==Trek Cannon & Game Timeline==
===<u>Cannon</u>===
<b>Cannon will be loosely interpreted in this game</b>

The following primary sources are considered (mostly) cannon:
*Star Trek Discovery
*Star Trek Strange New Worlds
*Star Trek The Original Series
*Star Trek TOS Movies: <i>Star Trek The Motion Picture</i> through <i>Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country</i>
*Star Trek The Next Generation
*Star Trek Deep Space Nine
*Star Trek Voyager
*Star Trek TNG Movies: <i>Star Trek Generations</i> through <i>Star Trek Nemesis</i>
*Star Trek Picard<br \>
The big exception to the cannon outlined above is time travel. Specifically, from my perspective, there's been no Temporal Cold war, and no Temporal Hot War. Any content involving a temporal war flat out didn't happen.

Any futures depicted in the media above that are later than 2450 should be assumed to be "potential future", "possible futures", or "alternate timeline futures" at best.

Time Travel happens, often by accident. It's almost impossible to do it in a regular/routinized fashion. The scenario set up doesn't involve time travel. Time travel won't be available as a means to solve any challenges or threats that arise in the course of play.

===<u>Timeline</u>===

<i>NOTE: This is not meant to be a comprehensive timeline. It shows only the major beats of history from ~2400 to the game's start in 2450. As players, you should feel free to invent specific details in play to suit the needs of your characters and/or their backgrounds.</i>

<b>2378</b> - Federation personnel aboard the USS Voyager destroy a Borg Unimatrix and transwarp conduit hub, along with trillions of Borg drones and severely injuring a Borg queen using a neurolytic virus.

<b>2401</b> - Federation personnel and retired Federation personnel destroy the last remnants of the Borg queen and the queen's attempt to restart a Borg Collective.

<b>2401 - 2410</b>
*A hardline, militaristic Chancellor is elected to lead the Klingon Empire. They wage war against the Gorn Hegemony, and come right up to the brink of a full scale war with the Federation.
*The Federation enters the Klingon-Gorn war on the side of the Gorn. A few decisive battles prove the Federation's technology has outstripped the Klingons, primarily due to technology derived from the Borg.
*A fledgling, democratic Romulan Republic forms. The remnants of the Romulan Empire immediately declares war on the New Romulan Republic.
*By the end of the decade, the Klingon Great Houses depose their Chancellor, and radically reconsider their form of government. The sue for peace with the Gorn Hegemony and the Federation. The Khitomer Accords are reaffirmed. (<i>editor's note: imagine a Klingon version of the Magna Carta, an imperfect analogy at best</i>)

<b>2410 - 2420</b>
*The Romulan Civil war spills into both Klingon and Federation space. 
*The Klingon's undergo a radical governmental restructuring. They introduce a broad deliberative body made up of hundreds of houses, they strip the Chancellor of the power to elevate and relegate houses, the centralize their military under the command of the deliberative body.
*The New Romulan Republic signs the Khitomer Accords, creating the beginnings of the Khitomer Tripartite Alliance as its known in the 2450s. The Klingon Stratocracy and the Federation enter the Romulan Civil War.
*The Romulan Empire falls when the Prraetor is seized by her own guards and turned over to the Khitomer Alliance.

<b>2420-2430</b>
*The Khitomer Tripartite Alliance expands its democratic norms, develops its three guiding principles, and enshrines them into law in each of the signatories governments.
*The Alliance begins to enact those pillars within Alliance territory, first by opening the borders of all three signatories territory to any citizen of the Alliance, and then by working to see whatever technological and cultural wealth existed was spread as fairly as possible.
*The Alliance looks outward, and begins to repair, rebuild, and improve diplomatic relationships with other major and minor powers known to them in the galaxy.

<b>2430-2440</b>
*The Alliance members being to reckon with past misdeeds by their signatory states. Truth & Reconciliation efforts are launched with gusto. The aim is to see restorative justice done for past misdeeds.
*In 2440, in a surprise move, <b>Operation Uproot</b> reveals it has had the various secret police organizations under investigaton (called "terrorist organizations" by the Alliance political bodies). Section 31, the Tal Shiar and Zhat Vash, and splinter Klingon Military Intelligence units were rounded up, their operations disbanded, and their files and records made public. These organizations were pulled root and branch, and the earth in which they grew salted (metaphorically speaking), and their actions and methods roundly and unanimously denounced.

<b>2440-2450</b>
*Investigations, Truth & Reconciliation, Restorative Justice, and grappling with the most egregious misdeeds of each polity's most militant elements reaches a kind of fever pitch. Viewed as especially egregious is the Federation's use of a neuro toxin to attack the Borg, and a similar attempt to use viral weapons against the Dominion. Those still alive who participated in these events are charged with war crimes and genocide.
*The Alliance begins discussion of making reparations to the Dominion.
*The Alliance begins searching for a Borg Collective or Cooperative with which to do the same - and have trouble identifying any activity in Borg Space.
*Operation <b>Outreach Delta</b> begins as outlined above in the Mission Brief.
