2269 to 2270
Table of Contents

Before 2269

The “Kolvoord Starburst” is banned from Starfleet Academy flying displays following a fatal training accident, over 100 years before TNG “The First Duty”.

Over 100 years before TNG “The Perfect Mate”, the last empathic metamorph before Kamala is born on Krios.

TOS “The Empath”

Wednesday 13th to Sunday 17th January, 2269: S.D. (4)51b1 to (4)51b5

Estimated duration: 5 days
Chronology: There is a log entry for the first day, S.D. 5121.5. After that, there are 74.1 hours of solar storm, extended by a further 17 hours. Based on that, I calculate that we’re into the fifth day before the ship gets back. The Vians really enjoy torturing people.
Continuity: The star Minara goes nova, sometime later.

TAS “Yesteryear”

Monday 5th April, 2269: S.D. (4)53y3; 11th T’lakht, 8903 V.E.

Estimated duration: 1 day
Chronology: There’s a stardate, S.D. 5373, with entries for 5373.4 and 5373.9. Whilst in the past, Spock gives the “subjective” stardate of S.D. 5373.5. Needless to say, it bears no resemblance to the stardate I think it would be. On the other hand, if it turned out that the “past” and “future” stardates matched exactly, I think that would be far too much of a coincidence.
Continuity: Enterprise has returned to the Guardian of Forever’s planet, first seen in TOS “City On the Edge of Forever”. Spock travels back almost exactly thirty Earth years, to February 2239. I’ve not dated any of the other animated stories by stardate unless they fall after TOS “Turnabout Intruder”. This is the exception that proves the rule.

TOS “Spectre of the Gun”

Wednesday 7th April, 2269: S.D. (4)53y5

Actual stardate: Thursday 2nd April, 2268: S.D. (4)43y5

Estimated duration: A day
Chronology: I’ve ignored the given stardate as too early, S.D. 4385.3. Events take only a few hours, overall.
Continuity: The Melkot recreate Tombstone, Arizona on Wednesday 26th October, 1881. It’s based on Captain Kirk’s imagination, rather than reality, though.

TOS “Elaan of Troyius”

Wednesday 14th to Tuesday 20th April, 2269; 46th mer’utlhIj to 1st batlh, 931 Q.B.: S.D. (4)53z2 to (4)53z8

Actual stardate: Thursday 9th to Wednesday 15th April, 2268: S.D. (4)43z2 to (4)43z8

Estimated duration: A week
Chronology: Here too, the stardate was far too early for my purposes, S.D. 4372.5, so I’ve changed it. I’ve guessed at a week, based on how long Doctor McCoy thinks Ambassador Petri will have to spend in Sickbay.

TOS “Spock’s Brain”

Sunday 2nd to Tuesday 4th May, 2269: S.D. (4)54b0 to (4)54b2

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: The initial part of the story is very closely dated to 24 hours, but Doctor McCoy’s operation must take ages. The first full day is S.D. 5431 (with entries at S.D. 5431.4 and 5431.5) and the second is S.D. 5432.3. I’ve calculated that the story begins on S.D. 5430.8, with Mister Spock being operated on in the nick of time a day later, on S.D. 5431.8. The operation must therefore take around twelve hours, by my system of stardates.

TOS “The Mark of Gideon”

Saturday 15th May, 2269: S.D. (4)54c3

Estimated duration: A day
Chronology: Everything happens in less than 24 hours, S.D. 5423, with log entries at 5423.4 and 5423.8.

TOS “For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky”

Friday 29th May, 2269: S.D. (4)54d6

Estimated duration: One day
Chronology: The stardates indicate only one day, S.D. 5476, with log entries at 5476.3 and 5476.4.
Continuity: Yonada will arrive at its destination in around 390 days. I make that Wednesday 22nd June, 2270: S.D. 6556.

TOS “Day of the Dove”

Sunday 4th to Saturday 10th July, 2269; 24th to 30th tlha’laH, 931 Q.B.: S.D. ARMAGEDDON! (or (4)56a3 to (4)56a9)

Estimated duration: A week
Chronology: The events we see take only a day or at most two, but the ship has to be repaired and the Klingons dropped off somewhere.
Continuity: The Organian Peace has been operating for three years, I make that since TOS “Errand of Mercy” in February 2267, so it’s a bit short but not absolutely wrong, since it’s definitely more than two years. Interestingly, Doctor McCoy says that incidents on the Klingon border have continued even after TOS “Errand of Mercy”.

