2384

The following events occurred in the year **2384** according to the Earth calendar and corresponds to the stardate period 61000 to 61999.

## Events

* The Archein Empire, a power in the Andromeda Galaxy opens a wormhole to the Beta Quadrant, and begins an invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy. (ODY: "Iliad")

February

* **16 February (stardate 61125.8)**: On a mission to destroy the Archein wormhole generator in Andromeda, the USS *Odyssey* is stranded. Many of the crew are killed, among them half the command staff. (ODY: "Iliad")

May
* **27 May (stardate 61403.7)**: Having reached Federation space, the USS *Protostar* is attacked by an armada of Starfleet vessels. Despite the efforts of the *Protostar* crew, and Admiral Kathryn Janeway aboard the USS *Dauntless*, a communications signal is sent allowing the living construct to infect the fleet as each ship automatically spreads the signal. Many more starships answer the automated distress signals and are destroyed or severely damaged in the firefight, with their crews unable to regain control of their systems. The *Protostar* crew is able to stop the assault by setting their ship's protostar drive to self-destruct as it jumps into proto-warp, spreading the destruction out along the ship's trajectory. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 1", "Supernova, Part 2")

* A number Starfleet vessels destroyed in the Living Construct's assault, while many more are severely damaged, including the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701-E). (PRO: "Supernova, Part 2")

June
* One month after the destruction of the *Protostar*, Admiral Janeway is debriefed at Starfleet Headquarters. Shortly thereafter, the six members of the *Protostar* crew are brought before a Starfleet tribunal, where Janeway argues in their favor. The end result is that five of them will be assigned as warrant officers-in-training under her command, while Gwyn indicates she declined the offer so she could travel to Solum, the Vau N'Akat homeworld, and work to prevent the coming civil war there. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 2")

September

* Wormhole activity is detected, leading to anticipation of a second Archein invasion.
* **21 September (stardate 61723.8)**: Operation Beta Shield establishes a joint Starfleet-KDF task force to defend the Beta Quadrant from Archein assault and find a way to destroy their wormholes. (*Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield*)

November

* Bajor renews its application for Federation membership. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

## Personal

### Assignments and promotions

* **June-July**: Admiral Kathryn Janeway is given command of the USS *Voyager* (NCC-74656-A). Dal R'El, Jankom Pog, Rok-Tahk, Murf and Zero all join her crew as warrant officers-in-training. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 2")
* **September**: Elizabeth Shelby is promoted to the rank of Commodore, and assigned joint command of Operation Beta Shield alongside General Korg. (*Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield*)
* According to S'Tal, as of this year, there are 1,807 Bajorans serving in science positions within Starfleet, 19 of whom were on ships assigned to the Operation Beta Shield defense fleet. (*Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield*)

*This number did not include Ro Nevin, who was missing and presumed deceased at the time.*

### Deaths

* **May**: The Vau N'Akat known as The Diviner is killed by Ascencia aboard the USS *Protostar*. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 1")

## *Possibilities*

*The following data points constitute conjectural events that may or may occur.*
March

* During a classified summit on Orion Prime, Federation President Nanietta Bacco and Imperator Sozzerozs of the Gorn Hegemony are assassinated.

*As events would have played out in the* TNG *novel:* Silent Weapons *without Data's prior resurrection.*
* After the assassination, control of the Gorn Hegemony falls to King Xrathis, who sends a fleet to the Orion system, which is met by a Starfleet armada. War seems inevitable, though no one knows on whom.

* The Romulan Star Empire and other factions officially condemn the assassinations. However, once the the Breen Confederacy is eventually revealed to be behind the plot, the entire Typhon Pact is thrown into disarray. The Romulans and Kinshaya disavow the Confederacy's actions, while the Tholian Assembly and Tzenkethi Coalition give their tacit support.
* In actuality, the assassination's success was not part of the Breen's plan. The Breen merely wished to distract the Federation in order to accomplish another objective entirely, the retrieval of of jump-ship from another universe, which had crashed on a remote Federation world. The attack only succeeded because of Undine intervention.

* The Federation Council selects a President Pro Tempore, and calls for a special election to take place in one month's time.

April
* Se'Fron of Efros is elected President of the United Federation of Planets.

*Adapted from* Hidden Frontier*, based on a combined timeline with the Litverse and events leading into* Star Trek: Picard*.*
## *Other realities*

* *In an alternate timeline, Jake Sisko marries Azeni Korena this year or the year after. (DS9: "The Visitor")*

### *Star Trek: Hidden Frontier* timeline

October

* **1 October (stardate 61750)**: Federation President Se'Fron is killed in an accident aboard *Starfleet One*. (*Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield*)

November
* Karah Vindenpawl of Vrijheid IV is elected President of the United Federation of Planets. (*Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield*)

### *Star Trek Online* timeline

* **08 August (stardate 61602.00)**: Praetor Tal'Aura is assassinated in her sleep. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

*It is quite likely this occurred earlier outside of the STO timeline*
* **30 October (stardate 61829.83)**: The IKS *Quv* is attacked by a Gorn vessel, resulting in the deaths of 207 Klingon warriors and the capture of the surviving crew. According to King Xrathis, the commander of the warship was acting without orders. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)
* After Xrathis refuses to repatriate the *Quv* survivors to the Klingon Empire, Chancellor Martok expels all Gorn diplomats from the empire and orders ships to the Klingon-Gorn border. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

December

* Odo, acting as the Great Link's ambassador, meets with Laas on Koralis III. Odo invites Laas to return with him to the Link, but Laas refuses the offer and instead chooses to remain the Alpha Quadrant searching for others of the Hundred. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)
