| Jan. 6 | A fifth Dominion convoy comes into the Alpha Quadrant via the Bajoran Wormhole.
(DS9: "Call to Arms") |
| Jan. 8 | Starfleet
begins to lay a minefield at the entrance to the Bajoran wormhole. The
plan is to prevent any further Dominion reinforcements from entering
the Alpha Quadrant. The Dominion attempts to negotiate the removal of the minefield; but Starfleet refuses to budge.
(DS9: "Call to Arms")

| Jan. 9 | Bajor
signs a non-aggression treaty with the Dominion, thus keeping them out
of the coming war. All Bajorans are evacuated from Deep
Space Nine. (DS9: "Call to Arms") |
| Jan. 10 | A
Dominion fleet attacks Deep Space Nine. Reported ships include one
Dominion battle cruiser, three Cardassian Galor-class vessels, and
about 25 Jem'Hadar fighters. Deep Space 9 is able to hold off the
assault long enough for the wormhole minefield to be activated. With
Dominion reinforcements entering the Bajor system, Captain Sisko orders
all Federation personnel evacuate the station. The Dominion allow them
to leave, and then take control of Deep Space 9, redesignating it Terok
Nor. The Dominion War begins.
Starfleet
estimates the Dominion casualties during this attack to be about 500.
Deep Space 9 casualties are minimal. Eleven Jem'Hadar fighters and one
Cardassian Hideki-class attack ship are lost in the attack. A
Cardassian Galor is severely damaged.
During
the Dominion attack on Deep Space Nine, a joint force of Klingon ships and Federation ships from the Second Fleet
crosses the border into Cardassian space, destroying the Dominion
shipyards on Torros III. (DS9: "Call to Arms") |

Miller scores 13 points, Luca Dillon scores another 10 in the end zone,
and late-game entry, Elberto Martini, scores seven in the form of a
swish from the top of the pyramid. The last time Minsk and Starfleet
Academy met in a parrises squares championship
tournament was exactly fifty years ago. The Academy team won that match
as well.

129 is destroyed by a swift and sudden Dominion assault. The remains of
Starfleet's Fourth Fleet are at this starbase following the attack on
March 18th. The starbase and the remains of the Fourth Fleet are wiped
out. 5,600 Starfleet personnel are lost. The only survivors are the USS Nova (Nova-class), and the USS
Bunker Hill (Akira-class).
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| April 2 | The
Dominion fleet that destroyed Starbase 129, destroys Starbase 214
further within Federation territory. Talarian freighters operating in
the area discover the invasion fleet, and alert Starfleet prior to
the attack, however, vessels are unable to engage the fleet before it
destroys the border starbase. All hands are lost in the attack,
as well as any vessels in port at the time (about 1,700 Starfleet personnel). The Dominion fleet returns
to Cardassian space.

Dominion from pushing further into Federation territory. Over 100 ships
are part of this fleet. Starfleet is confident this attack will be able
to deal a major blow to the Dominion.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| April 8 | The
Federation and Klingons are losing the Dominion War. Staggering defeats
have been occuring frequently in the last three
months. The Second Fleet has been reduced to a third of it's original
size; 14,500 Starfleet and 7,100 Klingon personnel have been lost. Some of the fleet ships to survive the relentless battles of
engage and retreat are the USS Defiant, the Klingon ship IKS Rotarran,
the USS Elkins (Elkins-class), the USS Fredrickson (Excelsior-class), the USS Raging Queen (Curry-class), and the USS
Curry (Curry-class).
(DS9:

Seventh Fleet has failed to stop the Dominion in the Tyra system. Out
of the original 112 starships in the Fleet, 98 are destroyed, including
the flagship of the fleet, the USS North Star (Excelsior-class). Only
14 ships make it
back to the Federation lines. 29,500 personnel are lost, 20,000 of
which are Starfleet. No Excelsior-class, Steamrunner-class, or
Nebula-class
vessels survived the battle.

upon Starfleet intelligence, a Klingon/Starfleet task force arrives at
Quatal in the Quatal System (a former Maquis planet in Cardassian
space; the location of a Cardassian/Jem'Hadar fleet preparing to attack
Starbase 310) and wipes out the growing Dominion fleet. The Klingons
beam down heavily armed troops, and kill the entire Jem'Hadar garrison
on the planet. Quatal becomes a Klingon-held planet. Starfleet
Intelligence suggests that the Cardassian/Dominion losses in this
attack may have been around 7,000. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

he was on was destroyed near Temecklia -- just inside neutral Tzenkethi
space. Reports indicate that the prince's ship was destroyed by a
Klingon Vor'cha-class attack cruiser, which then cloaked and vanished
from Tzenkethi space. The Tzenkethi vow revenge upon the Klingons, and
threaten to remove their neutrality, and ally themselves with the
Dominion. The Klingons, however, deny such an attack. Starfleet sends
diplomats to Tzenketh in an attempt to repair relations.

Sector near the Dominion front lines. 233 people are confirmed dead.
The bombing takes place in a busy commercial section of the faciity,
completely destroying that section. An investigation indicates that the
bomb was of Romulan origin, however, the Romulans vehemently deny any
involvement. The nature of the bombing, as well as public opinion point
to the Dominion -- specifically a Changeling -- as the cause of the
blast (using Romulan technology in an attempt to frame the Empire, and
create hostilities between the Federation and Romulans.)