Around Tuesday 13th July, 2269: S.D. (4)56b2

Three weeks before TOS “The Tholian Web”, Defiant goes missing.

TOS “Is There in Truth No Beauty?”

Wednesday 21st to Friday 23rd July, 2269: S.D. (4)56c0 to (4)56c2

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: All the log entries are on the first day, S.D. 5630, at 5630.7 and 5630.8. Everything could be finished the next day, but I’ve made it three days, just to be on the safe side.
Continuity: At some point before TOS “Is There in Truth No Beauty?” Mr Spock is offered the assignment of accompanying Medusan Ambassador Kollos. He refuses. Larry Marvick is one of the designers of Enterprise. Doctor Jones spent four years on Vulcan, and I’d take a guess at 2265 to 2268.

TOS “The Tholian Web”

Tuesday 3rd August, 2269: S.D. (4)56d3

Estimated duration: Six hours
Chronology: It can only be around six hours from start to finish, based on the air capacity of Kirk’s space-suit. There is a log entry, S.D. 5693.2.
Continuity: Defiant and the Tholians are seen again in ENT “In a Mirror, Darkly”. Kirk thinks that no-one ever watched his video of “what to do if I’m dead,” intended for Spock and McCoy.

Around Friday 6th August, 2269: S.D. (4)56d6

A fortnight before TOS “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”, Lokai steals a shuttlecraft from Starbase 4.

TOS “Wink of an Eye”

Tuesday 10th August, 2269: S.D. (4)57x0

Estimated duration: An afternoon
Chronology: The log entries are for S.D. 5710, at 5710.5 and 5710.9.
Comment: This is not the most highly regarded story, but it caught my attention when I realised that Deela can’t dodge a phaser beam if it’s moving at the speed of light, unless she’s going at warp speed. Logically (if that applies here) the phaser beam must move quite considerably slower than light, especially when you consider that the Scalosians’ conversation is still at the upper edge of human hearing, which makes the warp speed option even more unlikely.

TOS “That Which Survives”

Saturday 14th to Sunday 15th August, 2269: S.D. (4)57x4 to (4)57x5

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: The internal chronology of this show is a huge headache. There’s no food and water, so the landing party can’t be stranded for very long, but the ship is thrown 990.7 light-years away. For it to be obvious from the star patterns, the ship really must be thrown a long way, yet the faster warp 8.4 is, the less simple it becomes to strand Voyager on the other side of the Galaxy. There’s no easy answer, so just enjoy the show.

TOS “Whom Gods Destroy”

Wednesday 18th to Thursday 19th August, 2269: S.D. (4)57x8 to (4)57x9

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There is a log entry on the first day, S.D. 5718.3.
Continuity: There are references to Axanar, also mentioned in TOS “Court Martial”. The Axanar themselves appeared in “Star Trek: Enterprise”, most notably in ENT “Fight or Flight”. Spock and Kirk also talk about the defeat of a Romulan ship near Tau Ceti. It could be a reference to TOS “Balance of Terror”, but the details don’t really match, especially since Tau Ceti is a real star, much closer to the Sun than the Romulan Neutral Zone appears to be.

TOS “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”

Friday 20th to Saturday 21st August, 2269: S.D. (4)57y0 to (4)57y1

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are log entries for one day, S.D. 5730, 5730.2, 5730.7, then back to 5730.6! I’ve extended it because of the distances they’re supposed to have gone, and to accommodate a possibility that S.D. 5730.6 is really supposed to be 5731.6, taking it into the afternoon of Saturday, by my calculations.
Continuity: The ship’s self-destruct sequence will be reprised in “Star Trek III: The Search For Spock”.
Comment: The Coal Sack is a real astronomical object, and it’s not terribly close by.

TOS “The Lights of Zetar”

Wednesday 25th to Tuesday 31st August, 2269: S.D. (4)57y5 to (4)57z1

Estimated duration: A week
Chronology: There are log entries for the first day S.D. 5725, 5725.3 and 5725.6. Everything we see seems to happen in the first three days, but they’ll have to sort out Memory Alpha afterwards.

TOS “Plato’s Stepchildren”

Friday 3rd to Saturday 4th September, 2269: S.D. (4)57z4 to (4)57z5

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are log entries for the first day, S.D. 5784, 5784.2 and 5784.3.
Continuity: Alexander leaves on Enterprise. He’s obviously dropped off somewhere suitable soon after.

Mid-September 2269

Just before TOS “The Cloud-minders” a botanic plague breaks out on Merak II.

