Star Trek: The Lost Era	comment	A series of books in the Star Trek Novel 'Verse. Although each is a stand-alone (even the Terok Nor books, billed as a trilogy, are largely accessible on a one-to-one basis), they tie into an overarching account of a particular period in the Star Trek timeline; between Kirk's apparent death in 2293 and the launch of Picard's Enterprise in 2364. The novels also link in with other books set in this period but not considered a part of the Lost Era, such as Star Trek: Vulcan's Heart and The Captain's Daughter. There are eleven novels in the series: The Sundered: Captain Sulu aboard the Excelsior, on a diplomatic mission to the Tholian Assembly. Serpents Among the Ruins: Captain John Harriman aboard the Enterprise-B, and the infamous Tomed Incident, as political tensions between the Federation, Klingons and Romulans reach a head. The Art of the Impossible: An eighteen year political epic detailing a cold war between the Klingons and the Cardassians. Well of Souls: Captain Rachel Garrett aboard the Enterprise-C, and the criminal underbelly of the Star Trek universe. Deny thy Father: The exploits of Kyle Riker (Will Riker's father), and Will Riker's early Starfleet career. Catalyst of Sorrows: Aging Admiral Uhura recruits a collection of familiar characters for an undercover operation to investigate a suspected Romulan bioweapon. The Buried Age: Captain Picard pursues an archaeological mystery. The Terok Nor trilogy of Day of the Vipers, Night of the Wolves, and Dawn of the Eagles, detailing the history of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. One Constant Star: Demora Sulu as captain of the Enterprise-B eight years after Serpents Among the Ruins.Many a Continuity Nod to the events of these novels is to be found in other Star Trek books.

While Worf was selected as Kirk and McCoy's legal advocate by General Chang for the show trial, he was not part of the conspiracy. Indeed, the Colonel genuinely believed the Captain and Bones were innocent of Gorkon's murder and rightly concluded they'd been set up. Neverthless, following Chang's death and the exposure of his treason, Azebetur punished the Colonel for his tangential link to the conspiracy. Azebetur ensured Worf was denied advancement in either rank or position throughout her tenure as Chancellor. This blacklisting would last 20 years and only end with her assassination in Serpents Among the Ruins.

Without the mask, these talents would no longer be adequate, as the rulers' genes were diluted by centuries of inbreeding.

Picard notes that her protestations about doing it for some greater good ring a little hollow with that, since she clearly didn't get their okay on that one. In the climactic battle, the Manraloth remove a Starfleet vessel's warp core to depower it. A Carnellan ship then blasts it to pieces before they can reroute power.

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_42c186e	comment	A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Two years after the fact, Ariel admits her plan to sabotage the Galaxy-class ships was stupid and horrendous, fuelled by her grief over regaining her memories, but the damage has been done. What starts a brief shooting war between the Carnellan Regnancy and the Federation. Starfleet assembled a small fleet to go after the Manraloth, who were in the Regnancy, as the Carnellans were trying to force a Federation colony to leave or submit to them. The Carnellans on the ground panicked and attacked. The colonists fought back. The Starfleet officers went in to protect their people, while the Carnella admiral admits if they hadn't he'd have sent his own people in to try and calm everyone down. Seeing this, the Manraloth panic themselves and try accessing their black hole archive...

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_8d0785d5	comment	Didn't Think This Through: Probably a good description of the reason the Manraloths' plans failed; Ariel's initial attempt to 'sabotage' the Galaxy-class ships and manipulate the rest of Picard's crew fails because Data is unaffected by both her tampering with the Starfleet computers and her ability to psychologically manipulate others, allowing Data to expose her deceptions. Later on, their attempt to access one of their black hole data storage systems didn't take into account that their abrupt 'destruction' meant that the recording system was never actually 'turned off', with the result that any of the useful data they were attempting to get from the system was actually buried under literally millions of years' worth of 'static'. Towards the end of The Art of the Impossible, Curzon concedes he made this mistake with the Raknal V situation when he took a page out of the Organians' playbook. He thought using the Sherman's Planet model that had worked during Federation-Klingon Cold War was a perfect solution. What Curzon didn't consider until it was too late was that while that kind of competitive solution worked for the Klingon mindset, it didn't work for the Cardassian mindset. It only provoked resentment towards the Klingons and the Federation and is largely responsible for the Union's hostile relations with the two powers in the 16 years since.

