.- The colony ship Conestoga leaves for Terra Nova [ENT: "Terra Nova" - Yet another way too early launch of a ship. The Conestoga must have been a large self-sustaining ship for at least dozens of settlers, and it is questionable how this could have been achieved only four years after Cochrane's brief flight with a primitive tiny ship built with all kinds of scarce materials. It could be that the Vulcans helped launch the Conestoga, but the episode made it clear that the humans did it on their own. It is worth pointing out that sleeper ships had left earth almost a hundred years before. The Conestoga was merely the first 'publicly' funded Colonization effort, and the first to employ the new Warp Technologies. As Sleeper ships replaced chemical fuel rockets, and were themselves replaced by sublight ships, so warp speed ships allowed the Colonization of near space by Humanity]
- A sublight freighter vessel carrying large quantities of unstable nuclear waste products is launched by an unknown civilization in the Alpha Quadrant it wil wander for several hundred years [TNG: "The Final Mission"].

- The first Space Ark generation ship is built. Originally conceived as a huge interplanetary industrial spaceworks, its design flexibility was too narrow to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology of the 21st Century. Instead it was cheaply purchased by a consortium of like-minded people who refitted it as a multi-generational colony ship. Ten such ships will be built and launched although only one of which (Terra Ten) is known to have survived [Spaceflight Chronology].

- Cochrane returns to Sol system aboard the "Bonaventure" where he is honored at Christopher's Landing on Titan in orbit of Saturn. Colonel Adrik Thorsen leads a mission against the WED Research Platform in geostationary orbit around Earth, destroying the platform and his troopers with a particle cannon. Thorsen escapes with a fighter, guided via a flight plan beamed from an Optimum listening post on the moon, and heads for Titan to intercept Zefram Cochrane. The concept of a warp bomb is Thorsen's driving obsession. Micah Brack (a.k.a. Flint the Immortal) urges Cochrane to leave the solar system aboard the "Bonaventure" after a layover at Brack's manufacturing setup on asteroid RG-1522. Brack transmits all of Cochrane's design theories, blueprints, and manufacturing logs system-wide. This allows anyone with a few hundred thousand Eurodollars to retrofit existing space vessels into faster-than-light starships, ensuring Humanity's spread to the stars despite impending war approaching on Earth. The first continuum distortion propulsion (CDP) engines (only informally dubbed warp engines at this time) are developed and incorporated into existing spacecraft designs. Eventually Cochrane's team of engineers also relocate to the Alpha Centauri colonies (a 4-year CDPpowered voyage) to continue to pioneer warp physics. The S.S. "Bonaventure" mysteriously disappear on her third voyage (not known until 2264 to have vanished into the parallel universe of Elysia in the Delta Triangle region of space) [TOS Giant Novel 18: "Federation", The Next Generation Technical Manual, Star Trek Maps, TAS: "The Time Trap"].
- Rapid improvements in warp drive technology results in the advanced "Verne" class ships. These cruisers are the most popular of the early warp spaceships, used for both interplanetary and interstellar missions. The U.N.S.S. "Amity" will make the first historical Vulcan contact and carry the stranded Vulcan survivors back to their home world. These ships utilize 35:1 matter to antimatter fuel, have warp 2.7 capability, a complement of 112, and are armed with 8 forward lasers and 50 fusion torpedoes. The U.N.S.S. "Pioneer" (either a ship of this class or an offshoot similar design) will make contact with numerous species and be the prototype for UESPA starships for the next 50 years, utilizing tri-warp field generators [Spaceflight Chronology, Starfleet Tactical Database Series II]
.- The Skorr are a civilization of great warriors, vast armies, and military technology. The religious leader Alar will be the salvation and teacher of the Skorr, putting an end to their warlike ways. Upon Alar's death, the Skorr will make him immortal by recording his brain patterns in a piece of indurite sculpture: the "Soul of the Skorr" [TAS: "The Jihad"].
- The "Franklin" series warp-driven message probe becomes operational. These small, unmanned probes have rudimentary astrogational equipment, and are capable of carrying a cargo of up to 0.1 metric tons in addition to several hundred recorded messages. These probes are later refitted with modern warp drives and used for the next three decades. A total of 380 are built [FASA Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
- After three Optimum assassination attempts against him, Micah Brack (a.k.a. Flint the Immortal) intentionally disappears, leaving the bulk of his fortune to the Cochrane Foundation for the Study of Multiphysics. Rumors will place him on Mars (helping to draft the Fundamental Declaration of the Martian Colonies), on Altair IV (excavating the ruins of an alien civilization: the Krell) and on Earth (leading any one of a number of resistance cells in regions ruled by the Optimum) [TOS Giant Novel 18: "Federation", Star Trek Maps].
