[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] Dating the 23rd century precisely is tricky. Only a few dates can be nailed down exactly. Generations has that '78 years later' caption which, coupled with the TNG stardate, places the Ent-B launch in 2293. Voyager placed the end of the five year mission in 2270. (Thus showing the Chronology/Encyclopedia dates to be slightly off.) This then places TMP in 2272 or 2273. ST II must be after 2283 (Romulan Ale date). But precise dating for II, III, IV and V isn't possible. DS9 places [i]The Trouble with Tribbles[/i] (just over half way through TOS season 2) 105 years, 1 month and 12 days before the present of [i]Trials and Tribble-ations[/i]. But not present stardate is given for that episode. However the closest episodes either side with stardates show that this is early in 2273 so the TOS portion is early 2268 (or maybe just, late 2267). That places the start of season one the later half of 2266. Note that combining this with the Voyager date for the end of the mission makes the three years of TOS the middle three years of the five year mission. Star Trek VI is roughly dateable by McCoy's 27 years line. Assuming he joined the Enterprise between [i]Where no man has gone before[/i] and the start of season one proper and that is roughly 2266 then that places ST VI in 2293. However, ST VI could be a bit earlier. If we assume that [i]Where no man has gone before[/i] takes place before the five year mission (different uniforms, moderate refit to the ship, no opening voiceover mentioning the five year mission) then McCoy could have joined the crew earlier than 2266. Also in ST VI McCoy does say "27 years as Ship's Surgeon and later as Chief Medical Officer" (or at least he does in the version of the script I've just checked). So maybe he was on board during [i]Where no man...[/i] but wasn't yet CMO. So there's wriggle room in the dating of ST VI but 2291-2293 is the possible range. [/QB][/QUOTE]
