The universe and timeline of [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] is a continuation of the "prime" ''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.

[[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)}}.'''


Stardates are treated as "(IC year)+(the current month).(the current date)" (i.e., "Captain's Log, Stardate YYYYMM.DD"). '''Today is stardate {{Stardate}}.'''

There's still plenty of uncharted regions left in the ''Star Trek'' universe and even new things to discover about familiar sights and locations. Each of our vessels operates in a unique campaign region, from the far off corners of the [[Zeta Gelis Region]] and the [[Menthar Corridor]] to the diverse civilizations of the [[Ithassa Region]].

Most avatars you will see across the fleet have adopted the Starfleet uniforms first introduced in ''Star Trek: First Contact'' and last seen in ''Nemesis.'' Onscreen, we also saw this uniform still used in 2390 in the ''Voyager'' episode "Timeless."

Although this version of the future was ultimately prevented from happening in the course of the episode, because we have seen the double-barred combadge design consistently throughout "future timeline" episodes, from "All Good Things..." (TNG) to "The Visitor" (DS9) and "Endgame" (VOY), it would seem this combadge was destined to be deployed by Starfleet. With our game now passing the events of even the alternate future seen in "Timeless," the new combadge design is now showing up across our fleet gradually.

Since 2395, some starships have also begun authorizing use of the uniforms seen in "All Good Things" and other episodes that showed the "future" Starfleet.