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: The Buried Age, being written by Christopher L. Bennett, has a metric ton of these scattered in and among the plot. Pretty much every advanced ancient species from Trek lore, both TV and bookwise, gets a nod, either in Picard's lecture on them, or through the rest of the novel. Early on, Picard thinks about France, noting how he's not going back to Paris after what happened with Janice Manheim, and going back to the family farm is a no-no. In Picard and Ariel's discussion on precursor species, the entity from the animated series episode "Beyond the Farthest Star" gets brought up. Apparently it's still around, and still stuck on the dead star Kirk left it on, but Starfleet is wisely staying the hell away from it. The mind-switching machines from "Turnabout Intruder" get brought up. They were around in the Manraloth days, but were used for simple body-tourism, rather than psychotic revenge plots on exes. When the Organians come up, the ones Archer and co ran into in "Contagion" get a nod, with their different characterization given the justification that they're rebellious spirits about whom the other Organians prefer to not speak of. In Data's conversation with Ariel, we see things from his viewpoint, and as mentioned many times over TNG, his attention is never entirely focused on her alone because his android brain is focused on lots of other things as well. The discussion on the victims of the aforementioned Ascending-To-A-Higher-Plane gone wrong hints that some of them were the Redjac entity Kirk ran into (or the like). Ariel's first impression of Guinan is her breaking up a potential bar brawl with her "souvenir from Makus III". In her time in the Carnellan Regnancy, Guinan goes under an assumed name. Q had intimated in "Q Who?" that she had gone under many names, but this wasn't followed up on elsewhere. She also introduces herself to Ariel by stating "I tend bar", as she did to Ensign Ro. When Picard gets subject to the accidental Mind Rape of the Manraloth, he sees his father saying "look what happened to you", and his mother, accompanied by her tea-set. While talking things out at the climax, Guinan informs Picard that when one hates for too long, it becomes "like old leather." The very thing Picard would say on the subject in "The Wounded". The interlude with Ariel notes the higher species hanging around the shallow end of the Godlike Alien pool, such as the Travellers, the Douwd (who apparently all tend to hide their nature), and a brief cameo from V-Ger. The description Picard gives of why he chose Riker as his first officer is nigh-word for word the reason he gives Pressman in "The Pegasus". The final part of the book is a reproduction of the first past segments from "All Good Things", cutting off just before Q's first interference. Even Torres, the Redshirt Q froze, gets mentioned. In their reunion, Data mentions he's been trying to ape human behaviour, and hasn't quite got the hang of it, even wavering between using contractions and not using contractions, just as he did in the show, before his characterization was nailed down.

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_9de7a5d0	comment	Fix Fic: Serpents Among the Ruins and The Art of the Impossible in tandem reconcile the longstanding Continuity Snarl about Azebetur succeeding Gorkon as the Klingon Chancellor in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country despite TNG's ''Redemption'' previously establishing Klingon women are barred from the High Council. After Azebetur is assassinated by Ditagh and his fellow reactionaries, they unsurprisingly begin dismantling her entire political legacy. They also use Azebeteur's tenure and policies as an excuse for legally barring Klingon women from ever again serving on the High Council. K'mpec does not rescind the ban upon becoming Chancellor and it remains in place through his and subsequently Gowron's administrations. The Klingon politics arc of Serpents Among the Ruins and The Art of the Impossible also reconciles the Continuity Snarl of TNG's "Yesterday's Enterprise" (the Battle of Narendra III leading to a Federation-Klingon Peace Treaty) with Star Trek VI (the later-established Khitomer Accords being signed 50 years before "Yesterday's Enterprise"). As part of the rejection of Azebetur's legacy, her reactionary successors return to the pre-Gorkon policies and militarism. This, combined with the Betreka Nebula Incident and hostilities with the Cardassians, inflames tensions with the UFP. It looks more and more like a renewed Federation-Klingon conflict is inevitable...until the Romulan attack on Narendra III. Having dropped the ball on the Romulans due to their post-Tomed Incident isolation, and to honor the sacrifices of the Enterprise-C and its crew, K'mpec and other influential Klingons successfully push for renewed, stronger ties with the UFP. Christopher L. Bennett uses The Buried Age to seamlessly reconcile the longstanding contradictions between the 'threatening', militaristic characterization of Ferengi in early TNG and their later, now-familiar corporate depiction from DS9. Before the Battle of Maxima, the Ferengi Alliance becomes aware of the Federation. As detailed under Culture Clash, they understandably think that a civilization built entirely upon a post-scarcity economic structure and shuns profit is either lying through their teeth...or completely batshit crazy and dangerous. In response, Grand Nagus Zek orders a military buildup and sanctions the spread of the malicious rumors that the Enterprise-D will hear come "Encounter at Fairpoint" (like how the Ferengi supposedly eat their competitors). Zek's intention is that when the Ferengi Alliance inevitably makes contact with the UFP again, it'll be from a position of strength. Bennett also uses Zek's pre-Federation Fist Contact policies to fill in the longstanding plot hole of how the UFP could have had no knowledge of the Ferengi given what DS9 subsequently reveraled about the extent of the Alliance's commerical dealings throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. In additon to the aformentiond malicious rumors, Zek also offered incentives (read: bribes) to new customers and existing clients to keep shtum about their dealings with the Alliance. The Ferengi also relied on intermediaries and audio-only negotiations to build up their mystique and not tip their hand to the UFP too soon.

