Starfleet Universe Timeline

Calendar year	SFU Year	Events
1993		Start of the Eugenics Wars, a terrible conflict on Earth, brought about by a group of genetically engineered \"supermen \" who were the result of an ambitious selective-breeding program. The leader of the group was Khan Noonien Singh . Within a year, Khan and his followers had seized control in forty Earth nations, which totaled roughly a quarter of the planet. Terrible wars ensued, in part because the \"supermen\" fought among themselves. Entire populations were bombed out of existence, and Earth was on the verge of a new Dark Age.
2018		Advancements in sublight propulsion technology make sleeper ships obsolete.
2020		The United States of America establishes the Sanctuary Districts in an effort to alleviate rising unemployment and poverty.
2026		World War III begins over the issue of genetic engineering and Human genome enhancement. Among the major players of the war is Colonel Phillip Green, whose actions lead to some 37 million deaths.
2032		A manned Earth mission to Mars, the Ares IV, takes place under the command of Lieutenant John Kelly. However, the orbital module of the mission, along with Lt. Kelly, vanishes, stranding two astronauts on the Martian surface. No satisfactory explanation is ever found.
2037		The Earth spaceship Charybdis, commanded by Colonel Stephen G. Richey, is launched as the third attempt to explore beyond the Sol system.
2038		NASA loses contact with the Charybdis following a failure in the ship\'s telemetry system.
2053		The Third World War on Earth ends. 600 million people are killed, numerous major cities are destroyed or suffer heavy damage and most of the major governments are in ruins. One of the major combatants in the war was the ECON or Eastern Coalition.
2063	Y1	First Contact (of public record) between the Human race and neighboring race: the Vulcans. Zefram Cochrane launches the Phoenix, mankind \'s first warp-capable ship, from a remote location in the continental United States. A Vulcan survey ship, the T\'Plana-Hath, passing through the local sector, detects the brief warp flight and the ship diverts course to investigate. The Vulcans are already in contact with other space-faring races in the immediate vicinity (Andorians, Rigellians). (Official canon)
2064		Humans launch the first warp ships to explore the galaxy.
2069		The Earth colony ship SS Conestoga is launched with the mission of colonizing the planet Terra Nova.
2070		A group of North American Indians leave Earth in order to preserve their cultural identity and to find a new home.
2078		The SS Conestoga reaches Terra Nova.
2079		By this year, the post-atomic horror is underway
2081		Earth loses contact with the Terra Nova colony. (It turns out an asteroid struck the colony planet.)
2090		The Orpheus Mining Colony on Luna is established.
2102		The Earth survey ship SS Hokule\'a is launched for deep space exploration.
2103		The first Human colony on the planet Mars is established, marking the birth of the Martian colonies.
2105		The Earth colony ship VK Yuri Gagarin is launched.
2105		The Taurean system is briefly explored and a spaceship is lost near there. No satisfactory explanation is ever found.
2112	Y1	Human\'s have Non-Tactical Warp drive (Impulse Engines, Maximum Warp Factor of 5.5 or 9 parsecs/day).
2113	Y2	The Earth United Government is formed.
2115	Y4	The United Federation of Planets is formed. It is made up of Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Alpha Centaurians, Rigellians, and other.
2132	Y21	Federation encounters the Orions, a smaller star-faring culture toward the Galactic Rim border. The Orions quickly set up trade relations.
2144	Y33
2147	Y36
2151	Y40	First Federation-Romulan War begins when Romulans invade Federation territory. The Federation fleet is motley as each member race has built it\'s own ships. (During this war, no Federation member survives a face to face meeting with a Romulan.)
		Enterprise NX-01 makes first contact with the Menk people on the planet Valakis.
2154	Y43	Enterprise NX-01 destroys the Xindi superweapon.
		Columbia NX-02 is launched from drydock.
		Enterprise NX-01 makes first contact with the Illyrians, the Na\'kuhl, the Orions, and the Organians.
		An alliance is formed between humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites to combat increasing threats from Romulus. This alliance is recognized as the beginning of the Federation.
2156	Y45	A treaty between the Federation and the Orions effectively brings the Orions into the Federation, albeit preserving some legal semblance of a semiautonomous zone.
2157	Y46	First Federation-Romulan War ends with a cease-fire; Orion support for the war effort had given the Federation a major advantage. The Romulan threat drives the Federation to rapidly create colonies and bases in support of the fleet near the Romulan border.
2161	Y50	First Klingon-Kzinti war begins.
2166	Y55	First known contact between the Kzintis and Carnivons (a canine race), and between the Lyrans and the Carnivons. Some earlier contacts may have occurred, but if so the Kzinti or Lyran ships did not survive to report. The Lyrans and Kzintis are, apparently, both trying to outflank the other when they encounter the new foe.
2167	Y56	The First Kzinti-Lyran War ends. The Carnivons begin attacking both felinoid races, taking advantage of their exhausted forces in the region.
2173	Y62	Federation launches its first cruiser capable of Tactical Warp, allowing ships to fight at warp speed (limited to warp 3.2).
		First transporters (limited to 10,000Km) enter service.
