2100 Admiral Forrest is born. (Speculation.
Assumes Admiral Forrest was 51 in "Broken Bow.")
The future Mrs. Rianna Mayweather, Travis' mother, is born
in America on Earth. (Speculation. Assumes Rianna is 53 in "Horizon")
c. 2100 This is also the era of the European
Hegemony: a loose political alliance on Earth and the beginnings of a world
government.
2102 The last time Ambassador Suval fired a weapon
prior to 2152. ("Cease Fire")
2103
Colonization of Mars.
Humanity establishes a foothold on Mars and the colonization process begins.
(year given in "The 37's", also Enterprise exploration timeline)
One of Jean-Luc Picard's ancestors is involved in this process. (Star
Trek: Generations) The very first interplanetary colonization missions
had been conducted with ships using nuclear reactors ("Borderland"),
possibly beginning in the 2060's, but this would appear to be a later,
more permanent and independent form of settlement at Mars.
The United Martian Colonies is founded at this time. It is
apparently a jurisdiction independent of any Earth government. (Star
Trek Star Charts).
At some point in the process of colonization, the
Fundamental Declaration of the Martian Colonies is made, which comes to be
known as an historic legal document which set a precedent in interstellar
law. ("Court-Martial")
The building of the E.C.S. Horizon is completed and the ship
is put into service. Travis Mayweather's grandfather is the original
captain, and the job eventually passes to his son, and then to Travis'
brother. During his time as Captain, Travis' grandfather performed five
different jobs on the Horizon at the same time, two of which were on the
bridge. (50 years before "Horizon")
The engine for the Horizon, a J Class freighter, was
designed by Zephrem Cochrane, and the rumor was that Cochrane signed the
casing of each warp reactor himself. ("Horizon")
Kolos begins serving as an advocate in Klingon court.
(fifty years before "Judgment") In his early years as an advocate,
Kolos won some 200 cases, before the warrior class began to take over the
justice system.
Also during 2103, a Vulcan science vessel surveys the 7th
planet of the Berengeria system and reports encountering winged lizards that
could breathe fire. The accuracy of the report is considered
questionable. (more than 50 years before "Bound")
2105 At twenty five years of age, the precocious
Emory Erickson begins work on what will become the transporter.
(speculation, based on "Daedalus")
The Taurean star system is briefly explored and a spaceship
is lost near there. Over the next 164 years, a ship will disappear in this
region exactly every 27.346 years. ("The Lorelei Signal" - TAS)
Eight women are brutally knifed to death by an unknown
assailant in the Martian Colonies. ("Wolf in the Fold" - date given.)
2108 A possible date for the death of Mestral, one
of the Vulcans who was involved in first contact with the people of Earth in
March 1958. (150 years after first contact, "Carbon Creek")
2109 A.G. Robinson, future test pilot, is born.
(speculation based on "First Flight")
2110 By this point, some 60 years after World War
Three, war has been almost completely ended on the Earth and disease and
crime are much diminished. The Enterprise crew is born into this almost
ideal Earth and are raised to believe all things are possible.
At twenty five years of age, the precocious Emory Erickson
begins work on what will become the transporter. (speculation, based on
"Daedalus") He is a colleague of both Henry Archer and of Zephrem
Cochrane. ("Daedalus")
October 9, 2110 Jonathan Archer is born in San
Francisco on Earth. He is born and raised as an explorer. His father is
Henry Archer, the famous warp engineer.
Speculation. Assumes Archer was 41 in "Broken Bow" and 11 in the
flashback sequences. Birthday is from the birthdate of the actor: Scott
Bakula was born on October 9, 1954. Note: Scott Bakula was 46 at the time of
the filming of "Broken Bow". Again, making some assumptions about age,
Jonathan's father Henry would have been 24 at this time.
And, like all his Mirror counterparts, Jonathan Archer of the Mirror
Universe is born at the same time as his normal universe twin. ("In a
Mirror Darkly, parts one and two")
2111 The process of stamping out the last remnants of
war, crime, poverty and hunger on Earth begins. (40 years before "Broken
Bow") By 2150 the task has been largely achieved.
2112 The Andorians make an incursion into Vulcan
space, an event which is somehow connected to the status of Raytan.
