Star Trek Chronology Notes

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. Unfortunately, her new Concordance doesn't use all of these old call letters. Star Trek movies have been designated ST-TMP, ST II, ST III, ST IV, ST V, and ST VI. Star Trek Generations is, at least tentatively, designated ST VII. Note that these may also refer to information taken from the novelizations and not necessarily the movies themselves, although the information presented in the films has priority over novelizations. 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. The complete list is presented below.

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
2007 A.D.  With Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's coming are novels.  DSN #1
represents the novelization of the DSN pilot episode and V #1 represents
the novelization of the Voyager 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" by Vonda N. McIntyre
GN 2: "Strangers From The Sky" by Margaret Wander Bonanno
GN 3: "Final Frontier" by Diane Carey
GN 4: "Spock's World" by Diane Duane (First TOS hardcover novel)
GN 5: "The Lost Years" by J.M. Dillard
GN 6: "Metamorphosis" by Jean Lorrah (First TNG "giant novel")
GN 7: "Prime Directive" by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens
GN 8: "Vendetta" by Peter David
GN 9: "Reunion" by Michael Jan Friedman
GN 10: "Probe" by Margaret Wander Bonano
GN 11: "Imzadi" by Peter David
GN 12: "Best Destiny" by Diane Carey
GN 13: "The Devil's Heart" by Carmen Carter
GN 14: "Shadows On The Sun" by Michael Jan Friedman
GN 15: "Dark Mirror" by Diane Duane
GN 16: "Sarek" by A.C. Crispin
GN 17: "Q-Squared" by Peter David
GN 18: "Federation" by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens
GN 19: "Warped" by K.W. Jeter
GN 20: "The Ashes Of Eden" by William Shatner and J.G. Reeves-Stevens
GN 21: "Crossover" by Michael Jan Friedman
GN 22: "The Return" by William Shatner and J.G. Reeves-Stevens
GN 23: "Klingon" by Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch
GN 24: "Kahless" by Michael Jan Friedman

Note that all hardcover releases inevitably become "giant novels" when
reprinted in paperback.  The only exception to this rule is the one
non-giant novel in this category: "Klingon," the novelization of a
CD ROM game.  And as in previous editions of this Chronology,
my documenting of the last few hardcover novels tends to lag behind and
will be included in the next edition.

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!" by James Blish
ON 2: "Star Trek: The New Voyages" edited by Sondra Marshak & M. Culbreath
ON 3: "Spock, Messiah!" by Theodore R. Cogswell & Charles A. Spano, Jr.
ON 4: "The Price of the Phoenix" by Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath
ON 5: "Planet of Judgement" by Joe Haldeman
ON 6: "Star Trek: The New Voyages 2" edited by S. Marshak & M. Culbreath
ON 7: "Mudd's Angels" by J.A. Lawrence (and James Blish)
ON 8: "Vulcan!" by Kathleen Sky
ON 9: "The Starless World" by Gordon Eklund
ON 10: "Trek to Madworld" by Stephen Goldin
ON 11: "World Without End" by Joe Haldeman
ON 12: "The Fate of the Phoenix" by Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath
ON 13: "Devil World" by Gordon Eklund
ON 14: "Perry's Planet" by Jack C. Haldeman II
ON 15: "The Galactic Whirlpool" by David Gerrold
ON 16: "Death's Angel" by Kathleen Sky

Here is the current list of novels and episodes with writers and pro-
duction codes (where applicable).  Novels are listed in order of release,

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, and more recently in triplets (each book containing 3 of the
"Log" books) which resulted in Star Trek Log 10 not seeing print.
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.  Also look for rereleases
of the old Bantam novels.  "Mudd's Angels" was given a new cover
and renamed "Mudd's Enterprise."

Special Notice To Collectors Of The Above: Beware Of Bogus Blueprints! I've seen with my own eyes Starlog Superstores selling cheap Xerox copies of several classic blueprints. This not only is a major ripoff to the fans but also perpetuates the 90s myth (which Paramount Pictures surely enjoys!) that Fandom blueprints are poorly produced garbage. I know that if I were a newcomer to Tech Fandom, I'd be mighty ticked off at the low- quality photocopies and would be turned off from future purchases! The Starlog's Superstores claim innocence and blame "the manufacturers"--yet They refuse to Name these "manufacturers" and Continue to sell these blue- prints at the same price as the originals!

In closing, let me add that I am NOT responsible for CREATING this Chronology. These dates are COMPILED from numerous sources, spanning over 20 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. No copyright infringement is intended. As for the Chronology itself, here are some of my main sources, an extremely short 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 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. Curiously, this nasty revision lacks all credits, not one author's name is typed. See also the 90s ripoff below: Federation Technological Survey manual...

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.

Space Flight Chronology: nicely illustrated but horribly researched, this colorful book by the Goldsteins layed down the timeline which FASA and Shane Johnson would follow. I acknowledge it here for the later Chronology files now use compatible information from these sources to fill-in the gaps in Federation history, mainly the years leading up to the 23rd Century.

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. However, the ship construction dates conflict with those in Ships of the Star Fleet and other references.

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, but I haven't been able to verify it yet.

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.

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.

Federation Technological Survey 2150 to 2370, Vol. 1: another ripoff of the U.S.S. "Enterprise" Officers Manual reformatted for the TNG era. It's a terrible mishmash of new and old tech drawings (some with disturbing new labels!) some good, some poorly thrown together. The book seriously contradicts past Treknical works at times, especially worth noting is the 7-page blood-spitting "Federation Historical Timeline" which contradicts just about Every timeline I've ever studied! Neverthe- less some chronological and Treknical material within is salvagable, though this book is by no means worth the heavy $16.95 pricetag on the cover! Like the revamped Officers Manual, this one also lacks the name of its author or authors--I wouldn't want my name on this hodgepodge mess either! This one's listed here more as a Warning to Trekkers than a true source!