TOS “The Cloud-minders”

Friday 17th to Saturday 18th September, 2269: S.D. (4)58a8 to (4)58a9

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are log entries for both days, S.D. 5818.4 and S.D. 5819, for 5819.0 and 5819.3.
Continuity: I think Enterprise needs to get to Merak II in five and a half hours after the story finishes.

TOS “The Way to Eden”

Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd October, 2269: S.D. (4)58c2 to (4)58c4

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: We see the first day, S.D. 5832, 5832.3, 5832.5 and 5832.6. I’ve placed the short postscript as they arrive at the starbase a couple of days later.
Continuity: We get to meet Irina Galliulin, Chekov’s ex-girlfriend from the Academy.

Early October 2269

Just before TOS “Requiem for Methuselah” there is an outbreak of Rigellian fever on Enterprise.

TOS “Requiem for Methuselah”

Tuesday 12th to Wednesday 13th October, 2269: S.D. (4)58d3 to (4)58d4

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are log entries on the first day, S.D. 5843, 5843.7, 5843.75 and 5843.8. The main story can’t take longer than four hours, because of the epidemic on the ship.
Continuity: The claims of Flint are tackled in Flint: Immortal Genius, or Completely Barking Mad?

TOS “The Savage Curtain”

Monday 25th October, 2269: S.D. (4)59a6

Estimated duration: Less than six hours
Chronology: There are log entries for S.D. 5906, 5906.4 and 5906.5.
Continuity: Although the characters seen here are projections of Kirk and Spock’s minds, Surak will later appear in “Star Trek: Enterprise”. A very different Kahless will feature as a clone of the original in TNG “Rightful Heir” and the real Colonel Green will be seen in ENT “Demons”, although only in a recording.

TOS “All Our Yesterdays”

Monday 1st November, 2269: S.D. (4)59b3

Estimated duration: Less than 4 hours
Chronology: There are log entries for S.D. 5943, 5943.7 and 5943.9; and there are only three and a half hours left before the nova at the start of the story. The stardates do actually work.

TOS “Turnabout Intruder”

Tuesday 16th to Thursday 18th November, 2269: S.D. (4)59c8 to (4)59d0

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: There are log entries for the first, S.D. 5928.5 and third days, S.D. 5930.3.

Around Thursday 25th November, 2269: S.D. (4)59d7

Enterprise finally reaches Beta Aurigæ and a rendezvous with Potemkin. (Since it takes more than 72 hours, and they’ve gone out of their way, I’ve assumed about a week after the end of TOS “Turnabout Intruder”.)

December 2269: S.D. (4)60a3 to (4)60d3

Based on my own tampering, Keiko’s mother is born around now, in the same year as Renora, according to DS9 “Dax”. Going strictly by the (unlikely) stardate, it would be May 2270.
Comment: How exactly the Bajoran judge Renora is “the same age” as Keiko’s mum is open to question, considering Bajoran years are (at least when I’m working them out) shorter than Earth years. I’m assuming that the judge is savvy enough to convert her age to Earth years before making the claim, otherwise she’ll be younger by about eight and a half (Earth) years.

I’m speculating that this is when Enterprise goes in for a refit to get an extra door on the bridge, amongst other things. Arex and M’Ress are assigned to the ship and Chekov leaves, possibly to return to the Academy. It would also seem that Doctor McCoy is promoted to full commander. Not before time, even if it was to save on the number of animation cels needed!

“Star Trek” (The Animated Series)

Many other people, including the Okudas in the “Star Trek Chronology” omit the “cartoons” altogether. It’s a decision based on some comments made by Gene Roddenberry, and by people speaking on his behalf. For years, the series hovered in some sort of limbo. I find the idea that you can say some bits of “Star Trek” “aren’t real” extremely odd, since manifestly none of it is. They’ve been in and out of my “main” timeline several times already. They’re now back in (for the time being) because it seems really nutty to not have it in if I’m including “Star Trek: Lower Decks” and “Star Trek: Prodigy”.

TAS “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth”

Thursday 30th December, 2269 to Saturday 1st January, 2270: S.D. (4)60d2 to (4)60d4

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: The log entries are all on the second day, S.D. 6063.
Continuity: Enterprise then travels to Starbase 21. Kukulkan and Serpent's Teeth gives a bit more detail about the problems Kukulkan’s story raises for me.

2270: S.D. (4)60d4 to (4)70d8

Possibly James Kirk defies the Prime Directive once again to save the Pelosians, although this unrecorded mission might not necessarily be right at the end of the of the five-year mission; that mission definitely finishes in 2270. Both the Prime Directive violation and the date at the end of the original mission are established in VOY “Q2”.
Comment: It’s this specific deadline that creates such problems that I ended up placing “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” as late as 2281.