("Cease Fire")
At the age of twenty, Dr. Phlox serves as a medic with the
Denoblian infantry. (Speculation - Phlox's service with the infantry is
not given a specific date - "Cease Fire")
2113
Having learned the lessons of the last World War, the first united Earth
government is established. Australia is the only nation that declines
membership. (sources: Star Trek Chronology, Star Trek: First Contact,
Enterprise exploration timeline, Star Trek Star Charts. 50 years after
Cochrane's first flight.)
In the Mirror Universe, it would seem clear that having
learned the lessons of the last war, a ruthless global government has now
been firmly established on Earth, with the Emperor as its head. (speculation
from "In a Mirror Darkly, parts one and two")
Also around this time, the Klingon justice system begins to
change as the warrior class comes to have greater influence over all aspects
of Klingon life. Soon, the Klingon Empire begins to develop a much more
aggressive stance and works to expand its boundaries. (speculation
based on "Judgment")
2114 Dr. Phlox begins working as a medical
physician. (40 years prior to "Damage")
October 9, 2118 Jonathan Archer's eighth
birthday. He receives as a gift his first astronomy book, which has a
picture of the Arachnid Nebula on its cover. He would get to explore this
nebula in November 2151. ("Fusion", birthday taken from birth date of
Scott Bakula)
2119 The Warp 5 Complex is established to create technology that
will allow humans to safely explore deep space. Zefram Cochrane is present
during the groundbreaking ceremony. ("Broken Bow") Henry Archer,
Jonathan Archer's father, is second only to Cochrane in his importance to
this program. ("Singularity") The Warp Five program would
eventually come under the jurisdiction of the new entity, Starfleet, working
in conjunction with the Vulcan Advisory Council. ("First Flight")
Zephrem Cochrane, now 87 years of age and a resident of the
Alpha Centauri system, soon takes off for "parts unknown." He takes a one
man vessel on a trip, and is never seen from again. Rumors surround his
departure, and some believe he was setting out to test a new warp capable
vehicle. ("Future Tense") Cochrane's disappearance became the most
famous missing persons case in history. ("Future Tense",
Cochrane disappeared approximately 150 years prior to "Metamorphosis"
(2267), specific date from Enterprise exploration timeline. )
After an exhaustive search, it is believed that Zephrem
Cochrane must have died. But instead, he was found adrift in space by "The
Companion," a noncorporeal, cloudlike entity of a feminine nature. She
brought Cochrane to a planet in Gamma Canaris system, where she used her
abilities to restore Cochrane's youth and keep him from aging.
Cochrane lived another 150 years on Gamma Canaris before
encountering the crew of the Enterprise shuttlecraft Galileo
in 2267. ("Metamorphosis")
Also in 2119 Charlie 'Trip' Tucker III is born in
Florida in the United States on Earth.
Date is speculation. Assumes Tucker is 32 in "Broken Bow." Trip
says he grew up in a "place like this" in "Precious Cargo" - meaning Florida
everglades.
The future Major Hayes is born in the United States on Earth.
(speculation - Hayes indicated he attended Westpoint in "Hatchery" which may
suggests he is an American. The actor who plays Hayes is actually older
than Scott Bakula, but the character of Hayes seems much younger.)
2120 Vulcan Ambassador Sorval is first stationed on Earth.
(speculation from "Broken Bow")
c.
2120 The S.S. Enterprise, a warp 3.2 capable passenger liner of the
Declaration Class sets out on its maiden voyage. (date speculation. A
picture of the S.S. Enterprise appears in the Rec Deck of the USS Enterprise
in Star Trek - The Motion Picture. Other references: Star Trek Maps, Star
Trek Spaceflight Chronology, Star Trek Communicator magazine.)
2121 As a boy, Jonathan Archer takes a deep
interest in space travel. He makes a working model of a Starfleet ship with
his father during this year, and successfully learns to fly it.
30 years prior to "Broken Bow" (ENT).
2121 Travis Mayweather's father takes command of the E.C.S.
Horizon at the age of 23. His wife Rianna, who comes to be both the ship's
medic and Chief Engineer, supports him through this difficult time. It is
unclear why he was thrust into command at such a young age - but it may have
been because Travis' grandfather had passed away after captaining the ship
for some 18 years. (speculation based on "Horizon" - Travis' father was
one year younger than Paul Mayweather was when he took command in 2152)
2122 Malcolm Reed is born in the United Kingdom on
Earth.
