- [?] An innocent Chameloid named Wesekl was imprisoned on Triex under assumption of being a Founder. This will lead to the Triexian representative's resignation from the Federation Council in 2380 [TNG: "Articles
of the Federation"]. - Prior to 2373 General Martok is captured by the Dominion and replaced with a shapeshifter [DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow"]. - The Maquis saw the Federation as willingly sacrificing their colonists in an effort to maintain a peace that should never have been negotiated. This point was brought home all too clearly when the Cardassians declared war on the Maquis this year. However, even with the Cardassians openly attacking colonies that were occupied by Federation citizens, the Federation refused to change their policies regarding the Maquis. While the Bajoran freedom fighters had been lauded for driving the Cardassian occupation from their homeworld, the Maquis were condemned as terrorists and treated completely without mercy. More and more officers were withdrawing from Starfleet and joining the Maquis, showing their contempt for Federation policy. Starfleet in particular saw their officers joining the Maquis as a personal betrayal. Eventually, the Maquis were declared to have forfeited their citizenship in the Federation. - Nanietta Bacco is elected governor of Cestus III. - Field testing on the prototype U.S.S. Luna was under way by 2372 in the Alpha Quadrant, and construction of the fleet was scheduled to begin the following year. Unfortunately, contact with the Dominion and the subsequent outbreak of hostilities mothballed the project indefinitely, as Starfleet redirected its shipbuilding resources to the production of vessels better suited to combat [Titan: "Taking Wing"]. - 8-Ball Hunter runs away from Vulcan for Earth. She is 14 years old. - Kylar Curran is awarded the Act of Distinction for his tenure with the Judge Advocate General's Office. He settled all intergalactic claims that had been assigned to him without ever going to court. - Karyn Dallas will win the 'Outstanding Member' Award for the Academy Debate team for the second year in a row. - Cadet Kira Murphy receives a reprimand for smuggling Romulan Ale to Earth. - Cadet Ilunya receives a reprimand for excessive absence in first year of Starfleet, and instigating a sit-in, for the right to sexual expression while in uniform. - Ensign Ethan Suder is transferred to the USS Lakota for a 2 year tour. - Lt. Jamson is promoted to Lt. Commander and transferred to the USS galaxy as Chief Operations Officer. He is later promoted to Executive Officer and Commander. - Ensign Savoie receives the Pilot's Flight Cross shortly before being removed as Squadron Leader of Nova Squadron for insubordination. - (Post-February) - Sisko and Jadzia Dax discover that Verad has assumed the identity of Trill's Symbiosis Commissioner [DS9: The Lives Of Dax - "Reflections"]. - (Post-May) - [VOY 11: "The Garden"]. - (Post-July) |

curtailed resulting in new mission objectives being established.
System changes are made on the "Khai Tam" (NCC-81000),
design changes are made in the "Targ," and the fourth and
final prototype "Relentless" (NCC-81001). The "Qapla" (KL
762) lead ship requires a refit [U.S.S. Khai Tam Technical
Orientation Manual]. - [DS9 20: "Wrath of the Prophets"] - Klingons officially ‘withdraw’ from Khitomer Accords. - Believing that the Dominion has infiltrated the Cardassian government, the Klingons launch an invasion under command of General Martok. Worf joins the Deep Space Nine crew as an advisor on Klingon relations. After Sisko intercedes to rescue the Cardassian leaders, Gowron calls off the attack but again places discommendation upon Worf's family [DS9: "Way of the Warrior, Parts I and II"]. - Sisko is rather shocked when a major Klingon fleet appear at the station and ask for shore leave. The combination of their unusually quiet state and their harassment of ships in the area leads Sisko to seek help in the form of Lt Worf, formerly of the Enterprise. Arriving on the station, Worf discovers the purpose of the Klingon mission and agonises over whether to tell Starfleet or not. - With their plan discovered the Klingons leave and begin an invasion of Cardassia in an attempt to secure a foothold near the Wormhole and a forward base against a possible invasion by The Dominion. After a conversation with Gul Dukat, who is now a leading figure in the new Cardassian civilian government, Sisko agrees to rescue the Cardassian government leaders from the invading Klingon forces. The Klingons retaliate and attack Deep Space Nine in force. - When the Voyager crew finds an ancient artifact from Earth floating in space, their discovery leads them to the adventure of a lifetime on an uncharted planet, where they find a group of humans taken from Earth in 1937. - When First Officer Chakotay borrows a Shuttlecraft to perform the Pakra, a solitary Indian ritual commemorating his father's death, he inadvertently drifts into Kazon-Ogla territory and becomes the target of a Kazon youth attempting to earn his Ogla warrior name by killing the Federation enemy. - The Doctor receives information that Voyager has suffered a massive Kazon attack and that most of the crew has abandoned ship, so he ventures from Sickbay, via remote holo-projection system, to aid those still on board. |

