eleanorjaneA Guide to Trek, from the RPGs: 4. Timeline: A History of the Future
Note that the timeline focuses on major political/military history up to the eras of TNG/DS9/VOY; I haven't summarized the major events of DS9 and Voyager yet, but I'll come back and edit it in if need be. (I also haven't included the timeline of events from Enterprise, as they don't quite jibe with the rest of the canon history, but I can write it up if people want.)
For reference, the Enterprises:
NX-01: From Enterprise, NX-class, captained by Archer.
NCC-1701: From TOS and movies I-III, Constitution-class, captained by Robert April, Christopher Pike and James T. Kirk. (In AOS movieverse, captained by Christopher Pike and then James T. Kirk in Star Trek, Into Darkness, and Beyond.)
NCC-1701-A: From movies IV-VI, Constitution-class, captained by Robert April, Christopher Pike and James T. Kirk. (In AOS movieverse, commissioned/built at the end of Beyond and presumably captained by James T. Kirk.)
NCC-1701-B: From Generations, Excelsior-class, captained by John Harriman.
NCC-1701-C: From the TNG episode ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise’. Ambassador-class, captained by Rachel Garrett.
NCC-1701-D: From TNG and Generations, Galaxy-class, captained by Jean-Luc Picard.
NCC-1701-E: From First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis. Sovereign-class, captained by Jean-Luc Picard.