(Speculation. Assumes Reed is 29 in
"Broken Bow.")
And, also in 2122, T'Pau is born. (32 years prior to
"The Forge.")
Also in 2122, as part of the process of working together with the planet
Agoran, the Ministry of Security on Vulcan begins dispatching agents to
infiltrate the criminal elements of Agoran, and in so doing put an end to
corruption. In all, 109 agents would be dispatched. Ultimately, seven of
these agents would become beguiled by the corruption on Agoran and refuse to
return to Vulcan when the mission was over, instead opting for a life of
crime as smugglers. (30 years before "The Seventh" - Note: T'Pol
indicates she was too young to be given this assignment at the time ("I'm
not that old Captain"), which would tend to mitigate against the
earlier assumption of this timeline that she was born in 2086, which would
make her 36 at this time.)
2123 Hoshi Sato is born in Japan on Earth.
Speculation. Assumes Sato is 28 in "Broken Bow."
Trip Tucker's baby sister Elizabeth is born in Florida. She is Trip's
only sibling. She would be killed in the Xindi attack of April 2153.
(speculation from "The Expanse", we know she is Trip's only sibling from
"The Xindi")
Trip is four years of age, which is the age that Sim, the clone of
Tucker, was when he was being read to. ("Similitude")
Amanda Cole is born in Florida on Earth. (speculation - Amanda is
roughly the same age as Trip, but it is suggested she is slightly younger
than him)
November 27, 2123 A privately-funded ship,
the Mariposa, departs Earth carrying two groups of colonists bound
for the Ficus sector and the two planets selected as their new homelands.
(sources: "Up the Long Ladder." (TNG), Enterprise exploration timeline
) From the information on the view screen in "Up the Long Ladder",
it is clear that the vessel is a DY-500 class vessel, similar in appearance
to the DY-100 class ("Space Seed").
From the listing that Data peruses of ships that left Earth
around this time, it is clear that space travel has become a regular
occurrence. ("Up the Long Ladder".)
2125 Y-500 Class vessels (presumably inclusive of
the DY-500) are decommissioned and are no longer in service. (Date is
speculation. Y-500 vessels are revealed to have been out of service "for
decades" in "Strange New World")
2126 Travis Mayweather is born halfway between
Dralax and Vega Colony. His childhood is spent in space, and he is raised
on a series of cargo ships.
Travis grew up on the J-Class Freighter E.C.S. Horizon, which he
described in "Fortunate Son" as a little smaller than a Y-Class, but with
the same basic design. He commented that at Warp 1.8 there's "a lot of time
between ports" and it was during such a time that he was conceived.
Even as a child, Travis is groomed by his father to one day Captain the
Horizon.
(Travis is noted as being 26 in "Dead Stop." Events taken from
character back story, "Fortunate Son," and "Horizon." In the original
backstory, it indicated Travis was born "during a two year run
somewhere between Alpha Centauri and Arcturis Prime.")
Also in 2126, Liana is born on the Katare home world. (Trip
speculates Liana may have been 4 years old when her ship crashed. "Oasis")
2127 At age eight or nine, Trip spends some
time picking up leaves with his Dad. ("The Crossing") Age eight
was also the age that Sim, the clone of Tucker, was when he was playing with
the remote control shuttle. ("Similitude")
2128 At age 42, T'Pol undergoes a dental procedure. (23 years
before "Dear Doctor")
Travis' younger brother Paul Mayweather is born aboard the J Class
freigher Horizon. (speculation based on "Horizon")
c. 2129 Invention of the Transporter.
At around age 10, Trip Tucker is enamored by tales of the invention of the
transporter. His admiration of Emory Erickson and his work is one of the
key reasons that Trip ends up becoming an engineer. (dates are
speculation based on "Daedalus" - Emory Erickson would have been about 44
years old at this point)
2130 A Kantare ship, commanded by Captain Kulann, encounters a
severe ion storm. Damage done during the storm results in a plasma leak,
explosive decompression, and the ship ultimately crashes on a remote
planet. Only the ship's Chief Engineer, Ezral, and his daughter, Liana
survive the crash. (22 years before "Oasis")
2131 At age 12, Trip Tucker goes to his first dance at Bayshore
Elementary in Panama City, Florida. Ever after, he regrets not asking a
certain girl to dance. ("more than 20 years" before "Fusion")
T'Pol enters her training program with the Ministry of Security on
Vulcan. (Speculation. Assumes a four year program, similar to a
degree in Criminology.)
