"Star Trek": Was ist die Sternzeit & wie wird sie errechnet?

|  Von:  Redaktion CHIP

Star Trek: Das verbirgt sich hinter der "Sternzeit"

In Star Trek ist die Sternzeit ein Zeitmaß innerhalb der Föderation, das in Dezimalzahlen angegeben wird. Im 22. Jahrhundert ist diese Zeiteinheit bereits bekannt, dennoch wird die Zeit auf der Enterprise noch in irdischer Form gemessen. Die genauen Anfänge der Sternzeitrechnung sind nicht bekannt.

Im 23. Jahrhundert setzen sich die Sternzeiten jedoch immer weiter durch. Selbst Geburts- und Todesdaten werden in Sternzeiten anstelle irdischer Datumsangaben bestimmt. Die Sternzeiten werden dabei größtenteils in vier Dezimalzahlen angegeben mit einer optionalen Nachkommastelle. Ein Jahrhundert darauf wird fast vollständig auf die irdische Zeitrechnung verzichtet. Sämtliche Logbucheinträge, Dienstakten, Widmungsplatten werden mit Sternzeiten versehen. Dabei bestehen die Zeitangaben aus fünf Dezimalzahlen mit bis zu vier Nachkommastellen in einem Bereich von 22519,5 bis 56947.

Star Trek: Sternzeit wurde nicht immer nach dem selben System berechnet

In der Originalserie sind die Sternzeitangaben willkürlich gewählt. In The Next Generation entsprechen die Tausender der Nummer der laufenden Staffel. Somit spielt die erste Staffel in einer Sternzeit von 4-1-000 bis 4-1-999. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine und Star Trek: Voyager wurde dieses System einfach weitergeführt.

In Star Trek bis Star Trek Beyond wurde eine völlig neue Berechnung der Sternzeit eingeführt. Sie setzt sich dabei aus dem jeweiligen Jahr mit dem entsprechenden Tag des Jahres zusammen. So entspricht die Sternzeit 2258,53 dem 53. Tag des Jahres 2258. Beziehungen zur irdischen Zeitrechnung variieren mit den Formaten der Sternzeit. In der Originalserie wird so zum Beispiel angedeutet, dass eine Sternzeit-Einheit etwa einem Tag entspricht.

Twenty-fourth Century Stardates

Calculating calendar dates in the next generation, deep space nine, and voyager.

While there have been very few references to actual dates in more than 700 episodes of Star Trek , it is possible to derive a fairly accurate correlation between the fictional Stardate system and calendar dates in The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager , based on facts from actual episodes and some calendar math . Facts: Fact: The Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone," with a Stardate of 41986.0, gave the calendar year as 2364 at the end of the first season . Fact: The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" took place during the Hindu Festival of Lights . The episode aired the week of January 9, 1991 (two and a half years after "The Neutral Zone"), with a Stardate of 44390.1. Fact: Diwali , the five-day Festival of Lights, starts on the New Moon ending the month of Asvina on the Hindu calendar, which typically is the date of the New Moon in India nearest to Halloween. Fact: According to the Calendar Mine 2.0 perpetual calendar, November 3 is the date of the New Moon and the start of Diwali in the year 2366 on Earth. Therefore, the Hindu Festival of Lights would be celebrated in a five-day period starting on November 3, 2366, and ending on November 7, 2366, so Stardate 44390.1 must be within that date span. Fact: The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" also states that Stardate 44390.1 is the 1,550th day since the U.S.S. Enterprise was commissioned. Fact: In The Next Generation episode "All Good Things..." Picard states that he first met Q seven years before Stardate 47988. Their first meeting was depicted on Stardate 41153.7 in "ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT." Fact: In the Voyager episode "EYE OF THE NEEDLE," Commander Chakotay states that the current year is 2371, with a Stardate of 48579.4. Fact: The Voyager episode "THE 37's" gave the calendar year as 2371 at the beginning of the second season, with a Stardate of 48975.1. Fact: In the Voyager episode "FUTURE'S END," information downloaded from the U.S.S. Voyager 's computer indicates that the Voyager was launched in the year 2371. The first episode of Voyager , "CARETAKER," took place on Stardate 48315.6. Fact: The date for the Voyager episode "11:59" was given as April 22, 2375. (No Stardate was given in the episode, but episodes airing before and after it had Stardates of 52647 and 52861.274.) Fact: The movie STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT showed that humans made first contact with Vulcans on April 5, 2063. Fact: In the Voyager episode "HOMESTEAD," the crew is celebrating the 315th anniversary of First Contact Day. The following day, a captain's log is recorded on Stardate 54868.6. Fact: An average Earth year comprises about 365.2422 mean solar days. Calculations: Given the above facts, a consistent Stardate system must incorporate the following dates: Stardate 41986.0 must be in the year 2364 ("The Neutral Zone"). Stardate 44390.1 must be between November 3, 2366, and November 7, 2366 ( "Data's Day" ). Stardate 47988 takes place seven years after Stardate 41153.7 ( "ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT," "All Good Things..." ). Stardate 48315.6 must be in the year 2371 ( "FUTURE'S END," "CARETAKER" ). Stardate 48579.4 must be in the year 2371 ( "EYE OF THE NEEDLE" ). Stardate 48975.1 must be in the year 2371 ( "THE 37's" ). April 22, 2375, takes place between Stardates 52647 and 52861.274 (assuming the episodes before and after "11:59" were in chronological order). Stardate 54868.6 is the day after First Contact Day, the 315th anniversary of April 5, 2063 ( "HOMESTEAD," ). Since The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" and the Voyager episode "HOMESTEAD" both make references to holidays with known dates, these two episodes can be used to establish a Stardate-to-time ratio. However, "Data's Day" (with a Stardate of 44390.1) could take place any time from November 3, 2366, to November 7, 2366, and it is unclear whether "HOMESTEAD" (with a Stardate 54868.6) takes place in the year 2378 or 2377, so that leaves a window of four possible calendar date spans for a definite span of 10478.5 Stardates. (54868.6 - 44390.1 = 10478.5 Stardates) If "Data's Day" took place on November 3, 2366, and "HOMESTEAD" took place on April 6, 2378, then that would give a span of 4,172 days. If "Data's Day" took place on November 7, 2366, and "HOMESTEAD" took place on April 6, 2378, then that would give a span of 4,168 days. If "Data's Day" took place on November 3, 2366, and "HOMESTEAD" took place on April 6, 2377, then that would give a span of 3,807 days. If "Data's Day" took place on November 7, 2366, and "HOMESTEAD" took place on April 6, 2377, then that would give a span of 3,803 days. Given the four possible date spans above, that leaves four possible Stardate-to-time ratios: 4,172 days = 10478.5 Stardates, giving a ratio of 0.39814859 day per Stardate, (4,172 days / 10478.5 Stardates = 0.39814859 day/Stardate) which gives a ratio of 917.351484 Stardates/year . (365.2422 days per year / 0.39814859 day per Stardate = 917.351484 Stardates/year) 4,168 days = 10478.5 Stardates, giving a ratio of 0.397766856 day per Stardate, (4,168 days / 10478.5 Stardates = 0.397766856 day/Stardate) which gives a ratio of 918.23186 Stardates/year . (365.2422 days per year / 0.397766856 day per Stardate = 918.23186 Stardates/year) 3,807 days = 10478.5 Stardates, giving a ratio of 0.36331536 day per Stardate, (3,807 days / 10478.5 Stardates = 0.36331536 day/Stardate) which gives a ratio of 1005.30349 Stardates/year . (365.2422 days per year / 0.36331536 day per Stardate = 1005.30349 Stardates/year) 3,803 days = 10478.5 Stardates, giving a ratio of 0.362933626 day per Stardate, (3,803 days / 10478.5 Stardates = 0.362933626 day/Stardate) which gives a ratio of 1006.36087 Stardates/year . (365.2422 days per year / 0.362933626 day per Stardate = 1006.36087 Stardates/year) If we apply each of the four possible Stardate ratios above to the known fact of the Voyager 's launch date in 2371, then we get the following results: Using the lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 917.351484 Stardates/year , that would mean that the launch of the Voyager on Stardate 48315.6 ( "CARETAKER" ) would be 6553.0 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48315.6 = 6553.0) which would be 2,609.06771 days before April 6, 2378, (0.39814859 day per Stardate x 6553.0 Stardates = 2,609.06771 days) which would mean that "CARETAKER" took place on February 13, 2371. This fits with the fact that the Voyager was launched in 2371 ( "FUTURE'S END" ). Using the second-lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 918.23186 Stardates/year , that would mean that the launch of the Voyager on Stardate 48315.6 ( "CARETAKER" ) would be 6553.0 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48315.6 = 6553.0) which would be 2,606.56621 days before April 6, 2378, (0.397766856 day per Stardate x 6553.0 Stardates = 2,606.56621 days) which would mean that "CARETAKER" took place on February 16, 2371. This fits with the fact that the Voyager was launched in 2371 ( "FUTURE'S END" ). Using the second-highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 1005.30349 Stardates/year , that would mean that the launch of the Voyager on Stardate 48315.6 ( "CARETAKER" ) would be 6553.0 Stardates before April 6, 2377 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48315.6 = 6553.0) which would be 2,380.80555 days before April 6, 2377, (0.36331536 day per Stardate x 6553.0 Stardates = 2,380.80555 days) which would mean that "CARETAKER" took place on September 30, 2370. This does not fit with the fact that the Voyager was launched in 2371 ( "FUTURE'S END" ). Using the highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 1006.36087 Stardates/year , that would mean that the launch of the Voyager on Stardate 48315.6 ( "CARETAKER" ) would be 6553.0 Stardates before April 6, 2377 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48315.6 = 6553.0) which would be 2,378.30405 days before April 6, 2377, (0.362933626 day per Stardate x 6553.0 Stardates = 2,378.30405 days) which would mean that "CARETAKER" took place on October 2, 2370. This does not fit with the fact that the Voyager was launched in 2371 ( "FUTURE'S END" ). Given the above results, we can discard possibilities 3 and 4, since they do not fit with a Voyager launch date of 2371. Since these were the only two options in which the episode "HOMESTEAD" took place in 2377, then we can conclude that "HOMESTEAD" must have taken place in April 2378, the 315th anniversary of first contact with Vulcans on April 5, 2063 ( STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT ). (2063 + 315 = 2378) Having proven that "HOMESTEAD" must have taken place in April 2378, then that means that the only possible Stardate-to-year ratios are between 917.351484 Stardates/year and 918.23186 Stardates/year . If we apply each of these ratios to the fact that Stardate 48975.1 must be in the year 2371 ( "THE 37's" ), we get the following results: Using the lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 917.351484 Stardates/year , that would mean that "THE 37's" (on Stardate 48975.1) would be 5893.5 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48975.1 = 5893.5) which would be 2,346.48872 days before April 6, 2378, (0.39814859 day per Stardate x 5893.5 Stardates = 2,346.48872 days) which would mean that "THE 37's" took place on November 3, 2371. This fits with the stated year of 2371 in "THE 37's" . Using the highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 918.23186 Stardates/year , that would mean that "THE 37's" (on Stardate 48975.1) would be 5893.5 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 48975.1 = 5893.5) which would be 2,344.23897 days before April 6, 2378, (0.397766856 day per Stardate x 5893.5 Stardates = 2,344.23897 days) which would mean that "THE 37's" took place on November 5, 2371. This fits with the stated year of 2371 in "THE 37's" . If we apply each of the above ratios to the fact that Stardate 41986.0 must be in the year 2364 ("The Neutral Zone"), we get the following results: Using the lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 917.351484 Stardates/year , that would mean that TNG episode "The Neutral Zone" (on Stardate 41986.0) would be 12882.6 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 41986.0 = 12882.6) which would be 5,129.18903 days before April 6, 2378, (0.39814859 day per Stardate x 12882.6 Stardates = 5,129.18903 days) which would mean that "The Neutral Zone" took place on March 21, 2364. This fits with the stated year of 2364 in "The Neutral Zone." Using the highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio, 918.23186 Stardates/year ,that would mean that TNG episode "The Neutral Zone" (on Stardate 41986.0) would be 12882.6 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which had a Stardate of 54868.6, (54868.6 - 41986.0 = 12882.6) which would be 5,124.2713 days before April 6, 2378, (0.397766856 day per Stardate x 12882.6 Stardates = 5,124.2713 days) which would mean that "The Neutral Zone" took place on March 26, 2364. This fits with the stated year of 2364 in "The Neutral Zone." Conclusions: Given the above facts and calculations , we can conclude that: The Voyager episode "HOMESTEAD" (Stardate 54868.6) must have taken place on April 6, 2378. The highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio is 918.23186 Stardates per year (or 0.397766856 day to 1.0 Stardate , or 1.0 Stardate to 34,367.0564 seconds ). With the two above conclusions, it is possible to calculate a calendar date for any Stardate given in The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager . Given the date of Voyager episode "HOMESTEAD" (Stardate 54868.6) and a ratio of 918.23186 Stardates per year, it is now possible to calculate the starting point of The Next Generation Stardate system, i.e., Stardate 00000.0. Stardate 00000.0 would be 54868.6 Stardates before April 6, 2378 ( "HOMESTEAD" ), which, given the Stardate-to-year ratio established above, would be 21,824.9105 days before April 6, 2378. (0.397766856 day/Stardate x 54868.6 Stardates = 21,824.9105 days) Subtracting 21,824 days, 1,311 minutes, from April 6, 2378, calculates to Friday, July 5, 2318, around noon. So we can conclude that Stardate 00000.0 started on Friday, July 5, 2318 , around noon (Starfleet Command time).

