The 4th century is defined by the calendar of Earth as occurring from the year 301 through the year 400.
Events
- The inhabitants of Vulcan engage in terrible and destructive wars including the use of atomic bombs, a result of the violent passions and emotions that govern the Vulcan people. It is a savage time, even by Earth standards. Myths from this period describe a terrifying weapon of war called the Stone of Gol that kills with the power of the mind. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", "Amok Time", "All Our Yesterdays"; TNG: "Gambit, Part II"; ENT: "Awakening")
- The Time of Awakening: Surak of Vulcan leads his people onto a path of peace and logic. (TOS: "Amok Time", "The Savage Curtain"; TNG: "Gambit, Part II"; ENT: "Awakening")
- A group of Vulcans who do not follow Surak's teachings of logic leave their homeworld in a wave of emigration. They will finally settle on the planets Romulus and Remus, coming to be known as the Romulans. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", "The Enterprise Incident"; TNG: "Unification II", "Gambit, Part II")
- The Debrune, an offshoot of the Romulans, establish an outpost on Barradas III. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I")
It is possible Calder II, Dessica II, Draken IV, and Yadalla Prime were also associated with the Debrune or other early Romulans.
- The Jem'Hadar begin serving as the Dominion's front line of defense. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
- The Vidiian Sodality in the Delta Quadrant is ravaged by a deadly viral disease called the Phage. The Vidiians survive only by harvesting organs from non-Vidiians to replace their own tissues. (VOY: "Phage")
- The native civilization of Golana becomes extinct. (DS9: "Time's Orphan")
Background
- According to Star Trek: Star Charts, Vulcans became warp capable in 320 AD. However, according to known accounts, the Vulcans invented warp drive some time after 1947. (DS9: "Little Green Men") On the other hand, according to a story told by T'Pol, a Vulcan survey ship observed the launch of Sputnik in 1957, which would be quite early, if the Vulcan warp drive was developed after 1947. (ENT: "Carbon Creek") It was also established that the Vulcans took "a hundred years" to go to warp 2, so First Contact in 2063 would have been quite early, too. (ENT: "First Flight")