c. 2131 The tenth and last Space Ark, Terra 10, is launched
complete with early transporter technology. Of all ten generation ships,
only the passengers of this last ship will survive. Shortly after this, the
Interstat code that they made use of becomes outdated. ( "The Terratin
Incident." (TAS) establishes that this mission happened around 2069,
approximately 200 years before the episode took place. I have moved this
event to c. 2131 to be consistent with later information from "Daedalus,"
concerning the invention of the transporter, as well as to be consistent
with the established date of the Conestoga's voyage as the first colony
ship. The previous 9 Terra ships would perhaps have been launched within
the previous decade or so.)
2132 Starfleet is formed.
It's charter, to "boldly go where no man has gone before." (sources:
conjecture, based on date that Jonathan Archer joined Starfleet Academy,
noted below. Also, in some promotional material, it was noted that Starfleet
is less than 20 years old at the start of Enterprise. Charter phrasing from
Star Trek Encyclopedia p.690)
Part of Starfleet's original charter was the little known Section 31,
which allowed for extraordinary measures in the event of a threat on Earth.
("Divergence"). The inclusion of this authority soon results in the
creation of a secretive, black ops division of Starfleet that eventually
comes to be known simply as "Section 31." Section 31 emerges as an
autonomous group concerned with searching out, identifying, and quietly
dealing with potential dangers to the Earth. Members of this organization
defy the principles of the Earth (and later the Federation) in order to
protect them, which is one of the reasons why Section 31 is not officially
sanctioned by Starfleet and its very existence is not acknowledged openly.
("Inquisition," "Inter Arma Enim
Silent Leges")
The S.S. Bonaventure , galactic survey cruiser is launched. The
Bonaventure will mysteriously disappear on her third voyage, and her
hulk will be found in 2269 in the alternate universe of Elysia. ( "The
Time Trap" (TAS), Date is conjecture. In the episode Scotty said "Captain,
there's the old Bonaventure. She was the first ship to have warp drive
installed." However, given the ship's markings, I prefer to think Scotty was
referring to the first Starfleet ship to have
warp drive installed.)
Jonathan Archer begins training in a four year program (is he in
Starfleet, or perhaps the Air Force?) that will result in his graduating
from flight school in 2134. (speculation from "Twilight" - tradition of
four year program mentioned in other Star Trek)
As part of Starfleet's operations, orbital platforms such as Yosemite are
built. ("Zero Hour")
Starfleet was likely formed years earlier in the Mirror Universe,
possibly at the time the Empire was founded. (speculation from "In a
Mirror Darkly, parts one and two")
Also in 2132 Baseball great Buck Bokai dies. ("If
Wishes Were Horses" (DS9))
Archer takes a trip to East Africa, and at one point observes the birth
of a baby gazelle. (Age 22 - Archer said he was in his early twenties -
"Shockwave - Part II")
Archer considers joining the merchant fleet and signing aboard a
freighter, in a series of events that constitute what Archer calls a "long
story." (Prior to Starfleet's formation - "Horizon")
Also in 2132, the Paraagan mining colony is established. (20 years
prior to "Shockwave")
A second spaceship disappears in the Taurean region of space, never to be
heard from again. ("The Lorelei Signal")
About this time, Trip Tucker begins attending High School in Florida.
His high school is a rival with the high school that Amanda Cole is
attending at about the same time, and the two visit the same movie theater
during this time in their lives, unaware of the other. ("Harbinger")
2133 A Klingon ship emerges from the Delphic Expanse. The crew
had been anatomically inverted and was still alive. Memory of this event
prevents Klingons from daring to enter this region of space. (20
years before "The Expanse")
Bajoran religious leader Kai Taluno, while traveling in the Denorios
Belt, experiences a serious malfunction of his spacecraft and is stranded
for several days. Taluno reports having experienced a vision in which "the
heavens opened up," nearly swallowing his ship. The Denorios Belt, located
in the Bajor system, is the location where at least five of the Bajorans'
Tears of the Prophets were found. "The Emissary" (DS9) Dax said Taluno's
vision was sometime during the 22nd century, and this date is purely
conjectural.
