Hello again everyone, I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who’s taken a look at the maps, and an even bigger thanks to everyone who has posted. I’d hit a bit of a dead end with them, and wasn’t sure if there was anything I could change or take any further. The discussion here has...

Hello everyone, I'm sorry that I don't have a lot more to add to what I've posted already. Just the limited extract of the Gaia data is huge, and difficult to get to grips with. I'm not on Twitter myself, but do feel free to share the link in the first post with anyone who might be interested...

Hi @Michael , Thanks for pointing that out. If I haven't made a mess of it, here's a sample: @publiusr that's a very "Star Trek Maps" suggestion! I'm not sure yet if I'll be going "off franchise" but it's something I'd definitely consider. Best wishes, Timon

Hello everyone, I’ve not been here much for quite a while, but I have made some progress with what turned out to be a VERY long-term project. The original plan was to tweak the “Star Trek Star Charts” with updated information and more accurate background stars. That fell apart when the new...

I'm not at home so I can't check the book, but could it be the star system in "The Lorelei Signal"? Timon

Hi @DEWLine I had to go and look at the relevant pages before posting anything. It looks to me as though the sector system in the Star Charts only covers the disc (or disk) of the Galaxy and nothing else. That means I think it’s “cylinder” not “globe.” That does mean that anything outside the...

Hello @Centaur2000 , I wanted to add my own words of encouragement for your project (and not just in another thread). The data is presented really clearly (as I said in @ryan123450 ’s thread on time-lining earlier). I’m only sorry I can’t be any help in deciding what order everything should go...

Hello @ryan123450, I’ve had a look at your Discovery timeline, and was very relieved to find it’s similar to mine, especially since you’ve been a lot more rigorous in following the dating clues. Don’t forget that everyone “lost” nine months, so what feels to Michael Burnham like “a year ago”...

Hello everyone, I was surprised to discover that I could get the full text of the article about the discovery through work. It’s watermarked with the name of my employer, so I’m not even slightly tempted to “break the paywall” and post it. For anyone who has the right subscription (or can afford...

Hello @ryan123450, Before this thread fades quietly away, I’ve posted a revised spreadsheet here: http://atavachron.wikidot.com/calendars:clbcalendar This one is a purely “books” version. Spreadsheets are very unforgiving, and I found that I had to “tweak” several of the calendars to make the...

Hi @ryan123450, I’m glad you liked the spreadsheet, although I think if anyone who really understands excel looks at it, they’ll think it’s all a bit of a mess. There are still certain points where things go wrong, but I’ve found having something to spit out the right dates without a lot of...

@ryan123450, You can get a copy of my spreadsheet at this page: http://atavachron.wikidot.com/calendars:clbcalendar I got the distinct impression that this version of the Klingon calendar was originally developed to allow “Earth” dates to be expressed in a “Klingon” way, which is why the days...

@ryan123450, That’s a very nicely-presented explanation of the Klingon calendar, with some interesting speculations. And there’s a link to my stuff! During my long searches for information about stardates, I did come across one for “Soldiers of the Empire”: 50839.2. Although I’m not at all...

Hello everyone, Thanks, @Phaser Two for your kind comments. I didn’t do much more than let the software show me where the stars were, though. My own guess at how long Kirk and Spock were back in the past is just over a week, probably nine days. I’ve gone back and checked (thanks to Chrissie’s...

Hello everyone, I’m really impressed at how the 21st Street Mission’s calendar has been pinned down, and that @Ar-Pharazon was able to spot it straight away. The screencap @Maurice posted is the clearest I’ve ever seen of it. I hope you don’t mind if I use it to illustrate a corrected version...

Hello everyone, @JonnyQuest037: That’s a very attractive Holmes timeline, and it sticks to the established dates. I’m impressed by the illustrations you’ve selected, and the balance between real events and the stories. @Timo: Your suggestion about the visibility of Orion in the skies of New...

Hello everyone, I’m not sure that Edith wouldn’t have known about Clark Gable in 1930. He was in Broadway productions in March-April 1930 (“Love, Honor and Betray”), September-October 1929 (“Hawk Island”) and September-November 1928 (“Machinal”). She does find it odd that Kirk and McCoy have...

Hi, JonnyQuest037, My own timeline is idiosyncratic, but I did have a go at this: http://atavachron.wikidot.com/timeline:was-it-1930 My conclusions are just a personal preference. I went for early in November (the first week, if you want to be that detailed). It gives a slight excuse for the...

Hello everyone, @Jbarney I’m just now working on my notes for the first batch of Pocket TOS novels (1981-1984) to post, and one of the things I’ve been looking for is stuff that strikes me as tying in with earlier and later books and continuity. Obviously, I can only put in what I’ve spotted...

Hello @ryan123450, Very much as a result of your TOS books timeline posts, I decided I’d like to re-read the Star Trek novels, and take a few chronological and continuity notes whilst I was doing it, to add some extra interest. The end result is being put in the “Chronological analysis of...
