MiRrOR TiMeZoNe: A Timeline for the Mirror Universe

Most of this timeline I was able to get online here while the pictures I got over here and over there. The comments are mine...

POINTS OF INTEREST / THE TIMELINE

Surak of Vulcan dies as an infant.

Shifts in the political climates cause NASA to be disbanded, with other nations soon following suit. Funds are redirected towards genetic research.

The supermen, tired of being scientific circus freaks, call themselves Olympians and then join up to take over all the world. The Eugenics Wars begin.

Khan (yes, that Khan...well, his Mirror) seizes most of the Middle East while another Olympian, Patrick Green gives himself the title of "Colonel" and declares himself sovereign ruler of the former United States.

After the deaths of 37 million people, Humanity gives up and goes to being the slaves and playthings of the Olympians.

Most of the Olympians have fought among each other and have killed each other. Khan and Green ruled Earth equally.

Green and all the members of his staff are killed in an explosion. Deemed an "accident". Khan takes over as supreme ruler of the Earth.

Khan orders the reactivation of the Space Program.

Singh Moonbase becomes the first permanent outpost on another planet.

Khan demands intensified efforts for the areas of space exploration and domination.

Olympus II, the first self-sufficient city in space, is completed. Inhabited by 250 people, half of which are part of Khan's Olympian Elite.

Invention of fusion torch helps to accelorate the development of fusion-powered space propulsion.

Khan sends out two manned explorations, one to Venus and one to Jupiter's moons. Only the Venus one returns. Distressed by the loss of expensive equipment and Olympian manpower, Khan sends out the probe "Nomad". Another manned probe discovers traces of an extraterrestial visit to Saturn. Radio searchs for other beings in the universe start.

Evidence of extinct microscopic life found on Mars

Mining for antimatter begins in the Asteroid Belt while terraforming begins on Venus.

Khan establishes Olympian Solar Fleet to set out and conquer other races. A base is built on Titan

"Icarus" manned mission heads for Alpha Centari. Joachim, a good friend and advisor to Khan but discontent with his obsession with Olympian supremicy (not many pure-blood Olympians left), assassinated him and renames Olympian Fleet the Earth Solar Fleet. Unluckily, also sets a precedint for "How to Become Supreme Ruler".

"Icarus" reaches Alpha Centari. Still under Khan's rule, they issue the ultimatum "Be conquered or be destroyed." The Centarians chose the first. Back home, Zefram Cochrane theorizes warp drive, but tries to hide the information from Joachim's croogies. Doesn't work: a spy ramsacks his lab and steals all notes.

An experimental warp drive ship is constructed and tested near Pluto.

Alliance Code of Martian Colonies place all inhabited regions in the Sol System under Joachim's rule.

First contact with the Vulcans! Result is an instant war.

Mutual respect for the other's fighting skills create a firm alliance between Earth and Vulcan.

First contact with the Tellarites occurs. They do the "Billy Goats Gruff" tactic and spill on the location of the Rigel Trading Planets in exchange for imperial immunity.

Alpha Centari Conference has Vulcan, Andor, Tellar, and Earth discussing strategies for invading the Rigel System.

Invasion and conquest of Rigel Trading Planets. Rigellians are exterminated and the two planets are unihabitable for the next two centuries due to accumulated radiation from the attack.

"Napoleon" series of galactic probes launched.

Zefram Cochrane, plagued by the guilt of coming up with warp drive that allowed so many people to be killed and conquered, disappears/flees into deep space.

First Babel Conference establishes empire. Original "members" include: Alpah Centari, Vulcan, Tellar, Andor, Earth.

Imperial Academy opens with a first class of 300 students.

First contact with Romulans. The offshoot of the Vulcans, they are pretty much neutral unless backed into a corner or forced to fight. The Vulcans warn the emporer to leave the Romulans alone. The emporer decides to do so.

Empire launches "Gladiator" class vessels.

Outpost One, the first Imperial fortress in space, completed.

A Romulan outpost destroyed by the I.S.S "Constitution". Romulan mobilization begins.

Romulan federation and empire begin to attack each other near Rigel II

The Romulan War ends with Romulans surrendering to Joachim's regime instead of being wiped out.

Deneb becomes the 90th world to be vanquished by the empire.

World's Vanquished number up to 100.

Izar becomes 108th world.

The first intersteller lines launched. They are known as "Quantum" class. The first is called "Enterprise".

Scientist attempt to trace the point of orgin of the extragalactic probe.

Joachim assassinated by Carl Warner. Warner becomes emporer, and will be crueler then his two predecessors.

Vulcanoid civilization of Rigel chooses genocide over slavery

Newly-invented agonizer aids empire in maintaining strict disciple in ranks.

"Titan" class ships prove a failure and are soon removed from imperial service.

"Singh" class vessels lauched. They are the first to achieve Warp 4.

First contact with the Klingons end in a draw (well, it was more of a confrontation...). First unmanned probe is launched into a black hole because Emporer Warner thinks black holes can take you to other dimensions and, well, we do need more slaves...

Movement for a Pure Humanity starts trying to make a ruckus on the media by calling for the extermination of all those "tainted" with Olympian blood. Their speeches are generally ignored.

"Vanguard" class ships launched. First ship is the I.S.S "Enterprise"

Annual Babel Conference disrupted by a represenative of the Movement, Govenor Kodos of Tarsus IV Colony. Troops attempt to arrest him, but he escapes back to Tarsus and lives in seclusion.

First contact with the Kzinti Patriarchy occurs. The Kzin welcome the empire as a way of continuing their galactic conquest.

Richard Daystrom achieves great Duotronic breakthrough, but tries to sell it to the Klingons. He is caught, tried for treason, and sent to a concentration camp on Delta Hydra VI.

Daran V becomes 550th planet seized by empire.

Memory Alpha established as the empire's storage complex for all military intelligence, most of which was stolen from other worlds.

Govenor Kodos reappears, but goes insane and kills 5 thousand men, women and children before the troopers arrive.

Empires learns of an alliance between Klingon Federation and Axanar system. Captain Garth attacks Axanar and Klingon base under construction. Four Years War begins.

Empire encounters Talos IV, and limps away without being able to conquer the Talosians, who are highly advanced in mental control, manipulations, and illusions. The whole system is quarantined. Enter at pain of death.

Emporer Warner breaks off attacks on Klingons, no longer considering the crippled Klingons a threat.

Warner assassinated. The new emporer encourages the Green Slave Trade on Orion (Rigel VIII)

James Kirk assasinates Captain Pike and becomes captain of the "Enterprise". Probable that he used the Tantalus device found in a plundered lab. His first act is to destroy the rebel planet to stop uprising of Gorla. Second is to excecute 5,000 people on Vega IX to insure they retract their secession.

First 'crossover' incident involving Captain Kirk, Lt. Uhura, Doctor McCoy and Chief Engineer Scott of the Federation ship "Enterprise" and empire ship "Enterprise". Kirk becomes famous for influencing Commander Spock to begin reforms for peace and disarmment. Transporters redesigned to prevent future reoccurances.

While en route back to Deep Space Nine, Doctor Bashir and Major Kira are sent to the Mirror Universe due to an anomoly in the Wormhole. Due to Doctor Bashir's talking with the "Theta" Miles O'Brian, Terran Benjamin Sisko helps to start the Terran revolts. Doctor Bashir and Major Kira are able to return via the wormhole, but the way back to Deep Space Nine was still open.
