2063 - A Vulcan scout ship lands on Earth following Zefram Cochrane's warp-powered flight and is overrun by a mob of humans, including Cochrane, who kill its crewmembers and plunder its technology.

2065 - A Vulcan cruiser enters Earths orbit, demanding to know what has happened to their scout ship, when it is unexpectedly fired upon by Kzinti warships. Humans and Vulcans now find themselves uneasy allies against the new invaders.

2085 - Vulcans and humans succeed in repelling the Kzinti invaders. Colonization of Alpha Centauri begins.

2093 - The Tellarites discover extensive deposits of dilithium on Rigel XII, held by the Orion Syndicate.

2097-2105 War erupts between the Vulcans and Andorians when Vulcan annexes Weytahn, a planet the Andorians had terraformed. The Vulcans renamed it Pan Mokar. The war continues for eight years, with the Tellarites selling dilithium to both sides. Tellarite duplicity in the war is uncovered, but they escape retribution by revealing the location of the Orion homeworlds. Earth is the big winner, as it is able to come out from under Vulcan's shadow because of the losses Vulcan suffered. Plans are drawn up to conquer the Orion Empire.

2110 - The Empire launches an attack on the Orions. Facing military superiority, the Orion Syndicate "surrenders" some of its slave women to the UEP. This is actually a Trojan horse, as the women give off powerful pheromones that leave those around them virtually unable to resist their will. This doesn't work out quite as planned, as Vulcans are immune to these pheromones. They use mind-meld techniques in an effort to control the women, and through them the Orion Syndicate, but this has the unintended effect of suppressing the women's ability to give off these pheromones.

2151- The four-year war with the Klingons begins and quickly develops into an intractable stalemate. The Aenar, a telepathic pacifist race living on Andor, begin to openly protest the war, a move which wins over many Vulcans. Earth exterminates the Aenar population, which angers the Andorians, including those who had supported the Empire, but had viewed the Aenar as an internal issue. Andorians join Vulcans in a rebellion against the Terran Empire. Soon members of other conquered species join the rebels, such as Orions and Tellarites.

2065 A Vulcan cruiser enters Earths orbit, demanding to know what has happened to their scout ship, when it is unexpectedly fired upon by Kzinti warships. Humans and Vulcans now find themselves uneasy allies against the new invaders.

2079 Vulcans and humans succeed in repelling the Kzinti invaders and destroying the Kzinti homeworld. Adrik Thorsen emerges as the first ruler of a unified Earth, but is actually a puppet under Vulcan occupation. He augments his own DNA with Vulcan DNA in order to extend his own lifespan, and in later years his government will be viewed as corrupt. Colonization of Alpha Centauri begins.

2093 - The Tellarites discover extensive deposits of dilithium on Rigel XII, held by the Orion Syndicate.

2097-2105 War erupts between the Vulcans and Andorians when Vulcan annexes Weytahn, a planet the Andorians had terraformed. The Vulcans renamed it Pan Mokar. The war continues for eight years, with the Tellarites selling dilithium to both sides. Tellarite duplicity in the war is uncovered, but they escape retribution by revealing the location of the Orion homeworlds. Earth is the big winner, as it is able to come out from under Vulcan's shadow because of the losses Vulcan suffered. Earth, Vulcan, Andor, and Tellar discuss plans to invade and conquer the Orion Empire. The United Empire of Planets is formed.

2110 - The Empire launches an attack on the Orions. Facing military superiority, the Orion Syndicate "surrenders" some of its slave women to the UEP. This is actually a Trojan horse, as the women give off powerful pheromones that leave those around them virtually unable to resist their will. This doesn't work out quite as planned, as Vulcans are immune to these pheromones. They use mind-meld techniques in an effort to control the women, and through them the Orion Syndicate, but this has the unintended effect of suppressing the women's ability to give off these pheromones. Due to their role in the war the Tellarites are considered inferior by the other races.

Annexation of Orion space brings the Empire into contact with the newly discovered Klingons, and war breaks out between the two empires. The Andorians are especially aggressive allies in the war, slaughtering fourteen Klingons for every Andorian lost. However, as a result of Andorian losses Earth becomes dominant over both Vulcan and Andor.

