The 22nd Century (2101-2200)
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 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.
2105 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.
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.
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.)
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")
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
birthdate 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.")
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 Hoshio 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")
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.)
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.
2130 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)
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.)
Johnathan 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)
2134 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 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 Johnathan 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")
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. (Speculation based on her age.)
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, thinking it must have been
the rough time frame)
2143 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.
Johnathan 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 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.)
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 Hoshi Sato graduates from Starfleet.
(speculation, assumes she entered Starfleet at age 18 and did 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)
2147 Event occurs
where Jonathan Archer saves Charlie Tucker's life. (4 years before
"Unexpected" (ENT))
Klingon marauders begin bullying the inhabitants of a
desolate deuterium mining colony. (5 "seasons" before "Marauders")
2148 Charlie Tucker
eventually ends up in Orbital Engineering, building starships at Utopia
Planetia and earning a reputation as a miracle-worker of sorts.
(Speculation of date - event taken from character back story.)
Dr. Phlox last sees his second wife, Feezal. (4 years
prior to Stigma)
On Krios Prime, Kaitaama is courted by a number of men from
the various ruling families. Soon after, she ceases to have contact with
members of the opposite sex as she is selected to become the Sovereign.
(Four years prior to "Precious Cargo")
April 2148 Having now served with the Science
Directorate for some 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")
January 2150
Riann, an apothecary, first becomes aware of an
epidemic afflicting the A'kali after her brother dies from it. (18 months
before "Civilization" (ENT)
April 2150 The keel is laid
for the first warp 5 starship, the Enterprise, designated NX-01.
(speculation from "First Flight" - 5 years after Warp 2 barrier was broken by
Commander Duvall.)
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")

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. Other holdouts included the United States, Israel, Arabia,
Russia and Korea (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")
Monday,
April 13, 2151 Archer receives a call from Trip outlining the
schedule for tomorrow's inspection of Enterprise and planning to meet over
breakfast.
In February 2151, Archer is brought back in
time to this date by Daniels, who uses this relocation in time as an
opportunity to explain the reason for the destruction of the colony.
