  • Star Trek has a long history in universe and many parts of it are not fleshed out. The "Lost Era" refers to the time between the ending of the Motion Picture era films and the start of The Next Generation, making up the dates of 2293 to 2364. A lot happened in this time, but it's mostly unexplored so with the Section 31 film being set to take place in this era, let's take a look at what we know of it with 8 things from this time.

      Same but I guess as Sisko the Elder was on earth all that time he had more time exploring the fun sides of person-to-person interaction him being a cook and all(also very much and open, energised personality) While Pircard was to business reading books and making aliens angry until they stab him lol

      @@bamstarful lol, other way round. Joseph was reading cook books, watching plants grow and checking in on animal farms for ingredients as he mastered his craft. Picard was busy chasing pretty much anything in a skant that moved. lets not forget all the lady Admirals tat he used to date, and the fact he was so busy fooling around he only had middling scores at starfleet. It took getting stabbed for him to buckle down and take his career more seriously. Maybe all the adrenaline had an effect on his looks?

      @@littlekong7685 According to the DS9 Season 2 episode "The Alternate", Joseph Sisko had a fairly long-lasting "grave illness" when Ben was younger, and as a result had to have "several" artificial organs implanted. So an illness sufficiently bad to cause multiple irrecoverable organ failures. That could have a net result of prematurely aging someone who managed to survive it. Conversely, Picard had a severe acute physical trauma followed by a replacement of his heart with an artificial organ. Severe trauma, certainly, but much more quickly resolved and occurring within an otherwise healthy body.

    The Cardassian border wars is what I like to see.
    The contrast between a Federation that wants "peace in our time" and only half-heartedly fights war for ultimately expandable border colonies and
    the Cardassians Union desperater to make a strong enough showing to deter further Federation expansion into their few productive sectors while being out-classed in every way.
    It would be interesting to see the politics play out between those in Starfleet that want to put the upstarts in their place (looking at you, Nachayev),
    those that are asking why even bother to fight for fringe colonies (because people will sure comply, when being told to leave their new homes to the whims of foreign powers, Nakamura).
    And on the Cardassian side, it would be interesting to see the rise of notorious people like Dukat, Garak's father's rise to the top of the Obsidian Order or what drove the Cardassians would committ certain atrocities.

    In my head canon, the "monster maroon" uniform was being phased out just before the Enterprise C is destroyed, as such, the crew of the ship hadn't received the new uniforms at the time of their deaths. The new uniform would stylistically look just like the modified monster maroons used by the Enterprise C crew, but now with the proper division colors of red, blue, and gold, at this time Red would become the new Command/tactical standard, swapping with Gold for Engineering/operations (as many crews had become accustomed to their commanding officers wearing red/maroon) a few other alterations might be made, such as the pants losing their low tucked appearance for a more loose fit, along with some other minor details to help bridge the gap leading toward the TNG uniform.

    I’d use the movie uniforms in the Enterprise-C era, but change the maroon service jackets department color, and the turtleneck underneath black. That alludes to the TNG color scheme, while adhering to what we saw in “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. The only officers we saw in that episode were the captain and the helmsman; two characters that would be wearing red dept colors in any case.
    The turtlenecks could be interchangeable with the crew neck undershirts we saw in the 2320-2330s, as a nod to that variant, as well.

    The Monster Maroon had several evolutions during its tenure. They ended up being just the Jacket, Trousers and boots, with the TNG era Combadge, around the time Wesley Crusher was born (TNG Ep. "Family"). At the time of Jack Crusher's Death, they had changed to the Uniform of the First Season of TNG. But the Enterprise-C era had the uniform and the large Starfleet badge was a Combadge, but it was also the same as the Jack Crusher Uniform from "Family". Apparently there was a version with a crew neck shirt worn under the Monster Maroon jacket. At some point they got rid of the belt.

    Ever since the Generations movie came out, I have said that the Star Trek producers missed a golden opportunity to tell the story, on screen, of Captain Harriman and the Enterprise-B. It would have been interesting to see Harriman dealing with the trauma of "losing" Kirk and trying to live up to brief, but poignant, lessons that Kirk taught him that day (particularly about needing to take risks if you're going to sit in the Captain's chair).

    The Battle of Narendra III featuring Tasha Yar and the C?
    Young Picard becomes captain of the Stargazer?
    Take it a step further where was the E during the Dominion War?
    I think its an excellent way to cover the lost era a little and give us some fan service. With more stories from some of our favorite characters.