Twenty-third Century Stardates

Calculating calendar dates in the original series.

During the run of The Original Series , there were few references to dates, nor even to the century in which the series took place. Furthermore, the Stardates used in The Original Series had a different starting point than The Next Generation Stardates, so it is impossible to directly extrapolate dates backwards from The Next Generation . However, there were sufficient references in The Next Generation to retroactively calculate dates in The Original Series , with a few additional Stardate facts from episodes of The Original Series , The Next Generation , and Voyager . Facts: Fact: In The Next Generation episode "Sarek," Captain Picard states that Ambassador Sarek is 202 years old. The episode takes place on Stardate 43917.4, which, according to the above calculations , would take place on Tuesday, May 3, 2366. Thus, for Picard's statement to be true on that date, Sarek would have been born between May 4, 2163 and May 3, 2164. Fact: In The Original Series episode "JOURNEY TO BABEL," Ambassador Sarek states that he is precisely 102.437 Earth years old on Stardate 3842.4. Based on the above range determined for the date of Sarek's birth, "JOURNEY TO BABEL" must have taken place between October 11, 2265, and October 9, 2266. Fact: The American Thanksgiving holiday typically is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Fact: In The Original Series episode "CHARLIE X," the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is celebrating Thanksgiving. The given Stardates for this episode were 1533.6 and 1533.7. This is 2308.7 Stardates before Stardate 3842.4 in the episode "JOURNEY TO BABEL," which was determined above to have taken place between October 11, 2265, and October 9, 2266. (3842.4 - 1533.7 = 2308.7 Stardates) Fact: Captain Kirk's monologue in the opening titles of The Original Series established that the crew was on a five-year mission. The earliest Stardate in The Original Series was 1312.4 in "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE," and the latest Stardate was 5943.7 in "ALL OUR YESTERDAYS," a difference of 4631.3 Stardates. (5943.7 - 1312.4 = 4631.3 Stardates) Fact: If episodes of The Animated Series are also considered part of the original five-year mission, then the earliest Stardate was 1254.4 in the animated episode "THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU," and the latest Stardate was 7403.6 in the animated episode "BEM," a difference of 6149.2 Stardates. (7403.6 - 1254.4 = 6149.2 Stardates) Fact: In the Voyager episode "Q2," Icheb states that Kirk completed his historic five-year mission in 2270. Therefore, all episodes of The Original Series must have taken place after January 1, 2265 (assuming it was exactly five years), and before January 1, 2271. Fact: In the episode "DAGGER OF THE MIND," on Stardate 2715.1, Dr. Helen Noel said she met Captain Kirk at the Science Lab Christmas party. Fact: Christmas is traditionally celebrated on December 25, and office Christmas parties are typically celebrated sometime in December. Given the possible date range for the five-year mission established in "Q2," the Christmas party referred to in "DAGGER OF THE MIND" must have taken place between December 2265 and December 2270. Calculations: Thanksgiving in "CHARLIE X" took place before the episode "JOURNEY TO BABEL" -- which, as determined above, took place between October 11, 2265, and October 9, 2266 -- and Thanksgiving in "CHARLIE X" must have taken place after January 1, 2265, given the end date of the five-year mission in "Q2." Therefore, the only possible date for "CHARLIE X" would be November 23, 2265 (which is the fourth Thursday of the month, according to the perpetual calendar ). If the Christmas party referred to in "DAGGER OF THE MIND" is assumed to be the same year as Thanksgiving in "CHARLIE X," then there would be at least a month between the two episodes, a difference of 1181.4 Stardates (giving a ratio of less than 1,000 Stardates per month). If the Christmas party were the following year, then the difference of 1181.4 Stardates would span at least a year (which would give a ratio of at least 1,000 Stardates per year). The Christmas party referred to could not be from the year before Thanksgiving in "CHARLIE X," since the possible date range for the five-year mission established in "Q2" dictates that the five-year mission did not begin before 2265. Having calculated above that Stardate 1533.7 is on November 23, 2265 ( "CHARLIE X," ), and that Stardate 3842.4 ( "JOURNEY TO BABEL" ) must be between October 11, 2265, and October 9, 2266, the maximum span between Stardates 1533.7 and 3842.4 (a difference of 2308.7 Stardates) can be no more than 320 days (or 0.876130962 year). Therefore, there must be at least 2635.10833 Stardates per year (or at least 7.21468749 Stardates per day). (2308.7 Stardates / 0.876130962 year = 2635.10833 Stardates/year) This means that Stardate 0000.0 -- 1533.7 Stardates before November 23, 2265, in "CHARLIE X" -- must have started 0.582025408 year (212.58024 days) before that episode. (1533.7 Stardates / 2635.10833 Stardates/year = 0.582025408 year) So, assuming the lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio of 2635.10833 Stardates per year, Stardate 0000.0 began on Tuesday, April 25, 2265, at 00:00 hours. (November 23, 2265 - 212.58024 days = April 25, 2265) Conclusions: Given the above facts and calculations , we can conclude that: Stardate 0000.0 began on Tuesday, April 25, 2265, at 00:00 hours. The lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio is 2635.10833 Stardates per year (at least 7.21468749 Stardates per day , or less than 0.138606142 day per Stardate ). Therefore, in The Original Series , one Stardate is no more than 11,975,570.7 milliseconds (0.138606142 day = 11,975,570.7 milliseconds) Given the above starting point and the assumed ratio of 2635.10833 Stardates per year, it is possible to calculate the calendar date for any episode in The Original Series . For example, "DAGGER OF THE MIND," on Stardate 2715.1, would have taken place on May 6, 2266, just a few months after the Christmas party referred to in the episode. So the earliest Stardate in The Original Series -- 1312.4 in "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE" -- took place on October 23, 2265, and the latest Stardate -- 5943.7 in "ALL OUR YESTERDAYS" -- was on July 27, 2267. (The earliest Stardate in The Animated Series -- 1254.4 in "THE MAGICKS OF MEGAS-TU" -- would have taken place on October 15, 2265, and the latest Stardate -- 7403.6 in "BEM" -- would have taken place on February 15, 2268.)

Late Twenty-third Century Stardates

Calculating calendar dates in the movie series.

The first six Star Trek motion pictures continued the pattern of four-digit Stardates from The Original Series . However, it is clear that it is not a simple linear continuation of the same Stardate system. Therefore, either the time ratio of The Original Series Stardates changed mid-way through the original five-year mission and continued through the movies, or else the motion pictures use another Stardate system with a completely new starting point and different time ratio from The Original Series Stardates. Facts: Fact: In STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE , on Stardate 7410.2, Admiral James Kirk has been Chief of Starfleet Operations for the past two and a half years, and hasn't logged a single star hour in that time, since completing his five-year mission. So, based on the end date of the five-year mission established in "Q2," Stardate 7410.2 must be at least two and a half years after January 1, 2270. Fact: Since STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE , on Stardate 7410.2, takes place two and a half years after Captain Kirk's original five-year mission ended, then it must be at least two and a half years after the latest Stardate in The Original Series -- 5943.7 in "ALL OUR YESTERDAYS" -- a difference of 1466.5 Stardates. (7410.2 - 5943.7 = 1466.5 Stardates) Fact: If episodes of The Animated Series are also considered part of the original five-year mission, then STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE , on Stardate 7410.2, must take place at least two and a half years after the latest Stardate -- 7403.6 in the animated episode "BEM" -- a difference of 0006.6 Stardates. (7410.2 - 7403.6 = 0006.6 Stardates) Fact: In STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE , on Stardate 7410.2, V'ger is less than three days away from Earth. On Stardate 7414.1, V'ger reaches Earth, so a span of 0003.9 Stardates must be less than three days. (7414.1 - 7410.2 = 0003.9 Stardates) Fact: In STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN , the Project Genesis video proposal was recorded by Dr. Carol Marcus on Stardate 7130.4. After Stardate 8130.4, Admiral Kirk states that the tape was made "about a year ago." Fact: In STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN , on Stardate 8130.4, Khan has been stranded on Ceti Alpha Five for 15 years, since Stardate 3143.3 in the episode "SPACE SEED" -- which, according to The Original Series Stardate calculations above, would have taken place on July 4, 2266. Therefore, Stardate 8130.4 must take place after July 4, 2281 (assuming Khan is talking about Earth years and not Ceti Alpha Five years). Fact: In STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN , on Stardate 8130.3, Dr. McCoy gives Admiral Kirk a bottle of Romulan Ale (vintage 2283) for his birthday. Therefore, Stardate 8130.3 must take place after 2283 (assuming 2283 is an Earth year, and not a Romulan year or a Stardate). Fact: In STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK , around Stardate 8210.3, Starfleet Commander Morrow states that the U.S.S. Enterprise is twenty years old. An officer later refers to Uhura as a twenty-year space veteran. Fact: In STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK , the U.S.S. Enterprise flight recorder shows that Spock was dying from radiation poisoning after escaping the Genesis Device detonation on Stardate 8128.78. On Stardate 8128.77, Spock had just been exposed to radiation. Stardates 8128.76.00 to 8128.76.32 spanned a few seconds in which Spock performed a mind-meld with Dr. McCoy before entering the irradiated Engineering chamber. Fact: In STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME , on Stardate 8390, the U.S.S. Enterprise crew has been on Vulcan for three months (since just after Stardate 8210.3 in STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK ). Therefore, a span of 179.7 Stardates represents at least three months (8390 - 8210.3 = 179.7 Stardates) , so 718.8 Stardates would span at least 12 months (179.7 Stardates/3 months x 4/4 = 718.8 Stardates/12 months) . Fact: In STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER , on Stardate 8454.1, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A has been under repairs for at least three weeks. The starship was first seen sometime after Stardate 8390 in STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME , so there must be at least a month in the span of 64.1 Stardates (8454.1 - 8390 = 64.1 Stardates) ; therefore, there must be at least a year in a span of 769.2 Stardates (64.1 Stardates x 12 = 769.2 Stardates) . Fact: In STAR TREK VI: The Undiscovered Country , on Stardate 9521.6, the U.S.S. Excelsior detected the destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis, three years after Captain Sulu took command. Two months later, Starfleet Command sends the U.S.S. Enterprise on a diplomatic mission, and Captain Kirk records a log entry on Stardate 9522.6. A few days later, Captain Kirk records his final log entry on Stardate 9529.1. Therefore, a span of 1.0 Stardate is at least two months. (9522.6 - 9521.6 = 1.0 Stardate) . Fact: In STAR TREK VI: The Undiscovered Country , after Stardate 9522.6, McCoy states that he has been ship's surgeon aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise for 27 years. Fact: In the Voyager episode "FLASHBACK," after Stardate 50126.4, Tuvok states that his first deep space assignment aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior , on Stardate 9521, was approximately 80 years ago, when he was 29 years old. Given the assumed date of Tuvok's birth on October 14, 2266, then Stardate 9521 must be at least 29 years after October 14, 2266. However, this conflicts with McCoy's statement that he has been aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise for only 27 years, since his earliest appearance, on Stardate 1512.2 in "THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER," was almost a year before Tuvok's birth .

Star Trek XI-XII Stardates

Calculating calendar dates in the latest movie.

Fact: In STAR TREK , on Stardate 2258.42, Ambassador Spock states that Stardate 2387 is about 129 years in the future, and Stardate 2233.04 is about 25 years in the past. (2387 - 2258.42 = 128.58 Stardates) , (2258.42 - 2233.04 = 25.38 Stardates) . Fact: An average Earth year comprises about 365.2422 mean solar days. Therefore, each 100th of a year would be 3.652422 days. (1 year / 100 = 365.2422 days / 100 = 3.652422 days) . Fact: In STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS , Stardate 2259.55 is approximately one year later than the events in the previous movie (whose Stardate was 2258.42). . Conclusion: The new STAR TREK film appears to use a ratio of one Stardate per year; more specifically, the Stardates in the film are consistent with the actual Earth calendar years expressed with two decimal places (presumably representing hundredths of the calendar year). These new Stardates are used to express calendar dates both before The Original Series Stardates and after The Next Generation Stardates . Using this information, and the above TNG Stardate Calculator and TOS Stardate Calculator , these new Stardates can be compared with calendar dates from both The Original Series and The Next Generation . For example, Ambassador Spock's given Stardate of 2387 in STAR TREK would take place about eight years after the latest known TNG Stardate in STAR TREK: NEMESIS , whose given Stardate of 56844.9 would be around March 29, 2379, according to the above TNG Stardate Calculator . Also, the given Stardate of 2258.42 in STAR TREK , when James Kirk is around 25 years old, would take place about seven years before the earliest Stardate in The Original Series , 1312.4 in "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE," which would be around October 24, 2265, according to the above TOS Stardate Calculator . Kirk's birth on Stardate 2233.04 depicted in STAR TREK would be around January 15, 2233 , assuming Stardate 2233.00 corresponds with 00:00 hours on January 1, 2233. (00:00 January 1, 2233 + 0.04 x 365.2422 days = 00:00 January 1, 2233 + 14.609688 days) . Given Kirk's birth date of January 15, 2233 (assuming his birth date in the alternate universe depicted in STAR TREK was the same as, or close to, his birth date in The Original Series ), his exact age can now be calculated for any Stardate given in an episode of The Original Series . In addition, in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN , Admiral Kirk is celebrating his birthday on Stardate 8130.3 when Dr. McCoy gives him a bottle of Romulan Ale (vintage 2283). Therefore, Stardate 8130.3 (in The Movie Series Stardate system ) must take place around January 15 in some year after 2283 (or a few weeks after January 15, if it is assumed that the alternate events depicted in STAR TREK caused Kirk to be born prematurely).

