Most of the written fiction and speculation I have seen about the mirror universe has the main POD with Khan and the eugenic supermen winning the Eugenics Wars and Earth is then transfomed into a brutal dictatorship. The mirror universe could have also arisen from the events depicted in City on the Edge of Forever-ie McCoy goes back in time prevents Edith Keeler from dying leading to the Nazis winning WW2.
I remembered a Mirror timeline that I found that combined both of these elements-the link is down but luckily I have the text.-MEJ

I FOUND THIS INTERESTING ALTERNATE STAR TREK AT TIMELINE
http://www.startrekzone.com/imperium.history.html
1774 General George Washington is captured by the British Army. He is
found guilty of treason and is executed. This severely demoralizes
the independence movement and the American colonial freedom fighters.
1775 After several crushing defeats, the American colonial militia
surrenders to General Hastings of the British Army. Within months,
the outlaw patriots are captured, found guilty of treason and
sedition, then summarily executed.
1776 With the American Independence movement at an end, British
troops garrisoned throughout the colonies are moved to the western
and southern borders to expand and secure British holdings.
1778 King George commissions the formation of the British American
States and creates a series of duchies and earldoms to govern them.
Loyal British subjects are knighted and given governorship of these
new duchies and earldoms. The American Parliament is formed,
supported by an American House of Commons. Benedict Arnold, a colonel
of British Intelligence and instrumental in Washington's capture, is
appointed as the first American Prime Minister.
1779 British troops move northward and sweep through former British
territories being held by the French, adding to the British American
States. In addition, southern territories held by Spain begin to
grumble about forays into their territories.
1786 - 1798 British troops, backed by indentured servants and African
slaves, push British American boundaries westward to the Mississippi
and build a series of forts to protect the border. The southern end
and delta region are held by the Spanish.
1806 A British fleet lays siege to New Orleans. Cut off on the land
side by three regiments of British regulars, New Orleans falls in
three months. Moving northeast, the fleet and supporting regiments
secures Spanish forts and stations garrisons along the way.
1818 - 1842 British and Spanish warships continuously disrupt each
other's trade routes, increasing tensions. Due to wars each are
engaged in on the European continent, neither can effectively end the
threats to their fleets.
1861 - 1865 British American troops march on territories held by the
Spanish American Confederacy. In the war that ensues, over 200,000
lives are lost. In the end, the British American States win, and
Spain cedes not only the territories of the Spanish Confederacy, but
of the lands west of the Mississippi they laid claim to.
1865.04 American Prime Minister Lincoln is shot while at a play by a
Spanish Confederacy spy. Two hundred Spanish citizens are executed in
retaliation.
1882 Fort Alamo is besieged by the Mexican Army. The British American
States declares war on Mexico. Great Britain refuses to support and
aid in the war. This angers many of the American nobles, as well as
members of the American Parliament. They vow to remember this failure
by the mother country to help it's main colony.
1882 - 1888 Battle by bloody battle, the British American army slowly
pushes the Mexican Army back. By 1888, British American forces have
secured territories extending all the way to the Pacific.
1889 In a major push into Mexico, general Sam Houston captures Mexico
City and executes Santa Ana. The Mexican government sues for peace.
1914 - 1917 The German Republic invades several lesser European
nations bordering them. England, France, and Spain ally together and
go to war against Germany in protest. The British Empire demands the
support of British American troops, but are turned down by the
American Parliament. By 1917, after humiliating and defeating Allied
European troops, the German Republic has conquered much of Eastern
Europe, and forced alliances with Italy and nations of Northern
Africa.
1918 Great Britain declares the American Parliament in rebellion and
sends warships to secure British American ports. A vastly newer and
superior American navy turns their aging warships away. The American
Parliament declares indepence from the British Empire.
1939 The Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, seizes control of the
German Republic. The Nazi Government begins a massive buildup of
troops, tanks, and aircraft. The new German Nazi Army grows to one
million troops.
1939.06 Edith Keeler founds the World Peace organization. Believing
that fighting the Germans would be too costly, she convinces the
British American States to end any and all aid to Europe.
