About

The Prime Timeline refers to the primary continuity of events related to the 

, launched in 2245 by the United Federation of Planets.

The Prime Timeline is the point of origin used to reference several other quantum realities chronicled within this archive. These collectively are part of a larger “Alpha” Multiverse of notable and interconnected parallel universes, which include the “Mirror Universe,” ” Kelvin Timeline,” and the "Alternate Future of 2395”.

Beyond the “Alpha” Multiverse exists a similar but distinct “Beta” Multiverse, and an infinite myriad of parallel realities, each with their own 

 at the center of a branching local multiverse.

The “Prime Timeline” and “Alpha” Multiverse are used to refer to the main continuity of events depicted in the 

 television and film series. It is distinct from the continuity and mythology of 

 stories appearing in other licensed media such as books or video games, which the Roddenberry Archive considers to take place in a separate “Beta” multiverse also worthy of record - especially when these materials later influence or establish details in the Prime Timeline - or are written by Gene Roddenberry himself.


The Roddenberry Archive lists several unrealized “Roddenberry” 

) in the Prime Timeline section. For Gene Roddenbery, these ships represented the primary universe version of the 

 for film and television at the time of their conception, even if they were never released in a finished production.



Prime Timeline

The Kelvin Timeline is a quantum reality that is similar, but not identical, to the Prime Timeline, causally linked as the result of temporal incursions that destroyed the 

 in 2233 in this alternate reality. Ambassador Spock - from the Prime Timeline - traversed to the Kelvin Timeline in 2258 and died in 2263 at the age of 161 on New Vulcan.

Kelvin Timeline

The Mirror Universe is a parallel quantum reality, where events, entities, and societies may somewhat mirror those of the Prime Timeline in the 21st - 23rd centuries, but often with antithetical and inverted outcomes. Notably, the Federation does not exist in this reality; instead, the Terran Empire rules in its place with extreme brutality and ruthlessness.



Mirror Universe

Alternate Timelines typically share an identical past or future history with the Prime Timeline, but splinter into a new independent quantum reality at a single temporal branching event - often the result of time travel - occasionally allowing temporary traversal and exploration of possible futures or past outcomes that diverge from the Prime Timeline.



Alternate Realities

Beyond the original Prime Timeline’s ‘Alpha’ Multiverse of traversable quantum realities (The Mirror Universe, Kelvin Timeline, Alternate Future of 2295), there exists an infinite set of parallel myriad realities, each with its own 

The now defunct “First Splinter Timeline”, part of a larger ‘Beta’ Multiverse, was one notable example of a myriad reality that was causally connected and aware of the Prime (Alpha) Timeline. In another reality, James T. Kirk was resurrected after his apparent death on Veridian III. 

The Roddenberry Archive considers officially licensed literary works and stories - sometimes referred to as “Beta” canon - to be an important aspect of the 

 mythos. While not directly crossing over into the “Alpha” timelines of the films and television series, they nevertheless represent a significant subset of 

 mythology, and often are the source of events and details later adapted in the film and television series. 

 series of novels published by Pocket Books (with crossovers through multiple comic series and publishers including Marvel Comics, IDW Publishing, DC Comics, and others) began in 1979, with Gene Roddenberry’s first and only published 

Subsequent Pocket Books novels and inter-connected comics that follow Roddenberry’s novelization form a parallel “literary” multiverse which shares key events with the Prime Timeline, while diverging from it in others. These modern era 

 novels ultimately established a decades-long coherent continuity in books published from 2002 through 2021. In the novel series “Coda”, this literary universe was revealed to be a splinter timeline that resulted from the events of 

A separate reality depicted in the novels (and DC Comics special) “Ashes of Eden” and “The Return”, in which Kirk returned to life after the events of 

, is colloquially referred to as the “Shatnerverse”, named after the novel’s author, William Shatner. Mr. Shatner reflected on his experience and intent in writing this story in his video testimonial for the Roddenbery Archive.

The Roddenberry Archive chronicles realities and continuities established in video games, role-playing games, and other mediums, notably the alternate timelines established in FASA, Last Unicorn Games, and 

 inspired the canonical version of the ship a decade later. Events in 

’s primordial continuity are also depicted in IDW Publishing’s “Countdown” comics. Later 

storylines establish that the events and realities depicted in its ongoing continuity are distinct timelines unique to 

Rod Roddenberry has tasked the Roddenberry Archive team to also note important contributions from fandom that exist outside of licensed works. This “Gamma” continuity of stories and art includes

Myriad Realities

Notable ships, vessels, stations, crafts, and structures that exist in the Prime Timeline, including those with historic ties to the 

 or its crew, as well as vessels on display in the Starfleet Museum, and early NASA probes such as Voyager 6 (1999).

Prime Timeline - Historic Ships and Structures

Ship

was a Federation starship active in the early 2230s. In 2233, under the command of Captain Richard Robau, the 

encountered a black hole from which a Romulan ship from the year 2387, the 

, appeared. This event altered the timeline and created what is colloquially known as the Kelvin Timeline. After a brief battle that resulted in Captain Robau's death and the complete evacuation of the 

, First Officer Lieutenant George Kirk assumed command and sacrificed himself and the ship by ramming it into the Narada in order to disable it. It was during the battle that George Kirk’s son, James T. Kirk, was born.  Although Captain Robau, George Kirk, and several other crewmembers were killed during the battle, over eight hundred of its crew were safely evacuated, including newborn James T. Kirk and his mother, Winona Kirk.

Bridge

 was darker and more industrial in design compared to the brighter and more streamlined command bridges that Starfleet designed in the decades following.  Although a smaller bridge comparatively, it held space for 17 crew members including the captain.  Its multi-tier design afforded the centrally located captain’s chair a full view of the space out of the large trisected viewscreen/window combination that was located at the forward quadrant of the bridge.  Crew stations circled the outer perimeter of the bridge, containing over 100 display monitors to provide the crew with real-time information on all ship systems.

 was designed by James Clyne, part of Scott Chambliss’s production design team for the film. Like the ship's exterior, the design philosophy behind the bridge was to make it fit in with the traditional and recognizable design aspects of 

 starship interior sets, to contrast with the fresh take of the 

 bridge that would appear later in the film.



Starships

 NX-74205 was a Federation starship launched in 2370 and assigned to the space station Deep Space 9 in the Bajor Sector. The prototype for a proposed new class of escort intended to improve Starfleet’s ability to defend against a possible Borg offensive, the 

was equipped with quantum torpedo launchers and protected by ablative armor plating, giving it exceptional offensive and defensive capabilities. It played a key role in the Dominion War until its destruction during the final days of the conflict.

Much smaller than other Starfleet bridges of the era, the 

’s bridge was as focused and utilitarian as the rest of the starship’s design. The captain’s chair was placed on a raised platform at the center of the room with a single helm console directly in front of it. The sides of the room featured four seated stations, two of which were tactical consoles and the others were engineering and science. Directly behind these stations were the egress doors, which connected to the rest of deck 1. The back of the bridge featured a retractable situation table for the crew to gather and discuss matters of importance, such as upcoming mission briefings

Crew Quarters

Unlike larger starships of the era, due to the limited habitable space on board all crew members had to share accommodations on the
