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. | 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'').

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." | 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.''

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. | 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..."