1940 The German Nazi government declares war on all of Europe. Their
allies, the Asian Alliance, led by Japan's Emperor, lays siege to
nations within the Asian and Indian theatres.
1941.1207 Asian Alliance forces attack San Diego, bringing the
British American States into World War II.
1942 The German Nazi military successfully tests and launches a V-2
rocket. One month later, they begin full-scale production. Soon
after, they use a V-2 to deliver an atomic bomb strike on St.
Petersburg, Russia.
1943 The Asian Alliance uses a new submarine design that launches
German made atomic torpedoes, thus decimating Euro-American Fleets in
the Pacific.
1945 The European Nations, Russian Provinces, African Nations, and
South American Nations surrender to the combined German Nazi and
Asian Alliance forces. Victorious, they create the United Nazi
Nations. British America and the Mexican Republic refuses to join and
continue their fight.
1949 The UNN Grand Chancellor Adolf Hitler demands the surrender of
British America and the Mexican Republic, threatening atomic
bombardment. Continuing their refusal, he launches a strike against
Mexico City. The American Parliament capitulates and becomes another
Nazi puppet government.
1959 NASA, the Nazi Allied Space Administration, lands the first man
on the moon.
1964 The Space Station Fueher goes online with plans to begin moon
colonization.
1970 A crack team of Nazi Special Forces storm various South American
labs and discover long term experimentation in eugenics. Unsure as to
if and how many "super-humans" were created, the Nazi party goes on
alert.
1992 Khan Noonien Sing rises to power and seizes several third world
countries in attempt to overthrow Nazi control of the world.
1993 The Eugenics Wars begin when Khan invades mainland China.
1996 The Eugenics Wars end, having caused the deaths of over 60
million people. Though the Nazi Party is severely weakened, Khan and
his followers are brought to trial. They eventually escape and flee
Earth in a prototype DY-100 Sleeper.
1998 In the chaotic aftermath of the Eugenics Wars, the Nazi party
falls. High ranking party officials and military officers are exiled
to deep space. The Unified American party, the most powerful of
political groups led by General Richard Wolffe and controls the
former British American States, creates the nucleus of the Terran
Empire. The Terran Empire rises up and fills the void left by the
fallen UNN.
2001 Recognizing that the best way to motivate people to pull
together was to turn their focus outward, the Terran Empire decrees
that the Imperial Space Initiative be passed. Exploitation of the
solar system begins to help rebuild human civilization.
2008 Imperial Intelligence discover a secret bunker containing rocket
designs that were being researched by the former NASA. The new
design, the Orion Pulse Engine, revolutionizes space travel.
2012 A Wanderer Class unmanned probe, using the Orion design,
circumnavigates the solar system in four months.
2018 A series of Wanderer II Class Interstellar probes are launched
in disparate directions. They feature an upgraded Orion Pulse Engine.
2031 The first reconnaissance data returns from one of the Wanderer
II probes sent to Alpha Centauri. The data shows evidence of an
advanced civilization developing there. Plans begin to send a fleet
to investigate.
2045 Emperor Richard Wolffe dies of natural causes. His eldest son,
Prince Edward, assumes the reigns of power.
2059 Imperial Scientist Zephrame Cochrane goes into hiding with his
assistant, Lilly Sloane. It is believed that they have developed a
propulsion unit that can surpass the speed of light.
2063 Imperial Intelligence is contacted by an individual identifying
himself as Commander William Riker. He assists Imperial Intelligence
in locating Cochrane and Sloane. As an act of gratitude, the Emperor
allows Riker and his team to take over production and launch of the
Pheonix, a prototype "warp" rocket.
During the test launch, contact is made with an advanced space-faring
race, the Vulcans. Despite the advantage to the Vulcans, an Imperial
Marine Commando team successfully captures the Vulcan reconnaissance
team and their scout vessel. Ship's records showed that they were on
a deep space patrol and not expected to return for a year. They
altered course to investigate warp emanations from our solar system
and determine the threat value of our race. Imperial Engineers begin
immediate development of a new warp vessel incorporating
modifications based on the Vulcan design.
