comes to have greater influence over all aspects of Klingon life. Soon, the Klingon Empire begins to develop a much more aggressive stance and works to expand its boundaries [Conjecture based on ENT: "Judgment"].
2113, Early April
.2114
- Dr. Phlox begins working as a medical physician [40 years prior to ENT: "Damage"].
2114, April
2115
.- The "UESPS Marco Polo" encounters the Galactic Maelstrom, henceforth known as 'Polo's Bolos': twin black holes in motion [TOS Original Novel 15: "Galactic Whirlpool"].
2116
.2117
- Zephrem Cochrane, now 87 years of age and a resident of the Alpha Centauri system, soon takes off for "parts unknown." He takes a one man vessel on a trip, and is never seen from again. Rumors surround his depature, and some believe he was setting out to test a new warp capable vehicle [ENT: "Future Tense"]. Cochrane's disappearance became the most famous missing persons case in history [ENT: "Future Tense", Cochrane disappeared approximately 150 years prior to TOS: "Metamorphosis" (2267), specific date from Star Trek.com character bio - Again, the TOS writers set the date and the TNG/FASA writers moved it a few years earlier. we see from this timeline Cochrane leaving AC in 2112 and encountering the Companion, and meeting Kirk later on is this timeline. So why did they advance it a few years? Who knows?].
2118, October 9
2119
.- Charlie 'Trip' Tucker III is born in Florida in the United States on Earth (Speculation. Assumes Trip was 32 at the time of ENT: "Broken Bow"
)- Zefram Cochrane speaks at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Warp 5 Complex [ENT: "Broken Bow"- Note: This is in direct conflict with his leaving Earth in 2117, so take it as you will. Either flip this date to 2117, or bring his leaving to 2119. I myself would choose the latter - too much confusion] Henry Archer, Jonathan Archer's father, is second only to Cochrane in his importance to this program [ENT: "Singularity"]. The Warp Five program would eventually come under the jurisdiction of the new entity, Starfleet, working in conjunction with the Vulcan Advisory Council [ENT: "First Flight"].
- Zephrem Cochrane, now 87 years of age and a resident of the Alpha Centauri system, soon takes off for "parts unknown." He takes a one man vessel on a trip, and is never seen from again. Rumors surround his departure, and some believe he was setting out to test a new warp capable vehicle [ENT: "Future Tense"]. Cochrane's disappearance became the most famous missing persons case in history [ENT: "Future Tense", Cochrane disappeared approximately 150 years prior to TOS: "Metamorphosis" (2267), specific date from Enterprise exploration timeline].
- The future Major Hayes is born in the United States on Earth (ENT).
2120
.- Vulcan Ambassador Sorval is first stationed on Earth [Speculation from ENT: "Broken Bow"].
- The S.S. Enterprise, a warp 3.2 capable passenger liner of the Declaration Class sets out on its maiden voyage [Date speculation. A picture of the S.S. Enterprise appears in the Rec Deck of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek I: "The Motion Picture". Other references: "Star Trek Maps", Spaceflight Chronology, Star Trek Communicator magazine].
2121
- 11 year-old Jonathan Archer visits the Sol Museum of Aeronautical Science, and spends time with T'Rama, eventual mother to Sarek [Strange New Worlds V - "A Girl for Every Star"]
.- Travis Mayweather's father takes command of the E.C.S. Horizon at the age of 23. His wife Rianna, who comes to be both the ship's medic and Chief Engineer, supports him through this difficult time. It is unclear why he was thrust into command at such a young age - but it may have been because Travis' grandfather had passed away after captaining the ship for some 18 years. [Speculation based on ENT: "Horizon" - Travis' father was one year younger than Paul Mayweather was when he took command in 2152].
2122
- T'Pau is born on Vulcan [32 years prior to ENT: "The Forge"].
- As part of the process of working together with the planet Agoran, the Ministry of Security on Vulcan begins dispatching agents to infiltrate the criminal elements of Agoran, and in so doing put an end to corruption. In all, 109 agents would be dispatched. Ultimately, seven of these agents would become beguiled by the corruption on Agoran and refuse to return to Vulcan when the mission was over, instead opting for a life of crime as smugglers [30 years before ENT: "The Seventh" - Note: T'Pol indicates she was too young to be given this assignment at the time ("I'm not that old Captain"), which would tend to mitigate against the earlier assumption of this timeline that she was born in 2086, which would make her 36 at this time].