    Re: Picard being older than Joseph Sisko: According to info from the DS9 episode "The Alternate" (Season 2, Episode 12), Joseph Sisko suffered a grave illness when Ben was young, and as a result has "several" artificial organs. That could definitely explain him looking older than Picard. That sort of thing can generally wear on a person and result in them looking less hale and hearty than their chronological age would otherwise suggest.

    It would be nice to see them follow the basic outlines of ships inside and out, and those excellent uniforms (I love the maroon, most, too!) but let's face it, if they can't be bothered making anything look close to the originals with Discovery/Strange new worlds, when DS9 could do it so perfectly (I even remember them saying the shiny sections in the hallways on the TOS Enterprise were hard to recreate?) the best we'll get is the variant of the Maroon uniform you showed here and hopefully the STO variants of the ships of that time. I'm glad most of this is an alternate timeline! Also randomly now I want to know what the Enterprise D looks like in the Kelvin timeline, too! XD
    Love watching your videos, can't wait for the next one, thank you!

    I hope all this is true and would love to see content from the "Lost Era". My recommendation is to set it 30 or so years after The Undiscovered Country. Then guest-starring original cast members would be feasible. Admiral Sulu, Admiral Chekov... I also would like to see Harriman return. The Fan Film Of Gods and Men did a good job evolving his character.

    I'd love to see a video on Star Trek's other "Lost Era," which is to say the ~90 year period between the Federation's founding and ST: Strange New Worlds. Also, ST: Enterprise didn't exactly do a bang up job with exploring the era between Cochrane's first Warp Flight and the Fed's founding having spent 3 out of 4 seasons messing with "Temporal Cold War" nonsense. So that could be considered a "Hazy Era" as well...

    I hope they do that uniform and not the next step that dropped the collar and thinned out the material as a precursor for the TNG uniform.
    I ran a game during this era where the Polaris (a constellation-class) had a mission profile of Crisis & Emergency Response in the Sierra Sector. They would response to colonies that we in transition to the Federation from the Romulans, Romulan infiltration, the retreat of the Empire in general (one of the other ttrpg books talked about something internal happening on the far borders of their space).
    They also were seeing a slow take over of the Romulan government by the Tal Shiar. One of the players was an augment, created by the Orions & ruddy, who was working for Section 31 to create a virus that would piggy back on phaser beams (mimicing the Viral Matrix ability, as well as creating a back door into the ship when it would 'somehow get away'.) Good times.

    This is one of the more interesting time periods, in my opinion. I always liked the 2290s and later, but never quite took to the TNG stuff as readily. So when I'm running a Star Trek game, I usually set it in the late 90s early 2300s. So this was some great info!

  • @TrentonBennett

    As much as I agree with you that since the Section 31 movie is from the Lost Era NOTHING should be changed from the established time period pre Discovery as far as looks for what we already know.
    However knowing the producers it’ll probably be a mix Disco and SNW.

  • @xdproductions3087
    @xdproductions3087 Před 20 dny

    I would like to see monster maroons retained as dress uniforms but with a more casual day-to-day uniform that’s a hybrid of the movie and TNG uniforms, signifying starfleet’s transition from the more militaristic Kirk era to the emphasis on diplomacy and exploration in Picard’s era.
    The monster maroons were used in TNG flashbacks as a cost saver. Ideally we should have seen a new uniform in Yesterday’s Enterprise that would act as a transition point toward the TNG era spandex.

  • @TheAtkey
    @TheAtkey Před 28 dny +1

    You forgot the Federation-Cardassian Wars 2347 into the 2350s with a few small skirmishes into the early 60s right before the start of TNG.
    Picard being older than Joe Sisko blows my mind. If he was born in 2309 that would make him only 66 at the end of DS9. He didn't age well at all considering people today are in better shape at 66. I always had it in my mind he was in his 80s given medical advancements and better nutrition(maybe I would avoid eating at his restaurant he may not have been joking when he said it's been months since he poisoned anyone lol)

    As for uniforms staying long, look at standard French army uniform from 1827 to 1914.

    Now if only we had some kind of deep dive into the other lost era between the late 2150s until the mid 2250s. We know the coalition of planets was founded and eventually the federation proper, the romulan war, the integration of MACO into starfleet, the loss of the USS Franklin, and a glimpse of what starfleet looked like in the 2240s. I'm pretty sure that's basically all of the alpha canon we've gotten, stitched together from enterpise and the kelvin movies of all places.