2134
Arik Soong takes a series of genetically engineered embryos from Cold
Station 12. He takes the embryos to a planet into the Trialis system to
raise them. This planet is located between the Orion Syndicate and the
Klingon Empire. (20 years before "Borderland")
At age 24, Johnathan Archer graduates from Flight School. He proposes
marriage to his classmate and girlfriend, Margaret Muller, but she turns him
down saying she does not wish to become a "Starfleet widow."
("Twilight" - age given as 24)
Vulcan finally forms an alliance with the planet Agoran. The agents
assigned to infiltrate the corrupt elements of Agoran society are recalled.
All but seven return. (Speculation of date, based on "The Seventh")
2135 At age 25, Jonathan Archer joins Starfleet. (From
character back story. Archer has served with Starfleet "about 15 years" by
the time of "Broken Bow.")
After graduating from her training with the Ministry of Security on
Vulcan, T'Pol is given an assignment to track down and apprehend seven
former Vulcan agents who have become corrupted during their assignment on
Agoran. T'Pol is extremely successful, and apprehends five of the agents,
returning them to Vulcan for rehabilitation. However, T'Pol suffers a
severe setback while in the tropics of Risa pursuing the last two suspects,
Josin and Menos, on foot. During the pursuit, Josin falls, and T'Pol sees
Josin reach for what she believes is a weapon. She shoots and kills Josin
with an energy weapon, and is immediately overcome by great anguish. Menos
escapes. The guilt of killing Josin would force to T'Pol to leave the
Ministry of Security and seek guidance at the monastery on P'Jem. (17
years prior to "The Seventh")
In grade 10, Charlie "Trip" Tucker encounters his first Vulcan - Mr.
Velik. Velik was sent to Earth as part of a cultural exchange, and serves as
a teacher in Trip's Florida high school. One notable quote that Trip
remembers from Mr. Velik is "challenge your preconceptions, or they will
challenge you." ("Strange New World" - date is speculation based on
Trip's approximate age)
At the age of 16, Trip gets his driver's license, and not soon after gets
his first car. One of his favorite pastimes is to take his car and drive to
Chatkin Point at night with his girlfriend, where they would watch the
moon. ("Precious Cargo") Note, Trip's car is probably a hover car,
and not an automobile.
2136 T'Pol continues her work with a Vulcan elder on
P'Jem, trying to work through the tremendous guilt she had after killing
Josin. After three months of guidance, the elder decides the only way to
resolve the problem is to use an ancient Vulcan technique, the valara, to
strip T'Pol of not only her emotions concerning the event, but also her
memories as well. The ritual complete, T'Pol leaves the monastery, with no
memories of the seventh suspect she was pursuing. She would remain
oblivious to this chapter in her personal history until an assignment was
given her to capture Menos, Josin's partner, while she was serving on the
Enterprise in June 2152. (a few months after the conclusion of her
mission in 2135, "The Seventh")
Captain Vannick begins serving in the Vulcan Space Fleet aboard the T'Mur.
(15 years before "Breaking the Ice")
Trip is seventeen years of age, which is the age that Sim, the clone of
Tucker, was when he first asked T'Pol to dinner. ("Similitude")
2137 T'Pol begins her work with the Vulcan Science
Directorate. (Speculation based upon "The Seventh")
2138 Charlie Tucker spends his youth working on an
ocean reclamation project in the Florida Keys. At one point, he would
encounter a hurricane.
(Speculation of date - event taken from character back story.
Hurricane mentioned in "Strange New World.")
2139
During a experiment involving a new technology, the quantum transporter,
Emory Erickson's son Quinn volunteers to test the device. Emory had
invented the transporter some years earlier, and while still at a relatively
young age (possibly 54) wanted to top his earlier achievement. This zeal
prevented him from considering the risks properly, and Quinn's signal was
lost. Quinn would continue in this non-existence, and Emory would work to
try and save Quinn until the events of "Daedalus" fifteen years later.
(15 years prior to "Daedalus")
At around the age of 20, Charlie "Trip" Tucker joins Starfleet and moves
to San Francisco. He lives in Sausalito, a suburb of San Francisco, a few
blocks away from the Vulcan Compound. (12 years before "Unexpected" ENT))
The last time the leader of the Denoblian geological survey had seen
samples as good as the ones he found on Zantous in 2153. (14 years
prior to "The Breach")
2140 Jonathan Archer completes his initial four years of
Starfleet training (speculation, assumes four year program - Archer may
have completed this earlier). He had been planning to get married to
his girlfriend at the time, but she did not wish to become a "Starfleet
widow" and broke off their relationship. (T'Pol relates this story in
"Twilight")
Somewhere in here it is likely that Henry Archer, Jonathan Archer's
father passed away. Archer comments in "Broken Bow" that he wished his Dad
had lived to see the advent of the Enterprise embarking on its mission.
