Voyager flies above the LA area in 1996
Los Angeles (or simply LA) was an Earth city on the west coast of North America.
In 1996, the headquarters of Chronowerx was located in Los Angeles. Tuvok commented that the thermal and ultraviolet radiation in California, where LA was located, were at hazardous levels.
In 2047, the Hermosa Earthquake caused the region around the city to sink under 200 meters of water, creating one of the world's largest coral reefs, home to thousands of marine species. (VOY: "Future's End", "Future's End, Part II").
- It is unclear how much of Los Angeles was destroyed in the earthquake – Janeway may have been referring to the coastal suburbs only. But with an average elevation of 275 feet from lowest point to highest peak, a cataclysmic descent of 656 feet (200 meters) below sea level does not bode well for the greater Los Angeles area. Certainly, the city has not been mentioned as existing in the 24th century.
- Los Angeles was identified on a political map of the North Pacific region in the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) library computer. This map was retrieved by the Talosians when they accessed the starship's computers in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")