Talarian Republic formally allies itself with the Federation/Klingon
alliance in the war against the Dominion. This is a surprise because
the Talarians have xenophobic tendencies and prefer to avoid outsiders.
They have, however, expressed growing disgust with the Cardassians and
Dominion vessels pressing their border while attacking nearby
Federation targets. Rather than respond to the Dominion on their own,
they choose to ally with the Federation/Klingons in the hopes that this
alliance will offer greater border security. In return, the Talarians
agree to open up their shipyards to Federation vessels -- in an area
that has recently seen the loss of two UFP starbases. The Talarian
involvement in the Dominion War will remain local to the four sectors
in which their territory resides. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

Operation Return:
One of the
greatest engagements of
the Dominion War, takes place. 614 Federation ships from the Second
Fleet (recalled from the Kotanka System), the Fifth Fleet (recalled
from fighting along the Vulcan border), and the Ninth Fleet attack a
waiting
fleet of 1,254 Dominion/Cardassian vessels. Nine initial waves of
Federation fighters prove ineffective as the Dominion holds its ground.
The two sides clash, and the massive battle descends into a frantic
melee as the Dominion forces gain the upper hand. Some of the Starfleet
vessels involved in this battle are the USS Centaur (Centaur-class),
the USS Cortez (Centaur-class),
the USS Galaxy (Galxy-class), the USS Hood (Nebula-class), the USS
Magellan (Galaxy-class), the USS Magestic (Miranda-class), the
USS Sarek (Excelsior-class), the USS Sitak (Miranda-class), and the USS
Venture (Galaxy-class). When all seems lost,
however, a Klingon fleet arrives, commanded by General Martok. They
slowly make mincemeat of the Dominion lines.
Unfortunately,
the Dominion manages to detonate the entire Federation minefield
guarding the Bajoran Wormhole. A message is sent to the Gamma Quadrant
inviting the waiting Dominion reinforcements to come through to the
Alpha Quadrant. The USS Defiant breaks through the Dominion lines and
arrives at Terok Nor in time to see the minefield come down. Desperate
to do something, Captain Sisko takes the Defiant into the wormhole to
stand ground against the invading Dominion fleet. After an unexpected
visit with the Prophets, Sisko watches as the massive Dominion fleet in
the wormhole vanishes. Nothing remains. Every ship... gone.
With
the Dominion Gamma Quadrant reinforcements gone, the USS Defiant
threatening Terok Nor, and 200 Allied ships (that have broken through
the Dominion lines) on their way to the station, the
Dominion/Cardassians evacuate Deep Space Nine, and pull all their ships
back into Cardassian territory. Dominion/Cardassian troops in Alliance
territory on other fronts are also ordered to retreat. Gul Dukat fails
to leave the station
and is captured.
(DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels" -- date assumed)
Hundreds
of Starfleet and Klingon ships are destroyed, with many more to
be salvaged in the coming months. Roughly 94,000 Starfleet personnel
are killed, while the Klingons report losing 20,000. A massive debris
field now marks the battle coordinates, which, following the Dominion
retreat, resides in Alliance territory. Thousands of individuals on
both sides are injured, drifting in escape pods, and floating in
air-tight segments of debris. In addition, hundreds, if not thousands
of surviving Cardassians, Jem'Hadar and Vorta commanders will be taken
prisoner and relocated to hastily established prison facilities on
planets in Alliance-controlled space.

template is based upon Deep Space 9's Dr. Julian Bashir.
Initially,
it is discovered that EMH designer, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman had engineered
problems into the new LMH program because he didn't want it to replace
his beloved EMH. After some negotiation, however, Starfleet agrees to
expand Zimmerman's work on the EMH project, in return for corrections
to the flawed LMH. The LMH is tested, and deemed ready for installation.

returning to the present only a few seconds after they left. Their
initial report indicates that, while they couldn't find the Changeling,
or where it arrived in the past, it had apparently integrated itself so
deeply into the timeline that removing it would have catastrophic
results on the present. Their report also mentions a few "errors in
judgement" that were "sufficiently repaired". There are no details to
further define that statement.

space. Seven Romulan Warbirds are attacked, destroyed, or under
assimilation. Starfleet ships gather on the Federation side of the
Neutral Zone and stand ready to assist. However, the Romulan government
refuses to grant them permission to enter Romulan territory, preferring
instead to handle this Borg invasion on their own. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Sept. 2 | The
Borg cube in Romulan space destroys the colony in the T'Met System. The
entire settlement is scooped up, just like the Federation colony on
Jouret in 2367. In addition, two Warbirds that engaged the Borg cube
have been assimilated. A second Romulan colony world in the same
vacinity is also assimilated/destroyed. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy)
Later
in the day, the Romulans manage to destroy one of the two assimilated
Warbirds, but the second disappears. In addition, the Borg cube attacks
a third planet, and destroys another fleet of ships sent to destroy it.
Starfleet/Klingon ships stand ready to assist along the Neutral Zone,
but continue to be denied access into Romulan space.

| Sept. 3 | A
task force of Starfleet/Klingon vessels destroy the Cardassian
shipyards on Tilzak III. Casualties are moderate, and all surviving
vessels return safely to Federation space. Without that shipyards,
Dominion/Cardassian reinforcements in the Almatha Sector are notably
reduced.