2123
- Trip Tucker's baby sister Elizabeth is born in Florida. She would be killed in the Xindi attack of April 2153 [Speculation from ENT: "The Expanse"].
- Trip is four years of age, which is the age that Sim, the clone of Tucker, was when he was being read to [ENT: "Similitude"].
- Amanda Cole is born in Florida on Earth [Speculation - Amanda is roughly the same age as Trip, but it is suggested she is slightly younger than him].
2123, November 27
, it is clear that the
vessel is a DY-500 class vessel, similar in appearance
to the DY-100 class [TOS: "Space
Seed"]. The craft settles colonists on Bringloid
V. It later crashes on the planet Mariposa while attempting
to settle a second group of colonists. There are only
five survivors of the crash, who attempt to keep their
colony viable using cloning technology [TNG: "Up
the Long Ladder"].- From the listing that Data peruses of ships that left Earth around this time, it is clear that space travel has become a regular occurrence[TNG: "Up the Long Ladder"]
.2124
.- The meeting of the First Federation Congress. Presumably, early drafts of the Articles of Federation would have begun at this time [TOS 25: "Dwellers in the Crucible"]
2125
- Vulcan Fleet Commander Savaj, commanding the "V'Kreeth," opens up a whole quadrant of space and single-handedly attempts to keep Vulcan from joining in forming the United Federation of Planets [TOS 5: "The Prometheus Design"].
- Y-500 Class vessels (presumably inclusive of the DY-500) are decommissioned and are no longer in service [Date is speculation. Y-500 vessels are revealed to have been out of service "for decades" in ENT: "Strange New World"].
2126
- Liana is born on the Katare home world [Trip speculates Liana may have been 4 years old when her ship crashed ENT: "Oasis"].
2127
- Age eight was also the age that Sim, the clone of Tucker, was when he was playing with the remote control shuttle [ENT: "Similitude"].
2127, May 8
2127, June 6
- Milton Kornheiser starts designing interstellar spacecraft [Spaceflight Chronology].
2128
- Travis' younger brother Paul Mayweather is born aboard the J Class freighter Horizon [Speculation based on ENT: "Horizon"].
2129 INVENTION OF THE TRANSPORTER
- At around age 10, Trip Tucker is enamored by tales of the invention of the transporter.His admiration of Emory Erickson and his work is one of the key reasons that Trip ends up becoming an engineer [Dates are speculation based on ENT: "Daedalus" - Emory Erickson would have been about 44 years old at this point]
2129, July 9
2130 Traité d'Unification is signed
- A Kantare ship, commanded by Captain Kulann, encounters a severe ion storm. Damage done during the storm results in a plasma leak, explosive decompression, and the ship ultimately crashes on a remote planet. Only the ship's Chief Engineer, Ezral, and his daughter, Liana survive the crash [22 years before ENT: "Oasis"].
- Signing of the Traité d'Unification by all governments on Earth unifying all into a global community [Star Trek: "Articles of the Federation"]
. - Baleeza Gral, the Trill Seeker's seniormost reporter by 2380, begins his journalistic career. He reported with two other hosts - Renna Gral and Tristor Gral. Renna was the first host here [Star Trek: "Articles of the Federation"]
. 2130 - 2132 Circa
2131
- At age 12, Trip Tucker goes to his first dance at Bayshore Elementary in Panama City, Florida. Ever after, he regrets not asking a certain girl to dance ["more than 20 years" before ENT: "Fusion"].
- T'Pol enters her training program with the Ministry of Security on Vulcan [Speculation. Assumes a four year program, similar to a degree in Criminology].
- The tenth and last Space Ark, Terra 10, is launched complete with early transporter technology. Of all ten generation ships, only the passengers of this last ship will survive. Shortly after this, the Interstat code that they made use of becomes outdated [TAS: "The Terratin Incident" establishes that this mission happened around 2069, approximately 200 years before the episode took place. I have moved this event to c. 2131 to be consistent with later information from ENT: "Daedalus", concerning the invention of the transporter, as well as to be consistent with the established date of the Conestoga's voyage as the first colony ship. The previous 9 Terra ships would perhaps have been launched within the previous decade or so].