2064 The first six vessels of the Conqueror Class, a warp drive
starship, completes production. They are armed with high-powered
monochromatic, high-intensity lasers powered by the ships fusion
sublight impulse engine.
2065 A fleet of twelve Conqueror Class vessels, led by Prince
William, Emperor Edward's younger brother, launches for Alpha
Centauri. The journey takes two months. The Centauran government
resists their overtures for Alliance, and the fleet begins a siege
that lasts only three weeks before the Centauran Government concedes
defeat.
2066 A Vulcan cruiser enters Earth's orbit, demanding to know why the
Terran Empire is holding Vulcan citizen's prisoner. Several Conqueror
Class vessels take up position around the warship. Tensions mount and
the Vulcan cruiser is fired upon when it tries to escape. Disabled,
the ship is boarded, crew captured. Flight data decrypted shows the
coordinates for the Vulcan Homeworld.
2068 A fleet of twelve Stellar Class Warships are sent to Vulcan,
commanded by Fleet Admiral William Wolffe. The Stellar Class features
launch tubes that fire thermo-nuclear hydrofusion torpedoes.
2070 The Imperial Fleet arrives at Vulcan, much to the Vulcan's
surprise. Vulcan warships gather to expel the threat, but cooler
heads start to see the power that can be wrought with an alliance.
Commodore Riker, Commanding the Dark Knights Wing, negotiates the
Alliance Accords.
While on an exploratory mission, the ITSS Bonaparte discovers Axanar
and it's intelligent, but non-space faring, humanoid race. Led by 1LT
Colin Fortine, the Axanarians are quickly subjugated and become part
of the Terran Empire.
2071 Rear Admiral Riker disappears while on a tour of a newly
discovered area of space. All searches in the area are fruitless,
with no signs of other vessels in the area.
2072 Earth's first Atlas Class multi-functional, space rated
construction dock becomes operational, serving as a sublight
maneuverable repair facility for starships.
2073 First contact with the Tellarites. Under the command of Rear
Admiral Patrick Byrne, a fleet of Imperial Defense Force vessels
encounter a Tellarite vessel while on patrol in the Sol System. After
a brief and incisive attack, the Tellarite vessel is disabled. The
Tellarite commander is interrogated and quickly divulges the
Tellarite Homeworld coordinates.
2074 The combined fleet of Terran Empire and Vulcan Protectorate
warships, under the command of Admiral Sean Collins, enters the
Tellar home system. After a two week siege, the Tellarites surrender
and all of the Tellarite controlled space is annexed by the Terran
Empire.
2076 First contact with the Andoran Star Empire. An Andoran warship
fires on an Imperial Scout. The Terran Empire declares war and masses
a fleet. Each battle comes to a draw, neither side a clear victor.
The Vulcans mediate negotiations between the two foes and logic wins
out showing each the advantage of becoming allies.
2082 A series of meetings take place on Earth, attended by the
diplomats from Earth, Vulcan, and Andor. Talks of a formal unified
alliance fails to gain popularity due to disagreements as to how the
new alliance would be governed, and by whom.
2084 Emperor Edward Wolffe dies of natural causes. Fleet Admiral Sean
Collins, Commander-in-Chief of the Terran Imperial Fleet, is named
Emperor.
2085 During a war games exercise involving Terran, Vulcan, and
Andoran warships, and Andoran warship is crippled when two Terran
warships collide with it. The incident calls for an immediate and in-
depth review. It is found that there needs to be a more centralized
command and training structure between the three governments.
2087 The Terran Emperor, the Vulcan Praetor, and the Andoran Prefect
gather with the high ranking members of their governments and
military to sign the accords forming the Imperial Federation. Each
government's ruler will equally rule on a council of nine regents,
three from each government. Every three years, the mantel of Prime
Regent will be held by one of the three rulers.