Prior to his death, Henry Archer had designed the engine for the NX program
- which was put together by Starfleet to try and break the Warp 2 barrier.
(date is speculation based on "Broken Bow" and "First Flight") We
also know that Henry Archer was around to allay Johnathan Archer's fears
when undergoing a flight test, which would seem to be part of the younger
Archer's Starfleet training. ("Daedalus")
Malcolm Reed joins Starfleet (speculation. assumes Malcolm joined at age
18)
The Great Plume of Agosoria erupts. The Plume is a protostar which gives
out a neutron blast every 11 years. ("Cold Front")
Rough time period of Travis Mayweather's Boomer ghost story in "Strange
New World." (speculation - ten years prior to episode.)
2141 At age 18, Hoshi Sato joins Starfleet and begins
training - which involves extensive linguistic studies. She does not get
along with her commanding officer, and is kicked out after a poker game she
was running was discovered and in the process she struck her c.o. (Date
is speculation based on her age, Hoshi related being kicked out of training
in "Observer Effect".)
While in Starfleet Academy, Malcolm Reed has an unfortunate gastro-intenstinal
episode during extra-vehicular (EV) training. The episode is noted
in his medical records. (Speculation of date - from "The Catwalk")
According to his sister, Malcolm Reed spends one week living without food
around this time. ("Silent Enemy" - "at least" ten years prior to
episode).
Around this time was when the Vulcan Kov, who had determined to explore
his emotions, had a falling out with his father. (Ten years before
"Fusion")
2142 Archer's girlfriend Caroline moves to New Berlin on
the Moon. (speculation from "First Flight")
Starfleet conducts a series of tests on the new transporter technology.
(A date of May 2142 was given in "Vanishing Point" for a failed test
involving the ill fated Cyrus Ramsay.. but this was for an event
which was part of Hoshi's transporter delusion, and that never really
happened. Nevertheless, I put the date in here, and later information in "Daedalus
demonstrated that this was the period where the transporter was being
tested.)
2143
Airk Soong continues to teach the Augments he is raising in the Trialis
System. A scene of this is shown at the opening of "Cold Station 12."
The year of Malcolm Reed's most recent family reunion as of January 2153.
(almost ten years before "Horizon")
The last time that Dr. Phlox spoke with his son, who had differed with
his father on many things, including the relationship Denoblians should have
with Antarans. (10 years prior to "The Breach")
Charlie Tucker graduates from Starfleet this year. (assumes four year
program) He is assigned to the NX program as an engineer.
August
2143 Events depicted in the flashback sequences of "First Flight"
The NX program, which has worked to design and test a vessel capable of
breaking the Warp 2 barrier, is reaching its climax as the test pilot for
the first flight is chosen.
Jonathan Archer, one of four commanders in the program who hopes to pilot
the craft is disappointed when he is passed over for the job which instead
goes to A.G. Robinson.
In the test, Robinson successfully breaks the Warp 2 barrier, but the
craft is lost, and Robinson barely manages to eject in time to save his
life.
The Vulcan Advisory Council is not impressed, and they demand that the
program be stopped for the time being. They also call into question the
engine design, an engine design dear to Commander Archer, as it is the one
that his father had engineered prior to his death.
Determined to prove the Vulcans and Starfleet wrong, Archer and Robinson
team up and steal the NX-Beta test ship to try and again break the Warp 2
barrier. They succeed in their attempt, and manage to maintain a steady
velocity of Warp 2.5
Returning to San Francisco to face punishment for stealing the second
ship, Archer and Robinson manage to convince Commodore Forrest of the merits
of their test, and the two are able to escape court martial and are instead
grounded for three months.
The Vulcan Advisory Council has the NX program begin a series of
simulations and tests.
It was during this time that Charlie Tucker and Jonathan Archer first
met.