TAS “The Survivor”

Monday 10th to Tuesday 11th January, 2270: S.D. (4)61x3 to (4)61x4

Actual dates: Monday 25th to Saturday 30th January, 2269: S.D. (4)51c3 to (4)51c8

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: Stardates are given for S.D. 5143.3 and S.D. 5148.7. Not only are these dates too early to suit me, I also don’t think there’s a five-day gap between the two log entries.
Continuity: Enterprise pays another visit to the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Around Saturday 15th January, 2270: S.D. (4)61x8

Enterprise begins the survey that’s just finishing in TAS “The Practical Joker”. by strict stardate, it would be Monday 21st January, 2267: S.D. 3178, and overlapping the end of TOS “Return of the Archons”.

TAS “The Practical Joker”

Thursday 20th to Friday 21st January, 2270: S.D. (4)61y3 to (4)61y4

Actual dates: Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th January, 2267: S.D. (4)31c3 to (4)31c4

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There is a stardate for the first day, S.D. 3183.3. I’ve ignored it since it’s massively too early, and it clashes with TOS “Space Seed”.
Continuity: As well as another encounter with the Romulans, this story also features the first appearance of a “Star Trek” holodeck.

TAS “The Slaver Weapon”

Monday 24th to Sunday 30th January, 2270: S.D. (4)61y7 to (4)61z3

Actual dates: Saturday 25th to Friday 31st January, 2268: S.D. (4)41y7 to (4)41z3

Estimated duration: A week
Chronology: The stardate for the first day, S.D. 4187.3 is far too early to suit me.

TAS “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”

Thursday 10th February, 2270: S.D. (4)62a4

Actual date: Thursday 16th February, 2265: S.D. (4)12a4

Estimated duration: A day
Chronology: The stardate, 1254.4 is amazingly early.
Continuity: Captain Kirk and his crew will return to the centre of the Galaxy in “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier”. I haven’t even tried to guess how long it takes to get to the centre of our galaxy. It seems a surprisingly quick trip each time it’s made.

TAS “The Time Trap”

Wednesday 2nd to Sunday 6th March, 2270: S.D. (4)62c4 to (4)62c8

Actual dates: Sunday 7th to Thursday 11th March, 2269: S.D. (4)52c4 to (4)52c8

Estimated duration: 5 days
Chronology: The stardate for the first day, 52.2 seems to be a mistake. Star Trek: The Official Guide to the Animated Series points out that the full stardate was supposed to be S.D. 5264.2. That would place the second “complete” stardate on the fourth rather than the third day as I had thought when I went through the story, so something is adrift somewhere. I’ve amended the entry to the longer option, since that seems to have been what was intended. The fourth day is definitely S.D. 5267.6, and that’s a year too early for me.
Continuity: Kor makes a return appearance, after TOS “Errand of Mercy” and before DS9 “Blood Oath”.

Thursday 10th March, 2270: S.D. (4)62d2

Enterprise arrives to deliver medical supplies to the planet Dramia, just before TAS “Albatross”. The “strict” stardate would be Monday 15th March, 2269: S.D. 5272.

TAS “Albatross”

Sunday 13th to Monday 14th March, 2270: S.D. (4)62d5 to (4)62d6

Actual dates: Thursday 18th to Friday 19th March, 2269: S.D. (4)52d5 to (4)52d6

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are stardates for the first and second days, S.D. 5275 and S.D. 5276. They’re far too early.
Continuity: Doctor McCoy previously visited 19 years before. By strict stardates, that’s 2250, but I’ve moved it up to 2251.

TAS “The Ambergris Element”

Thursday 17th to Friday 25th March, 2270: S.D. (4)62d9 to (4)63x7

Actual dates: Monday 31st May to Tuesday 8th June, 2269: S.D. (4)54d9 to (4)55x7

Estimated duration: 9 days
Chronology: There are stardates for the first day, S.D. 5499.9, the sixth, S.D. 5504.2 and the eighth, S.D. 5506.2. These dates are all too early to suit me, and they also comprehensively overlap the “strict” stardates for TAS “The Eye of the Beholder”. I’ve not used them.

Late March 2270

Just before TAS “The Pirates of Orion” there’s an outbreak of choriocytosis on board.

