## Other realities

### First Splinter timeline

August-September

* Upon receiving an urgent request for help from his former crewmate Thirishar ch'Thane, Dr. Julian Bashir gathers medical professionals from Starfleet and across the Federation together, under the guise of a medical conference, but actually to develop and refine a cure for the Andorians' condition from the Taurus meta-genome, in contravention of Federation policy. Bashir defies Starfleet orders, resigns his commission and delivers the cure to Andor, where he is granted asylum. Parliament Andoria undergoes a change in leadership as the previously Tholian-backed government crumbles and a progressive coalition is formed, which initiates the process of returning to the Federation. (*Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *A Ceremony of Losses*)

September

* Elim Garak is elected Castellan of the Cardassian Union, succeeding Rakena Garan. (*Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *The Crimson Shadow*)

November

* Andoria rejoins the United Federation of Planets. (*Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *Peaceable Kingdoms*)

### *The Path to 2409*

* In the Federation, with no significant recorded contact with the Borg Collective for several years, Starfleet shuts down its Borg task force after analysts reach the conclusion that the USS *Voyager* must have dealt them a worse blow in 2377 than first believed. Many in the fleet, including Seven of Nine, believe this to be a grave error. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

* **25 March (stardate 62230.13)**: The Klingon Empire announces that it is expelling all non-Klingon residents of Khitomer and the conquered border worlds as "a safety measure." The Empire initially gives a deadline of 14 days, but Chancellor Martok agrees to extend the deadline after speaking with Captain Worf of the USS *Enterprise*. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

*In the original STO timeline, Picard was still in command of the* Enterprise-E *and was the one who spoke with Martok.*
* The USS *Enterprise*-E enters drydock at San Francisco Fleet Yards for a year-long refit. (*Star Trek Online*: *The Path to 2409*)

*In the original STO timeline, the refit was performed at Utopia Planitia.*
* Later, Captain Worf also resigns his commission, believing that he can better serve both the Federation and the Empire in a diplomatic role, and returns to Qo'noS in an effort to preserve an alliance that grows more fragile by the day. After taking up residence on Qo'noS, Ambassador Worf begins a relationship with Lady Grilka. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

* Beverly Crusher, the last of the original *Enterprise-D* command staff still serving aboard the *Enterprise*-E, requests reassignment. Accepting a promotion to captain, she assumes command of the USS *Pasteur*. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

* After Starfleet disbands its Borg research task force in order to redeploy those resources elsewhere, Seven of Nine, too, leaves the fleet. She briefly considers accepting a position at the Daystrom Institute, but rejects the notion as she considers the Institute too beholden to Federation policy. Instead, she joins the Fenris Rangers. (STO: *The Path to 2409*, PIC: "Stardust City Rag")