(Events taken from "First Flight - month is speculation, but we know
the year from "Unexpected", which stated that Archer and Trip met for the
first time eight years prior to that episode - the Enterprise exploration
timeline would later put this episode at "c. 2143, which for once agreed
with my estimate)
September 2143 About now in his time at Starfleet, "Trip"
Tucker travels to Alice Springs in Australia to do survival training.
Jonathan Archer also participates. (Date is speculation, based to a
certain extent on "First Flight". Trip talks about this event in "Vanishing
Point," in a sequence that is part of Hoshi's transporter delusion - I am
assuming that she imagined Trip repeating a story he had earlier related)
October 2143 While on Titan as part of the Omega Training Mission
with Captain Archer, Charlie "Trip" Tucker encounters problems while on an
extra vehicular (EV) exercise. His EV pack freezes up and he experiences
nitrogen narcosis. Archer convinces Trip not to remove his helmet while in
the vacuum. (Speculation of date - assumption made that this happened
before Trip was assigned to Utopia Planetia, and after he met Archer.)
November 2143 Robinson and Archer are permitted to fly
again, after three months of being grounded. (speculation from "First
Flight")
2144 Arik Soong is captured, but the fate of the embryos he
stole from Cold Station 12 is unknown. In fact, the embryos have developed
into children, who are now 10 years of age, and living on a planet in the
Trialis system. ("Borderland")
The ship Vortlis, under the command of Captain Tavin, leaves Vulcan to
begin a voyage of self discovery. (Eight years before "Fusion.")
Malcolm Reed graduates from Starfleet. (speculation, assumes he
entered Starfleet at age 18 and did a four year program.) As a young
Ensign, he is recruited by Section 31, and works on a series of covert ops
for his contact, Harris, over the next six years or so. ("Divergence")
The Cabal, an organized group of militant Suliban emerges, and begins its
series of attacks on Tandara and other planets near to concentrations of
Suliban refugees. (8 years prior to "Detained")
Shortly after this point, the Cabal become involved in the Temporal Cold
War, receiving orders from a strange figure from the future.
One of the two elder insectoid Xindi that the crew of the Enterprise
discovers dead, is born during this year. (10 years before "Hatchery")
August 2144 After a year of testing, the Vulcans are finally
convinced of the viability of the NX design, and the NX program resumes
preparations for test flights. (speculation, one year after tests began,
"First Flight")
March 2145 Commander Duvall is selected to fly the NX-Delta
in the next test flight.
April 2145 Duvall, a close friend of Archer's, breaks the Warp 2
barrier in the test ship NX-Delta. He reaches a speed of Warp 3, and goes
down in history, setting the groundwork for Starfleet's next big project:
the Warp 5 starship. (date is speculation from "First Flight" - 8 months
after the testing regime completed, and 5 years before the keel was laid for
the Enterprise)
Where it took the Vulcans 100 years to break the Warp 2 barrier, the
people of Earth completed the task in 82 years. ("First Flight", Star
Trek - First Contact)
2145 Likely date of the trial of Arik Soong, which Trip remembers.
2146 Hoshi Sato graduates from Starfleet. (speculation,
based to some extent on "Observer Effect". Assumes she entered Starfleet at
age 18, was kicked out for a year, and then was able to complete a four year
program.)
2146 Now that the Suliban Cabal is secretly involved in
the Temporal Cold War, other factions begin to develop within the 22nd
century Alpha Quadrant. Sometime in this period, the Tholians become
aligned with a faction.
("Future Tense" - date is speculative)

11 years, Sub-Commander T'Pol begins her one year of service aboard the
Vulcan ship Seleya under Captain Voris. She serves as Science Officer.
(Extrapolation based on "Impulse")
c. 2149 Sometime during this century, Rasmussen, of New Jersey,
will steal a time travel capsule from a 26th Century researcher. He will use
it to travel to the "Enterprise" in 2368 and attempt to steal items to
profit from during his return to this century, but will be apprehended. The
capsule will return to this era unmanned as programmed. ("A Matter of
Time" - year is conjecture)
2149 Garos, an explorer from the Mallurian system, leads a
survey mission to study the A'kali. His team had no plans to remain on the
planet, but after a few months he claims he found himself quite taken with
the A'kali and decided to stay. His mining project begins soon after.