He is and he isn't - he is definitely cantankerous, but only on those he feels aren't trying hard enough and being lazy. He's awed to hear about Geordi LaForge working himself to exhaustion to fix a shuttle just because Picard had made an absent comment about it, when confronted by the guy's captain.

He believes (correctly, actually, though his reasons are simply the result of his paranoia not genuine knowledge) that the Federation wasn't attacked by Admiral Vokar as everyone thinks. The Federation must have planned a false attack to frame Romulus. In other words, Vreenak thinks it's a fake. Fans of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will get the subtle joke.

Trying to unite the multiverse as they had the galaxy, the Manraloth and their allies attempted to tap into the higher dimensional planes with their minds. The resulting surge of energy proved too powerful, overloading the telepathic centres of every Manraloth and transmitting it to any other brain capable of receiving it. The entire galactic population was forced into a state of pure energy, long before most races were ready. Ariel, who was revived from a quantum status field erected to save her during the above catastrophe, eventually chooses to ascend too, and join the rest of her people, though this time they decide to ease into it, which works out a lot better.

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_e0040f41	comment	Start of Darkness: Corbin Entek, a Cardassian Obsidian Order villain from a highly popular episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, is a lowly junior probationist in The Art of the Impossible, albeit a promising one. The novel features a sub-plot in which he settles into the Order and earns the admiration of Enabran Tain. Vreenak's disdain for the Federation heroes is explored in Serpents Among the Ruins, setting him up for his role in "In the Pale Moonlight".

Star Trek: The Lost Era / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: In the Distant Prologue of One Constant Star, set eight years before Serpent Among the Ruins. Harriman is considering the possibility of "manoeuvring" the Romulans into peace. In The Buried Age, Picard hears about the idea of nanotechnology, and thinks about how he might not have a problem seeing where that goes. You'll change your tune soon enough, Jeany-boy... Janeway, after her well-meaning attempt to free some Manraloth from their security field kills most of the frostees, declares that in the future, if she's ever forced to chose between her own desires or the well-being of aliens, she's damn well going to go for the later. Picard's behaviour in the last third of the book has him becoming dangerously obsessed with finding and dealing with a threat. Again. And yes, the parallel to Ahab is brought up this time as well. On meeting Worf, he initially wants a security posting, and is pretty miffed when Picard instead gives him the broader function he serves in TNG season 1. The Buried Age also depicts the situations where Picard first encounters, and is impressed by, Geordi La Forge and Tasha Yar. Picard describes these in "The Next Phase" and "Legacy" respectively. The conclusion of The Art of the Impossible has newly ascended Chancellor K'mpec declare that the ruined wreck of Ch'gran on the planet Raknal V no longer worth the effort that has gone in to recovering it and ceding the planet to the Cardassians, claiming to be focused on the future of the Empire, not the past. This is much like his appeal to Worf to drop his challenge of the Klingon High Council's ruling of Mogh being a traitor, using the same justification, that the future matters more than the past.

Their methods of doing so conflict with those of the Federation, and they are very, very sneaky and manipulative. Always, though, their intentions are good and noble. The Regnancy of the Carnelian Throne, whose citizens are metaphorically slaves to the Carnelian Throne itself. They ritualistically "play along" with subjugation as part of their "enslavement" to the values it represents. In The Sundered, Sulu acknowledges this trope when agreeing to honour the Tholian warrior caste's legal determinations of truth, which are arrived at through combat.

Let's just say it's not hard to see why Picard wanted to smash a chair across her face the next time they meet. She acts in an entirely unprofessional manner during his hearing, despite repeated censure before and after, and when called for nearly scuppering the whole case, insists it's not her fault and storms out.
