Star Trek Milestones

[AslanC]

OKay so let's say you were rewriting the entirity of Star Trek. From Enterprise to the end of Voyager...

What are the most importatn historical events or episodes?

For example...

Wolf 359 seems to be pretty important to me.

Some could make a case for the Whale probe event being fairly important.

So what do you think?

[Anarchy Bob]

Khitomer accords.
Discovery of Bajoran Wormhole.
Dominion War.

[Setvenharis]

I would say the beginning of the Romulan/Federation war (and the end of it)

First Contact with The Cardassian Union and the supsequent war.

The V'Ger incident

The second Borg assault on Earth

The temporary collapse of the Khitomer Accords during the Dominion War.

[Perrryyy]

Invention of warp drive
Federation Day
crossing the warp 10 threshhold
First contact with the Klingons?
First Conctact with the Vulcans
The "Big 5" starting the UFP

[Ensign Arrgh]

The year Australia ratified the Federated Republic of Earth constitution (or whatever they call it)

[Karg]

Add The Whale Probe Incident

Almost took out Earth


Add: opps sorry didn't see the 1 st post

[Dan Stack]

I'd add Organian Peace Treaty ("Errand of Mercy"), reappearences of the Romulans on the galactic stage ("Balance of Terror", "The Neutral Zone"), discovery of Bajorn Wormhole ("Emissary").

Not to overly nitpick here, but it's pretty much the Romulan/Earth war, not the Federation (it was founded afterwards).

I think all the definite canon events have been named (the arrival of Voyager to Earth may or may not be a big deal); all the others I can think of are more campaign-dependent and what you choose to believe.

For example, the launching of the Constitution-class has been stated in some places to have heralded a golden age of discovery for the Federation. Other things that may or may not have "actually" happened include a Federation/Klingon conflict (now that the first contact story has been mucked with), the Axanari conflict (the Axanar Peace Mission is canon, but we don't really know what it refers to), and the Four Years War (which FASA combined with the first two).

Other important events may be classified to the general public. Enterprise aside, I think the discovery of the Guardian of Forever and the Mirror Universe were fairly important, as the first was the first canon way to reliably time-travel, while the second was the first parallel universe traveled to. But of course, YMMV.

Here's my opinion for what its worth:

Project Genesis
The Destruction of Praxis
The Khitomer Accords
Encounter at Farpoint
Wolf 359
The Klingon Civil War
The Discovery of the Bajoran Wormhole
The Temporal Ribbon
The Dominion War

Now I'll admit a couple of these were more mundane than others, but the consequences were still far reaching.

Let’s see, events that change the UFP/Starfleet/Earth:
The Eugenics War
WW III
The launch/lost of the S.S. Valiant
…all of which has been ignored by the current PTB(AKA ‘they/them’)

Isn't Federation Day the day the UFP was founded (thereby combining #2 and #6)?