2174	Y63	Klingons adopt Tactical Warp and arm their ships with disruptor cannnons.
2176	Y65	Carnivon forces reach the WYN Cluster, having driven a wedge between the Lyrans and Kzintis and having occupied several of their border provinces. The Kzintis and Lyrans will not regain direct contact until Y106, the longest period of peace between each other in their histories.
2179	Y68
2182	Y71	Federation forms Star Fleet. Member races begin disbanding their \'national\' fleets (which are non-tactical warp ships) in favor of the unified fleet (which are tactical warp with photon torpedoes). However, the Federation Council agrees to allow each planet to convert and control a few of their old ships. Ostensibly, this is to \"facilitate training\"; but in actuality, member planets do not yet entirely trust each other.
2195	Y84	First contact between the Tholians and Federation. The Tholians have no interest in suggestions for commerce and the free exchange of ideas.
2196	Y85	First contact between the Klingons and the Federation (although the Vulcans had already met them). The Klingons send diplomats to hold trade talks and discuss treaties.
		Paris-class light cruiser enters service.
2199	Y88	First Federation-Kzinti War begins with Kzinti as the aggressors. The Klingons provide the Federation with useful intelligence and tactical advice. Klingons are honored guests on Federation cruisers fighting the Kzintis.
		The Federation Council reluctantly agrees to allow member planets to keep a \"squadron\" of ships refitted with tactical warp and photon torpedoes. This legalizes the ever-expanding size of the \"training\" units set up in 2182.
2200	Y89	Kzintis make gains against the Federation, capturing several key planets.
		Klingon Prince Kerg becomes Emperor and encourages better relations with the Lyrans.
2201	Y90	Kzintis continue making gains against Federation, occupying several colonies in the coreward areas. Thousands of colonists are \"harvested\" for Kzinti victory feasts.
2202	Y91	Federation begins counteroffensive to regain territory occupied by Kzintis, and make steady progress.
		Rigel System admitted to United Federation of Planets
2203	Y92	First Federation-Kzinti War ends. The Federation frontier is reestablished in it\'s original location, creating a temporary border.
		Klingon-Tholian War begins.
2204	Y93	Extended-range drones enter service.
2206	Y95	Starfleet Marine Corps and Federation Merchant Service are formally brought under the umbrella of Starfleet Command.
2207	Y96
2211	Y100	Transporter range extended to 30,000km.
2213	Y102	The Federation Council (in an attempt to peacefully define a border) declares they will not attempt to control territory more than 4,750 parsecs away from their Primary Member Zone (i.e. Earth). Unfortunately, this limit includes territory claimed by both the Kzintis and the Klingons.
2214	Y103	A series of Klingon-Federation border incidents begin as the Klingons challenge the Federation imposed boundaries.
		Second Klingo-Kzinti War begins.
2216	Y105	Federation colony Aberdeen III (coordinates 3411) is found completely abandoned. No satisfactory explanation is ever found.
2220	Y106	Kzintis win the second Klingo-Kzinti War and regain the planets. They immediately launch an attack on the Carnivons. Sensing the weakness of the Carnivons, the Lyrans attack them as well. Over the next few years, the Carnivons are defeated decisively and annihilated. While rumors of surviving Carnivons will continue for a century, no confirmed contact is ever made and the race is presumed to be extinct.
2221	Y110	First Federation-Klingon War begins with Klingon attack on territory claimed by the Federation (Declaration of 2213).
		Federation ship is found destroyed near the Romulan border. No satisfactory explanation is ever found.
		Kzinti exterminate last of the known Carnivon hordes. A few refugees escape but are hunted down over the following decades.
2222	Y111	First Federation-Klingon War ends as the Klingons abandon their attacks and launch diplomatic protests over the new Federation border.
2223	Y112	The planet Aurora III (coordinates 2901) is colonized. It is the most coreward Federation colony at that time.
		Delta IV admitted to United Federation of Planets
2224	Y113	The Federation Council passes the Federation Defense Act, creating National Guards for each planet. These are, officially, a reserve fleet for the Star Fleet. In truth, most planets regard their Nation Guard as a defense against other Federation members. (The Federation realizes that attempting to scrap these ships is hopeless.)
		Sixteen Orion ships and 9,000 skilled crewmen mutiny and disappear.
2225	Y114
2226	Y115
2227	Y116
2228	Y117	Orion pirates are in widespread operation and begin eliminating or co-opting non-Orion pirates.
2231	Y120	Most races are able to extend the reach of their tractor beams to 20,000km and the range of their transporters to 40,000km. All races begin building base stations along their borders, replacing previous networks of haphazard types and sizes of bases.
2232	Y121
2233	Y122
2234	Y123
2235	Y124
2236	Y125	The Federation Council votes for a massive program of exploration toward the unexplored and uninhabited coreward regions. Aurora III becomes the staging area for the program. A Star Fleet base station is built there.
		Valakis, home of the Menk race, is admitted to United Federation of Planets.
2237	Y126	Constitution-class heavy cruiser begins service along Klingon border.
		Ensign Atomsk is killed in the line of duty on Carstairs.