- Jake Sisko as an old man receives a visit from a young
woman who hopes to become a writer and he tells her the story of how his
father disappeared and of his quest to find him again. During a mission
to examine a shift in the wormhole, Captain Sisko is apparently killed by
a plasma leak from the warp core of the defiant in front of his son's eyes.
Jake takes it very badly and hangs around on the station. One night his
father appears in his room and stays for only a moment or two. No one can
find a trace of his visit and no further progress can be made; a year or
so later he reappears and stays for longer during which time he is examined
by Dax, Bashir and Worf. When he disappears again, Jake finally gets on
with his own life back on Earth. When his father reappears yet again he
starts on a search to understand where his father is and on how to bring
him back. He reveals that his is dying but that he has finally found a way
to bring his father back, but at a terrible price. - Held prisoner by a group of rebel Jem'Hadar, Bashir and O'Brien clash over Bashir's desire to help their captors escape Dominion rule. - Aggressive space-dwelling lifeforms attach themselves to the Starship, creating an electrophoretic field. The occurence increases Kes' metabolic activity and accelerates her reproductive process, causing her to prematurely enter the Elogium--the time of life when Ocampa bodies become fertile. However, the Elogium occurs only once, so if Kes is ever going to have a child, it must be immediately. - Ensign Harry Kim is confused when he awakens to find himself on Earth--in 24th century San Francisco--working as a design specialist at Starfleet Engineering and engaged to be married to Libby. When he accesses his service records, they mysteriously indicate that he was never a crew member aboard USS Voyager. - On the USS Delaware, Ensign Krieghoff is charged with disobeying orders during boarding of suspected Orion smuggler when he drew and fired his weapon, rendering two Orion crewmen unconscious. Investigation could not prove his assertion that the men had been in the act of drawing their own weapons to fire on the boarding party, and a reprimand was entered in his record. Ensign Krieghoff was transferred to the USS Durendal. He will serve there for 8 months. - The Sovereign-class Enterprise-E is launched under command of Morgan Bateson, with Montgomery Scott as Chief Engineer. They succeed in preventing the Klingon Kozara from capturing the ship and invading Cardassia. Picard, accompanied by Worf from Deep Space Nine, rescues Starfleet personnel from Cardassia, and eventually regains command of the Enterprise [TNG Novel: "Ship of the Line"]. - Following the launch of the Enterprise-E, Anne Carey again writes in her journal [Strange New Worlds III: "The Ones Left Behind" Part 2]. - [VOY 7: "Ghost of a Chance"]. - [VOY 8: "Cybersong"]. - [VOY 10: "Bless the Beasts"]. - [DS9 19: "The Tempest"]. - [VOY Novel: "Mosaic"]. - Following a particularly contentious mission in the Gamma Quadrant where they had been captured by Jem'Hadar soldiers, Bashir and O'Brien struggle to rebuild their friendship [DS9: Prophecy And Change - "Broken Oaths"]. |