2132
- Vega IX becomes the 7th extraterrstial U.E.N. colony-member [Star Trek Maps, Starfleet Dynamics]
.- Archer takes a trip to East Africa, and at one point observes the birth of a baby gazelle [Age 22 - Archer said he was in his early twenties - ENT: "Shockwave - Part II"]
- Archer considers joining the merchant fleet and signing aboard a freighter, in a series of events that constitute what Archer calls a "long story" [Prior to Starfleet's formation - ENT: "Horizon"].
- The Paraagan mining colony is established [20 years prior to ENT: "Shockwave"].
- A second spaceship disappears in the Taurean region of space, never to be heard from again [TAS: "The Lorelei Signal"].
- About this time, Trip Tucker begins attending High School in Florida. His high school is a rival with the high school that Amanda Cole is attending at about the same time, and the two visit the same movie theater during this time in their lives, unaware of the other [ENT: "Harbinger"].
2133
- A Klingon ship emerges from the Delphic Expanse. The crew had been anatomically inverted and was still alive. Memory of this event prevents Klingons from daring to enter this region of space [20 years before ENT: "The Expanse"].
2134 STARFLEET IS FORMED
-
p.690] Part
of Starfleet's original charter was the little known Section
31, which allowed for extraordinary measures in the event
of a threat on Earth [ENT: "Divergence"].
The
inclusion of this authority soon results in the creation
of a secretive, black ops division of Starfleet that eventually
comes to be known simply as "Section 31." Section 31 emerges
as an autonomous group concerned with searching out, identifying,
and quietly dealing with potential dangers to the Earth.
Members of this organization defy the principles of the
Earth (and later the Federation) in order to protect them,
which is one of the reasons why Section 31 is not officially
sanctioned by Starfleet and its very existence is not acknowledged
openly [DS9: "Inquisition", DS9: "Inter
Arma Enim Silent Leges"].- The S.S. Bonaventure, galactic survey cruiser is launched. The Bonaventure will mysteriously disappear on her third voyage, and her hulk will be found in 2269 in the alternate universe of Elysia [TAS: "The Time Trap", date is conjecture. In the episode Scotty said "Captain, there's the old Bonaventure. She was the first ship to have warp drive installed." However, given the ship's markings, I prefer to think Scotty was referring to the first Starfleet ship to have warp drive installed].
- Vulcan finally forms an alliance with the planet Agoran. The agents assigned to infiltrate the corrupt elements of Agoran society are recalled. All but seven return [Speculation of date, based on ENT: "The Seventh"].
- As part of Starfleet's operations, orbital platforms such as Yosemite are built [ENT: "Zero Hour"].
- Arik Soong takes a series of genetically engineered embryos from Cold Station 12. He takes the embryos to a planet into the Trialis system to raise them. This planet is located between the Orion Syndicate and the Klingon Empire [20 years before ENT: "Borderland"].
2135
"Preconceptions"].- After graduating from her training with the Ministry of Security on Vulcan, T'Pol is given an assignment to track down and apprehend seven former Vulcan agents who have become corrupted during their assignment on Agoran. T'Pol is extremely successful, and apprehends five of the agents, returning them to Vulcan for rehabilitation. However, T'Pol suffers a severe setback while in the tropics of Risa pursuing the last two suspects, Josin and Menos, on foot. During the pursuit, Josin falls, and T'Pol sees Josin reach for what she believes is a weapon. She shoots and kills Josin with an energy weapon, and is immediately overcome by great anguish. Menos escapes. The guilt of killing Josin would force to T'Pol to leave the Ministry of Security and seek guidance at the monastery on P'Jem [17 years prior to ENT: "The Seventh"].
- In grade 10, Charlie "Trip" Tucker encounters his first Vulcan - Mr. Velik. Velik was sent to Earth as part of a cultural exchange, and serves as a teacher in Trip's Florida high school. One notable quote that Trip remembers from Mr. Velik is "challenge your preconceptions, or they will challenge you" ["Strange New World" - date is speculation based on Trip's approximate age].
- At the age of 16, Trip gets his driver's license, and not soon after gets his first car. One of his favorite pastimes is to take his car and drive to Chatkin Point at night with his girlfriend, where they would watch the moon [ENT: "Precious Cargo"] Note, Trip's car is probably a hover car, and not an automobile.