| Sept. 5 | A
third Romulan fleet engages the Borg cube invading their space.
Twenty-four ships are lost in the battle, each one ripped apart with
relative ease. The Borg are able to target the Romulan vessels, despite their
cloaking devices. The cube, while heavily damaged, survives the battle.
Many Romulan survivors are abducted and assimilated. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy)
The
Romulan government continues to deny Alliance vessels access into
Romulan space to assist in destroying the Borg threat. Romulan senators are in strong disagreement over the
issue of Federation involvement, many of whom are disgusted by the
resistence to outside help.

| Sept. 7 | The
USS Enterprise-E is assigned to the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain
Picard is given command of the Alliance task force, in the event that
the Romulans request Starfleet assistance in their defense against the
Borg. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Sept. 9 | Two
Dominion Changelings are discovered and exposed within the Romulan
government. One was impersonating Praetor Sarna, the other, Proconsul
Neral. Both infiltrators have been influencing Romulan politics
(including the unexpected Borg invasion) to weaken the Romulan Star
Empire. The Romulan Senate is in disarray following this turn of
events, but a temporary government is put into place. The
temporary government grants permission for the Starfleet/Klingon ships
waiting near the Neutral Zone to enter into Romulan space.

| Sept. 11 | A
joint Starfleet/Klingon/Romulan fleet destroys the Borg cube invading
Romulan space. Nine Romulan starships are lost (three of them are
Warbirds), six Klingon vessels are destroyed, and five Federation ships
are lost: the USS Oklahoma (Miranda-class), the USS Obama (Ambassador-class), the USS Hercules (Yorkshire-class),
the USS Vulcan (Excelsior-class), and the USS Maxwell (Mediterranean-class). The USS Enterprise-E suffers
damage requiring repair work in a Starfleet shipyard, as well as 59
casualties, 18 of whom are deaths. Total Starfleet casualties are estimated to be around 1,550. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Sept. 18 | The
Intrepid-class USS Japan is destroyed in a battle with Cardassians
along the front lines of the Dominion War. A portion of her crew
survives in escape pods. The USS Voyager, however, is captured and
commandeered by the Cardassians. A number of her crew are still onboard
when the ship is taken. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Sept. 19 | Captain
Kathryn Janeway and her captured crew manage to retake control of the
USS Voyager (with the help of a few individuals from the Cardassian
underground), and fight their way out of Cardassian/Dominion territory.
The USS Voyager is escorted safely back across the border by a small
task force of Alliance vessels. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Sept. 20 | The
Romulans find the body of the real Praetor Sarna. In addition, within
the last few days, the real Proconsul Neral was returned to Romulus by
a multi-species group that recently escaped from a Cardassian prison
camp. Neral, though badly abused by his prison guards, is in stable
condition. He will require minor reconstructive surgury to repair
his wounds.

| Sept. 25 | An
entire military base of Starfleet troops is destroyed and/or captured
by the Dominion on Minos Korva. Army units belonging to the United
States, Great Britain and Germany are also stationed there at the
time. Dominion control of this base now places the enemy within easy
striking distance of the civilian populartion centers on Minos Korva.
Cardassian and Dominion fleets are already blockading the planet. Two
million Federation citizens live on the planet. In addition, Minos
Korva is only six light years away from Betazed.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 1 | Starfleet's
First Fleet (formerly based out of Minos Korva) and part of the Tenth
Fleet (based out of Betazed) engage the Cardassian/ Dominion
blockade fleet in orbit of Minos Korva. Later in the day, with the
battle still raging in orbit, Klingon shock troops, as well as a few
units of Starfleet Marines, successfully land on the surface of Minos
Korva. Upon arrival, they witness a wide-scale resistence movement that
has been harrassing the Dominion since they invaded the planet a week
ago. The Dominion ground troops have endured a good beating since then.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 2 | The
Dominion and Cardassian troops abandon Minos Korva. They and their
surviving vessels retreat back into Cardassian space. The planet is
once again in Federation hands. Losses on both sides during the
liberation of Minos Korva were significant. Starfleet loses 32
starships and 7,950 personnel (2,600 of which are Marines that never
made it to the planet's surface). The Klingons lose 22 ships and 8,200
personnel. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 9 | A
large Dominion fleet breaks through the battle lines near Talarian
space, and enemy troops land on the surface of Talar. Jem'Hadar and
Cardassian ground troops begin attacking Talarian installations. A
significant
part of Starfleet's Eighth Fleet as well as the Talarian warships
protecting the Talar System are crippled. Starfleet loses 15 ships and 2,400 personnel. Many Talarians manage to
escape their homeworld before the occupation, and relocate to temporary
Federation colonies and refugee facilities on nearby planets in
Federation space.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 15 | Starfleet
and its allies abandon Starbase 211. The planet-based facility has been
the target of constant Dominion attacks, and can no longer be
adequately reinforced. Dominion forces move in, and take over control
of the station and its planetary system.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 17 | Alliance
forces consisting of the Klingons, Starfleet, a detachment of United
States Marines (from Earth), a German Army division (from Earth), and a
number of Tzenkethi warships take control of the Cardassian-owned
Dorvan System. The Dorvan System (located within the former
Demilitarized Zone), including a Native American (Earth) colony on
Dorvan V, was ceded to the Cardassians by treaty in 2370. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Oct. 19 | The Battle of Betazed: The Dominion
forces invade and occupy Betazed. The
entire planet (1.3 billion inhabitants) is conquered in only ten hours. This puts the Dominion in
a strategic position to hit several key worlds (including Alpha
Centauri, Andor, and Vulcan). Fourteen-year-old Ryko
Tabor is living on Betazed during the occupation. (DS9: "In The Pale Moonlight", Star
Trek Star Charts, p. 48, Terra Nova RPG)
Starfleet's
Tenth Fleet had been assigned to protect Betazed and its outlying
colonies.
However, the fleet was on a training exercise when the Dominon invasion
fleet caught them by surprise, crippling the fleet, and overtaking the
antiquated defense systems on Betazed. Alliance casualties are heavy. A
total of 42 Starfleet ships are destroyed including: the USS Ahwahnee
(Cheyenne-class) which fought at the Battle of Wolf 359, the USS
Madison (Galaxy-class), USS Malinche (Excelsior-class), USS Phoenix
(Nebula-class), USS Hathaway (Constellation-class), USS Concord
(Freedom-class), USS Rabin and USS Red Cloud (Akira-class), USS Adelphi
(Ambassador-class), USS Apollo (Apollo-class), and the USS Vigilant
(Defiant-class). A total of 18,750 Starfleet personnel are lost in the attack on Betazed.

