***** In ST4 Cartwright "talks" to the captain of the Yorktown, whose

since this time (perhaps indicating his graduation from Starfleet 
Academy) - TNG6 "Realm of Fear." Data is promoted to Lieutenant Junior 
Grade - TNG1 "Datalore."
 
***** I have based Data's promotions on what Data said to Lore in 
"Datalore" about how long he spent in the various ranks before becoming a 
LCDR. These lengths of service can be interpreted in a few different ways 
so the dates I give are not completely accurate.

the little we know about Jack's death.
 
2355
The Constellation class USS Stargazer is attacked and disabled by a (then 
unknown) Ferengi vessel in the Maxia Zeta Star System. The Ferengi vessel

NOTES (I haven't done a very good job on the notes section. There are a 
number of things that I have to explain each time I post this and these 
explanations should be in this section.)
 
STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK
During his inspection of the Enterprise, Admiral Morrow states that the 
Enterprise is 20 years old and that it is scheduled to be scrapped. In 
reference to the age of the Enterprise (40 years), I think the good 
Admiral has his figures messed up, or perhaps he is referring to a major 
refit that might have occurred 20 years ago (close to the time Kirk took 
command, 2268.) As to why the Enterprise, which recently (less than 10 
years ago) underwent an extensive redesign/refit is to be scrapped, it is 
quite possible that it has more to do with Starfleet politics (the 
Genesis Incident) than the actual age or condition of the ship. I'm sure 
Kirk has made a few enemies in the Admiralty of Starfleet Command who 
would love to put Kirk in his place by depriving him of his ship. It 
could also have been Starfleet's way of getting Admiral "Captain" Kirk 
back to solid ground so they can tie him to his desk and keep him there.
 
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION "SKIN OF EVIL" & STARDATES
Following the episode "Skin Of Evil" there are three episodes that Tasha 
Yar is in that have Stardates later than "Skin Of Evil." 
        Skin Of Evil                        Stardate 41601.3        Tasha 
Yar dies
        The Battle                        Stardate 41723.9        Tasha 
Yar appears
        The Arsenal Of Freedom        Stardate 41798.2        Tasha Yar 
appears
        The Big Goodbye                Stardate 41997.7        Tasha Yar 
appears
This lends credibility to the opinion that Stardates do not represent 
absolute linear time progression. I recall reading somewhere that 
Stardates also represent position in the galaxy as well as time. A quick 
glance at the Stardates of The Original Series shows that the Stardates 
jump around quite a bit. The Stardates of The Next Generation are more 
ordered, all first season episodes beginning with "41", second season 
with "42", third season with "43", etc. In reality, I have no idea how 
Stardates work and what they mean. It looks like the Original series 
writers reached into a hat and drew out numbers, while the production 
staff of The Next Generation are making an effort to create more 
consistent Stardates. Heres wha the Next Generation Technical Manual has 
to say: "The use of stardates is, among other things, intended to suggest 
a timekeeping system that takes into account relativistic time dilation 
as well as any temporal effects of warp speeds."
 
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION "SAREK".
In the third season (2236) TNG episode "Sarek" Picard states Sarek's age 
as 202. However, in he second season (2271) TOS episode "Journey to 
Babel" Sarek precisely states his age as 102.437. This creates a five 
year discrepancy between TOS and TNG. I am using Sareks age from "Journey 
To Babel" and assuming that Picard made a mistake. It would be unlikely 
that a Vulcan would forget his own age, but quite reasonable that Picard 
might not know Sareks exact age. Picard is human and therefore is capable 
of making a simple mistake. Thats it--its just a mistake!