2136
- Captain Vannick begins serving in the Vulcan Space Fleet aboard the Ti'Mur [15 years before ENT: "Breaking the Ice", TNG: "A Time to Sow"].
- Trip is seventeen years of age, which is the age that Sim, the clone of Tucker, was when he first asked T'Pol to dinner [ENT: "Similitude"].
2137
- The U.E.N.S.S. "Balboa" enters a Romulan claimed system on a peace-exploration mission. A squadron of fifty Rihannsu ships destroy the "Balboa" with massed particle beams. The Romulans then use high-powered lasers to decompress the crew compartments of the U.E.S.P.A.S.S."Stone Mountain," and after studying the ship, gain warp drive technology. No trace or record of the fate of either ship is ever found until the 24th century, when Rihnassu archives are examined by Starfleet historians [TOS 35: "The Romulan Way" - Rihannsu #2, Starfleet Battles]
.- T'Pol begins her work with the Vulcan Science Directorate [Speculation based upon ENT: "The Seventh"].
2138
- Jonathan Archer begins training in a four year program (is he in Starfleet, or perhaps the Air Force?) that will result in his graduating from flight school in 2142 [Speculation from ENT: "Twilight" - tradition of four year program mentioned in other Star Trek].
2139
- The last time the leader of the Denoblian geological survey had seen samples as good as the ones he found on Zantous in 2153 14 years prior to ENT: "The Breach"].
- At around the age of 20, Charlie "Trip" Tucker joins Starfleet and moves to San Francisco. He lives in Sausalito, a suburb of San Francisco, a few blocks away from the Vulcan Compound [12 years before ENT: "Unexpected"].
- During a experiment involving a new technology, the quantum transporter, Emory Erickson's son Quinn volunteers to test the device. Emory had invented the transporter some years earlier, and while still at a relatively young age (possibly 54) wanted to top his earlier achievement. This zeal prevented him from considering the risks properly, and Quinn's signal was lost. Quinn would continue in this non-existence, and Emory would work to try and save Quinn until the events of ENT: "Daedalus" fifteen years later.
- One of the probes launched by the Dokaalan pleading for help encounters an ion storm [TNG: "A Time to Sow"].
2140
- Plans are made for a Earth Sphere-wide news-gathering and reporting agency. As a result, the Solarian News Agency merges with other planetary services, creating the United Federation of Planets Infonet [FASA Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition]
- Somewhere in here it is likely that Henry Archer, Jonathan Archer's father passed away. Archer comments in ENT: "Broken Bow" 1that he wished his Dad had lived to see the advent of the Enterprise embarking on its mission. Prior to his death, Henry Archer had designed the engine for the NX program - which was put together by Starfleet to try and break the Warp 2 barrier [Date is speculation based on ENT: "Broken Bow" and ENT: "First Flight"].
- Malcolm Reed joins Starfleet [Speculation. assumes Malcolm joined at age 18].
- The Great Plume of Agosoria erupts. The Plume is a protostar which gives out a neutron blast every 11 years [ENT: "Cold Front"].
- Rough time period of Travis Mayweather's Boomer ghost story in "Strange New World" [Speculation - ten years prior to episode].
- Sh'Laran is born on Andor. He will later become a Science Officer on the USS Galaxy.
2141
- All Earth ships officially switch to USS desigantion, under United Earth Space Probe Agency and United Earth Nations Spacefleet combined Operations Agreement.
- At age 18, Hoshi Sato joins Starfleet and begins training - which involves extensive linguistic studies [Speculation based on her age].
- While in Starfleet Academy, Malcolm Reed has an unfortunate gastro-intestinal episode during extra-vehicular (EV) training. The episode is noted in his medical records [Speculation of date - from ENT: "The Catwalk"].
- Around this time was when the Vulcan Kov, who had determined to explore his emotions, had a falling out with his father [Ten years before ENT: "Fusion"].
- According to his sister, Malcolm Reed spends one week living without food around this time [ENT: "Silent Enemy" - "at least" ten years prior to episode].
2142
- Starfleet conducts a series of tests on the new transporter technology [ENT: "Vanishing Point"].
- At age 24, Jonathan Archer graduates from Flight School. He proposes marriage to his classmate and girlfriend, Margaret Muller, but she turns him down saying she does not wish to become a "Starfleet widow" [ENT: "Twilight" - age given as 24].