In addition, a unified military command is created. Imperial
Starfleet Command will consist of officers and warships from all
three governments. Each will maintain defense fleets within their
home territories, but Imperial Starfleet warships and their
commanders will have overriding authority.
To ensure a high standard of training and competence, the Grand
Imperial Fleet Academy is organized and built on Earth to train all
Imperial Starfleet Officers.
Through a great amount of debate and political maneuvering, the
Terran's own Emperor Sean Collins accepts the mantel as the first
Prime Regent of the Imperial Federation.
2089 During a tour of the Imperial Federation, the ISS Alliance is
attacked by vessels of unknown configuration. The High Prefect of
Andor and the Praetor of Vulcan are killed in the attack. Emperor
Collins declares martial law until the attackers can be brought to
justice.
Protests are raised by the Vulcan and Andoran regents, but are
quickly quieted when squadrons of Zeus Class Dreadnaughts take up
orbit around Vulcan, Andor, and other key colonies and installations.
The Zeus Class are the newest warship design out of a secret Jovian
construction dock. Some 60 had been built from 2083 and 2088. They
feature a three nacelle design, new high intensity phased laser
turrets, and new bio-thermic torpedoes. Elite Terran Imperial Fleet
Officers staffs all of the warships.
There are a number of minor rebellions which are quashed by either
the dreadnaughts or the crack shock troops carried aboard.
Meanwhile, a search begins for the vessels that attacked the ISS
Alliance.
2090 - 2092 Emperor Collins reveals to the Imperial Federation that
Imperial Intelligence has discovered that the Council of Regents had
conspired with a previously unknown race called the Orions to
assassinate the Prime Regent and other High Regents.
With this, he disbands the Council of Regents and declares himself
the sole sovereign and Emperor of the Imperial Federation. He creates
the Grand Imperial Council and appoints a number of Vulcan and
Andoran nobles to serve on the Cabinet of Ministers. He then
commissions duchies, earldoms, and baronies throughout the Imperial
Federation, appointing loyal Terran, Vulcan, and Andoran nobles to
these stations.
It is soon evident that this new form of governing is better and
further strengthens the Imperial Federation. Though there are
rumblings by the Andorians of their loss of power, smarter players
begin to work within the new structure to build powerful imperial
houses to get the upper hand on their competitors.
Vulcan and Andoran officers, trained by the Grand Imperial Fleet
Academy, begin to serve on Imperial Starfleet Warships.
2092 The ISS Hercules fails to make its destination at Penal Colony
Alpha. It is later discovered that ships of unknown configuration
destroy it, but not before it's captain releases it's buoy-recorder.
2093 An Imperial scout vessel recovers the buoy-recorder of the ISS
Hercules. Imperial Intelligence begins interrogations of Tellarite
and Orion traders. They discover that races similar to the Vulcans,
called the Romulans, are responsible. The Romulans are a group of
Vulcans that escaped from Vulcan refusing Surak's teachings. It was
believed that the group had perished, but apparently had flourished
and exist peacefully with another yet unknown race - the Klingons.
2094 Imperial Starfleet's Rising Sun Class cruiser becomes
operational. They feature the more powerful phasers and new quasi-
nuclear photon-neutron torpedoes.
2101 Contact is made with the Romulans. The Vulcans push for a large
scale military action, but Imperial Intelligence convinces Emperor
Collins to wait for more information.
2103 Emperor Sean Collins dies from radiation exposure. The accident
happened while touring a new starbase when the reactor destabilized
and exploded. Admiral Alan Wolffe, son of former Emperor Edward
Wolffe, succeeds him.
2105 Imperial Intelligence presents information regarding Romulan
strengths and weaknesses. A year long operation within Romulan space
using captured Romulan trade vessels gleaned much as to the
boundaries, culture, and military strengths of the Romulan Star
League. In addition, information was discovered about their trade
allies, the Klingons.
2106 Emperor Alan Wolffe grants the Vulcans petition to attack the
Romulans. Spearheaded by Imperial warships equipped with a prototype
cloaking device, based on Intelligence findings, they are supported
by large number of Vulcan Defense vessels.