- Tolian Soran, an El-Aurian Listener, is born during this era if not earlier [Star Trek VII: "Generations"].
- The Mechad originate on Arretia, a world in a binary system. Arretia is a solitary world, extremely mechanized, where machines would soon control every process (Not to be confused with the planet Arret to be discovered by the "Enterprise" on stardate 4768.3 in 2264, i.e. Sargon's home world). The Arretians are a race of humanoids with a very advanced technology, and a well-developed social engineering. The petty squabbles among nations experienced by most planets early in their history are avoided almost entirely, and a global computer network permits the development of a government by referendum where every citizen could participate in nearly every decision--and in all legislative acts. Very little of the planetary resources have been expended to develop spaceflight. Instead, the Arretians concentrate their efforts on computers, automation, and artificial intelligence. By this year nearly every mundane, dangerous, and otherwise undesirable task is performed by machines, most often under the control of computers whose artificial intelligence routines are so advanced that they are fully sentient and self-aware. The self-aware artificial intelligences will increase greatly in numbers, capability, and responsibility during the next three decades. Artificial Intelligences (AIs) become so much a part of everyday life on Arretia that some become media personalities and many others are afforded honarary membership in certain technological, social, and scientific societies. Always the machines make life easier, safer, and more profitable for the Arretians [Starfleet Battles]

- Also in the Delta Quadrant at this time, Veruna IV's star is "murdered" by the Sun-Eater's halted contraction caused by the Akerians' graviton beam link siphoning off the sun's energy. This guarantees the Akerians' access to the planet Blessing located within the concavity, but at the expense of the planet Veruna IV. Telarac, first warrior of the Empirical Exploratory Unit (under Emperor Iphus) oversees the event and records it for posterity [VOY 6: "The Murdered Sun"].

- The "Wanderer," the first L5 Earth structure, departs Sol system. Essentially a sublight generation ship with fusion drive, contact will be lost and the vessel assumed to be destroyed [TOS Original Novel 15: "Galactic Whirlpool"].
2079, July 27
2080
2081
-The first joint scientific project between Terra, Alpha Centauri, and Vulcan shows tangible benefits when the first of a new series of "Milky Way" research probes are launched from these three worlds [FASA Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
- Having proved interplanetary colonization is viable, the Earth government decides "nothing succeeds like success" and plans to send another expedition to Terra Nova. The existing colonists on Terra Nova do not wish additional inhabitants, and so a dispute breaks out between the Earth and the colony [Conjecture, a few months before the asteroidal impact, ENT: "Terra Nova"].
- A rogue asteroid strikes Terra Nova. Captain Mitchell, the leader of the colony, attempts to send one last communication to Earth, accusing the Earth government of having attacked the Novans. The radioactive fallout resulting from the asteroidal impact eventually kills off all of the adult colonists, and the children are forced to fend for themselves, seeking refuge in underground caves. Only the ones five years old and younger develop an immunity to the radiation [70 years before ENT: "Terra Nova"].
2082, April
2082, June
- Colonel Steven Richey dies on Theta VIII in the alien "Hotel Royale" simulacrum, the last of the S.S. "Charybdis" crew. The Alien 'Keepers' maintain the environment they created for him [TNG: "The Royale"].
- At age 18, Malcolm Reed's Great Uncle signs up for the Royal Navy. He would joing the submarine service.
2083
- Epsilon Rays are first detected when the baffle plate
is torn off an old "Woden" class freighter during a passage
through a comet's radioactive tail [Starfleet
Medical Reference Manual].
- The first
Earth-alien starship crews reflects Terra's increasing
interaction with alien cultures, as demonstrated by the
U.N.S.S. "Pollux's" Human Captain Shu Tse Sum and Vulcan
communications officer, Supak [Spaceflight
Chronology].
- Roughly the time period when the pod was ejected from
the Y-500 class vessel in Travis Mayweather's Boomer
ghost story in ENT: "Strange
New World" [Conjecture
- 63 years before 2146].
- Kolos, the Klingon advocate, is born. He is not born
into the warrior class - his Father is a teacher and
his Mother is a biologist [Conjecture -
75 years before ENT: "Judgment"].
2084
- "Edison" class 58-man interstellar research ships (also known as the DY-1000 series) begin gathering new information on antimatter in the interstellar void. Designed as extra-solar probe ships, this class has inadequate shielding and speed to transit the oort cloud at the edge of the Sol system and therefore never leaves the solar system [Spaceflight Chronology, Starfleet Tactical Database Series II]
.2085, August
.- The "Assist" class space tower, 20-man, warp driven vessels enter service [Spaceflight Chronology].
