Changes: Europe

Revision as of 04:01, 2 March 2015

Europe was a continent on the planet Earth, and part of Eurasia. This continent had coastlines on the North Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea.

In the mid-14th century, the bubonic plaque resulted in the death of over half of Europe's population. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")

According to Leonardo da Vinci , when Petrarch climbed Mont Ventoux , he viewed the whole of Europe and believed he was witnessing the birth of a new age, the Renaissance. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")

In the mid-20th century, the assignment patch for Apollo 8 included western Europe in its design. (ENT: "First Flight")

In the 2020s, Europe was affected by political problems. A guest at a party held by Chris Brynner in 2024 thought Europe was "falling apart," while expressing confidence that such troubles would never occur in the United States, an opinion that Jadzia Dax quickly shot down. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")

During the early 22nd century the European Hegemony was formed, a loose alliance which represented the first stirrings towards world government. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")

A 21st century-era political map of Earth was stored in the USS Enterprise's library computer in 2254. The European continent was seen on this map. This map was among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS-R: "The Cage")

By the early 24th century, an European Alliance existed. (TNG: "The Price")

The European Alliance may have been the successor of the European Hegemony or they may have coexisted in Europe.

Other governments in the European region mentioned in apocrypha include the European Union at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works referenced in the Picard family album and the novel The Sundered, the United States of Europe at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works referenced in The Federation FASA RPG Sourcebook and the Mediterranean Alliance at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works referenced in the Star Trek: The Motion Picture novelization.

Background information

The maps used in the original "The Cage" were published in the early 1960s. The landmass of Europe was seen on two political maps of the northern hemisphere. Decades later, a Central Intelligence Agency map, which was used in the remastered "The Cage", was published either in April 2007 [1] or September 2008 [2]. The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained its independence between the releases. The listed countries and territories were those which could be seen in both maps.