Eventually Imperial Starfleet pushes its way into the Qo'noS system, where the captain ISS Ranger arrogantly demanded the surrender of the Klingons. The Klingons seized the ship and stole its technology, using their slave worlds to fashion copies of the ship, but in the end they are unable to hold off the Empire; nine out of ten Klingon ships were destroyed, and their core colonies smashed. 2137--Imperial Starfleet pushed its way to Qo'noS where General Order 24 was carried out, destroying all life on the planet and turning the Klingons into a race of refugees. With their homeworld conquered, the empire left the few remaining Klingons alone (the Klingons were scattered to the most distant and remote surviving outposts). Now in possession of Qo'noS, the Terran Empire undertook to re-populate the planet using Human colonists.

Over time, the surviving Klingons focused their efforts on increasing their limited numbers, and striking back at the empire.

Rather than breaking the spirit of the Klingons, the Ranger achieved only a surface conquest. The Klingons rebelled against the Empire and are beginning to go from a nuisance to a potential threat against Imperial power. It is for this very reason that the Prime Directive was established. Mercy is the worst trait a starship captain can show to a world because it gives subject races and new species hope, keeping that spark of rebellion alive rather than crushing it utterly.

2140's--Vulcan High Command carries out a secret mission to the Tomed sector to engage a breakaway race from their long civil war two millenia earlier, the Romulans.

By the 21st and 22nd centuries, the Vulcans would have also made contact with the Cardassians, Trill, Tholians, Klingons, and scores of other races. (DS9: "Destiny"; ENT: "Broken Bow", "Future Tense")

2151-2194 The Aenar, a pacifist race living on Andor, begin to openly protest the war, a move which wins over many Vulcans through their shared telepathic abilities. Earth exterminates the Aenar population, which angers the Andorians, including those who had supported the Empire, but had viewed the Aenar as an internal issue. Andorians join Vulcans in a rebellion against the Terran Empire. Soon members of other conquered species join the rebels, such as Orions and Tellarites. Hoshi Sato of the ISS Enterprise siezes the throne but is overthrown by her Andorian consort, General Shran of the Imperial Guard. Shran's victory is short-lived, as war breaks out with the Romulan Star Empire. The Klingons take advantage of this to strike back with raids deep into the empire's territory, stealing ships and supplies. Qo'nos's moon, Praxis, is blown up in an act of terrorism; Klingon ships massacre the remaining Human colonists and reclaim their homeworld. Vulcans remain silent on Romulan origins, but it soon becomes apparent they're related when Earth and its allies are overrun. The Andorians and Tellarites are wiped out.

A decade later humans were able to overthrow their Romulan conquerors, and together humans and Vulcans pushed into Romulan space over the next twenty-five years, after which the Romulan home worlds fell, and the last remnants of the Romulan Empire were some planets bordering the Klingons, who have rebuilt their empire considerably, and war broke out with them once again. A truce was established, but wars would be fought off and on over the next several decades. The uneasy Earth-Vulcan partnership first formed against the Kzinti is cemented to counter the Klingon threat. In this universe the Organians never evolved into non-corporeal beings, and the Terran-Klingon conflict was "on again" when the Empire attempted to force the Halkan to yield their planet's dilithium crystals.

Mission date 3739.8

Transporter malfunction cause four crewmembers of the I.S.S. Enterprise to change places with their counterparts from an alternate universe.

Kirk will subsequently become one of the most famous names in history. Influenced by his captain’s counterpart, the mirror Spock overthrows his own Kirk as captain of the Enterprise and secures rights to Halka’s dilithium for the Vulcan Mineral Syndicate on Mission Date 3823.7 in exchange for a promise on his part to follow through on the other Kirk’s urging. He transfers to Station K-7 on 4428.9, where he will help expose a Klingon plot to poison the Empire’s grain supplies. His next assignment is the I.S.S. Lexington under Robert Wesley. He assumes command of the Lexington on 5031.8, but subsequently transfers off to enter Vulcan politics while retaining his Starfleet rank of Admiral. Kirk's son David Marcus will also play a pivotal role in the Empire's history.

10 years later--Spock siezes the throne and abolishes the title of emperor. He institutes reforms that allow an Imperial Senate appointed by governors of the occupied worlds to appoint senators, and people to elect representatives to a Forum, and proposes withdrawing forces from the occupied worlds. The Halkans gain influence in Spock's government with their pacifist views, and Spock is elected to a five-year term as Commander-in-Chief, but then Starfleet moves against him.

12 years later--Spock is overthrown and executed. He is able to place his katra into a follower who escaped and witnesses the birth of a resistance. David Marcus, realizing how different his father had turned out on the other side, attempts to form a resistance on Earth.

15-18 years later--Marcus learns some Romulans have survived on planets near Klingon space and investigates these claims. He becomes involved with a half-Romulan, half-Vulcan named Saavik.
