STO's Major Events

eldarion79

Here is a list of STO's major events, wars, and operations. The information was taken from the game, the Needs of the Many novel, Path to 2409, and developer blogs. The only major liberty that I have taken was that the game is actually set in late 2410 now.

Nice work. I'm into the story beside liking the 'pew-pew' of this game, so this is a good reference guide to keep it all straight.

Good effort. It's nice to see events laid out and see how much has been going in.

Not expecting anyone to do this, but a video package along with a voice over of events would be awesome. It would be some insane work to make but it would be very cool to see everything shown and explained.

I thought the events of Legacy of Romulus take place during 2412.

Branflakes said in a post somewhere that Cryptic considers everything to still be in very, very late 2409. I'd have to try to find it though. Suffice it to say that we've been inside a floating timeline.

If we can get video walkthroughs of every mission, patrol mission, and system visit, we could probably create an extremely comprehensive guide to the storyline of STO.

In-game dialog also holds this. The Romulan tutorial is explicitly stated to take place "several weeks" before the Borg attack on Vega. It proceeds directly through a series of events to the founding of New Romulus, which takes place before the conference on DS9 from Second Wave - the events of Legacy of Romulus are actually more of a prequel to existing events than forward progression.

The chronologically last event prior to S8 appeared to be the discovery of the Iconian gateway on New Romulus from season 7. There's no timeframe attached to that, but Sphere of Influence is dated as "several months" later in dialog (dig through the optional conversation with the first guy you meet). The Dyson Sphere operation seems to begin immediately at the end of Sphere of Influence when the Omega Directive is activiated, with the Voth conflict presumably starting almost as soon as allied forces entered the Sphere and started destroying Omega molecules.

The Klingon tutorial isn't explicitly dated but seems to be in the same range as the other two, possibly after Vega based on the number of missions between it and the shared storyline.

There are video playthroughs on youtube, but they don't really pay enough attention to this aspect.

I've personally played with various formats for an infographic style series of events - it's not possible to resolve every uncertainty in the game, but there are things that can be used to sort of bookend the major conflicts (most of which when you look at the story this way are not ongoing but resolved, at least temporarily).

The 2800 Featured Episode Series states late 2409. However, the KDF-specific storylines really don't go that far in time-wise and the Romulan Republic storylines merges with the UFP roughly before the FE Romulan.

I will say that the UFP story-line is the STO's main story arc. The KDF are concurrent, but really don't contribute that much. The Fek'Ihiri Invasion and the Torg Coup attempt are more internal struggles.

You can tell by the more recent Khitomer Conference (Mid-Republic Story), that the UFP and the KDF are not at war, but a cease-fire is in effect. By the DS9 Conference (2800 series), the fighting has completely stopped. By the Unified Command (Season 8), UFP-KDF are allies.

1. KDF Conquest of Gila IV

2386. According to the Gorn Hegemony page on the wiki the bombardment of Gila IV began on Stardate 63504.74, which translates to July 3rd, 2386, about 5:40 AM.

Also you have Qo'noS spelled wrong. (Like most Klingon words, Qo'noS is a compound word - in this case "Qo' noS" literally translates as "Home World")

Thank you, it was updated.
