Changes: All Those Years Ago...

Revision as of 12:54, 4 June 2013

Template:Realworld

The first mission! – The crew encounters a mysterious alien race they met years earlier.

Background Information

This story covers two different time-frames:
The "present" sequence takes place in 2285 or 2286, between Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
The flashback sequence takes place in 2263, between "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
The flashback sequence in "Uhura's Story" takes place after this, chronologically.

Notes

The flashback sequence takes place when Pike transfers command of the Enterprise to Kirk. According to the Star Trek Chronology this would be 2263, when Pike was promoted to Fleet Captain (as in this story).
McCoy's divorce "comes through", and his daughter will graduate college soon.
Nogura was an admiral at this time.
Kirk mentions that he was assistant engineer on the Farragut and first officer on the El Dorado at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works before commanding the Saladin.
Kirk had nine Academy demerits on his Starfleet service record.
Starfleet transfer of command ceremonies involved passage of a sword from one captain to the next as a symbol of office.
This issue shows Sulu in the navigator's position, although "Where No Man Has Gone Before" seemingly had him in a science officer role, before he became the regular helmsman.