| Oct. 26 | An
Alliance task force attempts to retake Talar from the Dominion, and
fails. The fleet is crippled near the Talarian homeworld and forced to
retreat. Casualties are moderate. Notable Starfleet ships lost in the
engagement include the USS Lakota (Excelsior-class), and the USS
Philadelphia (Nebula-class). A total of 11 Starfleet ships and about as
many
Klingon vessels are lost in the engagement. A number of vessels are

recently warp-capable Malcorians (an independent species associated
with the Federation). A small Alliance fleet consisting of the USS
Min'ow (New Orleans-class), USS Romney (Ambassador-class), USS
Silversides (Akira-class) and others were overrun in the
process. The Min'ow and Silversides are destroyed; the Romney is
heavily damaged. A total of seven Starfleet ships are lost, and 2,200
Starfleet personnel are killed. Malcor III becomes an enemy-occupied
planet, advancing the
enemy borders, and proving them with a strategic base in Federation
territory.

Cardassians take control of the Umoth system (within the former
Cardassian/Federation Demiliterized Zone). Umoth VI was the location of
a Starfleet amory. Umoth VII contained a former Federation colony,
which later became a Maquis colony, and since reverted to Federation
control. A few hundred Federation refugees arrived here after the
Dominion wiped out the Maquis. Umoth VIII is the location of a thriving
Federation colony consisting of about 4,000 Federation citizens. The
Alliance also maintained an outpost on this planet. Starfleet reports
indicate that most of the colonists from the Umoth system have been
transported to Cardassian prison camps deeper within Dominion space. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

| Nov. 23 | A
3,000-year-old stone tablet is discovered buried beneath the ancient
city of B'hala on Bajor. According to Bajoran archaeologists, the
tablet directly addresses "The Emmissary to the Bajoran people" (known
also as Captain Benjamin Sisko, commander of Deep Space 9).
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Nov. 26 | On
Deep Space 9 in the Bajor Sector, Lt. Jadzia Dax is successful in
translating the 3,000 year-old ancient stone tablet found on Bajor
three days ago. The tablet says, "The Prophets will weep and the
gateway to the Celestial Temple will burn." Bajoran scholars confirm
this translation. Later in the evening, the Bajoran wormhole begins to
behave erratically -- opening and closing, sending out waves of
gravitic disturbance, and causing station Deep Space 9 to shake.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Nov. 27 | On
Bajor, a series of major earthquakes strike the Kendra Valley and
spread out across the planet. Damage is significant, with casualties
reaching 330. Smaller earthquakes and aftershocks continue. Thousands
of Bajorans are left homeless. Bajor's Kai Winn claims that the
earthquakes are a direct result of Captain Sisko removing the 3,000
year-old "Tablet of the Emissary" from the ruins of B'hala.
Later
in the day, a major tornado flattens the Bajoran city of Tamulna.
According to survivors, it came out of nowhere. Dangerous weather
events like this are rare in that part of Bajor; no one, not even the
planet's weather service saw this storm coming. The casualty list tops
out at 167.
In addition, flood waters cover most of Rakantha
Province on Bajor. Officials estimate that two-thirds of the wheat
harvest in that area has been completely destroyed. Eight Bajorans are
drowned as the rising waters claim more and more land.
A major
hail storm strikes the Trilar Peninsula. Three people are killed, and
countless more homes and structures are damaged or destroyed by the
falling ice pellets.
Elsewhere in the Bajoran system, significant
geological instability is measures on some of the other thirteen
planets in the system. Thankfully, most of those planets are
uninhabited. Gravitational waves continue to flow from the Bajoran
wormhole as Deep Space 9 continues to shudder and shake. Unnecessary
ship traffic is ordered to steer clear of the station until the
system-wide disturbances can be brought under control.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy)
|
| Nov. 28 | Early
in the morning On Deep Space 9, in a fit of rage, Captain Sisko smashes
the 3,000 year-old stone tablet found on Bajor. By doing so, he
releases two energy "orbs" onto the station -- one red, one blue. The
blue orb posesses Major Kira Nerys while she is attending early morning
prayers in the station's Bajoran shrine. The orb -- a wormhole alien
known to the Bajorans as one of their Prophets -- announces that "The
Reckoning" has begun, and she/it will await the arrival of another Prophet known as Kosst Amojan.
With
Deep Space 9 under threat, Captain Benjamin Sisko orders the station
evacuated, in the hopes of avoiding casualties in the
coming battle between the two Prophets.
That
evening, with the
station abandoned of all but Captain Sisko, his son Jake, the possessed
Major Kira, and Kai Winn, the evil Prophet Kosst Amojan shows up and
posesses Jake Sisko. A desperate and devestating energy battle between
the two Prophets (in their host bodies) takes place on the abandoned
Promenade level of Deep Space 9. Damage is severe. As the good Prophet
(in Major Kira) appears to be winning the celestial battle, Kai Winn
sneaks into the abandoned station operations center, and floods
the Promenade with chroniton particles (which are fatal to the wormhole
aliens). The Prophets are violently forced out of their hosts, and
drift off into space. The Bajoran Reckoning was not completed, thereby
breaking the original prophesy given to the Bajoran people.
The
population of Deep Space 9 slowly returns to the station.
Major repairs begin on the destroyed Promenade. Major Kira and
Jake Sisko are in comas following their possession by the wormhole
aliens. On Bajor, the natural disasters have stopped, the
geological instabilities throughout the Bajor system cease, and the
wormhole returns to its normal behavior. Kai Winn returns to Bajor,
adamantly insisting that her action were for the good of Bajor.
Unfortunately, the evil Kosst Amojan still exists, and the future of
Bajor, Deep Space 9, and everything else remains uncertain. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy)