2108 The ISS Minotaur, a Perseus Class Cruiser commanded by Vice
Admiral Charles Young, leads a fleet of Perseus and Zeus Class
warships, supported by Vulcan Bird of prey and Praetor class defense
vessels and surprises a Romulan base repairing and refitting some
fifty Romulan vessels. Because there were only skeleton crews aboard,
most all of the ships are destroyed before firing a shot in defense.
Eight Vulcan vessels are destroyed while delivering a deadly barrage
of fire to the starbase causing it to explode. This delivers a
crushing blow to the Romulan Star League.
2109 Admiral Charles Young takes a second expeditionary force into
Romulan space, with it's target the Romulan homeworld. The fleet lays
waste to Romulan defenses as they forge their way through.
In the weeks to follow, the Imperial Federation captures increasing
amounts of Romulan held territory and colonies. On the eve of 2110,
the massed fleet commanded by Admiral Young enters the Romulus system
and destroys the remainder of their defense fleet. The fleet barrages
Romulus with bio-thermic weapons and within hours, Romulus is a
wasteland with over 4 billion dead. Nearby Remus evacuates, civilian
transports heading for deep space with Romulan defense ships lagging
behind to slow down the Imperial warships. Remus is captured shortly
after.
2110 Romulan space is secured and annexed by the Vulcans, a gift from
the Emperor. Vulcan imperial families are commissioned sectors of
Romulan space and the Vulcan Defense Force is given authority to
patrol the annexed territory in association with Imperial Starfleet
warships. The Vulcan Protectorates is now 3 times it's previous size.
Imperial Defense Outposts are built along the Vulcan-Klingon Border.
2116 The Sovereign Class Heavy Cruiser becomes operational. It has a
new, more efficient cloaking device, developed from captured Romulan
technology. All Imperial warships are equipped with the cloaking
devices from this point on.
2128 The number of subjugated civilizations reaches 150. The Imperial
Federation has gained great strengths and begins tentative forays
into Klingon space.
2143 The Aries Class Dreadnought becomes operational. This new class
and all classes to follow use the dilithium balanced anti-
matter/matter warp engines. This is mated with a more efficient
shield generator design that makes for a powerful vessel.
2152 First contact with the Klingon Free States. The ISS Defiant
fires on and cripples a Klingon scout vessel. Much about the Klingons
are learned from the ship's computer and crew interrogations.
2175 Imperial Scientists Daystrom and Abramson devise the first
practical, portable universal translator. Imperial Intelligence R&D
quickly develops a minitiarized, subcutaneous version for their
agents use while conducting covert operations in alien cultures.
2178 Through many attempts, the Imperial Vulcan Science Institute
invents a stable transporter. Imperial Starfleet and Imperial Marine
Corps orders all warships to be fitted with them as assault
transporters for their marine forces.
2180 Extensive deposits of dilithium are found on Rigel XII, held by
the Orion Trade Alliance. A shipment being sent secretly to the
Klingon Free States prompts retaliation by the Imperial Federation.
The Orion Trade Alliance is quickly annexed. They punish the Orions
by barraging their home planet with bio-thermic weapons.
2186 A massive construction program is initiated to produce several
new classes of destroyers, frigates, cruisers, and dreadnoughts. This
is to prepare for a massive military action against the Klingon Free
States.
2194.2 Imperial Intelligence reports that a Klingon Task Force, sent
to test the strength of the Imperial Federation, is underway to the
Axanar System. The ISS America is dispatched to investigate.
2194.3 The ISS Monmouth, a Devisor Class Frigate, discovers the buoy-
recorder of the ISS America. It is learned that the Klingon Task
Force destroyed it after it's immediate arrival at Axanar.
2194.4 The ISS Monmouth, commanded by Captain Garth of Izar, disables
a Klingon cruiser eight parsecs from the Axanar system. He is joined
by a wing of Tecumseh Class cruisers, and enters Axanarian space. He
demands the surrender of the Klingon Task Force. One of the Tecumseh
Class cruisers picks up a second Klingon task Force on it's way to
Axanar. Captain Garth immediately executes a tactical plan that
results in the destruction of the Klingon Task Force at Axanar and
disables the incoming Task Force.
