HistoryEdit

Florida is the site of Cape Canaveral, which was the site of early space exploration.

Half the population of Florida was killed by a deadly alien microbe in 1983. The microbe was inadvertently brought back from Earth orbit by the NASA space shuttle Icarus. Starfleet singled out this catastrophic event to be prevented by a time travel mission in 2279. (TOS comic: "Getting Real")

Charles Tucker III was born in Panama City, Florida, in 2117. His younger sister, Elizabeth, was also born in Florida, and lived there into adulthood. (ENT episodes: "Fusion", "The Expanse"; ENT novel: Last Full Measure)

In 2153, a Xindi weapon attacked Earth, destroying large areas of Florida. Elizabeth Tucker was a casualty of this attack, as were family members of Selma Guitierrez. (ENT novel: Last Full Measure)