- Forced to bring Dukat along on a personal mission, Kira
discovers the real reason her nemesis wants to accompany her. - Jadzia Dax must choose between her feelings and the rules of Trill society when she is reunited with the wife of one of Dax's previous hosts [Easter Egg: Another Star Trek first. A lesbian kiss. The first one to be shown on network television. Avery Broks, who directed the episode, has gone on record that the moment was never meant to be glorified nor a challenge to censorship]. - A mishap sends Quark, Rom, and Nog back in time to Earth of 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico, where military forces mistake them for alien invaders. - A spatial distortion phenomenon occurs not only in space but inside the ship as well, changing Voyager's structural layout and completely disabling it. As Voyager is compressed and twisted by this unknown anomaly, the crew must work frantically to stop it. - When Kes spends free time with a smitten Tom Paris, Neelix is overcome with jealousy and instigates a messy fight with the Lieutenant. In the aftermath, the Captain sends the sparring pair on a shuttle mission to an M-Class planet to replenish food supplies. When their craft encounters an interference pattern, they crash on the planet. Seeking cover from trigemic vapors, Paris and Neelix seal themselves inside a cave and then discover they have company there--an embryonic pod which hatches an alien baby, a repto-humanoid being. They must work together to sustain the newborn--and preserve each other's life when its angry mother approaches. |

trapped in a planet's volatile atmosphere. - Kor, a revered Klingon warrior, set out with Worf and Dax in search of a mythical, ancient artifact they believe has the power to unite the Klingon Empire. - As they ready for a first encounter with the Bothans, a strange psionic field causes the Voyager crew to succumb to a delusional state and their most deeply buried thoughts to surface. During the catatonic crew members' ordeal, characters in Janeway's holonovel program become real and her beloved Mark appears; Paris faces off with his disparaging father, the Admiral; Kim is finally reunited with his girlfriend, Libby; Tuvok talks to his Vulcan wife, T'Pel; and Torres is seduced by Chakotay. The ship is effectively disabled, and it's up to an unaffected Kes and The Doctor to block the mysterious field. - While Chakotay leads an Away Team to drill for minerals on a moon's surface, they accidently disturb a village and encounter its defensive inhabitants--a group with Indian origins. A regretful Chakotay then experiences flashbacks of himself as a defiant 15-year-old who disappoints his father by not embracing the traditions of his tribe. |

program, Bashir is all that stands between his trapped fellow officers and
certain death. - Evidence that Changelings are targeting Earth sends Sisko back to his home planet, where he and Odo must prevent - or prepare for - war with the Dominion. - Earth's power net is disabled by Admiral Leyton, who wants to establish a military government to be prepared for a Dominion attack. - The crew is hailed by Ocampa colonists on an alien space station who, at long last, lead them to the female mate of The Caretaker, a mysterious being who may have the ability to send them home. As Tuvok tutors Kes in honing her rapidly maturing mental abilities, it's concluded that her burgeoning powers have been extremely underestimated. - Kazon intruders board the U.S.S. Voyager and steal a Transporter control module. That collateral enables their leader, Culluh, to persuade rival sects to join together to conquer the Federation ship. Surprisingly, the mastermind behind the Kazon's scheme is an advisor with Cardassian, Maquis, and Starfleet tactical experience--none other than Seska, the despised traitor and former intimate of Chakotay. |

Janeway knows she must strengthen Voyager's position in the quadrant and, although it's a difficult decision and is against her beliefs and training, she agrees to take steps toward a strategic alliance with leaders of several Kazon factions. When they come together for a conference, it's eminently clear that there are no rules in this region of space. - Lieutenant Paris makes history by becoming the first person to make a transwarp flight. But, soon after his shuttle returns from Warp Ten, he undergoes startling biochemistry changes. His cell membranes begin to degrade and, despite the Doctor's best efforts, Paris dies.

