During the [[Eugenics Wars]], Serbia was one of few countries that opposed the tyrant [[Khan Noonien Singh]]. On [[1993|September 30 1993]] Khan was lured to the Ajorra caves in central India by [[Vasily Hunyadi]], force behind the Serbian government, who attempted to assassinate Khan by triggering an earthquake caused by an underwater concussive charge he placed earlier. This earthquake was in the previously-considered non-seismic region of Maharashtra. The death toll from this quake was over 10,000 and entire villages were destroyed. |

Revision as of 12:35, 29 August 2007
Serbia was a nation-state located in Europe on Earth.
History
Eugenics Wars
During the Eugenics Wars, Serbia was one of few countries that opposed the tyrant Khan Noonien Singh. On September 30 1993 Khan was lured to the Ajorra caves in central India by Vasily Hunyadi, force behind the Serbian government, who attempted to assassinate Khan by triggering an earthquake caused by an underwater concussive charge he placed earlier. This earthquake was in the previously-considered non-seismic region of Maharashtra. The death toll from this quake was over 10,000 and entire villages were destroyed.
Khan attempted to retaliate on February 7 1994. With his advance submarine SGK Kaur he entered Adriatic sea where he was intercepted by a Serbian Akula-class attack sub, which succeeded in damage Khan's "supersub" with one torpedo before it was destroyed. The damaged SGK Kaur continued on to complete its mission but was soon destroyed by a mobile mine. Only Khan managed to survive and swim to safety on the Italian shore.
On August 29, 1994 Hunyadi addressed the United Nations in defiance against the economic sanctions and the NATO peacekeeping presence to declare that Serbia had nothing to apologize for. During his speech, members of the Army of Eternal Vigilance (AEV) released sarin gas, a nerve toxin, into the council chambers, suffocating many ambassadors, tourists, and Vasily Hunyadi himself.
After death of Hunyadi, Serbia was conquered by Khan's forces who later built bases there. On January 10 1996 U.S. forces bombed Khan's "terrorist base" in Chandigarh in addition to several other Augment bases in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Sudan. Facing certain defeat at the hands of combined forces from multiple nations, the very next day Khan and 83 of his Augment followers secretly escaped Earth aboard a stolen prototype vessel of the DY-100 sleeper ship christened the SS Botany Bay.
After the departure of Khan, Serbia was liberated from the Augments. (TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2)
22nd century
Charles Tucker III, in an discussion with Malcolm Reed, mentioned that he could not remember any Europeans figuring out how to build a warp engine, "No Brits, no Italians, no Serbo-Croatians." (ENT episode: "Shuttlepod One")
- Due to the existence of Serbo-Croatians, it is possible that they come from a country such as Yugoslavia, Serbia, Croatia, or possibly even Serbo-Croatia. This, however, is not made clear.
Legacy
Locations and persons from Serbia may have been the name sakes of several starships:
- The Earth starship Sarajevo that operated during the 2150s was likely named after the city in Yugoslavia. (ENT episode: "Daedalus")
- The 24th century starship USS Sarajevo was also likely named after the city in Yugoslavia. (DS9 episode: "In Purgatory's Shadow", "In the Pale Moonlight")
- The 24th century starship USS Tesla may have been named after Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla. (TNG game: Armada II)

Background
Part of documentary Trekkies 2 took place in Serbia where crew of the movie interviewed members of the Serbian Society for Science Fiction and other star trek fans.
The name for the Template:MA links was likely based on the Illyrs, an ethnic group that inhabited what is currently known as Serbia.
The Template:MA link and Template:MA link may have been named after Zadar, a city in Yugoslavia.