the Dorvan Sector, Starfleet's First Fleet repells a major Cardassian
assault on Minos Korva. Unfortunately, they take signficant losses in
the victory. The USS Suleiman (Niagara-class), USS Pueblo (New
Orleans-class), USS Chicago (Nebula-class), USS Canada
(Intrepid-class), and USS Livingston (Excelsior-class) are among the
ships destroyed. Nearly 3,000 Starfleet personnel are lost. Minos Korva remains in Alliance hands, however, it's
defensive resources are significantly diminished. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

member planet Minos Korva is destroyed by a Dominion changeling who
manages to ignite the system's sun and cause an artificial supernova.
The resulting shockwave destroys everything in the Minos Korva system
-- all two million Federation citizens living on Minos Korva and
Starfleet's entire First Fleet. Fifty-two Federation starships, eleven
Klingon ships, five Romulan Warbirds, and three Tzenkethi battleships
are destroyed along with Minos Korva. An estimated 15,000 Starfleet
personnel are lost in the destruction. All that remains of the Minos
Korva system is a large empty asteroid field. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Dec. 6 | A
Romulan fleet retakes control of the Solarion System in the Dorvan
Sector. Every last Jem'Hadar ship, soldier and Vorta in the system is
wiped out. There are no enemy survivors. Under Dominion control,
Solarion IV was being converted into a base for about 3,000 troops. In
the attack, the Romulans capture an arsenal of Dominion weapons
that had recently been relocated to the new enemy base. The Romulans
begin fortifying Solarion IV as their new headquarters along that
stretch of the front lines. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

| Dec. 16 | Starfleet
loses contact with the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E. No
distress signal is recieved by any local vessels, Federation or
otherwise. In addition, no debris is found at her last known
coordinates (located within the unclaimed territory between Ferengi and
Tzenkethi space). An abandoned shuttle from her assigned compliment is,
however, found nearby two days later. The shuttle shows no signs of
combat damage.
A
careful study of the shuttle's log fies indicates that the USS
Enterprise-E encountered an unstable "wormhole-like" spacial anomaly of
unknown origin, and was propelled 34,000 light years into the Delta
Quadrant. The logs state that the ship and crew suffered minor damage
upon arrival, and the ship remains in standard working order.
After
being pulled into the Delta Quadrant, Captain Picard and his crew are
able to reopen the anomaly, only to discover that their passage through
the anomaly caused it to begin collapsing, and it is no longer large
enough for the USS Enterprise to pass through a second time. Captain
Picard orders two sensor bouys to be dispatched into the anomaly,
however, they are crushed under the pressures of the closing
dimensions. An empty shuttle is shielded, prepared (with sensor data,
crew logs, related objects, and the physical specifications of the
anomaly itself) and sent back through to known space. This is the
shuttle Starfleet discovered on December 18th.
The
Excelsior-class USS Lovell, as well as mission support vessels, are
soon dispatched to the anomaly and manage to open communication with
the USS Enterprise-E through the use of a makeshift subspace relay. The
decision is made to attempt transporter recovery of the Enterprise crew,
however, conditions are difficult, and only 103 individuals are retrieved
from the Delta Quadrant before transporter functions are physically
terminated, and the anomaly collapses un upon itself. Captain Picard and
his entire senior staff remain aboard the USS Enterprise in the Delta
Quadrant. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