- A legendary Bajoran appears mysteriously after more than
200 years and challenges Sisko's claim to be the Emissary. At first relieved,
Sisko gradually realises that the new Emissary is trying to take Bajor back
to the bad old days of caste-based discrimination, and is willing to sacrifice
Bajor's chances of joining the Federation to do so! - Worf is put on trial for destroying a Klingon freighter carrying 400 civilians. Did he give the order to open fire in a blind rage, to prove himself a truly vicious Klingon warrior? If so, the Federation will have to extradite him to the Klingon homeworld to face a full trial. - When a crew member is murdered, Tuvok's investigation leads to another crewman, Ensign Suder, who finally admits he is the perpetrator. Vulcan instincts prohibit Tuvok from determining a logical motive for committing such a crime, so he attempts to understand the violent impulses of a criminal by performing a mind-meld on Suder--with deadly results. - Voyager spots a Cardassian designed, self-guided missile carrying a warhead capable of significant destructive force. As it travels towards Rakosan, a heavily populated planet, Torres reports that she's partly responsible for its virtually unstoppable status. When she was a Maquis, she intercepted it and changed its program to assault the Cardassians, but it later went astray and now she's the only hope in stopping it. So, Torres volunteers to transport to the missile's interior and reprogram it again. But, before she can detonate the warhead, the onboard computer tries to destroy her first. - The "Voyager" frees a philosopher Q (Quin) from a cometary prison. He requests asylum aboard the starship and a hearing is agreed upon. Q (Quin) will either return to his cometary prison cell for eternity or be granted his death wish. The philosopher wins after the officers are brought witnesses (Newton, Riker, and Ginsberg), allowed to inspect the prisoner's cell, and allowed a metaphorical glimpse into the Q Continuum. The philosopher Q, now called Quin, dies aboard the "Voyager" after ingesting poison supplied by Q. |

When the crew transports the Kohl's hibernation pods on board, they find humanoids in deep stasis with supressed metabolic activity--but with active minds and complex sensory systems controlled by a computer--and that is where the nightmare begins - A bizarre occurrence causes Neelix and Tuvok, who are attempting to transport back to Voyager from an away mission, to arrive aboard ship as one. The crew is astonished when a strange but oddly familiar alien humanoid with dark speckled skin and pointy ears--which is neither Tuvok or Neelix--appears. The Doctor's bio-scanner shows that the Neelix and Tuvok's patterns have merged, causing the pair to become one entity--Tuvix--a humor-filled, logic-defying fusion of the two crewmen. |

Live fire tests of the IWS shows increased phaser and disruptor outputs and high photon torpedo yields. Software glitches cause gravity and replicator problems, however, which will be fixed by the year's end. Final hull coatings and markings are applied, and all lifeboats and embarked craft are docked. The commissioning of the "Qapla" will be delayed for almost a year due to continuing power integration and load distribution problems, and system refit delays [U.S.S. Khai Tam Technical Orientation Manual]. - [Strange New Worlds I: "Good Night, Voyager"] - [VOY 13: "Black Shore"] - [Strange New Worlds I: "Life's Lessons"] - [DS9 Young Adult 11: Day of Honor - "Honor Bound"] |

The molecule has the power to destroy space and Starfleet's highly classified operating order is to destroy the Omega whenever it is encountered.

- When Grand Nagus Zek is deposed, Quark poses as a female
to help him regain his power. - An accident turns O'Brien's eight-year-old daughter into a wild, dangerously unsocialized eighteen-year-old. - A curious holographic tableau is on display in a Kyrian Museum and the curator, Quarren, explains to visitors how the intervention of the Voyager spacecraft started an apocalyptic war on a planet inhabited by two species: the Kyrians and the Vaskans. Ethnic rivalries between the two races are still uneasy, seven hundred years after Voyager has come and gone, and some Vaskan visitors are appalled by the Kyrians reconstruction of history based on a few recovered artifacts. But more damaging information is on the way, when Quarren activates a newly discovered device containing active data. This turns out to be the holograph program for The Doctor, who soon finds himself on trial for war crimes attributed to Voyager and its crew over seven centuries ago. - With fuel dwindling to nothing, the U.S.S. Voyager lands on a "demon" planet--so-called because its environment is toxic to human life--to collect from its vast deuterium lode. Both Tom Paris and Harry Kim are suited up in protective gear and sent out to collect the precious deuterium, but return without their protective suits. Instead, it is now the U.S.S. Voyager's environment that is poisonous to them. - USS Valiant is destroyed [Strange New Worlds III: "Dorian's Diary", TNG Novel: "Battle of Betazed" - Conjecture]. |
