And of course, the oft-mentioned Vulcanian expedition.

And of course, the oft-mentioned Vulcanian expedition.

I thought it was only mentioned once.

^I meant oft-mentioned on this BBS forum, usually when speculating about Discovery.

Isn't there a new forum section for that speculation.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

I'm not speculating about that usage of it here, just mentioning something here (as an addition to the list we're now compiling) that was mentioned elsewhere often (as a possible plot device for future shows).

Yes, I do understand that, but given it's just been discussed/speculated in another part of the board, you could have said as much and not assume everyone goes in all the different sections.

I didn't realize that my post would be the first post on the new page. I was adding to the list that I had proposed and @Extrocomp was beginning to compile. Sorry.

It was more the "oft mentioned" part which it seems isn't the case if it has been mentioned once.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

I just assumed (wrongly) that some of the people who read those threads would also read this one. But back to the topic. Any other missions, expeditions, battles, and other events?

UPDATE: I did find some stuff on my external. It's definitely an early draft, since it has ideas we changed, and notes more to ourselves. If Michael can't find anything more recent, I'll post it.

I learned that I experimented with translating all the IG registry numbers into base 12; I guess because Andorians would count on their ten fingers and two antennae. Thus the Kumari (AAN-2000) would be AAN-11A8, and the Enterprise (AAN-1701) would be AAN-B99.

Cool!

There's also Kirk saving the Pelosians from extinction.

There's also Kirk saving the Pelosians from extinction.

Which was depicted in Forgotten History.

 

[Extrocomp]

I've expanded the list on the first page to show where each event was mentioned and fully described.

The Cygnet XIV visit by Kirk's Enterprise.

 

[Extrocomp]

Which novel described it in detail?

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Oops, I was actually meaning to ask here if any book did. Or add it to a list of things which have not been expanded upon yet, if not, for any author's reference.

I believe that visit and the Enterprise's subsequent 'love' of Kirk was part of the subplot of "Web of the Romulans," which was written in 1983. Otherwise, though, I don't know if it's been directly addressed. Though doesn't Archer's Enterprise have first contact with Cygnet in the first Romulan War book?

ENT: Beneath the Raptor's Wings, Chapter 34.

Web of the Romulans doesn't show the visit to Cygnet XIV, because that's before "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and Web is supposedly immediately after it (even though Chekov is on board and the Romulan cloaking tech is the third-season variety that couldn't be tracked).

Go back a little and see who invented the Kolvoord starburst. Possibly not one of the people who died doing it. What lead to its invention? Was there a tactical reason, or just some show-off Kirk wannabe name Kolvoord? In "The First Duty", its last deadly performance happened over 100 years prior to Nova Squadron doing it. Memory alpha says the TNG episode took place in 2368 - over a hundred years ago means Kirk may have been in Starfleet at the time.

@Extrocomp Another I believe has not been covered for the "open for elaboration" list