TAS “The Pirates of Orion”

Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd April, 2270: S.D. (4)63y4 to (4)63y6

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: There are stardates for all three days. S.D. 6334.1, S.D. 6335.6 and S.D. 6336.2. Somewhat amazingly, I don’t need to ignore them!
Continuity: Direct reference is made to the Babel Conference in TOS “Journey to Babel”. An Orion featured in TOS “The Menagerie”, at least in Captain Pike’s dreams, and they appeared in ENT “Borderland” and ENT “Bound”.

TAS “More Tribbles, More Troubles”

Saturday 9th to Monday 11th April, 2270: S.D. (4)63z2 to (4)63z4

Actual dates: Wednesday 14th to Friday 16th April, 2269: S.D. (4)53z2 to (4)53z4

Estimated duration: 3 days
Chronology: There is a stardate for the first day, S.D. 5392.4. That’s too early for me. It also clashes with my placement of TOS “Elaan of Troyius” but wouldn’t if everything was placed strictly by the given stardate.
Continuity: Tribbles, Cyrano Jones and Captain Koloth all return from TOS “The Trouble With Tribbles”.

Wednesday 20th April, 2270: S.D. (4)64a3

By my adjusted chronology, it’s five weeks, three days, two hours and four minutes before TAS “Eye of the Beholder”. The crew of Ariel beam down to Lactra VII. Going strictly by stardates, it would be Sunday 25th April, 2269: S.D. 5413.

TAS “Beyond the Furthest Star”

Thursday 28th April, 2270: S.D. (4)64b1

Actual dates: Monday 22nd February, 2269: S.D. (4)52b1

Estimated duration: 1 day
Chronology: A stardate is given, S.D. 5221. I’ve ignored it.
Continuity: Enterprise is right at the edge of the Galaxy, so I’ve placed it just before TAS “The Infinite Vulcan”.

TAS “The Infinite Vulcan”

Sunday 1st to Monday 2nd May, 2270: S.D. (4)64b4 to (4)64b5

Actual dates: Tuesday 15th to Wednesday 16th June, 2269: S.D. (4)55y4 to (4)55y5

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There is a stardate for the first day, S.D. 5554. I’ve gone later.
Continuity: Enterprise is still at the periphery of the Galaxy, so I’ve placed it between TAS “Beyond the Furthest Star” and TAS “One of Our Planets is Missing”. A giant Spock clone stays behind on the planet Phylos.

TAS “One of Our Planets is Missing”

Sunday 8th to Monday 9th May, 2270: S.D. (4)64c1 to (4)64c2

Actual dates: Thursday 25th to Friday 26th March, 2269: S.D. (4)53x1 to (4)53x2

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology:There are stardates for both days. S.D. 5371.3 and S.D. 5372. I’ve not used them, although I’ve fixed the “actual dates” so as not to be too close to TAS “Yesteryear”.
Continuity: The governor of Mantilles is the same Robert Wesley who appeared in TOS “The Ultimate Computer”. By “strict” stardates, his 11 year old daughter Katie would have been born in 2258. I’ve adjusted that to 2259. Enterprise is still at the edge of the Galaxy, previously visited in TOS “Where No Man Has Gone Before”, although the edge is a big place, so it still could be a very long way away from Delta Vega.
Comment: I think that Mantilles and Delta Vega might not be so widely separated, though. Why is there a lithium-cracking station out in the middle of nowhere in the first place, if it’s not part of a Federation colonisation plan?

TAS “The Lorelei Signal”

Friday 20th to Saturday 21st May, 2270: S.D. (4)64d3 to (4)64d4

Actual dates: Tuesday 25th to Wednesday 26th May, 2269: S.D. (4)54d3 to (4)54d4

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There are stardates for the first day, S.D. 5483. Once again, I’ve ignored them.
Continuity: Starships vanish in this area of space every 27.346 years. I’ve assumed that means every 9,988 days and compiled the following table for the vanishings covering the “150 years” (approximately) Kirk specifies:
Dates of Disappearance
My Stardate placement “Strict” Stardate
14th January, 2243 19th January, 2242
10th September, 2215 15th September, 2214
5th May, 2188 11th May, 2187
30th December, 2160 5th January, 2160
26th August, 2133 31st August, 2132

The Federation re-settles the women on another planet, so there won’t be any further problems.

TAS “The Eye of the Beholder”

Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th May, 2270: S.D. (4)65x1 to (4)65x2

Actual dates: Wednesday 2nd to Thursday 3rd June, 2269: S.D. (4)55x1 to (4)55x2

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: There is a stardate for the first day, S.D. 5501.2. I’ve not used it, and it clashes comprehensively with the “strict” stardate placement of TAS “The Ambergris Element”.

