Note 1: This chronology attempts, whenever/wherever possible, to order things by Stardate, and relies on a number of "missing" Stardates that may or may not be Canonical depending on your own point of view.

Note 2: Any assistance/suggestions people could give me in terms of arranging/ordering the episodes for DS9 Season 6/Voyager Season 4 and DS9 Season 7/Voyager Season 5 would be greatly appreciated.

Note 3: First post updated to place Dax back in production/story order in spite of its Stardate.

Note 4: First post updated to correct an unconscious error I'd made in accidentally flipping Sanctuary and The Alternate

 

Regardless of stardates, I wouldn't split multi-parters that way. No way there's time for four eps of VOY between Homefront and Paradise Lost, or seven eps of DS9 between Basics part 1 and 2.

 

^ Actually, there is. Homefront's Stardate is 49170.65 (placing its events in March), while Paradise Lost's Stardate is 49364 (placing its events in May). That's a gap of a little more than 2 months.

As for Basics 1 and 2, the Stardate I have for Part 1 is 49700.0 (placing its events in September), with the listed Stardate for Part 2 being 50032.7 (placing its events in January, which is a gap of about 4 months.

Both DS9 and Voyager had a habit of jumping ahead significantly in time between the events of Parts 1 and 2 of some of their multiparters.

 

And that's why I ignore stardates. Four months have passed and they all still look exactly the way they did in the previous ep? They're still looking for shelter and water. Part 2 clearly picks up very soon after part 1.

 

Aside from Lifesigns and Investigations, Voyager was diligent and meticulous in its use of Stardates (as was DS9), so it makes no sense to ignore Stardates because you're basically ignoring narrative intent by doing so.

If Stardates weren't important, they wouldn't have been used.

Anyway, this is getting somewhat off-subject. Does anybody have suggestions as to how to chronologically arrange DS9 Season 6/Voyager Season 4 and DS9 Season 7/Voyager Season 5?

Also, where does your stardate for Basics part 1 even come from? The ep doesn't actually have one.

 

^ The problem with that particular listing is that it isn't "technically" chronological given that it more or less just relies on airdate rather than actual storyline narrative relative to individual arcs, episodes, and events.

Regarding the Basics 1 Stardate, I cribbed it from another user's post in a thread that was posted on here a few years back:
http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/chronological-viewing-order-missing-ds9-voy-stardates-found.212584/

 

Where did you get the stardate for Basics Part 1 with 49700? I did not find anything about this particular date?

 

ok, you already answered my question. Nevertheless it is not really convinving...I also would not put Basic Part 1 in September and Part 2 in January.

 

So not from the show itself. "If Stardates weren't important, they wouldn't have been used." Indeed.

 

I'm choosing to assume that the person who posted the Stardate for Basics 1 and others didn't just arbitrarily make up the number he/she gave, meaning that it came from somewhere at least semi-official, even if it wasn't ultimately used in the episode itself.

 

Didn't the video releases of the time have stardates printed on them? Unfortunately if nothing was ever specified in the episode then the video company made them up.

Ah here we go. Found it. This was the cover of Voyager 3.1 released in the UK by CIC video.

This we already had, we need part 1

 

Just trying to find a picture of 2.11 (with Basics, part 1) and failing.

 

Hmm it's not great but here's the cover on Amazon. I can't make out the stardate listing as the image is so poor but there's definitely a stardate there.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-...96&sr=8-1&keywords=star+trek+voyager+vhs+2.11

 

Yeah true, difficult to read. I can not read it either

 

Ah I just found it. Scroll down to the product description and it says this.

 

You can't go by made up stardates for a VHS cover. Not unless you're willing to accept that DS9's fourth season episodes Little Green Men, Crossfire, and Return to Grace actually happened during the first half of DS9's third season. Not to mention the VHS cover placing Homefront and Paradise Lost in the same period despite having proper on-screen stardates given.

 

The episode before Basics Part 1 war "Resolutions" with a stardate given 49690, Janeway says this stardate is the 24th day on this planet. In the episode itself Tuvok mentions another stardate: 49694,2 with making contact with the vidians convoy.

Memory Alpha says:

Now you can calculate to yourself if the stardate of 49700 is correct. In my opinion it is impossible. No matter what at amazon is written in a commentary. A day is something with 2-3 stardates, isnt it? Make out of it a stardate of 49900, there i would say this is possible

 

Don't get me wrong. I disagree with these stardates but I wonder if that's where the confusion lies. I did try something similar once and try to convert stardates from the video covers into actual dates and failed miserably. I think it worked out that two episodes which obviously spanned several days each both apparently happened in the same day.
