Star Trek Online and the new Star Trek movie


It's currently the biggest box office hit of 2009 but the success of the new Star Trek movie has made many die hard Trek fans wonder what happened to the timeline of the previous TV shows and movies. Now Cryptic has answered that question in their new timeline chart for their upcoming MMO Star Trek Online.

While this is explained as a quick sequence in the movie, the timeline gives a clearer picture of how the new Star Trek movie fits with regular Trek canon. In short, the new Trek is set in an alternate timeline from the original Trek universe. However the events that caused that alternate timeline to be created (namely the destruction of the Romulan homeworld and the time travel jump of Nero and Spock) will indeed affect the Trek "prime" universe which Star Trek Online is set.