Date inconsistencies in episodes

While the episodes and assumptions cited above present a fairly accurate and consistent theory for calculating Stardates, there are many other date references -- mostly vague references to years -- that conflict with that theory, though these exceptions do not clearly establish a more-consistent alternative theory, so they may be regarded as errors. Stardate-to-year ratios: In The Original Series episode "THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER" , the span between Stardate 1512.2 and Stardate 1513.8 is described as "18 hours." That is a difference of 1.6 Stardate units (1513.8 - 1512.2 = 1.6 Stardates) . If 1.6 Stardates are 18 hours, then 1 Stardate would equal 11.25 hours (18 hours / 1.6 Stardates = 11.25 hours/Stardate) , and 2.13333333333 Stardates would be one day (24 hours/day / 11.25 hours/Stardate = 2.13333333333 Stardates/day) , so 779.18336 Stardates would be about a year (2.13333333333 Stardates/day x 365.2422 days/year = 779.18336 Stardates/year) . Given the above calculations that there must be at least 2635.10833 Stardates per year (or at least 7.21468749 Stardates per day), the Stardates and hours stated in "THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER" are inconsistent with the overall progression of Stardates in The Original Series . In The Original Series episode "THE GAMESTERS OF TRISKELION" , the span between Stardate 3211.8 and Stardate 3259.2 is described as "nearly two hours." That is a difference of 47.4 Stardate units (3259.2 - 3211.8 = 47.4 Stardates) . If 47.4 Stardates are nearly two hours, then 568.8 Stardates would be nearly a day (47.4 Stardates/2 hours x 24 hours/day = 568.8 Stardates/day ) , and 207,749.76 Stardates would be nearly a year (568.8 Stardates/day x 365.2422 days/year = 207749.76 Stardates/year) . This is inconsistent with the slow progression of four-digit Stardates throughout The Original Series , demonstrating that Stardate spans shown within single episodes cannot be extrapolated to measure Stardates across multiple episodes. In The Next Generation episode " Pen Pals ," the Enterprise enters the Selcundi Drema Sector on Stardate 42695.3. On Stardate 42696.3, Lieutenant Commander Data picks up an alien radio signal. On Stardate 42737.3, Captain Picard states that it has been six weeks since the Enterprise entered the Selcundi Drema Sector. Shortly before Stardate 42741.3, Data says he picked up the alien transmission eight weeks ago. So there is a span of 42.0 Stardates in six weeks (42737.3 - 42695.3 = 42.0 Stardates) , for a ratio of about 7.0 Stardates per week, and a span of 45.0 Stardates in at least eight weeks (42741.3 - 42696.3 = 45.0 Stardates) , for a ratio of 5.625 Stardates per week. These ratios would extrapolate to about 1 Stardate per day, or between 292 and 365 Stardates per year . In The Next Generation episode "The Best of Both Worlds" Part II ," the battle between Starfleet and the Borg at Wolf 359 starts after Stardate 44001.4. and shortly before Stardate 44002.3. In the Deep Space Nine episode "EMISSARY," it was stated that Captain Picard was kidnapped by the Borg on Stardate 43997 for six days, during which he led an assault on Starfleet at Wolf 359, resulting in the death of Jennifer Sisko. Three years later, on Stardate 46379.1, Commander Sisko is reassigned to station Deep Space Nine in orbit of Bajor. So there is a span of about 2376.8 Stardates in three years (46379.1 - 44002.3 = 2376.8 Stardates) , for a ratio of about 792.266666667 Stardates per year (2376.8 Stardates / 3 years = 792.266666667 Stardates/year) . In the Deep Space Nine episode "SECOND SIGHT," on Stardate 47329.4, Commander Sisko records a personal log stating that the previous day was the fourth anniversary of the massacre at Wolf 359 and the death of Jennifer Sisko. So there is a span of about 3327.1 Stardates in four years (47329.4 - 44002.3 = 3327.1 Stardates) , for a ratio of about 831.775 Stardates per year (3327.1 Stardates / 4 years = 831.775 Stardates/year) . (It is unclear whether Sisko is describing Earth years or Bajoran years, since he is on a Bajoran station with 26 hours per day.) In the Voyager episode "RELATIVITY" , Seven of Nine states on Stardate 49123.5621 that the Voyager will be destroyed in three years, six months and two days, on Stardate 52861.274 -- a difference of 3737.7119 Stardates. This is a span of 1,280 to 1,282 days (3.504522888 to 3.509998705 years), depending on leap years and lengths of different months, giving a ratio of around 1,065 Stardates per year . In the Voyager episode "TIMELESS," Captain Janeway states that the Voyager has been in the Delta Quadrant for four years, two months, and 11 days. The following morning, around 08:00 hours, she records a log entry on Stardate 52143.6. In the Voyager episode "CARETAKER," the Voyager was brought to the Delta Quadrant three days before Stardate 48315.6 -- a difference of 3828.0 Stardates before "TIMELESS." Therefore, there is a span of 1,531 days (4.191737923 years) in a span of 3828.0 Stardates, giving a ratio of 913.225 Stardates per year . Between Day 65 and Day 70 of the Voyager episode "YEAR OF HELL," a captain's log was recorded on Stardate 51268.4 (May 5, 2374, according to the above calculations ), and Chakotay later mentions that it is May 20 (Captain Janeway's birthday). In "YEAR OF HELL, PART II," on Day 133 a captain's log is recorded on Stardate 51425.4 (July 6, 2374, according to the above calculations ). Between Day 207 and Day 257, Janeway mentions her birthday was "five months ago;" she later records a captain's log on Stardate 51682.2 (October 16, 2374, according to the above calculations ). On Day 1 after the timeline is restored, a captain's log is recorded on Stardate 51252.3 (April 28, 2374, according to the above calculations ). Therefore, there is a span of 16.1 Stardates in the first 64 days of the "YEAR OF HELL" (51268.4 - 51252.3 = 16.1 Stardates) , giving a ratio of 0.2515625 Stardate per day (16.1 Stardates / 64 days = 0.2515625 Stardate/day) , or 91.88 Stardates per year . The captain's log recorded between Day 207 and Day 257 would be 429.9 Stardates after Day 1 (51682.2 - 51252.3 = 429.9 Stardates) and at least "five months" or 413.8 Stardates after Day 65 (51682.2 - 51268.4 = 413.8 Stardates) . These date spans give a possible ratio of around 700 to 1,000 Stardates per year . The captain's log recorded on Stardate 51425.4 on Day 133 would be 173.1 Stardates after Stardate 51252.3 on Day 1 (51425.4 - 51252.3 = 173.1 Stardates) , giving a span of 173.1 Stardates in 132 days, or a ratio of 1.3113636364 Stardates per day (173.1 Stardates / 132 days = 1.3113636364 Stardates/day) , or 478.96533956 Stardates per year . In The Next Generation episode "The Naked Now," Data first uses his sexual techniques just after Stardate 41209.3 (May 22, 2363, according to the above calculations ). In STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT , a couple days after Stardate 50893.5 (December 7, 2373, according to the above calculations ), Data states that he last used his programming in sexual techniques eight years, seven months, sixteen days, four minutes, twenty-two seconds ago (which, according to the date calculator , would be a couple days after April 21, 2365, or after Stardate 42973, according to the above calculations ; this would place Data's last use of his programming in sexual techniques between the last two episodes in The Next Generation 's second season ). However, if Data used his programming in sexual techniques only twice -- in "The Naked Now" and STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT -- then the span of "eight years, seven months, sixteen days, four minutes, twenty-two seconds" (or 272,333,062 seconds) would be a little more than the span between Stardates 41209.3 and 50893.5 (9684.2 Stardates), giving a ratio of less than 9684.2 Stardates per 272,333,062 seconds (or 8.62989831 years), or less than 1122.16849517 Stardates per year . ( 9684.2 Stardates / 8.62989831 years = 1122.16849517 Stardates/year) (50893.5 - 41209.3 = 9684.2 Stardates) . That gives a ratio of more than 1122.5 Stardates per year (9684.2 Stardates / 8.6274 years = 1122.5 Stardates/year) . From and including: Wednesday, April 21, 2365 at 4:52:02 AM To, but not including : Friday, December 7, 2373 at 4:56:24 AM The duration is 3152 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes and 22 seconds Or 8 years, 7 months, 16 days, 4 minutes, 22 seconds Alternative time units 3152 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes and 22 seconds can be converted to one of these units: 272,333,062 seconds 4,538,884 minutes (rounded down) 75,648 hours (rounded down) 450 weeks (rounded down) From date: Friday, December 7, 2373 at 4:56:24 AM Subtracted 8 years, 7 months, 16 days, 4 minutes, 22 seconds Resulting date: Wednesday, April 21, 2365 at 4:52:02 AM (last used) May 22 2363 (first used) --> Given the wild inconsistencies of Stardate ratios in different episodes, some varying by a factor of ten, there can be no conclusive determination of an actual Stardate-to-year ratio for all episodes. Therefore, the ratio of 918.23186 Stardates per year , as calculated above , will remain the basic assumption upon which the above TNG Stardate Calculator is based. Tuvok's Birthday In the Voyager episode "EX POST FACTO," it is stated that Tuvok has been married for 67 years. In the Voyager episode "FLASHBACK," after Stardate 50126.4, Tuvok states that his first deep space assignment aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior , on Stardate 9521, was approximately 80 years ago, when he was 29 years old. In the episode "UNIMATRIX ZERO" PART II , it is stated that Tuvok was born on Vulcanis Lunar Colony on Stardate 38774. This last reference is clearly an error, since Stardate 38774 in The Next Generation system would be just three years before "The Neutral Zone" (41986.0), which gave the year as 2364 -- meaning Tuvok would be just 10 years old in Voyager 's first episode on Stardate 48315.6. It is likely that the decimal was left out of Tuvok's given birth date, and he was really born on Stardate 3877.4 (October 14, 2266, based on the above calculations ) in The Original Series Stardate system. This would place his birth just after The Original Series episode "JOURNEY TO BABEL" , which had a Stardate of 3842.3. Given a birth date of October 14, 2266, Tuvok would be about 106 years old on Stardate 50126.4 in "FLASHBACK," which would be on February 5, 2373, according to the above Stardate Calculator . As stated in "FLASHBACK," Tuvok was 29 years old on Stardate 9521, meaning that STAR TREK VI: The Undiscovered Country must have taken place within the year following October 14, 2295. However, in the episode "FURY," Captain Janeway celebrates Tuvok's birthday, stating it is not long before he reaches "the big three digits." The episode had no Stardate, but the episode before it took place on Stardate 53918, which would place it in the middle of 2377 (based on the above calculations ). If the statement "the big three digits" is taken to mean "100 Earth years," then this would mean that Tuvok would be born after 2277, making him 11 years younger than assumed above. But if "the big three digits" is taken to mean "111 Earth years" (three identical digits), that would be consistent with the above assumptions, since Tuvok would be born on October 14, 2266 (TOS Stardate 3877.4), making him 111 years old on October 14, 2377. This could mean that "FURY," (which had no Stardate) might be shown out of order, and actually took place on Tuvok's 110th birthday, October 14, 2376. (Of course, it is unclear whether Janeway's statement even refers to Earth years rather than Vulcan years, so the statement may not be inconsistent after all, since the duration of a Vulcan year has not been established.) In the Enterprise episode "AWAKENING," Minister Kuvak of the Vulcan High Command states that Earth and Vulcan have been allies for 100 years. The episode takes place in the middle of the year 2154, and apparently refers to first contact between Earth and Vulcans on April 5, 2063, a span of more than 91 Earth years. Since Vulcans are known to quote numbers with great precision, and the statement about 100 years was made between two Vulcans on the planet Vulcan with no humans present, it would be reasonable to assume they were describing the time span in Vulcan years. If so, then 100 Vulcan years is about 91 Earth years, so one Vulcan year would be about 0.91 Earth year. Therefore, Tuvok's age of 111 Earth years would be equivalent to about 121 Vulcan years, making Janeway's statement in "FURY" about him soon reaching "the big three digits" inaccurate in both Earth and Vulcan years.

5.1.1 Lost in the Delta Quadrant

5.1.2 Starting points

While Voyager's journey through the Delta Quadrant was considerably better documented than for instance the subdivision of the Galaxy or the structure of the Federation at the beginning, and was more simple and logical than many other parts of the Star Trek Cartography, in the meantime this journey have rather complicated due to numerous continuity problems, contradictions, but also new basis information. The latter fact has lead to the problem that concerning Voyager's journey, one cannot simply use 1000 ly/year regularly travel distance per year plus the leaps made in the course of the seven year journey any longer. How Rick Sternbach, the "keeper" of the official route of Voyager (that we unfortunately will not know exactly until the ST:VOY TM is published) recently remarked correctly, the distance of Sol to the Galactic core, the initial distance of Voyager from Earth and her bearing are decisive for a depiction of Voyager's journey. A further cornerstone of the Voyager cartography is also Voyager's average speed which has been officially fixed recently. However, the problem arises that all these "fixed values" aren't that fixed in the end. This even applies to the distance of Earth from the center of the Galaxy. Yet, I tried to use the most recent and least contradictious values.

