The universe and timeline of [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] is a continuation of the "prime" ''[[Star Trek: An Introduction|Star Trek]]'' universe (i.e., the universe seen in the various television series as well as the first ten films, ''The Motion Picture'' through ''Nemesis''). The more recent Trek films that take place in an alternate reality created by Nero's trip into the past also reveal major developments to the prime universe that are recognized in the UFOP: StarBase 118 universe such as the destruction of Romulus and Remus.

{{box|BACKGROUND=#F0F0FF|BORDER=#CCCCFF|Although ''Star Trek Online'' is also set in the prime universe and has a detailed timeline of its own called [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Path_to_2409 "The Pathway to 2409"] that lays out events from right after ''Nemesis'' (2379) to when that game is set (2409), we do not recognize every event in that timeline as also having occurred in our interpretation of the prime universe.

Founded in 1994, [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] has continued in real-time since the release of ''Star Trek Nemesis'' in 2002. Just as it has been {{#expr:({{CURRENTYEAR}}-2002)}} years since that movie's release, so too has it been {{#expr:({{CURRENTYEAR}}-2002)}} years "in character" (IC) since 2379, when ''Nemesis'' was set. '''Thus, the current year in our game is {{#expr:({{CURRENTYEAR}}+377)}}.'''
