The Synthococcus immunization is developed by John Pearce [MRM].
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 pro-
phetic to the short-sighted [SFC, TWF].
This is the era of the European Hegemony: a loose political alliance
on
Earth and the beginnings of a world government [TNG 144].
The poet Radolph Na comes from this century [V #9].
Liam Dieghan is also from this era. He will be the founder of the
Neo-Transcendentalist Movement, advocating a return to a simpler
life in harmony with nature [TNG 144].
Josephina Pentangeli, a conceited opera diva, also comes from the
21st Century. The "Voyager's" holographic doctor will consult her
simulacrum on the holodeck in 2373 [V 149].

dominant music on Tyrtaeus II [TOS #83].
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 [DSN 401].
2101
The Earth-Vulcan Cultural Exchange begins. Many new treatments and
techniques in the field of medical science result. Zefram and Monica
Cochrane take part in one of the first diplomatic missions to a colony
world established by the Vulcans. Zefram Cochrane unconditionally turns
over all of his warp drive research. Even at this early date, Vulcans
are
referred to as Vulcanians and their homeworld is referred to as Vulcanis
[MRM, GN 18].
June
The S.S. "Ark" (UESPA 15) reaches Tau Ceti. Due to damage suffered
during
an ion storm, planetary surveys conducted show no planets capable of
sup-
porting Human life. The entire vessel is disassembled and survival
domes
are built on a low gravity moon in orbit around the first planet [STD2].
2102
Archaria III is settled by a Human sect of religious fundamentalists
called the Brotherhood [TNG #51].
The S.S. "Hokule'a" is launched on a deep space exploration mission
to the
Ficus sector, a DY-500-C ship commanded by Melinda Snodgrass [TNG 144].
2103
Mars is (re?)colonized by Humans from Earth. Most likely this is con-
nected with Mars' independence from the British "Three World Empire."
An acrylic image on black velvet, inspiration for the flag of the
22nd Century's Martian Colony, from this period will be auctioned
off on DS9 in 2373 by Quark [V 120, GN 25, FRS, DSN 523].
[Y -12]
The self-aware AIs 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
com-
puter network. However, it will not be long before artificial citizens
greatly outnumber the organic Arretians. The organics rarely feel threat-
ened 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 [SFB].
2104
A warp-driven Earth colony ship departs Earth. It will colonize Nova
Empyrea in the Campana Sector, a world of controlled genetics [TOS

The unmanned interplanetary cargo carriers introduced in 2076 end
their service [SFC].
2108
UESPA rescue craft arrive in the Tau Ceti system and remove the 418
survivors of the S.S. "Ark" (UESPA 15). The survival domes will remain
and in time will be visible to the future Starbase 12 [STD2].
On Omega IV it is the Year of the Red Bird (plus or minus 5 years) [OG].
War breaks out between the Susuru and the Human colonists on the water
world Okeanos (Eris V) [TOS #66].
2109
The Human settlers on Archaria III encounter Peladian settlers who
had
colonized the planet almost simulateously. After a series of small
wars,
as the two sides got to know each other, peaceful relations and
coexistance will begin. With the increasing agricultural importance
of
Archaria III their differences will largely be put aside in favor of
economic cooperation [TNG #51].

of
life focused on thought, discussion, creativity, and art [TOS #80].
2112, April
At the Lazy Eight Ranch in Micah Township on Centauri B II, Monica
Cochrane dies--assassinated by Colonel Adrik Thorsen. Thorsen then
sets off a matter-antimatter explosion at the foundation. Zefram Cochrane
decides to flee to the Stapledon Center (Wolf 359) aboard his warp
4
yacht the "Bonaventure II" [GN 18].
The service life of "Assist" class space towers comes to an end [SFC].
May
After 40 days alone in space aboard the "Bonaventure II," Cochrane
encounters the Companion, an intelligent entity composed of ionized
gas. The Companion rejuvenates 87 year old Cochrane and terraforms
Gamma Canaris N (Planetoid 527) to suit him [GN 18].
Zefram Cochrane is reported missing [Mt, STM].
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].