5.1.3 Overview of the journey

5.1.4 Calculation of the momentary distance

While the above table of course only shows Voyager's distance to Earth for selected key events, it is also possible to determine a precise distance at any time by not deducting the yearly covered distance abruptly at the end of each year, but distributing it equally over the whole year. We then get the momentary distance by deducting the already travelled percentage of the yearly covered distance from  the appropriate table distance before the given stardate

For the calculation of Voyager's distance to Earth at a particular time (and therefore the distance of the regions of space crossed and the planets visited at this time etc.), you can use the following step-by-step instructions.

1. Look up the stardate of the episode, e.g. in the ST:VOY Guide .

Example: For [VOY] Message in a Bottle Stardate 51461.5

2. Choose a reference distance to Earth from the above table by comparing the stardate with the table stardates. Important: You have to ignore all yearly covered distances (Stardate xx0000-xx999)!

Example: Stardate 51461.5 is bigger than 51268 in 6., but smaller than 51978 in 8.; the  reference distance to Earth is therefore 62134 ly.

3. Beside the now following normal deduction of the percentage of the yearly covered distance (1), 2 special cases have to be considered: (2) in the first year (stardate 48317-48999), Voyager only travelled 300 ly, therefore the yearly distance being accordingly smaller, and (3) between stardate 51008 and 52619, a Borg correction factor has to bee added to the distance, because during this period of time, Voyager's journey became 2 years longer because of avoiding Borg space.

Example: Stardate 51461.5 is between 51008 and 52619, thus variant (2) has to be used. Enter the stardate and reference distance 62134 ly at (2) and click on the button to calculate the momentary distance of Voyager from Earth at this time.  

With the locations of Voyager's journey and a possibility to calculate her exact positions, we also know the positions of all planets visited by Voyager and the territories crossed by the ship. Consequently, the "official" Delta Quadrant is paradoxically much better known than the Alpha or Beta quadrants. Therefore, the following passages deal with the significant locations of the journey of the USS Voyager. Finally, at the end of the chapter a short prospect for the further course of the still continuing journey will be given.

5.1.5 The first year

Since the USS Voyager was taken to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker not before stardate 48317 (that is in April 2371), the first "year" of Voyager's journey covers only 683 stardate units or 249 days. Consequently, at an average speed of warp 6.2 (438c), Voyager can only travel 300 ly out of the usual 438 ly in 2371. With such a short annual distance, the galactic surroundings has to remain the same to a large extent during this first year - and indeed, Voyager stays the entire year in the sphere of influence of the Kazon-Ogla, Vidiians and Talaxians, who they contacted already in the first weeks in the Delta Quadrant.

5.1.6 The second year

During the second year of her journey, Voyager seems to get on as slowly as in the first year, still passing colonies of the Talaxians, Vidiians and Kazons (mainly Ogla and Nistrim, but also other sects). The reason for this congruence are the diverse delays and course deviations due to the fights with the Kazons, which make a lower speed than the average warp 6.2 and therefore a annual distance of less than 438 ly plausible. However, there were further events in this year that delayed the voyage home, what is proven by the following example  

Involuntary "shore leave"

Only after six weeks, during which Voyager kept on flying with normal speed and, according to Tuvok, covered 70 ly in this time, what corresponds to an average speed of warp 6.8 , Voyager has the opportunity to get a cure from the Vidiians. Although Tuvok set a speed of warp 6 after they escaped the Vidiian trap, it is unlikely that Voyager stayed at that speed for the whole time of the flight back to the planet, because then they would have needed a longer time than for the outward flight. Therefore, we can assume that it took Voyager between 3 weeks (at warp 8) and 5 weeks (at warp 7) to travel back to "New Earth". Using the first, more optimistic figure, the crew therefore loses 80 d all in all, what corresponds to a annual distance shortened by 95.998 ly at an average speed of warp 6.2. At the end of the episode, Captain Janeway resumed the course home at warp 8 in order to make up the lost time, but is this possible at all? Day 24 of the involuntary "shore leave" (probably counted without the 17d stasis) corresponds to stardate 49690.1 according to the episode, what places the resumption of the voyage home on stardate 49892.7 . In the remaining 107.3 stardate units or 39.1645d, Voyager could have indeed make up the lost distance of 95.998 ly with an average speed of nearly warp 8 ( warp 7.684 ) , and with an average speed of somewhat more than warp 8 ( Warp 8.66 ), she could additionally travelled the rest of the annual distance of 46.9974 ly that has still to be managed in the remaining time.

During her journey without captain and first officer, the crew has contact to the Vidiians for the last time, therefore Voyager definitely leaves the sphere of influence of this species. Provided that Voyager made first contact with the Vidiians on stardate 48532.4, their territory seems to cover at least 535 ly , although a large extension "above" Voyager's position at the time of first contact is not impossible.

5.1.7 The third year

Despite no large leaps and the usual annual distance of 438 ly, the third year is a year of changes for Voyager's journey. After two years, she finally leaves the known space populated by the Kazons and Vidiians and ventures to new, unknown regions of the Delta Quadrant.

Leaving Kazon space

Already just at the beginning of the year, on stardate 50032.7, the crew of Voyager has the last contact with the Kazon, what seems to imply that they finally leave their "territory" (better called the space dominated by the - nomadic - Kazon sects). It is unknown how far Kazon space extends "above" the Ocampa homeworld, where first contact were made by the crew of Voyager on stardate 48317. However, this planets seems to be located in the border zone rather than in the center of their space, which is dominated by more powerful sects than the Kazon-Ogla, for instance the Kazon-Nistrim. Regarding the space crossed by Voyager within the last 2 years (since the arrival in the Delta Quadrant on stardate 48317), this leads to a diameter of about 750 ly , what can be considerably less (using a lower  annual average speed of Voyager in the first year) or more (based on the assumption that Kazon space extends over several hundred light years above the Ocampa homeworld. A diameter of this magnitude seems to be plausible in view of the fact that the Kazon, being nomadic living traders and conquerors, must naturally populate a larger region of space, what necessarily means that every single planet within this territory must be in their hands, but that the region can have larger "gaps". At any rate, these extensions of the influence spheres of the Vidiians and Kazons support the low annual average speed of 6.2, since based on the maximum cruising speed of Voyager (warp 8 = 1000c), the territories of this rather insignificant species would cover 1500-2000 ly.  

The Barzan Wormhole

The territory of the Swarm

The Nekrit Expanse

The Nekrit Expanse is described as an extensive, not surveyed, instable region of space which is full of interstellar dust clouds and plasma storms, but contains only few planets. The expanse has a width of several thousand light years , but seems to be not very deep since Voyager can cross the region in relatively short time. She enters the Nekrit Expanse in "Fair Trade" and apparently already leaves it sometime between "Unity" and "The Darkling", because in the first episode, the expanse is explicitly mentioned (and shown), while in the latter one, with the arrival at the Mikhal outpost Voyager enters a completely new, unknown region of space, and the expanse does not play any part in the following episodes. Consequently, Voyager was definitely inside the Nekrit Expanse between stardate 50443 and 50654 - what results in a total time of 211 stardate units or 77d . If Voyager travelled only at an average speed of warp 6.2 during this two and a half months, then the expanse has a depth of 92.398 ly . However, it is more likely that Voyager travelled at a considerably faster speed during that time. In "Fair Trade", it was mentioned that there are only few planets within the expanse and Voyager loads all necessary supplies for the journey in this episode so that regular stops aren't necessary in the end. This assumption is confirmed by the small number of missions while they travelled through the expanse (visit of four planets). Therefore using the maximum cruising speed of Voyager - warp 8, we get a depth of 216.017 ly for the Nekrit Expanse, a figure, that is considerably more plausible in view of the large width and the ignorance of the people in the regions explored by the USS Voyager about the space behind the expanse. Based on a constant cruising speed of warp 8 and the stardates of the single episodes we can now calculate the distances of the visited planets and crossed regions within the Nekrit Expanse from the border of the expanse:

5.1.8 The forth year

The Mutara class nebula

Note : Because of the incorrect stardate calculation (2.7 days / unit instead of the correct 2.7 units / day) this episode overlaps with the next one, [VOY] Hope and Fear.

5.11 Conclusions

Summarizing, most episodes seem to confirm the calculated route of Voyager. However, there are countless possible variants that would roughly match with the distances given in the episodes. Surely the ST:VOY Technical Manual - should it ever be published - will show a completely other picture of the journey, but until then, the depicted table is as exact and "canon" as possible in view of the many variables that have to be taken into consideration and the many discrepancies and errors in the show itself. Concluding, the following table lists some of the congruences as well as the discrepancies of the calculated route and the actual distances mentioned in the series.

In the end, the last leap on stardate 53329 and the distance Voyager has bridge since then results in a distance of 30067 ly to Earth in the middle of season 7 (by stardate 54500), if the already covered part of the annual distance (219 of 438 ly) is included in the calculations. Consequently, at this time Voyager is only 1944 ly away from the border of the Delta Quadrant, using the revised distance of Earth from the Galactic core (25,800 ly). Hence, she will probably never reach the Beta Quadrant, which is inexplicably a taboo in Star Trek: Voyager, but will surely directly travel back to Earth (by slipstream, transwarp or whatever propulsion technology or powerful being) by the end of season 7, if the "policy of small leaps" of the recent episodes is kept up.

star trek voyager sternzeit

Die Sternzeit ist eine Dezimalzahl, die einen bestimmten Zeitpunkt bezeichnet. Es ist ein Zeitmaß innerhalb der Föderation .

Die genauen Anfänge der Sternzeitrechnung sind nicht bekannt. Im 22. Jahrhundert ist ein Sternzeit-System schon entwickelt ( ENT : Beschädigungen ), allerdings werden für Logbucheinträge der Enterprise (NX-01) noch irdische Datumsangaben verwendet. ( ENT : Aufbruch ins Unbekannte, Teil I ) Balthazar M. Edison nutzt die Sternzeit allerdings bereits für die Logbucheinträge als er Captain der USS Franklin ist, die 2164 als vermisst gemeldet wird. ( Star Trek Beyond )

star trek voyager sternzeit

Auch im 23. Jahrhundert wird teilweise noch die irdische Zeitrechnung verwendet ( TOS : Der Käfig ), allerdings setzen sich die Sternzeiten immer mehr durch. Selbst Geburts- und Todesdaten werden in Sternzeiten anstelle irdischer Datumsangaben angegeben. ( TOS : Die Spitze des Eisberges , Kodos, der Henker ) Die Sternzeiten des 23. Jahrhundert sind größtenteils vierstellige Dezimalzahlen mit einer optionalen Nachkommastelle. ( TOS : Die Spitze des Eisberges , Gefährlicher Tausch , Star Trek: Der Film , Star Trek: Treffen der Generationen , VOY : Tuvoks Flashback ) Die visuelle Aufzeichnung von Spocks Tod zeigt eine vierstellige Dezimalzahl mit zwei Kommastellen und zwei weiteren durch ein weiteres Komma abgetrennten Zahlen, welche Sekunden zu sein scheinen. ( Star Trek III: Auf der Suche nach Mr. Spock )

Im 24. Jahrhundert wird auf irdische Datumsangaben weitgehend verzichtet. Sämtliche Logbucheinträge, Dienstakten , Widmungsplatten werden mit Sternzeiten versehen. Diese Sternzeiten sind fünfstellige Dezimalzahlen mit bis zu 4 Nachkommastellen und umfassen einen Bereich zwischen mindestens 22519,5 und 56947. ( TNG : Der Mächtige , Der Ehrenkodex , Augen in der Dunkelheit , DS9 : Der Abgesandte, Teil I , VOY : Der Fürsorger, Teil I , Temporale Sprünge , Zeitschiff "Relativity" , Star Trek: Nemesis )

Das Sternzeitformat variiert über die Episoden und Filme. In den Episoden TNG : Datas Tag , Gestern, Heute, Morgen, Teil I wurden die Sternzeiten ohne Kommastelle angegeben: Sternzeit 44390 bzw. Sternzeit 47988. In den allermeisten Episoden wurden die Sternzeiten mit einer Kommastelle angeben. siehe Referenzen. In der Episode TNG : Der Ehrenkodex wurden die Sternzeiten mit zwei Nachkommastellen angegeben: Sternzeit 41235,25 bzw. 41235,32. Schließlich sah man auf einem Display in TNG : Das Kind eine Sternzeitangabe mit vier Nachkommastellen: Sternzeit 42073,1435. In der Episode VOY : Zeitschiff "Relativity" wurden sogar in einem Dialog Sternzeitangaben unterschiedlicher Genauigkeit angegeben: Seven of Nine reiste von Sternzeit 52861,274 nach Sternzeit 49123,5621 in die Vergangenheit.

Zuordnung irdische Zeit und Sternzeit [ Bearbeiten ]

Zuordnung irdische uhrzeit und sternzeit [ bearbeiten ], hintergrundinformationen [ bearbeiten ].

