1993
The eugenics "supermen" seize power across
Earth [SS].
Andrew Wiles proposes a proof of Fermat's Theorem.
Dax will develop her
own solution in some 300 years [DSN 471].
About this time, a British colonel named Green
(father of E.F. Green?)
turns traitor and helps the Khans invade Australia.
In the centuries to
come, a "Green" will become a derogatory term
for any Human who willingly
serves a non-Human conqueror [TNG #30].
1994
The United Nations Peace Forces (UNPF) is
formed on Earth. The
jurisdiction of this multi-national police
organization will later be
extended to include the supervision of national
arms and technology.
After the Clone Wars of the 2030s, it will
replace national militias
entirely [EOM].
Terra's manned missions to the moon begin again
with several nations
taking part. Cooperating as never before,
they have a goal of building a
permanent moon base by the turn of the century
[SFC].
March [reference
stardate -1/9403]
Natives of Delta Khinah ("Bravado") II become
the first Klingon servitor
race. The inhabitants of Tehalai will
be among the first dozen races
conquered by the Klingons. By the 23rd
Century, the Klingon Empire will
includes at least 12 planets with native sentient
races. All of them will
be subservient to the Klingons themselves
with almost 60% of Klingon
starship crewmen consisting of non-Klingons.
These are known as
"subject races" and are considered less politically
reliable than ethnic
Klingons. They are almost never allowed
to navigate starships or fire
their weapons. The subject races will
include the Dunkars (orange-skinned
humanoids who will hold many technical positions),
Slidarians (which
appear to be something of a cross between
an ape and a bear with a
decidedly cranky disposition--they will form
the bulk of ground combat
troops), Hiladarians (reptiloids who also
will serve in ground combat
units), Zoolies (humanoids with two pairs
of eyes to be used as scouts in
Klingon ground units), and Cromargs (dwarfs
from a radioactive planet, the
genetically-deformed descendants of a race
that destroyed itself in a nuc-
lear war: they will hold many technical positions)
[FASA, GN 13, SFB].
A ship of cryogenically frozen dead are launched
from Earth. They will be
recovered and revived in over three centuries
later. These include Ralph
Offenhouse, Claire Raymond, among others [TNG
126].
Koban's ancestors flee Earth aboard an interplanetary
vessel. A wormhole
transports them across light years into deep
space where they will event-
ually colonize Foothold (Joost-klaara) and
become enslaved by the Tseetsk
[TNG #21].
The U.S.S. "Lynx" (NCC-4600) prototype timeship
observes Earth's Eugenics
Wars on her fourth mission [LTP].
Admiral George La Forge commissions the light
cruiser U.S.S. "Detroit."
He will have a long line of descendants in
Star Fleet [ON 15].
The published research of Miguel Alcubierre
shifts the conception
of faster-than-light travel from totally impossible
to possible.
At the University of Wales, his letter 'The
warpdrive: hyper-fast
travel within general relativity' is published
[COM].
In the "Mirror" universe, the tide begins to
turn. The genetically
engineered beings, calling themselves Olympians,
have become fed up with
being looked upon as scientific curiosities.
Reveling in their apparent
superiority, they begin a unified takeover
of all the nations of Earth.
The military now finds itself at odds with
its own unique Frankenstein
monster. The Eugenics Wars begin [TBoT
#14].
1995
The Planet Age on Earth: interplanetary travel
is developed, and work
starts toward the colonization of the inner
planets, with emphasis
upon Mars and Earth's moon [LOR, SFD].
The last DY-100 series sleeper vessel is built.
The series now
consists of ten ships--only eight of these
will be officially
accounted for over the next few centuries.
The uniform insignia for
this class might be represented by the ship's
outline overlaying
the Earth and Moon in a circular patch, with
the ship's name in a lower
lip [DYC, EOM, SS].
24 April
On a demonstration run in the Black Sea, the
"Gorshkov," a U.S.S.R.
nuclear aircraft carrier, is destroyed by
an alien creature. The
entire crews' life-essences are absorbed [TNG
#1].
In the "Mirror" universe, Khan Noonian Singh,
one of the original
Olympians, successfully succeeds in seizing
power over much of the
Middle East while across the seas another
Olympian, Patrick Green,
declares himself "Colonel" Green and sovereign
ruler of the former
United States [TBoT #14].
December
In an alternate timeline, this month's issue
of 'Technology Future'
highlights Henry Starling's Hyperpro 2000
[V 150].
1996
The S.S. "Copernicus" DY-100 ("Savannah" class
variant) is the first
mass produced Terran spaceship capable of
short interplanetary travel
(Earth-moon). In an uprated mode, this
22 man 100-meter craft will be
able to take Man to Mars. Some 5 meters
short of the original "Savannah"
DY-100 series, possessing only 44% the maximum
velocity, this craft
features vertical fins on its radically different
engine section adding an
additional 3 meters to its draught, and has
25 meters less beam [SFC,
DYC].