Emperor Phineas Young declares war against the Klingon Free States.
2195 Due to his success at Axanar, Captain Garth is promoted to Rear
Admiral and given command of the 6th and 8th Fleets. Over the next
two years, he coordinates many victories against the Klingons,
expanding Imperial holdings.
2197 Rear Admiral Garth of Izar is promoted to Fleet Admiral and
given command of Imperial Starfleet.
2199 Due to dwindling resources and losses of territory, the Klingons
become increasingly desperate in their tactics, causing further
defeats. Soon the Imperial Federation warships have located Q'onos.
2201 The Klingon Free States surrender to the Imperial Federation.
Klingon space is annexed by the Terrans. Several Klingon Houses,
accepting the inevitable, declare their loyalty to the Emperor. What
remains of the Klingon Naval Forces is commissioned to be the Klingon
Defense Forces. Their Command Officer's are replaced with Imperial
Starfleet officers, and many Klingon Officers are placed on Imperial
Starfleet vessels for "re-education".
2209 Emperor Phineas Young contracts a rare form of Rigellian Blood
Fever and dies within days of contraction. Fleet Admiral Garth of
Izar, hero of the Klingon War, is the first non-Terran to ascend the
throne and become Emperor.
2217 The ISS Rattler is forced to destroy Vendikahr on a first
contact mission, when the planet attempts to fire on the ship.
Vendikahr and it's neighbor Eminiar VII have been at war for over 200
years. With Vendikahr eliminated, Eminiar VII readily joins the
Imperial Federation. This is the first time such a drastic action is
executed by a Captain without orders from the Emperor.
2218 In a highly public trial, Captain Josea Cummings, commanding
officer of the ISS Rattler, is defended by Imperial Starfleet against
the Grand Imperial Council for his actions at vendikahr. Many
individuals, including Ambassador Strategist Sarek, argue that it was
correct to destroy Vendikahr, that the "Balance of Terror" must be
maintained when one encounters Imperial Starfleet and the Imperial
Federation. Captain Cummings is returned to the captaincy of the
Rattler with a promotion to Commodore.
2229 As a gesture of goodwill by Emperor Garth, as well as maintain
relations between Terra and Vulcan, he awards the hand of Amanda
Greyson, daughter of Duke Greyson, to Ambassador Strategist Sarek of
Vulcan.
2230 The Imperial Vulcan Sciences Institute engineers a son between
Sarek and Amanda, designed to be the first true child of the Empire.
He is named Spock.
2244 The Conqueror II Class cruiser becomes operational. It is
designed to conquer and expand into uncharted territories. One of the
first, the ISS Enterprise, becomes famous for being the first to
allow women to serve on board, and carry its own variation of the
Seal of The Imperial Federation.
2246 Governor Kodos of Tarsus IV is assassinated by a rebel gang for
his ineptness to handle a food shortage caused by a botanical plague.
James Kirk, leader of the gang, orders the execution of half the
colony to save the other half. The Imperial Federation awards Kirk
for his expedient actions.
2248 Emperor Garth of Izar dies after ingesting an unknown toxin.
Further investigation by Imperial Intelligence links the toxin to an
Orion source. One thousand Orion prisoners are executed. Fleet
Admiral Josea Cummings is chosen to become Emperor.
2250 The ISS Enterprise returns from its shakedown cruise. Fleet
Captain Christopher Pike is given command after Captain April dies in
an unfortunate transporter accident.
2252 Ensign James Kirk graduates from the Grand Imperial Fleet
Academy and posted aboard the ISS Yorktown.
2260 Lieutenant (sg) James Kirk discovers the Tantulus Field while
leading an expedition on a dead planet.
