One approach I'm using is that it isn't possible or even desirable to tie everything down. TOS' creators were wise in not getting too detailed in order to have flexibility for future creative licence. That's why there are gaps and ambiguities.
I also make occasional references to some printed works in regard only to specific historical points or in broad general terms when I feel the materiel was much more consistent with TOS than the later Treks were. You'll see what I mean when you see the chronology. Something like The Making of Star Trek is a substantive source in my view while something like John M. Ford's The Final Reflection does a good job conceptually of fleshing out historical background even if I think in errs in specifics.
I've also included a couple of new photo manips such as Starfleet Captain Garth and a live-action scene with a Slaver stasis box. I also want to try conjuring some pics of the main characters in their younger days.
One of the things I'm toying with is depicting something different for the starships Valiant,Republic and Farragut since they are so far back in TOS history. I'm also thinking of tweaking some of my images that I've already included so far.