26 January
The S.S. "Botany Bay" (DY-102) is stolen from
Mars orbit [URM].
One of Chakotay's ancestors is a school teacher
in Arizona during
this era [V 150].
01 June
T.K. Isenson publishes an article, 'Primary
space as a "solvent"; the
evidence for a nonisotropic entropy gradient'
in Volume 15 of 'Paraphys-
ical Cosmology' [TOS #13].
The Battle of the Sea of Japan is the turning
point in the Eugenics War.
Peter Linde Offenhouse, a pilot aboard the
American aircraft carrier
"Enterprise" (CVN-65) and the only son of
Ralph Offenhouse, perishes with
the vessel. However, much of Khan Singh's
military force is destroyed.
Following the battle, the Great Khanate will
splinter into a dozen fac-
tions and fight one another until their leaders
are hunted down.
Gary Seven, Roberta Lincoln, and Isis are
believed to be instrumental
in the defeat of Khan Singh's forces [TNG
#30, TOS #84].
22 September
[reference stardate -1/9609.22]
Khan Noonian Singh, absolute ruler of more
than a quarter of Earth, from
South Asia to the Middle East, escapes aboard
the S.S. "Botany Bay,"
(DY-102) sleeper vessel with a crew of 97
"supermen." Their destination
is Tau Ceti, possibly the destination of other
supermen who will be
wiped out [SS, EOM, ST 2, FASA, TNG #42].
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas
reports a rocket launched
from Khanton, the capital of Khan Noonian
Singh's collapsed empire [SFC].
The Eugenics Wars comes to an end. Dr.
Stavos Keniclius, Earth's
first cloned human, is banned from the community.
The tyrants' altered
Humans are declared wards of the United Nations
and are sent to live in
a series of camps in isolated areas.
Gene engineering of Humans is
banned, although certain groups will pass
on the forbidden knowledge.
Many of the men and women who married Khans
are hunted down and
lynched. Their children are killed just
as ruthlessly. Many
manage to flee to the Sahara Reclamation Zone,
Mars, and the Moon.
Several hundred half-Khan children are secretly
brought to Alaska.
Quite a few of these Alaskans are bound to
be William Riker's
ancestors, although this is never proven [MRM,
IV/a, TOS #66, TNG #42,
DSN 514].
The "Voyager" from 2373 returns to Earth via
Captain Braxton's time
rift. Subspace readings lead Captain
Janeway and an away team to
Captain Braxton in San Diego, now a homeless
man marooned on Earth since
1967. Henry Starling of Chronowerx attempts
to launch Braxton's
timeship. Without recalibrating the
temporal matrix it will cause
the temporal catastrophe in the 29th Century,
annihilating the Sol
system. The "Voyager" is detected over
Earth by Rain Robinson at the SETI
lab (via the starship's warp emissions) and
documented as a UFO
during a low pass to beam up Janeway and her
away team. Using the
starship's transporter beam as a downlink,
Starling downloads 20%
of the "Voyager's" databanks, including the
ship's emergency
medical hologram [V 150].
Unknown to the "Voyager's" crew, Dulmer and
Lucsly from 2373 journey to
this period and aid in the escape of the Star
Fleet officers in an
automobile [SNW II].
Janeway combats Starling's 29th Century technology.
Commander
Chakotay and Lt. Torres briefly find themselves
captive in Arizona.
The holographic doctor receives an autonomous
hologram projector.
The "Aeon" timeship is destroyed by a photon
torpedo manually
launched by Captain Janeway. The timeline
is restored and Captain
Braxton arrives from the future to transport
the "Voyager" back to
its proper time and place in the Delta Quadrant
of the 24th Century
(so as not to violate the Temporal Prime Directive).
This timeline
involving the "Voyager" and the "Aeon" in
20th Century Earth
becomes a part of an alternate timeline [V
151].
'Nightingale Woman,' a love sonnet, is written
by Phineas Tarbolde on
Canopus III. Onaya probably kills him
by tapping and stimulating
his neural energy. It will be Gary Mitchell's
opinion that 'Nightingale
Woman' is one of the most passionate love
sonnets in the past
couple of centuries, in the 23rd Century.
Onaya will go on to stimulate/
kill many other artists including Catullus,
Tavor Kell, and almost
Jake Sisko. Captain Picard will have
a leatherbound copy of the
collected poetry of Tarbolde in 2374 aboard
his new "Enterprise" [WNM,
DSN 493, TNG #47].
The Andorian Empire is formed with the first
colonization of another
world by Andorian explorers [FASA].
In the "Mirror" universe, the fighting stops
after the deaths of 37
million people, leaving the world at the "mercy"
of the Olympians.
Broken and demoralized, the rest of Humanity
becomes their slaves
and, ultimately, their playthings [TBoT #14].
