Star Trek Chronology Notes

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 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. The second season has been more difficult to plot than the first due entirely to fewer stardates, but using a good deal of common sense I have done a reasonable job ordering the episodes.