- Archer's girlfriend Caroline moves to New Berlin on the Moon [Speculation from ENT: "First Flight"].

- At age 25, Jonathan Archer joins Starfleet.
- Airk Soong continues to teach the Augments he is raising in the Trialis System [ENT: "Cold Station 12"].
- The last time that Dr. Phlox spoke with his son, who had differed with his father on many things, including the relationship Denoblians should have with Antarans [10 years prior to ENT: "The Breach"].
2143, August
- Jonathan Archer, one of four commanders in the program who hopes to pilot the craft is disappointed when he is passed over for the job which instead goes to A.G. Robinson.
- In the test, Robinson successfully breaks the Warp 2 barrier, but the craft is lost, and Robinson barely manages to eject in time to save his life.
- The Vulcan Advisory Council is not impressed, and they demand that the program be stopped for the time being. They also call into question the engine design, an engine design dear to Commander Archer, as it is the one that his father had engineered prior to his death.
- Determined to prove the Vulcans and Starfleet wrong, Archer and Robinson team up and steal the NX-Beta test ship to try and again break the Warp 2 barrier. They succeed in their attempt, and manage to maintain a steady velocity of Warp 2.5.
- Returning to San Francisco to face punishment for stealing the second ship, Archer and Robinson manage to convince Commodore Forrest of the merits of their test, and the two are able to escape court martial and are instead grounded for three months.
- The Vulcan Advisory Council has the NX program begin a series of simulations and tests.
- It was during this time that Charlie Tucker and Jonathan Archer first met [All events taken from ENT: "First Flight"].
2143, September
2143, October
2143, November
2144
- Most Orion trade families close their operations with
the U.E.N. in the face of Klingon trade vessels returning
to the Rigel colonies. Through masterful timing of ship
arrivals, the Orions keep the Klingons and U.E.N.. unaware
of each other's presence in the OUTLANDS for many years,
despite U.E.N. displeasure at the closing of many Orion
ports [FASA
Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
- The U.S.S. "Atlas", a Federation cargo ship operating
near the frontier of Federation space, is attacked and
destroyed, though this is not known until the recovery
of its marker/recorder buoy containing a complete transcript
of the events preceding the "Atlas'" destruction.
The "Atlas" was destroyed by a Romulan patrol craft for
wandering into Romulan territory. At first the Romulans
suspect that U.E.P. incursions into their space may be
a Klingon deception. Later, the Imperial Council, remembering
the 'Klingon lesson', decides not to risk negotiation
with the U.E.P., in the hope that destruction of all
intruders will keep the U.E.P from expanding into Romulan
Space. [FASA
Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition, Spaceflight
Chronology].
- After failing to arrive as scheduled at the Sector
5D Agricultural Colony, the U.S.S "Atlas" is listed as
missing [FASA
Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
- The "Muleskinner," an ore carrier, is spacejacked by pirates.
- As a result of these disappearances, appropriations
earmarked for Star Fleet increase greatly [Spaceflight
Chronology].
- The ship Vortlis, under the command of Captain Tavin,
leaves Vulcan to begin a voyage of self discovery [Eight
years before ENT: "Fusion"].
- Malcolm Reed graduates from Starfleet. He is recruited
by Section 31 and works on a series of covet ops for
his contact, Harris, for the next 6 years [ENT: "Divergence"].
- The Cabal, an organized group of militant Suliban emerges,
and begins its series of attacks on Tandara and other
planets near to concentrations of Suliban refugees [8
years prior to ENT: "Detained"].
- Shortly after this point, the Cabal become involved in the Temporal
Cold War, receiving orders from a strange figure from the future.
- Arik Soong is captured, but the fate of the embryos
he stole from Cold Station 12 is unknown. In fact, the
embryos have developed into children, who are now 10
years of age, and living on a planet in the Trialis system [ENT: "Borderland"].
- One of the two elder insectoid Xindi that the crew of
the Enterprise discovers dead, is born during this year [10
years before ENT: "Hatchery"].
2144, August
2145
- Hoshi Sato graduates from Starfleet.
- Likely date of the trial of Arik Soong, which Trip remembers [ENT].
2145, February 21
2145, March
2145, April
- Where it took the Vulcans 100 years to break the Warp 2 barrier, the people of Earth completed the task in 82 years [ENT: "First Flight", TNG: "First Contact"]
2145, October 18
