Changes: Juneau

Revision as of 02:40, 5 July 2015

Juneau was a city in Alaska, United States.

In 2286, as the transmissions of the Whale Probe were vaporizing the planet's oceans , Juneau reported to Starfleet Command that cloud coverage had increased to 95%. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Background info

According to a 21st century-era political map of Earth, Juneau is located on the coastline of the North Pacific Ocean. The map seen in the remastered "The Cage" was a Central Intelligence Agency map published either in April 2007[1] or September 2008.[2] The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained its independence between the releases. Juneau is not legible to the viewer.

It is possible that Juneau is on a 20th century-era political map of Earth used in the original "The Cage". However, due to the poor quality of the image and the inability to access the source material, this is far from certain.