Grand Nagus Zek introduces a new bill to the Ferengi Bill of
Opportunities that gives females the right to leave their homes, wear
clothing in public, go to work, and make a profit. After the
announcement is issued, financial chaos erupts all across Ferenginar.
There is so much buying and selling throughout the Ferengi Alliance,
that the entire planetary communications grid shuts down. As a result,
Zek is deposed, and Liquidator Brunt becomes the acting Grand Nagus of
Ferenginar. Zek and Moogie flee to Deep Space 9. (DS9: Profit and Lace") |

stumbled upon access to a huge abandoned relay station network that
extends all the way to the edge of the Alpha Quadrant. The USS Pioneer
had been unknowingly operating within range of the network sensors on
the Alpha Quadrant side of the relay network, and picked up the
Enterprise's communication signal.
Support vessels are
dispatched to the coordinates of the USS Pioneer. Shortly thereafter,
Starfleet makes first contact with a Delta Quadrant species known as

Tenth Fleet attempts to retake Betazed from the Dominion. They are,
unfortunately pushed back. This is the second attempt to liberate
Betazed. A number of Starfleet ships are lost in the attack,
including the USS Endeavor (Nebula-class). The Endeavor is the only
starship to have survived Wolf 359 in 2366, and was one of the vessels
that destroyed the Borg cube attacking Earth in the 2373 Battle of
Sector 001. Over 2,000 Starfleet personnel are lost. The Klingons
report losing 5,500 personnel, while the Romulans suffer losses of just
over 3,000.
Following the defeat, Starfleet Command issues a statement announcing

| Feb. 22 | The Battle of Chin'toka.
After a successful strategy of misdirection, a combined Alliance fleet
consisting of vessels from all Allied species (Starfleet, Klingons,
Romulans, Talarians, Tandarans, Suliban and Tzenkethi) attack and
capture the Chin'toka system. All five planets in the star system,
including both inhabited planets (Chin'toka II and III) fall under
Alliance control. Only five squadrons of Jem'Hadar fighters and a new
class of Cardassian weapons platform stand against the Alliance fleet.
Klingon troops beam down and take control of the inhabited planets,
including the two Cardassian colonies and their research/manufacturing
facilities.
During
the battle, the Bajoran Wormhole mysteriously disappears. There is no
longer an entry into the Gamma Quadrant. In addition, all of the
Bajoran orbs go dark. While not known at the time, this is the work
of the Pah'wraith-possessed Gul Dukat, who silently slips aboard Deep
Space 9 and transfers his Pah'wraith into the orb located in the
empty Bajoran shrine.

| March 10 | The
Nebula-class USS San Francisco responds to a distress call from the
colonists on the Bajoran colony world of Golana. Upon arrival, the
Starfleet away team finds the gutted and burning shell of a recently
crashed Dominion fighter -- but there are no Vorta or Jem'hadar in the
area, nor are there any enemy corpses.
In addition, local Bajoran scientists reveal the existence of what appear to be modern
Dominion artifacts and equipment, buried for at least 300
years in a recently unearthed archaeological dig site. The Bajorans
theorize that the site may be a centuries-old Dominion encampment.
After the ship crashed, the Bajorans also discovered a nearby ancient
time portal. They believe that the crew of
the crashed Jem'Hadar fighter are the same Jem'Hadar who
built the encampment 300 years ago. They went through the portal into the
past, and destroyed the circuits of the device, prohibitting anyone

previously unidentified artifacts stored in a warehouse under the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. The artifacts (that are part
of the museum's World War 3 collection) confirm the presence of
Jem'Hadar on Earth during the mid-21st century. Evidence suggests that a
small group of Jem'Hadar soldiers, their Vorta leader, and an ample
supply of Ketracel White were present during the war. Evidence also
suggests that at least one Romulan individual from the vessel that crashed
into the Pacific Ocean around this time may have survived as well.

colony world that was captured by the Dominion in 2374 and converted
into a resupply depot. In addition to taking the depot itself,
Starfleet also captures two damaged Jem'Hadar fighters (that were
landed at the time of the attack), a number of Cardassian shuttles and
small special missions vessels, a notable cache of Cardassian and
Dominion weapons, a large stockpile of ketracel white, sensitive

| April 8 | The
Dominion introduce trilithium resin into the atmosphere of the
Alliance-held planet, Setlik III. In that format, trilithium resin
becomes a biogenic weapon lethal to Humans (but not Cardassians).
Initial estimates indicate that enough resin was used to make Setlik
III uninhabitable to Humans for at least the next fifty years. The
poisoned atmosphere forces all Alliance personnel to make a hasty
withdrawal from Setlik III, giving up an important foothold into that
area of Cardassian space, and allowing the Cardassians to move in and
lay claim to the now-abandoned facilities on the planet. The poisoning
of the atmosphere is believed to be the work of a Dominion Changeling
who transported the toxins to Setlik III as a "cloaked space probe",
and then disappeared again into deep space. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |

Sisko and his away team return to Deep Space 9 after their mission to
the Tyree system. Sisko brings with him a tenth orb, which he refers to
as the Orb of the Emissary. In a public statement on Deep Space 9,
Sisko notes that the Prophets led him to find the orb buried in the
sand on Tyree. When he opened it, a Prophet was released, it returned
to hte Bajoran wormhole, cast out an evil Pah-wraith (whom the Bajoran
Prophets referred to by name as Kosst Amojan), and restored the
wormhole to its normal state. When the wormhole was restored, all nine
dark orbs on Bajor were lit up again. The Bajoran Prophets had returned
to Bajor.
Captain Sisko also informs the Bajoran people that the
Prophets revealed the closure of the Bajoran wormhole to be the work of
Cardassian Gul Dukat. During the Battle of Chin'Toka on February 22
earlier this year, Dukat (who was possessed by the Pah-wraith, Kosst
Amojan at the time), beamed aboard Deep Space 9, and transferred the
Pah-wraith into the Orb of Contemplation in the empty Bajoran Shrine.
That allowed the Pah-wraith to enter the wormhole, sealing it, and
causing it to disappear for two months. Durin gthat time, a celestial
war was taking place between the Prophets and the Pah-wraith. When the
Prophet from Tyree entered the wormhole, the war came to an
end.
The Bajoran Vedek Assembly announces that the Orb of the
Emissary will be stored in the Bajoran Shrine on Deep Space 9. It will
remain under the protection of the vedeks serving there, and can be
consulted at any time Captain Sisko feels it necessary.

and Klingon forces take the brunt of the losses in this engagement.
Dominion losses at the border are estimated to be greater than those
lost among the Allies. The remainder of the Alliance fleet punches
through the border defenses, and continues on their course toward the
Tamerok System. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy)

| July 12 | The
"Vega Drainpipe" spacial anomaly appears again near Vega. Previously,
on May 27, the long-missing NX-02 Columbia emerged from the past. This
time, the second vessel known to emerge from the anomaly is identified
as the USS Terra Nova (NCC-75638), a Defiant-class starship. It's crew
claims to have entered the anomaly in the distant Ryally Sector on
April 10, 2379 (four years in the future). Her captain is reported to
be a Human male, Lieutenant Commander Garrett Andrews.
According
to Starfleet records, there is no USS Terra Nova serving in the
present-day Starfleet. A Defiant-class vessel is scheduled for
construction with the future Terra Nova's registry, however, that ship
is planned to be the USS Loki. In addition, the present-day Garrett
Andrews is a Lieutenant (JG), serving as a helm officer aboard the USS
Kitty Hawk (Galaxy-class).
The crew of the USS Terra Nova is
interviewed thoroughly by Starfleet Command, the Terra Nova's
"historical" database is analysed by officials, and all efforts are
made to contain the spread of most general knowledge regarding the
future, as well as keep the future Terra Nova personnel away from their
present-day counterparts. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| July 13 | Future
knowledge leaked from the ship archives of the time-traveling USS Terra
Nova (Defiant-class), suggest that the recently-captured Tamerok System
will be destroyed on July 26th, when the Dominion ignite the Tamerok
star, causing an artificial supernova. The resulting shockwave will
destroy everything in the system, including the entire Alliance fleet.
Thousands of Alliance personnel and hundreds of starships will be wiped
out. The devestating attack will destroy Alliance plans of ending the
war within the next few months, and prolong the conflict until well
into 2376. This knowledge could allow the future to be changed.

| July 16 | Starfleet
releases a press release stating that the Dominion has developed a new
technology -- a tachyon scanner -- that can location and track cloaked
ships. The Klingons and Romulans confirm this information. Alliance
Intelligence operatives report that this new device is already being
installed aboard Dominion vessels. It is not, however (at this time)
being installed aboard Cardassian and Son'a vessels. The Alliance
cloaking advantage may be at an end.

| July 22 | A
Dominion Founder-in-disguise attempts to assassinate Weyoun 6 -- the
pro-Alliance Weyoun clone that defected to the Federation. The
assassination attempt fails, and the Founder escapes into the local
environment. Weyoun 6 is treated for injuries, and moved to a new
location.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| July 26 | The
Dominion counter-attack, based upon information obtained from the
future USS Terra Nova, and predicted for this date, never occurs.
Starfleet analysts suggest that this may be a result of present-day
efforts proving successful in altering possible future events.
(Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| July 31 | A
large Dominion fleet, enroute to a counter-attack on the Alliance-held
Tamarok System, disappears. It vanishes completely without a trace --
no evidence of cloaking technology use, no altered course -- it' just
gone. Every single enemy vessel. The Dominion fleet outnumbered the
Alliance defense fleet in the Tamerok System 2-1. The expected battle,
if it had occurred, is likely to have driven the Alliance out of the
Tamerok System.
Q appears inside Starfleet headquarters on
Earth, shortly after the fleet disappearance, and informs Alliance
Command that this event was not the doing of anyone in the Continuum. Q
is not responsible for this disappearance. Starfleet seems to think
that Q knows more about the event than he claims, but he does not
provide any further details. Q does make note of the fact, though, that
while the Continuum is observing the course of the war, they are
neutral, and have no plans to participate or become involved.
Meanwhile,
on Earth, a Founder attacks Starfleet Academy, saobtaging computer
systems and effectively destroying their main computer core. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Aug. 1 | Early
in the morning aboard the USS Kelvin (Excelsior-class), Lieutenant (JG)
Wesley Crusher is found unconscious in his quarters. He has suffered a
head injury, most likely as a result of ship combat hours earlier.
Doctors note unexplainable elements to his injuries, and are unable to
bring him out of his comatose state. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Aug. 6 | While
making a cargo stop at a Bajoran colony, the crew of the transport
vessel discovers the bodies of all 56 Bajorans who lived there. They
appear to have been dead for a few days. The colony was home to
followers of the Bajoran Pah-wraith cult, and every single individual
appears to have committed voluntary ritual suicide. In addition,
documents and evidence at the colony also suggest that Cardassian, Gul
Dukat, may have been their leader, although, his body is not found
among the deceased. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Aug. 7 | Starfleet
commissions its fourth Sovereign-class starship -- the USS Excelsior-A
(NCC-2000-A). This new Sovereign is named in honor of the iconic
class-leading USS Excelsior, which was destroyed by the Dominion a year
ago. The original USS Excelsior was launched in 2284, and served
Starfleet for 90 years. Commander Walter Baxter, the first officer of
the USS Voyager (Intrepid-class) is promoted to the rank of Captain,
and assumes command.

