"Tales of The Lost Era"

Background information

  • The "Lost Era" concept was developed by Pocket editor Marco Palmieri, who defined it as the period of history between the apparent death of James T. Kirk aboard the Enterprise-B in 2293 and the launch of the Enterprise-D in 2363. (The Star Trek: Terok Nor miniseries extend past that point, to just prior to the events of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in 2369.)
  • In looking back over the initial six-novel series, Palmieri considered that his only regrets were "that there was less thematic variety among the stories than I was hoping for.", noting that "most of the things that had been established about those years were military in nature – wars, battles, etc. We knew far less about discoveries, first contacts, scientific breakthroughs, etc." Although the final novels all ultimately featured some form of conflict – which led Palmieri to muse in retrospect whether he should have pushed back further – he still considered them to be "a strong set of novels with some really outstanding storytelling". (Voyages of Imagination, p. 456)
  • A planned but unreleased novel would have featured Sisko on the USS Okinawa during the Tzenkethi War in the 2360s.
