Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki

A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! At present the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Discovery and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG, Star Trek: Infinite and Star Trek Online, as well as other post-57th Anniversary publications such as the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info). Also, please do not include details in the summary bar when editing pages and do not anticipate making additions relating to sources not yet in release. THANK YOU

Revision as of 00:57, 6 December 2019

This page details the dates beginning with reference stardate -1/80, until stardate -1/99.

Although the ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology authors intended for this timeline to be definitive as compared to real years, numerous details in canon contradict the timeline. The dates are presented as reference stardates (as the FASA RPG presented them) in order to help correlate them with canon dates.