| Aug. 12 | Captain
Kathryn Janeway is seriously injured in a Dominion attack on the USS
Voyager (Intrepid-class). She will need surgery and a notable period of
recovery. In addition, the USS Voyager sustains heavy damage (including
the loss of her port nacelle) and is pulled from the front lines. Her
repairs are scheduled at Starbase Lya Station Alpha in orbit of Merak
II. Her crew will be given much-needed leave during the repair period.

| Aug. 18 | The
Dominion War has been at a stalemate lately. With the knowledge gained
from Vorta defector Weyoun 6, tactical information from the
"historical" archives of the future USS Terra Nova (Defiant-class), and
the mysterious disappearance of the large Dominion fleet near Tamerok,
only minor combat events have been happening along the front lines.
Most of these events are in the form of skirmishes, Klingon "cavalry
raids", and daily border engagements. No new planets have been captured
by either side. The Dominion keeps shifting their forces, and the
Alliance keeps anticipating and countering those movies. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Aug. 22 | Lieutenant
(JG) Wesley Crusher -- still in a coma after his July 31 collapse
aboard the USS Kelvin (Excelsior-class) -- is transferred to the
hospital on Lya Station Alpha. His condition is stable, however,
doctors do not know the cause of his injury or coma.

| Aug. 25 | A
Dominion Founder destroys the Romulan dilithium mining operation on
S'Sava VI. Over 400 miners die in the attack -- including a young
29-year-old Romulan named Nero. Although deceased, Nero is considered a
hero in the Empire, as he managed to kill the Founder before succumbing
to his own injuries. S'Sava was one of the Romulan Empire's main
sources of dilithium. However, despite this setback, Praetor Neral
assures the Alliance that the Romulans will continue to uphold their
committment to the Dominion War effort.

| Aug. 26 | To
combat the Dominion, and allow new tactical options on the battlefield,
the MACO/Marines add the TR-116 rifle to their armory. Some Starfleet
personnel in combat situations are also issued the new rifle. MACO
believes that this new rifle will give them an edge over the disruptor
technology currently in use by the Dominion and her allies. It also has
a greater range not attainable by phased beam targeting. This is a bold
step for the Federation into the unused waters of projectile weaponry
(in addition to existing phaser technology).

| Aug. 29 | A
third starship emerges from the temporal anomaly known as "The Vega
Drainpipe". This time it is the missing Maquis ship, Val Jean
(commanded by former Starfleet officer, Chakotay). The Val Jean
disappeared near the Badlands in January 2371. It was the vessel the
USS Voyager was sent to find, but failed to locate.
According
to official records, the Val Jean was pulled into the distance Delta
Quadrant by an entity known as "The Caretaker". The initial crew of 22
Maquis became trapped 70,000 light years from Federation space. Captain
Chakotay set a course for home, and the Val Jean remained on that
course for three years. On March 17, 2374, the Val Jean was attacked by
a Borg cube. That attack tore a hole in the space-time coninuum, pulled
the Maquis ship in, and deposited it through the Vega Drainpipe. The
Val Jean and it's remaining crew of 10 individuals returmed home to the
present -- a year and half in their own future.
The ten individuals that returned to the Alpha Quadrant aboard the Val Jean are:
- Chakotay -- (Human, male)
- Ayala -- (Human, male)
- Hogan -- (Human, male)
- Tuvok -- (Vulcan, male)
- Chell -- (Bolian, male)
- Gerron Ral -- (Bajoran, male)
- Tabor -- (Bajoran, male)
- Annette Smithee -- (Human, female)*
- JorAnne Smithee -- (Human, female)*
- Hugat -- (Hirogen, male)*
(*= added to the original crew)
The
bodies of two Human males, Kurt Bendera and Rudy Carlson are also
aboard the Val Jean. Both men are listed as killed in action during the
Borg attack. All other members of the original Maquis crew were either
killed in the Delta Quadrant, or remains behind on one of the planets
visited by the Val Jean. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy) |
| Aug. 31 | The
USS Stardust (Intrepid-class) is removed from active service in
Starfleet, and lands on the campus grounds of Starfleet Academy, San
Francisco on Earth. It has been assigned to the Academy as a
semi-permanent "building", although she will remain fully-functional as
a Starfleet registered vessel (and is capable of take-off if need be).
She is also renamed the USS Golden Gate, in honor of the nearby Golden
Gate Bridge. Her intended uses on the Academy grounds will be: a landed
training ship, additional Academy offices, laboratories, event
facilities, temporary VIP lodging, and a few other functions. (Facebook: Starfleet Academy)