(2 years prior to "Civilization" (ENT)
Miners on a desolate colony that is being controlled by Klingon marauders
stand up and fight back only to lose three colonists in battle and two more
to subsequent execution. (Three "seasons" before "Marauders")
January 2149 Travis has a conversation with his mother about
how he is considering joining Starfleet.
Not long after, Travis Mayweather leaves the J-Class freighter "Horizon,"
his home since birth, to go to Earth and join Starfleet. His parents,
particularly his father, are opposed to his decision. He would
travel to San Francisco to start his training. While there, he would have
his first taste of real strawberry shortcake and would discover it didn't
taste quite right to him, after years of eating freeze dried food.
(Four years prior to "Horizon", other details in "Fortunate Son")
April 2149 Having wound up her year of service aboard the
Seleya, Sub Commander T'Pol comes to Earth to work at the Vulcan compound in
Sausalito. (2 years, 7 months prior to "Fusion", we know the Seleya was
her previous assignment from "Impulse")
Later in 2149 One night, after everyone else is
asleep, T'Pol sneaks out of the Vulcan compound and explores San Francisco
by foot. She ends up at a restarant where jazz music is being played, and
experiences emotions including "exhilaration". (date conjecture, event
depicted in dream sequence and mild meld in "Fusion")
Also later in 2149, Travis bids an emotional farewell to his
family. He will not see them again for four years, and his father would die
before he had a chance to return. Travis' father is outwardly disapproving,
having groomed Travis to become Captain of the Horizon, but inwardly he is
very proud. Travis and his father communicate very little over the course
of the next four years. Paul, Travis' younger brother feels somewhat
abandoned, while Rianna, Travis' mother is very supportive. ("Horizon")

Spring 2150 Captain Archer begins the crew selection for the
Enterprise, the first warp 5 starship which is to be launched in about a
year. (speculation based on "Horizon")
July 2150 About now in his time at Starfleet, Travis
Mayweather travels to Death Valley, California to do survival training.
(Date is speculation, but it was mentioned that it was in July. Travis
talks about this in "Vanishing Point," in a sequence that is part of Hoshi's
transporter delusion - I am assuming that she imagined Travis repeating a
story he had earlier related)
At around this time, Captain Archer is having difficulty selecting a
helmsmen for the Enterprise. To help him decide, he contacts each of the
previous commanding officers of each of the candidates he is considering.
One candidate is Travis Mayweather, so he contacts Travis' father aboard the
E.C.S. Horizon. The response is a one sentence evaluation "I've never met a
more natural stick and rudder man and you'd be a fool if you don't choose
him." (2 and a half years before "Horizon")
August 2150 Dr. Phlox, a Denoblian, comes to Earth as part
of a the Interplanetary Medical Exchange program, sponsored by the Vulcans.
While on Earth for the next nine months, he makes it a point to study a
number of Earth religions. He studies Hinduism, spends two weeks at a
Tibetan monastery, attends Mass at Saint Peter's Square and is allowed to
attend the Tal-Shanar at the Vulcan consulate. ("Cold Front," "A Night
in Sickbay." 9 months on Earth is mentioned in "Vanishing Point" in Hoshi's
transporter delusion).
2150 Jonathan Archer is informed him that
the dog belonging to his ex-girlfriend's mom, which is a female beagle, is
pregnant. Upon the birth of the litter, Archer selects a puppy for
adoption. Six weeks later, the young beagle, who has been named Porthos,
goes to live with Archer. (date is speculation, events from "A Night in
Sickbay")
Australia, the last holdout, joins the United Earth
government. (sources: Enterprise exploration timeline on Official Web
Site, Star Trek Chronology, "Attached." (TNG).)
Also in 2150, T'Pol goes on a 5 day vacation and visits
Yellowstone, the Carlsbad Canyon, and Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania.
(Carbon Creek, date is speculative)
Around this time, the Founders begin seeding the galaxy with
100 infant changelings who are mandated to explore and then later come back
to the Link to report on their findings. Laas and Odo are both part of
these one hundred. (speculation based on "Chimera" - Laas first
assumed human form around 2175)
Early 2151 Travis Mayweather graduates from
Starfleet, his space experience allowing him to complete the training in
record time, having been in the Academy for only about two years.
(speculation, based on the program usually taking 4 years.)
A transporter device is installed aboard the Enterprise.
Starfleet technicians assure Captain Archer that it is safe for the
transportation of bio-matter. ("Broken Bow," "Vanishing Point")
