Star Trek Expanded Universe

How do we know the year this episode too place?

According the STC website, the series takes place between 2269 and 2270. There is a stardate mentioned in the episode. I ran it through this stardate calculator and it came out 2269. I also ran the stardate of the series finale through and it came out to January 2, 2270. So it might be safe to say that this episode actually takes place in 2269. --KirbyKirkland (talk) 19:02, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