  • Die Zahlenwerte der Sternzeiten aus Raumschiff Enterprise und Star Trek: Discovery sind willkürlich gewählt.
  • 41000 bis 41999 = Staffel 1
  • 42000 bis 42999 = Staffel 2
  • 43000 bis 43999 = Staffel 3
  • 44000 bis 44999 = Staffel 4
  • 45000 bis 45999 = Staffel 5
  • 46000 bis 46999 = Staffel 6
  • 47000 bis 47999 = Staffel 7
  • 46000 bis 46999 = DS9 Staffel 1 (parallel zu TNG Staffel 6)
  • 47000 bis 47999 = DS9 Staffel 2 (parallel zu TNG Staffel 7)
  • 48000 bis 48999 = DS9 Staffel 3 und VOY Staffel 1 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 8)
  • 49000 bis 49999 = DS9 Staffel 4 und VOY Staffel 2 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 9)
  • 50000 bis 50999 = DS9 Staffel 5 und VOY Staffel 3 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 10)
  • 51000 bis 51999 = DS9 Staffel 6 und VOY Staffel 4 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 11)
  • 52000 bis 52999 = DS9 Staffel 7 und VOY Staffel 5 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 12)
  • 53000 bis 53999 = VOY Staffel 6 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 13)
  • 54000 bis 54999 = VOY Staffel 7 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 14)
  • 865000 bis 865999 = DSC Staffel 3 (=fiktive TNG Staffel 824)
  • Für Star Trek bis Star Trek Beyond wurde das Konzept der Sternzeit völlig überarbeitet. Sie setzt sich nun aus der Jahreszahl und mit Komma abgetrennt dem aktuellen Tag des jeweiligen Jahres zusammen. [19] Sternzeit 2258,42 entspricht beispielsweise dem 42. Tag des Jahres 2258.
  • In der nicht realisierten Serie Star Trek: Phase II sollte die Sternzeit aus einer beliebigen vierstelligen Zahl plus einer Dezimalstelle bestehen. Die Sternzeiten der einzelnen Episoden sollten nicht voneinander abhängig sein. Die Sternzeit der Serie sollte eine mathematische Formel sein, die von der Position in der Galaxis, der Reisegeschwindigkeit und anderen Faktoren abhängig ist. [20]

Beziehung zur irdischen Zeitrechnung [ Bearbeiten ]

In TOS : Notlandung auf Galileo 7 und TOS : Miri, ein Kleinling wird angedeutet, dass eine TOS-Sternzeiteinheit etwa einem Tag entspricht.

Da durch diverse Referenzen die Zuordnung einer Staffel zu einer oder mehreren Jahreszahlen bekannt sind, kann man aus den Tausenderstellen der Sternzeitangaben aus TNG, DS9 und VOY die dazugehörige Jahreszahl ableiten.

  • TNG: Sternzeit 41153,7 (2364) bis 47988 (2370)
  • DS9: Sternzeit 46379,1 (2369) bis 52861,3 (2375)
  • VOY: Sternzeit 48315,6 (2371) bis 54973,4 (2377)
  • Filme 7 bis 10: 48646,3 (ST VII, 2371); 50893,5 (ST VIII, 2373); 56844,9 (ST X, 2379)

Geht man daraus folgend von der Annahme aus, dass die ersten beiden Ziffern der Sternzeit direkt die Jahreszahl markieren und ein Jahr somit 1000 Sternzeiteinheiten entspricht, ergeben sich ein Tag zu 2,7397 Sternzeiteinheiten, eine Stunde zu 0,1142 Sternzeiteinheiten und eine Minute zu 0,0019 Sternzeiteinheiten. Der Anfangspunkt (Sternzeit 00000,0000) dieses linearen Systems würde dann dem 01.01.2323 um 00:00:00 Uhr entsprechen.

In der remasterten Fassung der Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert -Episode Die neutrale Zone wurden die Sternzeitangaben bei den Geburtsdaten der Nachfahren von Clare Raymond durch Angaben nach dem gregorianischen Kalender ersetzt. Diese stimmen nicht mit den oben genannten Zuordnungen der Tausenderstellen zu Jahren überein.

Aus den geänderten Angaben können keine Zuordnungen eines Datums zu einer Sternzeit abgeleitet werden.

In der Star Trek: Raumschiff Voyager -Episode Ein Jahr Hölle, Teil I und Ein Jahr Hölle, Teil II wird Tag 65 des Jahres der Hölle mit Sternzeit 51268 verbunden und auf den 20. Mai 2374 datiert. Davon ausgehend lassen sich weiteren Sternzeiten dieser Episoden Datumsangaben zuordnen.

Inkonsistenzen [ Bearbeiten ]

Genau wie bei den Warpfaktoren , gibt es auch bei den Sternzeiten einzelne Inkonsistenzen zwischen Produktionsinfo/Theorie und dem Canon :

Abfolgefehler [ Bearbeiten ]

Fehlerhafte Reihenfolge der Sternzeiten:

  • Die Sternzeit der Episode TAS : Das Geheimnis von Megas-Tu (1254,4) liegt vor Kirks Geburt (1277,1), angegeben in TOS : Die Spitze des Eisberges .
  • Die Sternzeiten der Episoden TOS : Das Letzte seiner Art (1513,1 bis 1513,8) und Pokerspiele (1512,2 bis 1514,1) überschneiden sich.
  • Die Sternzeiten der Episoden TOS : Miri, ein Kleinling (2713,4 bis 2717,3) und Der Zentralnervensystemmanipulator (2715,1 bis 2715,2) überschneiden sich.
  • Die Sternzeiten der Episoden TOS : Kodos, der Henker (2817,6 bis 2825,3) und Notlandung auf Galileo 7 (2821,5 bis 2823,1) überschneiden sich.
  • Die Sternzeiten der Episoden TOS : Meister der Sklaven (3211,7 bis 3259,2) und Metamorphose (3219,8 bis 3220,3) überschneiden sich.
  • Die Sternzeiten der Episoden TAS : Die Entführung (5499,9 bis 5506,2) und Auf der Suche nach Überlebenden (5501,2) überschneiden sich.
  • Die Sternzeit der Episode DSC : Leuchtfeuer (1207,3) soll dem 11. Mai 2256 entsprechen, liegt jedoch vor Sternzeit 1277,1, die dem 22. März 2233 entspricht. ( TOS : Die Spitze des Eisberges , ENT : Die dunkle Seite des Spiegels, Teil II ) Außerdem ist der 11. Mai 2256 kein Sonntag , wie behauptet, sondern ein Donnerstag .
  • Die Sternzeiten der Star Trek: Discovery -Episoden Auftakt zur Vergangenheit (1834,2) und Der Charonspfennig (1834,2512) sind höher als die der Raumschiff Enterprise -Pilotepisode Die Spitze des Eisberges (1312,4), obwohl Star Trek: Discovery zehn Jahre vor Raumschiff Enterprise spielt.
  • Tasha Yar wird laut TNG : Die schwarze Seele zu Sternzeit 41601,3 getötet. Sie ist jedoch in der Episode TNG : Die Waffenhändler am Leben und diese Episode spielt zu Sternzeit 41798,2.
  • In der Originalfassung TNG : Die neutrale Zone steht auf einem Display, dass Thomas Raymond zu Sternzeit 38024,1 und seine Kinder bei Sternzeit 40335,3 bzw. 41103,8 geboren wurden. Dies würde bedeuten, dass er mit zwei bzw. drei Jahren Vater geworden wäre. Bei der remasterten Fassung wurden die Sternzeiten durch Jahre nach dem gregorianischen Kalender ersetzt, die diesen Fehler nicht aufweisen.
  • In der Folge TNG : Das Kind sieht Dr. Katherine Pulaski einen Bericht über den Ausbruch einer Plasmaseuche auf Oby VI vor siebzig Jahren ein. Dieser Bericht ist auf Sternzeit 38235,3 datiert. Laut Sternzeitangabe wäre dies also erst vor vier Jahren geschehen. Es ist allerdings nicht ganz klar, ob sich die Sternzeit nur auf den Bericht bezieht, der möglicherweise tatsächlich erst vor vier Jahren erstellt wurde oder auf das Seuchenereignis selbst.
  • In der TNG-Episode Die Zukunft schweigt wird das Logbuch eines Shuttles ausgewertet. Die Einblendung auf dem Monitor zeigt Sternzeit 42592,72 an, was vier Stunden in der Zukunft liegen soll. Ein vorher gemachter Logbucheintrag Captain Picards datiert jedoch von Sternzeit 42679,2, also deutlich nach diesem Ereignis.
  • In der Episode TNG : Aquiel wird das Geburtsdatum von Keith Rocha mit Sternzeit 6701,3 und der Zeitraum seiner Ausbildung von Sternzeit 6723,34 bis 6802,3 angegeben. Dies würde diese Ereignisse etwa in die zweite Staffel von Star Trek: Die Abenteuer des Raumschiff Enterprise platzieren, die 99 Jahre vor Aquiel spielt.
  • In der DS9-Episode Im Lichte des Infernos erwähnt Captain Sisko die Borg-Invasion aus Star Trek: Der erste Kontakt . Diese Episode spielt zu Sternzeit 50564,2, während der Film zu Sternzeit 50893,5 spielt, also laut Sternzeitangabe einige Monate in der Zukunft.
  • In VOY : Der Verräter wird der Handlungsstrang aufgelöst, warum Tom Paris in den vergangenen Episoden unzufrieden wirkte. In dieser Episode stirbt Michael Jonas . In VOY : Lebensanzeichen , welche laut Sternzeit danach spielt lebt Michael Jonas noch und Seska gibt ihm Anweisungen zur Sabotage der Voyager, welche er bereits ausgeführt hat.
  • In VOY : Im Rückblick macht Captain Janeway während der Verfolgung von Kovin einen Logbucheintrag bei Sternzeit 51679,4. Nach Kovins Tod wird der Doktor später drei Tage verhört und macht dann eine Logbucheintragung bei Sternzeit 51658,2, was jedoch vor dem Tod von Kovin liegt.

Umrechnungsfehler [ Bearbeiten ]

Daten/Jahreszeiten stimmen nicht mit Sternzeiten überein:

  • Die Episode TNG : Familienbegegnung spielt zu Sternzeit 44012,3, was dem Anfang des Jahres 2367, also Winter auf der Nordhalbkugel der Erde, entspricht. In dieser Episode ist auf der Nordhalbkugel der Erde, in Frankreich , aber Sommer.
  • In DS9 : Rätselhafte Fenna wird der Jahrestag der Schlacht von Wolf 359 auf Sternzeit 47329,4 datiert. Die Schlacht fand laut TNG : Angriffsziel Erde zu Sternzeit 44002,3 statt, was laut diesem Sternzeitsystem nicht am selben Datum des entsprechenden Jahres liegen kann.
  • In der Episode VOY : Eine Heimstätte wird der 315. Jahrestag des Erstkontakts zwischen Menschen und Vulkaniern gefeiert, der im April 2063 stattfand, somit muss diese Episode im Jahre 2378 spielen. Die Sternzeitangabe dieser Episode lautet Sternzeit 54868,6, was eigentlich Ende des Jahres 2377 entspricht.
  • Dasselbe trifft auch auf die Star Trek: Raumschiff Voyager -Epsioden Renaissancemensch , Endspiel, Teil I und Endspiel, Teil II zu. Diese spielen zwar im Jahr 2378, die Sternzeitangaben 54890,7 und 54973,4 gehören jedoch eigentlich zum Jahr 2377.

Proportionalitätsfehler [ Bearbeiten ]

Zeitabläufe stimmen nicht mit Sternzeitdifferenzen überein:

  • In TOS : Kodos, der Henker gibt der Computer Captain Kirk die Auskunft, dass Kodos zu Sternzeit 2794,7 irgendetwas getan hat (Was wird nicht gesagt, da Kirk die Computeransage unterbricht). Diese Sternzeit muss also vor dem vermeintlichen Tod von Kodos liegen. Die Episode selbst spielt zu Sternzeit 2817,6. Da Kodos angeblich seit 20 Jahren tot ist, müsste die Sternzeit also viel niedriger sein. Außerdem finden die Ereignisse auf Tarsus IV lange vor dem Beginn der 5-Jahres-Mission der USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) statt. Da diese bei Sternzeit 1312,4 ( TOS : Die Spitze des Eisberges ) beginnt, ergibt sich hier ein weiterer gravierender Widerspruch.
  • In der Episode TOS : Notlandung auf Galileo 7 werden gleich mehrere Sternzeitangaben mit Zeitabständen verknüpft. Ferris setzt Sternzeit 2823,8 als den Punkt fest, an dem die USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) ihre Suche abbrechen muss. Bei Sternzeit 2821,7 sind noch 2 Tage, bei 2822,3 noch 24 Stunden und bei 2823,1 noch 2 Stunden 43 Minuten Zeit. Berechnet man auf dieser Grundlage, wie viele Stunden einer Sternzeiteinheit entsprechen ergeben sich verschiedene Werte zwischen nur 3,92 Stunden und bis zu 40 Stunden. Angedacht ist aber scheinbar, dass eine Sternzeiteinheit einem Tag entspricht.
  • Laut TNG : Die Zukunft schweigt soll Sternzeit 42679,5 sechs Stunden nach Sternzeit 42679,2 liegen. Wenn die Sternzeiten gleichmäßig verlaufen, entsprechen 0,3 Sternzeiteinheiten jedoch nur 2,63 Stunden.
  • Eine Sternzeiteinheit soll scheinbar einem Tag entsprechen ( TOS : Miri, ein Kleinling , Notlandung auf Galileo 7 ; TNG : Die Iconia-Sonden ). Gleichzeitig entsprechen 1000 Sternzeiteinheiten einem Jahr ( TNG : Die neutrale Zone ; VOY : Das Nadelöhr ). Dies führt zu dem Widerspruch, dass ein Jahr tausend Tage haben müsste, aber der gregorianische Kalender mit einem Jahr zu 365 Tagen weiter in Gebrauch ist.
  • Die Logbucheinträge der USS Stargazer datieren die Schlacht von Maxia auf Sternzeit 40218,3. Allerdings soll diese neun Jahre vor der Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert -Episode Die Schlacht von Maxia spielen, deren Sternzeit 41723,9 ist.
  • In der Episode Ort der Finsternis wird die Hochzeit von Lwaxana und Ian Andrew Troi auf Sternzeit 30620,1 datiert. Dies soll knapp 8 Jahre vor Deanna Trois Geburt liegen. Diese wird am 29. März 2336 geboren ( TNG : Mission ohne Gedächtnis ). Somit würde die Hochzeit ins Jahr 2328 fallen. Die Sternzeit würde die Hochzeit jedoch in das Jahr 2353 verlegen.
  • Die Episode DS9 : Entscheidungen spielt laut Logbuch von Captain Sisko aus der vorhergehenden Episode DS9 : Zeit des Widerstands mehr als 3 Monate nach der Episode DS9 : Zu den Waffen! . Aus den Sternzeitangaben 50975,2 und 51096,2 lässt sich aber nur eine Zeitdifferenz von 121 Sternzeiteinheiten ermitteln, was nur rund 44 Tagen (1 1/2 Monate) entspricht.
  • Vergleicht man die Differenzen der Sternzeiteinheiten mit den vergangenen Tagen in den Episode VOY : Ein Jahr Hölle, Teil I und VOY : Ein Jahr Hölle, Teil II ergeben sich für einen Tag unterschiedliche Längen. Ein Tag entspräche 0,25; 1,3; 2,3 oder 2,8 Sternzeiteinheiten.
  • Der Geburtstag von Tuvok wird in VOY : Unimatrix Zero, Teil II auf Sternzeit 38774 festgelegt. Da diese Episode zu Sternzeit 54014,4 spielt, müsste Tuvok zum Zeitpunkt dieser Episode also gerade mal 15 Jahre alt sein. Da aber Tuvok während seiner Dienstzeit auf der Voyager einen dreistelligen Geburtstag erreicht (Captain Janeway gratuliert ihm unter vier Ohren) fällt sein Geburtstag ins 23. Jahrhundert, in dem ein anderes (eigentlich vierstelliges) Sternzeitsystem existiert. Möglicherweise sollte das Geburtsdatum 3877,4 heißen.