TAS “Mudd’s Passion”

Tuesday 14th June, 2270: S.D. (4)65d8

Actual date: Saturday 21st November, 2268: S.D. (4)49d8

Estimated duration; 1 day
Chronology: No, I didn’t use the stardate, S.D. 4978.4. It falls towards the end of TOS “The Paradise Syndrome”.
Continuity: This is the third and final time Harry Mudd crosses paths with Enterprise, after TOS “Mudd’s Women” and TOS “I, Mudd”. Of course, he’ll be back again in “Star Trek: Discovery”. Only that’s before. So it’s already happened.

TAS “Once Upon a Planet”

Friday 17th to Monday 20th June, 2270: S.D. (4)65z1 to (4)65z4

Actual dates: Tuesday 22nd to Friday 25th June, 2269: S.D. (4)55z1 to (4)55z4

Estimated duration: 4 days
Chronology: Everything seems to happen in one day, but I’ve assumed they stay a little longer for shore leave. There is a stardate, S.D. 5591.2, but I’ve not used it.
Continuity: Enterprise makes a second visit to the planet seen in TOS “Shore Leave”.

Approximately Wednesday 22nd June, 2270: S.D. (4)65z6

Around 390 days after TOS “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky”, Yonada arrives at a new planet.
Comment: I’ve left space for Enterprise to be around.

July to early August 2270

Immediately before TAS “Bem”, Enterprise undertakes six relatively safe exploration and contact missions, with an observer from the planet Pandro on board. I’m assuming that the missions are unseen, simply because finding six suitable “lead in” missions from the broadcast shows seemed implausible. Captain Kirk specifically says that beaming down to a newly discovered planet with possible aboriginal life is more hazardous than the previous assignments. I’ve let TAS “The Jihad” happen during this period because it takes so little time, and nobody remembers it afterwards.

TAS “The Jihad”

Friday 29th July, 2270: S.D. (4)66d3

Actual date: Saturday 24th July, 2269: S.D. (4)56c3

Estimated duration: 2 minutes
Chronology:There is a stardate, S.D. 5683.1. I’ve not used it, and cheated slightly with the “strict” date so that it doesn’t clash with TOS “The Tholian Web”.
Continuity: Kirk and Spock return to the bridge after only two minutes have passed, and their memories fade very rapidly. In effect, it never happened.

TAS “Bem”

Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th August, 2270: S.D. (4)67x3 to (4)67x4

Actual dates: Tuesday 25th to Wednesday 26th April, 2271: S.D. (4)74a3 to (4)74a4

Estimated duration: 2 days
Chronology: The stardate, S.D. 7403.6 isn’t immediately ruled out, so it presented me with a bit of a quandary. It would be nice to use the “real” stardate in an animated story, but Icheb is quite clear in VOY “Q2” that the mission finished in 2270. I’ve ignored the stardate, obviously.

TAS “The Terratin Incident”

Friday 12th August, 2270: S.D. (4)67x7

Actual date: Monday 28th June, 2269: S.D. (4)55z7

Estimated duration: 1 day
Chronology: There is a stardate, S.D. 5577. I’ve not used it.
Continuity: The people of Terratin are relocated to the planet Verdanis by Enterprise, a trip that takes ten days.

Monday 22nd August, 2270: S.D. (4)67y7

The people of Terratin arrive at their new home, ten days after TAS “The Terratin Incident”. The strict interpretation of stardates would make it Thursday 8th July, 2269: S.D. 5607, and I’d have to move TOS “Day of the Dove” from where I have it.

TAS “The Counter-clock Incident”

Thursday 25th August, 2270: S.D. (4)67z0

Estimated duration: 1 day
Chronology: There is a stardate, S.D. 6770, and I’m using it! I think everything happens in one day, but it’s complicated by the fact that the clocks run backwards in the other universe (the title of the story is a hint). It absolutely finishes on the same day it started, though.
Continuity: Enterprise is taking Robert and Sarah April to Babel, mentioned before in TOS “Journey to Babel”. Robert April was the first captain of the USS Enterprise. The ship also makes a return visit to Beta Niobe from TOS “All Our Yesterdays”.

Approximately 2270

100 years before TNG “Sub Rosa”, Beverly Crusher’s grandmother Felisa Howard is born. Doctor Crusher says she’s 100, but I’m not sure how exact that’s meant to be.


2267 to 2268
2271 to 2300
