Hmm. That date appears to be an oversight on my part, though perhaps it is possible that Khan and the 96 flee on 22 Sept with the "final battle" being played out on 1 October. That latter event might have looked much better to war-weary populations expecting to read headlines of the ultimate...

UESPA Abstract Timeline Here is a current abstract of where I would like this line of events to go. As always, additions and corrections are welcome: 1856 10 July Nikola Tesla is born. 1892 Nikola Tesla investigates harvesting energies from space. He believes that it was merely a...

A working abstract of what I have so far. Comments and suggestions welcome as always. 1944 Stanislaw Ulam and F. de Hoffman publish speculative ideas regarding alternate applications of nuclear energy. These ideas include the possible use of bombs to push missiles...

I getcha. I had noticed that the Eugenics Wars thread was lacking in one degree or another in the tech behind Khan's eventual departure. My forté is how things work, and not so much about the politics or character development process. I am composing what will be a rather lengthy timeline...

The NERVA Engine What if the NERVA program had not been cancelled after 1967? What if following the revelations of the "McKinley Rocket Base Incident" (i.e. "Assignment:Earth (TOS)) had contributed, in some fashion, to the continuation of nuclear-based space systems rather than it's complete...

Provisional Timeline of the Earth-Kzin conflicts 2049 A Kzinti scout discovers Earth, it will fly to the Kzin Homeworld to report the inhabitants. All UESPA spacecraft are commandeered for military use. The DY-500 series is the most advanced of these vessels and is best equipped...

I think the official use of the term 'canon' is arguable on many fronts but I don't wish to be an antagonist in that arena. I suppose I should clarify what angle I wish to proceed with. My hierarchy of useable facts proceeds as follows: TOS > TAS > TMP-series I-III, a space of time roughly...

It is most amusing how the selective memory works, especially when considering how post-1987 Star Trek is concerned. I for one would not be one to count myself as a critic of Larry Niven's work, considering that his story was offered for consideration and approved in it's form for TAS. "The...

The only objection I with that is Spock clearly states "the mid nineteen-nineties was the era of your last so-called 'world war'", a quote which seems to suggest that the Eugenics Wars was World War Three. All we know audibly from TOS beyond this is that 37 million souls lost their lives in this...

Consider what Temporal Insurgent said above here: Consider: "As early as the 1960's the Earth's governments were attempting to launch orbital nuclear platforms. However a near disaster in 1968, thanks to Gary Seven, forced them to rethink this policy. This resulted in an international...

Yes, I brought this post back from what we shall call a 'hiatus' rather than a grave. I would say that your comment non-pertaining to the original questions posed would be the subject of said mod visit.

Violation of the Outer Space Treaty Hello all! I realize this thread is six years old, but I have a general question to pose that is relevant to this topic. In the episode "Assignment:Earth" (TOS) we learn that the United States attempts to launch a suborbital nuclear platform in order to...

Here is a mini-timeline of events which I feel might be crucial to this discussion, as well as an opportunity for me to detail the angle I would like to work from. I have also included a link to a specific articles at my website which might help those unfamiliar with the technical fandom angle...

The United Earth Space Probe Agency. From TOS, we assume that it was an early operating authority for USS Enterprise in the episode "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", a number of uniform insignia and other devices have alluded to it. We also know from Star Trek "canon" that UESPA was responsible for...

Cross post from my site, http://www.starfleetnet.com/forum Here are 4 page scans from The USS Enterprise Officers Manual which I cited above. http://www.starfleetnet.com/images/eom_page4.jpg http://www.starfleetnet.com/images/eom_page5.jpg http://www.starfleetnet.com/images/eom_page87.jpg...

THREAD TIMELINE COMPILATION I have compiled all of the dates provided in this thread into a single timeline for a quick and easy overview of "what we know". . . 1950-1960s Project Chrysalis, a secretive (or UN Committee for Eugenics Research?) group of scientists (not unlike the...

And this point very nicely supports my own conjecture that much of the "western" world ignored the gathering plight in the East and it was this indifference to the extreme that led to the establishment of the United Nations Peace Forces in 1994 and it's merger with NATO after January 1995.

Hello everyone! First time poster, though...curiously enough, I am not unfamiliar with the subject of this thread. Not in the slightest. I am the newsgroup poster formerly known as MarinerJRMB @ MCHSI.com (Jay and Ruth) and I was responsible for the initial challenge which, 4 years later, is...