Original von Pascal Tillmans : Sternzeit Es gibt viele verschiedene Meinungen, was die Sternzeit eigentlich ist. Im Grunde ist die Sternzeit keine Zeit, sondern ein Datum. Im englischen Original heißt die Sernzeit nämlich "Stardate", also "Sternendatum". Der wissenschaftliche Gedanke: (auch hier gehen die Meinungen auseinander) Einsteins Relativitätstheorie zufolge vergeht die Zeit für eine Person, die mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit reist, langsamer. Und da man in Star Trek fast den ganzen Tag mit Überlichtgeschwindigkeit durch die Gegend fliegt, brauchen die Menschen eine neue Zeitrechnung. Die neue Art, das Datum festzustellen, orientiert sich an der Position der Sterne (dafür "Sternzeit"). Da man in den Serien oft hört, wie sich Personen um "8 Uhr" verabreden, kann man davon ausgehen, dass die Uhrzeit noch in Stunden und Minuten grechnet wird. Die Wahrheit über die Sternzeit: Man kann Sie nicht berechnen! Die Sternzeit ist eine rein fiktive Zeitangabe. Sie wurde von Gene Roddenberry erdacht und war in der "Raumschiff Enterprise"-Serie vierstellig. Gene Roddenberry wollte damit nur deutlich zeigen, dass die Serie in der Zukunft spielt. Mit Beginn der "Next Generation" entschied man, die Sternzeit fünfstellig zu machen. Die erste Ziffer war eine 4 und sollte für das 24. Jahrhundert stehen. Da in "Deep Space Nine" und "Voyager" allerdings eine Sternzeit erreicht wurde, die mit 5 beginnt, ist die Interpretation als "Jahrhundertzahl" allerdings irreführend. Die zweite Ziffer benannte das Produktionsjahr der Serie. Da man bei "The Next Generation" gerade mit der Produktion begonnen hatte nahm hierfür die Zahl Eins. Bei Deep Space Nine begann man mit 46379.1, da die erste Staffel in die sechste von TNG fiel, die Sternzeit von Voyager startet bei 48315.6 weil sie in die achte Staffel von TNG gefallen wäre. Die nächsten drei Ziffern repräsentieren eine Zeit während einer Staffel und wachsen im Laufe des Jahres. 000 steht also für den Beginn einer Staffel und 999 für das Ende. Nach diesem System, wo die letzten drei Zahlen beinahe willkürlich ausgewählt werden, ist eine Berechnung des Datums eigentlich nicht möglich. Die Zahl hinter dem Komma gibt die Tageszeit eines 24-stündigen Tages an, also jeweils 2,4 Stunden pro Zeiteinheit. Da aber in einem Jahr die Sternzeit immer um 1000 erhöht wird, haben einige Fans Programme geschrieben, die das Jahr in 1000 Einheiten unterteilen und dadurch das aktuelle Datum in eine theoretische Sternzeit umwandeln. Logisch ist das System dann zwar immer noch nicht (SD 00000.0 fällt auf den 31.12.2322, was war davor? / SD 99999.9 auf den 30.12.2422, was ist danach?), aber so kann man immerhin besser mit den Zahlen umgehen.

Did you know

  • Trivia This episode is unusual in that it is told from the viewpoint of a guest character rather than one of the Voyager crew (who don't even appear until well into the second act).
  • Goofs It is stated that there are 148 lifeforms on board Voyager (plus the Doctor); however, Janeway states in The 37's (1995) that there are 152 people on board, and 11 members of the crew have died since. Even allowing for the birth of Naomi Wildman, that leaves half a dozen crew members who seem to have come back to life.

crew

A voyage starts after a selection of crew and a ship, resulting in a combined value for each skill and a starting amount of antimatter. As the voyage progresses, activities will occur. A player will see a quick (20s) countdown timer at the bottom of the voyage log per activity and a long (2h) timer at the top of the screen for Dilemmas. A player has no influence on which activities occur, and only with Dilemmas can the player influence the outcome or reward.

Every expiration of the "quick" timer results in a voyage activity of type normal , hazard , or dilemma . These activities can reduce or increase available antimatter and may add a reward which can be claimed when the voyage returns successfully. The voyage will progress through normal and hazard activities, but every two hours the dilemma will halt voyage progress until the player makes a choice. This means the voyage will progress at most 2 hours at a time without player interaction to continue the voyage.

As the voyage progresses, the antimatter will eventually reduce to zero, resulting in a failed voyage. Before the antimatter has expired, the player may recall the voyage, collecting the voyage rewards after a recall time. After the antimatter has expired, the player may continue the voyage by spending a Voyage Revival Token or Dilithium, or the player may abandon the voyage causing the crew to immediately become available with the loss of any gained voyage rewards.

Starting a Voyage

Voyages were moved from the bottom left corner of the Galaxy map to their own screen at the upper-left of the main screen. To start a voyage you have to select a starship and twelve crew members. During the Voyage, the crew can not be used in away missions , shuttle missions , and can't be dismissed or fused. However they can be used in the Gauntlet or for skirmish events .

Crew selection occurs by filling the 12 voyage slots, 2 for each skill, with a crew member that has the named skill. The end result is a sum for each skill composed from all selected crew. A slot may only be filled by a crew member that has the named skill, but any other skills the crew member has also contributes to the total for that skill value.

Command

Because crew with three skills generally have a higher amount when combining the averages of all three skills than crew with two skills or one skill, crew with fewer than three skills should be avoided when attempting to maximize skill totals, thus helping to maximizing voyage duration. Also, crew with three skills are more versatile since they can occupy one of six slots.

Featured skills

Each voyage has two featured skills: one primary marked with a gold star, and one secondary with a silver star. These skills are tested more often: the primary skill will be tested 35% of the time, the secondary skill 25%, and each of the other skills 10%. [2]

Science

It is important to prioritize the featured skills as they will, cumulatively, be tested around 60% of the time. Completely neglecting the other four, however, will cause your voyage to perform poorly, so some balance is required to maximize voyage duration from your active crew.

A voyage starts with a certain amount of Antimatter (AM), which is required to power the starship on the voyage, depending on the ship and crew selected.

Each ship carries a certain maximum amount of Antimatter (AM). The amount of ship AM depends on the ship rarity and level (gaining 50 AM per level), as follows:

Starting Antimatter can also be increased during crew selection. Each of the crew slots along with the ship slot give you the opportunity to match traits . A matched ship traits adds 150 AM, while each matched crew trait adds 25 AM.

There is some balance required between selecting a crew that matches a trait, which would add 25 starting AM, and crew that has higher voyage skill values. A single missed hazard costs more 30 AM, so a trait match crew may save your voyage a single hazard . However, increased voyage skill values result in a better chance to pass the hazard . In addition, each time the voyage is revived, it will restart with the starting AM, so if you plan to revive multiple times, starting AM is worth much more than a chance to pass a hazard in a voyage over 12 hours, where chances to pass hazard are very low.

Crew Traits

Following is a table of crew traits used by voyage slot type over 100+ voyages (Contributed by Greybeard), which has been confirmed by further data collected from the community:

Medicine

During the Voyage

Every expiration of the "quick" timer results in a voyage activity of type normal , hazard , or dilemma .

A new normal activity (consuming 1 AM) will occur every 20s with the expiration and reset of the quick timer. This means there are three activites per minute or 30 in a 10 minute period.

Every 140 seconds, a normal activity will grant a reward (every seventh activity).

Every 80 seconds, a hazard activity occurs instead of a normal activity, resulting in an increase of 5 AM or a loss of 30 AM, unless a reward-granting normal activity is due to take place, in which case it occurs instead.

Every 2 hours a dilemma activity occurs instead of a hazard activity (with the expiration of the long timer). When a dilemma is available, the voyage progress will halt until the player makes a choice.

As the voyage progresses, the antimatter will eventually reduce to zero, resulting in a failed voyage. Before the antimatter has expired, the player may recall the voyage, collecting the voyage rewards after a recall time. After the antimatter has expired, the player may continue the voyage by spending a Voyage Revival Token or dilithium , or the player may abandon the voyage causing the crew to immediately become available with the loss of any gained voyage rewards.

Normal activity

Normal activities range from poetry competitions to exploring alien planets. Each of these activities deducts 1 AM. Every 7th normal activity (every 140s) will produce a Reward.

Rewards occur during normal activities, and in the process your crew will unearth resources ( credits , honor , chronitons , components , crew experience training , replicator rations , items or crew ) which your crew takes back to the ship. Activities which give rewards also deduct 1 AM.

Hazards test one skill indicated by the hazard marker. If your crew avoids the hazard, you will gain 5 AM. If they fail you will lose 30 AM.

Hazards test your crew's total capability in a skill set, not the individual skill of a single crew member. The total is computed as the sum of a single skill type over all crew for the base plus average proficiency ( base + ((max + min) / 2) ).

Hazards do not give rewards. Hazards are what will burn through your AM reserves very quickly if your crew isn't up to the challenge.

Difficulty of Hazards

The hazards increase in chance of failure with voyage duration, meaning that in the beginning the chance to win all hazards is very high until a certain point when the chance of winning a hazard is 0%. At that point, your crew will fail every hazard and your voyage will quickly lose its reserves of AM.

The hazard failure chance threshold increases steadily and is compared against your crew's total skill value, so the larger the skill values are the longer it will take for a hazard to reach a high chance of failure.

List of Hazards

Voyages/Hazards

If your crew has survived enough hazards lasting two hours, your crew will be presented with a Dilemma - a stop point during your voyage that presents a situation that requires interaction. You, the player, must choose a course of action, all of which award some loot, possibly including Honor (30 to 100), Chronitons (30 to 75), Ship Schematics , Crew or Items .

During a Dilemmas , the voyage is paused. AM is not consumed and the timer does not advance. Until a solution is chosen by the player, the voyage will not continue. This can be used as a fail-safe by players -- for instance during an overnight voyage. However, if your skills are not strong enough, you can deplete your AM before reaching the next Dilemma .

A helpful method to use for determining whether your voyage will meet the next dilemma is to divide your current AM by 21 to get a worst-case estimate of the number of minutes your voyage has left if it fails all hazards. This is the result of the following calculation:

Worst-case voyage AM decay rate (if all hazards fail)

  • One hazard every 80 seconds, skip every sixth (every 480s is a reward instead);
  • 30 AM loss per hazard, +3 AM loss for three ticks at 20s, 40s, and 60s
  • = -33AM/80s
  • = -.4125 AM/s
  • Non-30 AM loss every 480s
  • = 30AM/480s = .0625 AM/s
  • Add 1 loss every 480s
  • = 1/480 = .002083
  • = -.4125 + .0625 + .002083 = -.347916 (*60 s/m) = 20.875 AM/m

So a voyage with 630 AM remaining will continue another 30 minutes if all hazards fail, and longer if any pass. This also means having 2400 AM guarantees another 2h of voyage time, which is long enough to make it to a dilemma.

List of Dilemmas

Rewards over time.

Chroniton

Dilemmas, one every two hours, have a unique reward table. It is possible, for instance, to obtain a batch of 600 schematics , even for otherwise unobtainable ships (such as the NX-01 Enterprise ), making Voyages the only currently available way to obtain elusive ships .

Before the first dilemma

Between the first and the third dilemma.

Note that dilemmas which award one of the voyage-exclusive super rare crew do not award any honor or chronitons.

After the third dilemma

Reward drop percentages.

This table lists approximate drop rates (over 300 voyages from Greybeard) for items by type between dilemmas.

