[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Basically, you have three categories: 1.) "Canon". Stuff onscreen, aside from TAS. This is the stuff the writers are required to accept as "true". 2.) The stuff that's not quite canon. Some people call it "semi-canon". It pretty much consists of Paramount's Trek "reference" books: the Encyclopedias, the tech manuals, &c. It isn't canon, because the writers aren't required to adhere to it. Therefore, it could get contradicted at any time. However, the writers do use these books as references, so they are likely to be adhered to. Therefore, it's pretty safe to accept them as though they were canon, up until the point when they are contradicted. 3.) Everything else. This covers everything from Paramount-produced novels and games, to the most gods-awful fan-fiction you can find on Usenet. The writer's are under no obligation to even [i]think[/i] about this stuff, and they likely don't even know that the vast majority of it exists. Sometimes, a writer will like something in this category (i.e. TAS or Jeri Taylor's VOY novels) and incorporate it into the show. But, except for those rare occasions, this stuff has absolutely no bearing on the show whatsoever. The games this thread is about fall into the third category. [/QB][/QUOTE]
