Since the new Star Trek movie debuted, people have been asking often how the altered timeline and story will affect Star Trek Online. To help explain the events, Rekhan has posted a graphical timeline on the official Star Trek Online website to help explain how the movie and the game can coexist. Be warned, Quantum Physics can give you a headache.

In the movie, two characters travel back in time from the year 2387. When Nero arrives in the year 2233, he disrupts the time continuum, creating an alternate reality from the point of his arrival. Star Trek (the new movie) takes place in this alternate reality. This is explained in the film in a conversation between Uhura and Spock on the bridge of the Enterprise.