This table lists approximate drop rates (over 300 voyages from Greybeard) for items by type at dilemmas. (Note that the 97% rate for chrons/honor is due to those not rewarded when selecting voyage-exclusive crew from a dilemma sequence.)

Recalling a Voyage

As long as you have AM remaining, you can recall the starship. The voyage home does not consume any AM. The ship will take a certain time to return to you, and you will receive the rewards and be able to use the crew otherwise.

The trip back requires 40% of the Voyage time (e.g. if your trip was four hours long it will take one hour, 36 minutes for the ship to come back). You can speed up the return with dilithium .

After the return you will have a chance to see the complete log of your Voyage.

Running out of Antimatter

A player can run out of antimatter only because of normal activity (one AM per action) or of hazards (30 AM per failure). When reaching 0 AM, the ship is stranded in space: the player has the choice of aborting the mission (sacrificing all the rewards) or refilling the AM by spending a Voyage Revival Token or dilithium .

If any voyage revival tokens are in your inventory, they must all be spent before you are able to spend dilithim to revive the voyage. They can be earned in some events as threshold rewards and are sometimes offered as compensation for bugs and server crashes in the game.

Dilithium

If you choose to abandon the mission, then your crew will be returned to active duty immediately without a waiting period, but you will not receive any of the rewards you've collected.

It is not possible to recall a ship and obtain the rewards without at least 1 AM left.

The WereDragon Strategy

Further tests has shown that the gold skill will occur nearly 36% of the time while silver skill 24% of the time (Sample size: 3,165 skill checks in 10 voyages). The other skills will fall between 7% to 12% (with one occurrence of 15%).

The silver and gold skills will occur 60% of the time. These skills should have your primary focus. If you are intending to do a 6 hour voyage, they should be minimally at 6,000. The higher, the better. 7,000 would be recommended.

Choose a skill to sacrifice. You want that skill as low as possible to boost your other skills. As an example, lets sacrifice engineering. A fully equipped lvl 100 Gangster Spock has the stats of 276 eng, 992 sec, and 671 sci for voyages. You can use Gangster Spock as your engineer to boost up your Security and Science. Engineering skill checks will fail most of the time and eventually all the time as the voyage progress, BUT you are playing the odds. In this example, Engineering will only come up 7% to 12% of the time. That's it. That is a very small percentage. And by sacrificing engineering, you can boost the other skills and those skills will take longer before they start failing skill checks.

A modified strategy (called the NATE mod), is to sacrifice 2 skills but not to the same degree. With a pure WereDragon strategy, it is quite possible to have the skill beneath 1,000. In the NATE mod, the 2 skills will fall between 1,000 and 3,000. Again, the thought is the same. You are playing the odds. You sacrifice 2 skills to boost the other 4 skills.

Player suggestions

  • A player-made tool to calculate an approximate duration of your Voyage using your crew's skills can be found here .
  • Due to the fact that all the skill points of a crew contribute to the ship's total, Voyages have a slight bias in favour of crew members with points in three skills.
  • As the difficulty increases at a certain point you will start failing all hazards. At that point you can roughly calculate how long it will take you to run out of AM based on your current reserve. The pattern of hazards every four activities and rewards every seven means that, once all hazards are being failed, antimatter depletes at an average rate of slightly less than 22 AM per minute. There is no point in recalling the ship when it has hundreds, or thousands, of AM in reserve, but waiting too much might result in accidentally running out. Running a voyage is safe until you have 31 AM or less in reserve - using the pattern can enable you to work out the optimal time to recall (immediately after the last reward you can collect before you reach a hazard that would bring your AM below 1).
  • Voyages offer a great amount of common and uncommon crew, and are one of the fastest and cheaper ways for newer players to obtain all copies of such crew.

Screen Rant

10 times star trek: voyager didn't hit the reset button.

Ongoing Delta Quadrant adventures and long character arcs prove Star Trek: Voyager didn't always hit the reset button after every episode.

  • Voyager's single-episode stories occasionally led to serialized character arcs and plot developments over the seven seasons.
  • Seska's spy storyline intertwined with the Kazon's power struggle against Voyager, creating layered conflict in the series.
  • Seven of Nine's journey towards humanity, and the Doctor's self-discovery, highlighted the growth of holograms as individuals.

There are times when Star Trek: Voyager didn't actually hit the so-called "reset button", as the series was prone to doing at the end of most of its standalone episodes. Over the course of its seven-year journey through the Delta Quadrant, Voyager excelled at delivering stories that generally wrapped up all major plot points within a single, self-contained episode , with the occasional 2-part Star Trek: Voyager episode occurring roughly twice per season. This was a stark contrast to the ongoing drama of the contemporaneous Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , which favored serialized storytelling to a much higher degree than Star Trek had previously.

Despite Voyager 's proclivity for single-episode stories, Star Trek: Voyager doesn't avoid serialization entirely. There's a through line that carries through Voyager 's seven seasons regarding the way characters act and respond to one another and new situations, as the main characters of Star Trek: Voyager learn to adjust to their changing circumstances, with new friends and enemies, and new developments to ongoing problems. Sometimes, plot arcs continue through several episodes, and although they can be watched individually, they make more sense when watched in order.

Star Trek: Voyager’s 20 Best Episodes Ranked

10 the uss voyager vs. seska & the kazon, the kazon and seska are voyager's first challenge in star trek: voyager seasons 1 & 2..

The Kazon are Star Trek: Voyager 's first big bad but aren't half as interesting as classic antagonists like Klingons or Romulans. The different Kazon sects are intended to echo warring gang factions, but the Kazon's internal discord does little to pose an actual threat to the USS Voyager's crew. Meanwhile, one of Voyager 's recurring crew members, Ensign Seska (Martha Hackett), fans the flames of dissent between Voyager's Maquis and Starfleet crews, until Seska reveals herself to be a Cardassian spy who may or may not be carrying Commander Chakotay's (Robert Beltran) baby.

The soapy intrigue of the Seska storyline converges with the Kazon posturing against Voyager for dominance in their own corner of space, as Seska infiltrates the paper-thin Kazon hierarchy in a bid for power in the sector . With the Kazon-Nistrim wrapped around her finger, Seska's coup on the USS Voyager culminates in Star Trek : Voyager's season 3 opener, "Basics, Part 2", and ends there ... at least until Seska's holographic parting gift is activated in Voyager season 3, episode 25, "Worst Case Scenario", nearly a year later.

9 Kes Develops Ocampa Powers

Jennifer lien's kes grows stronger telepathy in star trek: voyager seasons 2 & 3..

The USS Voyager picks up some Delta Quadrant natives to guide the first leg of their journey, the romantic pairing Neelix (Ethan Phillips) and Kes (Jennifer Lien). The Talaxian trader Neelix becomes the USS Voyager's chef and morale officer, while Ocampa Kes fits right in as assistant to the Doctor (Robert Picardo). Kes is kind and ingenuous, but there's little else for Kes to do in Voyager 's first season, so in Voyager season 2, Kes' telepathic powers develop.

Kes' telepathy leads to telekinesis, which grows beyond the Ocampan's control.

Kes' powers grow rapidly, aided by meeting other Ocampa who have mastered their abilities in Voyager season 2, episode 10, "Cold Fire". Aboard the USS Voyager, Kes trains with Lt. Tuvok (Tim Russ) to help Kes control her powers even though Tuvok's Vulcan telepathy operates differently from Ocampa talents. Kes' telepathy leads to telekinesis, which grows beyond the Ocampan's control, so to keep Voyager's crew safe, Kes must leave in Voyager season 4 , episode 2, "The Gift."

8 Tom Paris & B'Elanna Torres' Romance

Tom & b'elanna's relationship evolves in star trek: voyager seasons 3 - 7..

The romance between Lieutenants Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) isn't planned, but instead evolves from the characters' chemistry with each other. Tom and B'Elanna play off of each other well in their earliest scenes together , and develop a friendship that manages to break through the ways that both Paris and Torres use to avoid getting close to people. B'Elanna sees through Tom's casual charm just as easily as Tom sees through B'Elanna's intentional hostility, and it turns out they have a lot in common.

Paris and Torres are one of the best Star Trek romances .

The Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres romance grows over the course of Voyager 's entire run, from their initial meeting to their marriage, and the birth of their daughter, Miral. The relationship softens both Tom and B'Elanna , who learn to accept love from each other, despite difficult relationships with their parents making them feel unworthy of it. Paris and Torres are one of the best Star Trek romances , and a great part of Voyager 's subtle serialization.

7 Captain Janeway vs. The Borg

Voyager survives the scorpion's sting in star trek: voyager seasons 4 - 7..

Unlike other Delta Quadrant species, Captain Janeway knows what she's getting into by engaging the Borg . Rather than avoid the Borg entirely, as Chakotay suggests, Janeway faces the Borg head-on, making a deal exchanging safe passage through Borg space for Voyager's help fighting Species 8472, who can't be assimilated. The Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson, Alice Krige) and her drones become Janeway's true nemesis through repeated encounters, with each one stacking on the last before Admiral Janeway from the future and the Queen face off in a final battle.

Captain Janeway's tension with the Borg is also exemplified in Janeway's relationship with Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). In Janeway and Seven of Nine's best Voyager episodes , Janeway's insistence on Seven's humanity regularly clashes with Seven's own connections to the Collective , in a one-step-forward, two-steps-back progression that nonetheless moves forward, resembling how people escape toxic systems or overcome addiction far more than a strictly linear telling would.

Janeway Was The Borg’s Greatest Enemy, Not Picard

6 letters from home, hope comes in the form of a relay station in star trek: voyager season 4..

The discovery of an abandoned subspace relay station kicks off a story arc that connects the USS Voyager with Federation space in Star Trek: Voyager season 4 . By using the station, Voyager's crew can finally send and receive messages from the Alpha Quadrant , letting their loved ones know they're alive, but stranded. The initial messages are few and far between, sent only when certain conditions make it possible, and these infrequent missives find their way into the crew's hands in a few Voyager season 4 episodes, while setting up the upcoming Hirogen arc as well as Voyager season 6's Pathfinder Project.

Contact with family and friends after four years in the Delta Quadrant reveals a lot about Voyager 's characters. Many, like Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) , are excited at the prospect of an early return, while some, like Paris and Torres, are less enthused about reuniting with estranged family members, or face Federation judgment after crimes committed as members of the Maquis.

The promise of letters from home is the driving force behind Voyager season 4's finale "Hope and Fear", which also calls back to Star Trek: Voyager season 4's opening, "Scorpion, Part 2", with the consequences of defeating Species 8472 finally coming to bear.

5 The USS Voyager vs. the Hirogen

The nomadic hunters appear throughout star trek: voyager season 4 - 7..

The predatory Hirogen come calling as owners of the relay station after discovering that the USS Voyager's crew have been using it to communicate with the Alpha Quadrant. The concept of "the hunt" is central to Hirogen culture, which sorts alien species according to their worthiness as prey. Despite their initial reservations, the Hirogen deem Voyager's crew particularly interesting targets , between Voyager's ability to subdue the villainous Species 8472 even when the Borg have failed to do so, and Federation holographic technology that makes the Hirogen's sacred hunt more exciting than it has been in years.

Each Hirogen episode lays the groundwork for the next one, and the overall Hirogen arc sets up at least two other separate storylines that emerge from the consequences, with Janeway's gift of hologram technology playing into Star Trek: Voyager season 7's hologram rights arc, and the Hirogen relay station kicking off the domino effect of contact with the Alpha Quadrant, the Pathfinder Project, and the USS Voyager's eventual return home.

4 Seven of Nine Becomes More Human

From star trek: voyager season 4 - 7, seven of nine adapts..

Seven of Nine's character arc is perhaps the most important in all of Star Trek: Voyager because Seven's development after being liberated from the Borg Collective practically requires a serialized progression in order to work. Seven of Nine initially resists Janeway's insistence that Seven is human , and an individual, but that resistance plays out like a teenager's; in order to discover her own identity, Seven must first rebel against authority, so she can learn how to define herself for herself.

Seven of Nine finds the balance between individuality and a new collective aboard Voyager.

Seven's humanity is revealed slowly, realistically, with new information that comes to light about Seven's pre-assimilation life as Annika Hansen, Annika's scientist parents, and the Borg Queen's proposal to Seven of Nine to return to the Collective. By rejecting the Queen, Seven of Nine truly chooses herself , in a stark contrast to the desires of the drone who begged for the Collective. With help from friends like the Doctor (Robert Picardo), Seven of Nine finds the balance between individuality and a new collective aboard Voyager.

3 Icheb and the Borg Kids

Juvenile borg drones are liberated in star trek: voyager season 6..

In Star Trek: Voyager season 6, episode 16, "Collective," the USS Voyager encounters young Borg drones operating their own Cube after being cut off from the larger Collective. After rescuing the drones, it would have been easy to simply forget the Borg kids, but this far into the series, the small liberated Collective of children become recurring characters on Voyager . Icheb (Manu Intiraymi) is the eldest, followed by Mezoti (Marley S. McClean), and twins Azan (Kurt Wetherill) and Rebi (Cody Wetherill).

Naomi Wildman (Scarlett Pomers) , the only other child aboard the USS Voyager, is quick to befriend these newfound peers. Already a friend to Naomi, Seven of Nine develops a maternal relationship with the liberated drones, and Icheb in particular . Taking a page from Janeway and the Doctor, Seven instructs the children on how to discover their individuality, and learns how to take care of other people who rely on her for guidance.

