Template:Realworld

Not to be confused with The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine Technical Manuals.

The Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual is a reference book, ostensibly created as a compilation of material accidentally transmitted by the USS Enterprise during the events of "Tomorrow is Yesterday", and detailing the technology of the 23rd century.

This work is noted as providing the basis for the Star Fleet Universe series of games.

Summary

All sections of the manual except the Introduction have "flysheets" that bear the Enterprise ship badge with various symbols in the centers.

Introduction

Foreword I
1973 memorandum to Franz Joseph from the US Director of Security Control regarding the computer data from USS Enterprise accidentally dumped at Omaha Air Force Base in 1969.
Foreword II
Stardate 3150.10 (2267) memorandum regarding Star Fleet investigation of the sensitive data given to 20th century Humans.

Support Services Section

The internal arrangements of the impulse and main warp engines are marked CLASSIFIED, as their technology is considered subject to the Prime Directive.

Miscellaneous Section

  • Appendix A

Background information

Production use

While this book is now considered to be non-canonical, it was used as a source and reference for four Star Trek motion pictures, and at least one episode.

Reprints

The Technical Manual was first published as a vinyl-jacketed hardcover in 1975. The actual book, removable from the vinyl jacket, was labeled "Star Fleet Technical Manual" on a solid red cover, printed in a fashion to look like a real technical manual or textbook, with no mention of Star Trek at all. Later printings have all been paperbacks with updated covers, all mentioning Star Trek prominently:

  • 1986 – a "Star Trek 20 years 1966–1986" logo was added to the top left of the cover
  • 1996 – an all-new cover with a "Star Trek 30 years" logo in the same corner
  • 2006 – "Star Trek" portion of title enlarged, with the "40 Years" logo on the middle right and "Starfleet" written as one word rather than two

Titan Books also published their own version of the book in the UK in 1991, coinciding with the 25th anniversary.