Around 2086
- Henry Archer, the Warp Engineer who designed NX-01 Enterprise's engines and father of Jonathan Archer, is born. [Pure conjecture, based on assumption that Captain Archer was 41, and 11 during flashbacks at the the time of ENT: "Broken Bow", and his father being 24 at the time of his son's birth]
- T'Pol is born on Vulcan [Conjecture. She is noted as being the oldest member of the Enterprise crew in ENT: "Fallen Hero". This date assumes T'Pol is 65 in "Broken Bow"].
2087, March 31
- The stardate dating system is established [TOS Giant Novel 2: "Strangers from the Sky", Spaceflight Chronology, FASA Roleplaying Guide, Second Edition].
- Vega Colony is established.
2089
- Earth vessels encounter the Vegan Tyranny. The decisive actions of the S.S. "Cochrane" and S.S. "Krushchev" cruisers prevent a major interstellar war [U.S.S. Enterprise Officers Manual, Star Trek 2 - James Blish].
- The Andorians and Vulcans begin negotiations about the status of Raytan. The negotiations take eight years and an accord is finally reached in 2097 [ENT: "Cease Fire"]
. It
is logical to assume that this process began at the end
of a conflict - perhaps the second war that was fought
over Raytan between the Andorians and Vulcans.2090
- Zephrem Cochrane perfects the warp 2 engine, and construction begins on the first of the warp 2 freighters that will usher in a new era of interstellar travel and commerce [Conjecture, based on ENT: "Fortunate Son" ENT: "Horizon"].
- An engine capable of propelling vessels faster than warp 2 would prove somewhat elusive, and it would not be until the mid 2140's that a successful testing of a ship capable of Warp 3 would succeed [ENT: "First Flight"].
2091
2092
- Dr. Phlox is born on Denoblia, a crowded planet with a billion people on a single continent [Conjecture based on multiple sources].
- Also around about 2092, Malcolm Reed's parents are born in England. Malcolm's father is in the Royal Navy, as was Malcolm's Grandfather and Great Uncle [Conjecture. Assumes they were 30 when Malcolm was born].
2093
- The people of Coridan achieve warp capability.
2095
- The Earth colony ship makes planetfall on Okeanos (Eris V) [TOS 66: "From the Depths"].
- The "Franklin" class interstellar scouts are decommissioned [Spaceflight Chronology].
- On Vemla, the first androids are constructed, designed as military hardware [TNG 20: "Spartacus"]
.2097
. As
part of the treaty, the planet is anbandoned and a surveillance
satellite placed in orbit to monitor compliance with the
accord.- Romulan androids from the future assassinate Dr. Palmer, thus weakening support for space exploration and eventually preventing the formation of the U.F.P. The Earth will eventually join the Interstellar Alliance of Planets, founded by Vulcan. The Romulans refer to this timeline as "Second History." This timeline will be eliminated when Captain Spock and Ensign Kirk from Second History travel back in time to foil the assassination [TOS 24: "Killing Time"].
2098
- This is roughly the era of a galaxy-wide revolt in an unspecified galaxy. The revolt is against the Tholians, a high-temperature crystalline race of dictators who had been overlords of their galaxy for centuries. The subject races are successful, overthrowing the Tholians and forcing them out of their home galaxy. Among the subject races who rose up and overthrew them are the Seltorians, a semi-intelligent (possibly geneticallyengineered) race of beings who served as Tholian auxiliaries and lead the revolt. After the revolution is complete, the Seltorians simply replace the Tholians as masters of the galaxy-wide empire. The Seltorian Suzerainty establishes the Seltorian Tribunal, a war crimes commission charged with finding and destroying the remaining Tholians who escaped. They will track down most of the fleeing Tholians to a small satellite galaxy near their home galaxy and smash them before assembling a counterrevolutionary strike force. However, several other Tholian groups had escaped (at least toward) nearby galaxies. Some Tholians migrate towards our galaxy, bringing along their planet/provincial capital in a small Dyson sphere (by means unknown). They will arrive here around 2187. Several other groups also depart the galaxy to come to ours. One of these is based on the former 312th Battle Fleet, which gathers several other ships and Tholians during the flight. The ships of this fleet are referred to as "Neo-Tholians" or "New Tholians" even though they are considerably older than the original Tholians, and will arrive in our galaxy circa 2288. Seltorian hive ships of incredible size are assembled and sent on long voyages to many different galaxies (including Andromeda and our own Milky Way). The Seltorian commander Brzk'Girn's hive ship will reach our galaxy in 2292.
- Travis Mayweather's father is born in America on Earth [Conjecture based on ENT: "Horizon". Assumes he was quite young, only 55, at the time of his death in December 2152].