Who Is Icheb? Star Trek: Picard’s Surprise Voyager Return Explained

2 the pathfinder project, reginald barclay returns in star trek: voyager seasons 6 & 7..

A few years after the discovery of the subspace relay station that allows Voyager to communicate with the Alpha Quadrant, Voyager catches up with Star Trek: The Next Generation 's own Lt. Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) , who has immersed himself in the Pathfinder Project. The Pathfinder Project's aim is to find a way to bring the USS Voyager home quickly , and to do so, Barclay has created a holographic version of Voyager's crew based on reports received from the Delta Quadrant in Voyager season 4's "Letters from home" arc.

While Reg's hyperfocus on the Voyager simulation shares some similarities with Barclay's disordered holodeck use on TNG , Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) returns to ensure that Barclay doesn't take it too far this time. Instead of contributing to Barclay's maladaptive daydreaming, the Pathfinder Project and Barclay's holographic friends lead to an actual solution.

1 The Doctor's Arc of Self-Actualization

Throughout star trek: voyager's entire run, the emh proves that holograms are people, too,.

After years of buildup, the Doctor's character arc comes to a head when Star Trek: Voyager season 7's recurring theme is the rights of holograms as photonic life forms. The Doctor's exploration of humanity in Voyager 's early seasons, prompted by Kes' friendship, leads to experimentation with additions to his program, like hobbies, new skills, and even a family. With the addition of a mobile emitter in Voyager season 3, the Doctor is no longer confined to sickbay and the holodeck, and the Doctor's emotional horizons begin to broaden as widely as his physical ones.

By Voyager season 7, the Doctor demands agency for holograms by fighting prejudices against photonic beings.

Each subsequent season of Star Trek: Voyager expands on the Doctor's character, introducing new friendships, like Seven of Nine, and new challenges, like encountering other photonic life forms, that give the Doctor reason to reflect on the nature of his own existence. The Doctor learns how to stand up for himself as a person , owed the same rights and privileges as any other member of Voyager 's crew. By Voyager season 7, the Doctor demands agency for holograms by fighting prejudices against photonic beings, calling out the mistreatment of holograms, and asserting his rights as an author.

Much like in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Voyager 's serialization is the result of consequences influencing what happens next. Engaging the Borg introduces Seven's arc towards individuality, which in turn influences character development for the Doctor and Janeway. The discovery of the abandoned relay station catches the attention of the Hirogen, dovetailing with the hologram rights storyline later, while also facilitating the letters from home. The letters trigger character development for B'Elanna, Tom, and their relationship, and later introduce the Pathfinder project. It may be subtle, but Star Trek: Voyager doesn't always hit the reset button.

Summary [ ]

Sky Ship appears as a new star

The new star

The USS Voyager approaches a planet rotating 58 times per minute and, while investigating, the ship enters a gravimetric gradient pulling it into a geosynchronous orbit in which the crew becomes trapped. On the planet, a native is then seen preparing an altar. Just then, an earthquake occurs, and the native sees a new star in the sky, which is Voyager .

Act One [ ]

The civilization, who had been worshiping a deity called Tahal , is confused at the situation. Another of the natives comes to interpret that there is a new deity wishing to be worshiped, orders a new altar to be made for it, and promises allegiance to the new one, calling it Ground Shaker .

The tachyon core of the planet has created a differential in space - time , meaning that time passes much more quickly on the planet than in the rest of space. Within "moments" of Voyager 's arrival and entrapment many years have passed on the surface. The initial entry into orbit coincides with an earthquake interpreted by the inhabitants as an act of a new deity, the Voyager ship appearing as a new bright star in the sky. Chakotay asks B'Elanna Torres to reconfigure a class 5 probe to take pictures every ten milliseconds, and to take surveys of the planet to help try to get Voyager out of orbit. Chakotay goes on to say that this could be the best anthropological find ever; it is one thing to dig and find the history, but to watch the civilization develop before your eyes is another thing entirely. After Torres tells Chakotay that it could take a few hours to reconfigure the probe, he says that they might miss the rise and fall of a civilization. Torres reassures him that they'll just have to watch the next one.

Sky Ship in the daytime sky

Star of the day

As time passes, the planet's inhabitants quickly change to a pre-medieval level of technology . An old teacher climbs a hill to one of his former students who is now a protector . He believes the star is from another civilization like theirs, and the Ground Shaker their protector, like himself. He intends to send a letter via hot air balloon, and has the teacher write a note for him, asking him to stop shaking the ground.

Act Two [ ]

Torres and Chakotay are fascinated as they observe scans from the probe indicating that the civilization has entered an industrial age, creating roads and more fortified buildings than normal for a civilization in that stage. Furthermore, they can tell the frequency of the earthquakes. The probe, however, soon decays and disintegrates in the atmosphere, as it's operating in the space-time of the planet, equivalent to over 200 years. Chakotay surmises that the civilization is advanced enough that it should be observing Voyager .

On the planet, an astronomical observatory exists. A scientist there is able to observe Voyager through its telescope and is trying to contact it through radio transmissions, however, it is not responding, to both him and his tired assistant's dismay. They are trying one last time before calling it a day when the assistant suggests a personal message in addition to mathematical sequences and constants.

In astrometrics , Seven of Nine detects the transmission and Chakotay recognizes they need to slow down the frequency to interpret it. In the message, the astronomer explains the culture and mythology of the planet's people. In a senior staff briefing, the crew listens to the message. For centuries the society lives with the constant ground-shaking effect brought about by Voyager and its effects on the natural poles and rotation of the planet. Cautious about first contact with a pre-warp society and aware of the accelerated aging causing by the time differential, Captain Janeway employs The Doctor to beam to the planet on an undercover mission to gather data in an effort to find a way for Voyager to escape orbit. As Janeway and Torres prepare to beam him back, the signal is lost.

Act Three [ ]

Voyager attempts to escape Kelemane's planet

Voyager 's attempt to break orbit fails

By the time The Doctor is successfully located and beamed back on board, three years have passed on the planet. Overjoyed to see them, he explains that Voyager has been a catalyst for invention and that a space race is in progress to make contact. Voyager is also used as a catalyst for religion, music, art, and even children's toys. He tells the captain that his roommate , with whom he shared an apartment, even composed an aria about Voyager . He said the apartment was destroyed by a rival state's cannon shells when they started a war with the one he was in. The Doctor goes on to explain that the war was finished in "a matter of weeks" when a new treaty was signed.

Orbital 1 prepares to dock with Voyager

The planet's space race reaches its climax

He also informs Janeway that he has committed to memory the last three hundred years of meteorological records and some seismic analysis from the planet. Using The Doctor's data, the crew attempts an escape, but after only fifty meters of ascent, seismic activity increases and the exercise is aborted. In the meantime, a space capsule from the planet's surface reaches Voyager and its two-person crew find the crew in what appears to be some form of stasis ; the time differential causes them to observe only microseconds passing on board the ship while they experience several minutes. When they reach the bridge , they witness Neelix in the middle of pouring Janeway some coffee and realize it is not stasis they are witnessing, but a time differential. Right after, they enter Voyager 's time-frame and collapse, to the surprise of the bridge crew . Janeway immediately calls for medical emergency.

Act Four [ ]

In sickbay , The Doctor was able to save the pilot, Gotana-Retz , while the commander, Terrina , does not survive the transition. The Doctor notes that, given his extensive knowledge of local physiology, he is as good as Retz' family doctor. Retz is revived in sickbay in the company of Janeway and The Doctor. After hearing the news of his fallen comrade, he informs Janeway that he is beginning to understand the time differential between his world and Voyager. Janeway explains the difference in time to Retz in greater detail, to which he asks, " So you really haven't been watching us for centuries? " Captain Janeway replies " Actually, we just got here. And we're hoping you can help us find a way to leave. "

Later, Gotana-Retz meets with Janeway in her ready room . Retz realizes that everyone he knew when he left his planet is long dead. He tells the Captain that although he is an accomplished pilot, he lacks the courage of his associates and they made a mistake choosing him. Janeway disagrees, telling Retz that for someone whose life has been turned upside down, he is handling it well. Retz reminisces and tells Janeway that when he was a child lying in his crib, his first memory was not of his mother 's face, but of the sky ship toy hanging above, and now he is the only one of his kind to know its true name: Voyager . It is obvious that he, much like the rest of his species, has always fantasized about what the sky ship is really like. Retz then wonders if Voyager will be the last thing he will ever see. The captain informs him that she has no intention of keeping him aboard against his will, but warns that the longer he stays, the harder it could become for him to return home.

Antimatter detonation by Kelemane's species

A troubling development on the planet: antimatter tests

Retz takes a moment to think about this and begins to sing in nostalgic reflection, " Star of the night, star of the day, come to take my tears away. Make my life always bright. " As he trails off, he tells Janeway that it's a child's prayer to Voyager . The captain hopes that Retz is not too disappointed in discovering that Voyager is merely a starship. Retz replies, " How often does your very first dream come true? " And although every minute spent aboard means that months and even years pass on the surface, he agrees to help the crew interpret The Doctor's data and find a way to break orbit.

USS Voyager under attack by Kelemane's species

Voyager under attack

As Seven scans the surface she detects warp experimentation. Soon after, Voyager is being attacked by antimatter torpedoes and a tricobalt device .

Act Five [ ]

Kelemane's species tractoring USS Voyager

Voyager is towed out of orbit

The weapons are soon causing major damage to Voyager 's shields , so Janeway convinces Retz to go back to the planet to convince his people the ship is not a threat. He agrees, and returns to his planet with Voyager 's specifications, with Janeway hoping he can convince his planet's rulers to stop the attacks and help them leave orbit. Before the pilot leaves, The Doctor tells him that, when he was living on the planet, he had a son who was probably long dead by this point. He asks the pilot to contact the members of his son's family to tell them about him. The pilot asks how The Doctor could have a son, as he is a hologram, The Doctor just answers " it's a long story. "

Gotana-Retz transports aboard USS Voyager

Gotana-Retz returns to Voyager

Gontana-Retz says goodbye to Captain Janeway

" I feel like I'm saying goodbye to an old friend. "

After more attacks and a planet's year since the pilot returned, two ships appear next to Voyager and deploy a tractor beam to pull it clear. Using a temporal compensator invented on his planet, Gotana-Retz returns one last time to say goodbye before the sky ship leaves forever.

Sky Ship fades away

The Sky Ship flies away

Finally, Gotana-Retz, now an old man, sits on a hillside and gazes wistfully into the sky as the star that is Voyager winks out and vanishes. The hillside now overlooks a vast technological metropolis.

Memorable quotes [ ]

" How does this sound? 'The Weird Planet Where Time Moved Very Fast and So Did the People Who Lived There,' by Naomi Wildman… " " Your title is verbose. I suggest you try to condense it. " " The Weird Planet " " Better, but it lacks precision. 'The Weird Planet Displaced in Time' " " Perfect! "

" That's one planet that never showed up on the multiple choice exam. "

" If there's an intelligent species down there, we'll be able to track their development, not just for days or weeks, but for centuries. "

" We might miss the rise and fall of a civilization. " " So, we'll watch the next one. "

" What should I say? " " Oh…glad to meet you. Where are you from? Please stop shaking our planet. "

" What if they're big purple blobs of protoplasm? " " Then you'll be the best-looking blob on the planet. "

" Captain, isn't it time we returned fire? " " We've done enough damage to these people over the last thousand years. "

" You're the best pilot we have, that's why you're on this mission. This is no different than flying your favorite… " " Oh, it's different! " " I can't argue with that. "

" Jason? An unusual name. " " Yes. He was my… son. " " But you're a hologram. " " lt's a long story. "

" If you've ever wanted to report more than the weather, now is your chance. Tell them to clear Central Lake of all traffic: Orbital 1 is coming in for a landing. "

Background information [ ]

  • Obi Ndefo previously played Drex , Martok 's son, in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season four premiere " The Way of the Warrior ".
  • In the observatory on Kelemane's planet , the hole in which the large telescope is encased in is a reuse of the framework of the Cardassian circular airlock hatch from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . One of the hatches later reappears in VOY : " Tsunkatse ", on Penk's starship , and later in the seventh season episode " Friendship One ", in the Otrin's species cave settlement.
  • The book Star Trek 101 (p. 177), by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block , lists this episode as one of the "Ten Essential Episodes" from Star Trek: Voyager .
  • This episode is notably similar to the novel Dragon's Egg , by Robert L. Forward. The novel also involves a Human space ship observing the extremely rapid evolution of a society on a star about which the ship orbits.
  • This is the last episode of Star Trek directed by Gabrielle Beaumont.

Continuity and trivia [ ]

  • One day on the planet is slightly more than one second long (1.03 seconds) in normal time, so three years on the planet would only be 18.9 minutes in normal time. This would mean that a hundred years on the planet would pass every 10.45 hours. Since Voyager seems to have been in orbit for centuries of planetary time it is likely that the episode takes place over a few days of time for the crew.
  • This episode contains a scene in which a member of an alien species writes in English using a pen and ink. This is unusual considering most alien writing depicted in Star Trek is made up of alien-looking characters.
  • Although Tuvok describes the planet as having a high rate of rotation "like a quasar ", this property more accurately describes a pulsar .
  • Star Trek: The Original Series had an episode entitled " Wink of an Eye " where Scalosians , moving too fast to be seen or heard (other than a faint buzzing sound), board the USS Enterprise and abduct Captain James T. Kirk . However their accelerated life wasn't natural, it was caused by radiation sickness which led to the change of their biochemistry. Accelerated life was natural for Kelemane's species, caused by the nature of their homeworld.