2264 Lt Commander James Kirk, Intelligence Officer aboard the ISS
Enterprise, uses his position to advantage and assassinates Commodore
Christopher Pike when he discovers the truth about the Talos IV
incident. Kirk is promoted to Captain and takes command of the
Enterprise.
2266 First contact with the Gorn. In the quest to expand Imperial
Federation territory, Task Force Delta is mobilized with Captain Kirk
of the ISS Enterprise commanding the fleet. The fleet lays waste to
Cestus III. Soon after, the Gorn are subjugated by the Empire.
2267 The ISS Enterprise, while trying to "persuade" the Halkans to
supply the Imperial Federation with dilithium, is involved in what
later is coded as the "Mirror, Mirror" incident. All officers are
instructed by Intelligence Chief Sulu not to speak of the Incident.
2268.06 The Guardian of Forever is discovered by the ISS Enterprise
after investigating a temporal anomaly. Dr. Leonard McCoy, suspected
of being anti-Federationalist, enters the Guardian and goes back to
1931. He allows Edith Keeler to die, ending the Mirror Timeline.
Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock go after McCoy and prevents the
death - restoring the Mirror Timeline. McCoy is executed for treason.
2268.09 The ISS Enterprise discovers the SS Botany Bay, which holds
the frozen Khan Noonien Singh and his followers that escaped Earth in
1996. Kirk is impressed with Khan's strategic and tactical knowledge
and keen mind, and uses his influence to secure a place for Khan in
the Imperial Starfleet.
2271 The ISS Bastion makes first contact with the Deltans. They are
found to have great empathic and telepathic abilities, and prove
quite valuable to the Imperial Federation. Deltans loyal to the
Imperial Federation are soon utilized by Imperial Intelligence in the
formation of a new Intelligence/Security Division, the Imperial
Thought Enforcement Division. Members of the division are utilized on
board Imperial Warships as Political Officers, ensuring loyalty of
the Command staff and crew.
2274 Emperor Cummings passes away from natural causes at a very young
age and quite unexpectedly. Fleet Admiral Androver Drake ascends to
the throne of Emperor.
2277 Captain Spock is given command of the ISS Enterprise by Admiral
James Kirk while it is being refitted. Imperial Starfleet promotes
Admiral Kirk to Commander, Alpha Quadrant Command.
2285 Admiral Kirk is aboard the refitted Enterprise during a
shakedown cruise when Captain Khan of the ISS Reliant steals the
Genesis Torpedo from the Regula Outpost. His plan is to assassinate
Emperor Drake and get payback from earth for his exile in 1996. His
boasting to Imperial Scientist Marcus of his plans proves to be his
downfall. Admiral Kirk is able to force the Reliant into the Mutarra
Nebula and disables the ship. In an attempt to strike out in
vengeance, Captain Khan detonates the Genesis Torpedo, but not in
time to destroy the Enterprise.
2289 The ISS Intrepid, commanded by Captain Saavik, is destroyed
along the edge of Klingon territory, defending Andoran Defense
vessels from a rebel Klingon faction. Andor offers to replace the
ship and the Empire agrees immediately. The Imperial Federation uses
the opportunity to fund the development of the Excelsior Class Battle
Cruiser.
2290 In the aftermath of the strange and yet unsolved disappearance
of Emperor Androver Drake, Fleet Admiral James Kirk ascends to the
throne and renames himself Emperor Tiberius. Thus begins the
bloodiest reign in Imperial Federation history. Rebellions begin to
emerge throughout the Imperial Federation.
2299 While on tour of the new Excelsior Class Enterprise-B, under the
command of Captain Harriman, Emperor Tiberius mysteriously disappears
after the ship encounters what is later termed "The Nexus Band".
Fleet Admiral Spock, Prime Regent and Praetor of the Vulcan
Protectorates, claims the Imperial throne, but rather than be called
Emperor, takes the title of Intendant.
2301 Intendant Spock gives cloaking technology to all Defense Fleets
and pulls out most of the Imperial Starfleet vessels patrolling their
territories, giving the Defense Fleets more autonomy. He also allows
their crews to be wholly Vulcan, Klingon, and Andoran.
