Hey guys, gals and various non-gender binary individuals 
I've been slowly working on a few idea's for a story focusing on the adventures of the crew of a Wells class timeship(the class seen in Voyager).
I've been rather lazy in my reading of a fairly large chunk of Trek novels, having only really started with them this year with David Mack's Destiny trilogy...
Safe to say I've not got the time to read through all the relevant novels.
I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to help me compile a basic set of rules that have been established throughout the series' and the novels?
I'd love to be be able to get writing and not violate canon too much
Significant dates, status of various civilisations and technological abilities/limitations etc etc.
Even just an idea of where to start researching would be great
Danke!