2305 A rebel faction of the Klingon Imperial Houses, who bore Emperor
Tiberius' excesses the most, begin to secretly build up their fleets.
2317 The ISS Enterprise-B is assumed lost near Barzan.
2324 The Betazoid culture is discovered and found to have similar
empathic and telepathic capabilities of the Deltans, and loyal
members are incorporated into the Imperial Thought Enforcement
Division.
2327 The planet of Bajor is discovered and annexed for its placement
on the frontier and vast mineral deposits.
2330 First contact with the Cardassians. The ISS Perregrin detects
and intercepts a Cardassian Scout. The ship is able to get out a
distress call. Cardassia immediately takes offense and declares war
against the Imperial Federation.
2334.01 The ISS Stargazer begins its mission of conquest with captain
Jack Crusher, commanding.
2334.04 Imperial Starfleet sends the 12th and 23rd Fleets to Bajor
responding to reports of a Cardassian fleet massing near there. In
what becomes known as the Bajoran Blockade, the Empire loses 27
warships and over 100,000 lives in six weeks.
2334.06 The Battle of Bajor begins. Within two weeks, the Bajoran
system is abandoned by the Imperial Federation. The Cardassians build
Terek Nor. Over 18,000 POW's are left behind.
2338 Intendant Spock and Imperial Scientist Noonien Singh
successfully build an android with the capability of storing the
entirety of Intelligence and Security data. This android is
codenamed "DATA". It serves as an Internal Security Officer on board
the ISS Tripoli during field tests.
2344 Investigating possible Klingon rebel elements working with the
long thought gone Romulans, the ISS Enterprise-C is lost near Narenda
III.
2350 Klingon rebels, aided by Cardassia, begin to interrupt Imperial
Operations. Intendant Spock reluctantly sends in shock troops to try
and quell the rebellions.
2355 The ISS Stargazer engages an armed trading vessel when it
refuses to be boarded for inspection. The Stargazer is damaged and
Captain Crusher is killed when the vessel self-destructs with him on
board. Commander Picard assumes command and reports the incident to
Imperial Starfleet.
2357 The Battle of Orias IV brings an end to the war with cardassia.
Unable to push them back, the Empire and Cardassia form the

surprise and Alliance losses came to 90% of their fleet there. From
there, the Imperial fleet separates in to 6 groups, heading out in
different directs, laying waste to all opposition that Regent Worf
tries to mount. Alliance vessels were being boarded by the Borg Shock
Marines, and crews were effectively assimilated, and the ship became
part of the invading armada. Within two weeks, almost 80% of the
original Imperial Federation's territory had been reclaimed. Two
weeks after that, Cardassia Prime was a wasteland. The Klingon Houses
that were loyal to the old Imperial Federation reorganized swiftly
and took over the Klingon High Council - executing the old council.
They declare the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance nullified, and sue for
peace with the Imperials. Regent Worf, in the combat field, received
news of this and declares the governing council traitors to the

warships, escorting the remains of the Cardassian civilian population
and military forces to the Bajoran wormhole and fled to the Gamma

Imperial Citizens, all Bajorans are gathered and exiled to their home
planet of Bajor. Once all are accounted for - the Imperials launch a
next generation Genesis Torpedo and revamps Bajor and eliminates the
Bajoran population. The new planet is named New Terra and the new
government and military force is headquartered here. Terek Nor is
destroyed and a new Battlestation and Shipyards are built, and
defense platforms are placed around the wormhole to destroy anything
that tries to come through.
The exiled government now reorganizes and creates a new political
entity, the Imperial Confederation of Planets. The new hierarchy is
comprised of loyal family lines from Earth, Vulcan, Andor, Kazons,
and Q'onos. These families are given control of large sectors of the
new ICP territories, and given titlements over them. The
Confederation is led by an Emperor, who is advised by the Prime
Regent and Council of Regents. The Imperial Cabinet of Ministers
administrate the ICP.

Confederation officers commanding the ships. They are also required

Officer.
