World War III

 

 

October 5,2059- The Optimum movement,a neo-fascist organization in the

Republics of Earth to replace the "so called New United Nations".The

movement continues to build support in Europe and Oceania.

leadership of Colonel Patrick Green who puts the Australian Prime

Minister under house arrest.New Zealand follows the same course on

March 27.

 

 

May 2,2060 - The Stockholm Massacre occurs.Colonel Adrick Thorsen,a

leading member of Colonel Green's cadre,quells a ration demonstration

in Stockholm Sweden by deploying battlefield pulse emitters against

unarmed civilians.Nearly 700 were killed and over 2000 injured in that

brutal assault.

 

 

 

March 19,2061 - Colonel Adrik Thorsen unsuccessfully attempts to

obtain faster than light technology from American scientist Zefram

Cochrane.

 

 

June 2,2071- US President Christine Thomas,Secretary of State John F

Kennedy III and 11 others are killed in a hover copter explosion over

Paris ,France.Evidence,that is withheld from the American public to

avert a war,suggests Optimum involvement.

 

 

August 26 ,2075- To the shock and horror of the United States and the

remaining democracies in the world, The Optimum is victorious in Great

Britain's parliamentary elections.

 

September 17, 2075- Queen Mary III is imprisoned for opposing Optimum

policies.

students-nearly 1000 are killed,hundreds wounded.

 

 

June 8,2078- Optimum forces invaded Belarus,Ukraine and Moldavia.The

next day they move into Venezuela,Ecuador,Columbia and Peru.The New

United Nations condemns these invasions.The United

States,Russia,Mexico and several other Central American,African and

Asian nations declare war on the Optimum over the next few days.

 

 

July 13,2078 -Colonel Green starts a nuclear exchange between the

Optimal Republics of Earth and the New United Nations.37 million are

killed in the initial exchange.Millions die eventually.

 

 

April 19,2079 President Littlehawk,former presidents Chang and Hogan

and 72 others are killed in an explosion at the Powell Institute while

planning the defeat of remaining Optimum forces.It is later discovered

that Vice President Tricia Brown was an Optimum operative instrumental

in causing this tragedy.This date is considered the end of the old

United States government as no more presidential elections were held

and what was the remaining United States government lead the recovery

movement with the New United Nations and Earth colonies which

eventually formed the United Earth government in the 22nd century.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patrick Stephen Green (Colonel) 2021-2083

 

Colonel Patrick Green was a founder of the Optimum movement and lead

the Optimal Republics of Earth from 2059-2079.Green grew up in one of

the few Australian families that had publicly supported the Great

Khanate when it occupied Australia from 1994-1996.His lifelong

obsession with finding what was optimal for humankind lead to the his

joining one of the fledgling neo-fascist organizations that sprung up

in the 2030's and 2040's on an increasingly poor and polluted

Earth.His tyrannical rule is well known and was of course topped by

the appalling atrocity he committed on July 13,2078 in causing a

nuclear exchange with the New United Nations that killed

millions.Green fled the earth when his forces neared defeat in

September 2079.He was found in an obscure asteroid colony in 2082

,having undergone reconstructive surgery, and was extradited back to

Earth.Green was found guilty and was executed for crimes against

humanity on October 5,2083.

 

 

Mary Anne McDonald (Colonel) 2030-2082

 

 

Colonel Mary McDonald was the notorious Optimum leader in Great

Britain who succeeded Adrik Thorsen (2028-2078) after his

assassination by resistance forces on June 21,2078.She was brutal in

her suppression of the resistance and increasingly restless British

public.McDonald is best remembered for the order to execute Queen Mary

III on September 11,2079.Queen Mary had been held at Highgate prison

since 2075 as an enemy of the Optimal Republic of Great

Britain.McDonald was captured at an Ireland spaceport on October 25

2079 attempting to flee Earth in the wake of the Optimum's defeat.She

was put on trial ant the International military tribunal in San

Francisco CA and executed for crimes against humanity on April

18,2082.

If one speaks of a curse related to American presidents one surely applies to those presidents who were born in the 21st century.All 4-(Christine Thomas 2019-2071,Mark Chang 2005-2079,Rebecca Hogan 2010-2079 and Jonathan Littlehawk 2016-2079)died violent deaths as targets of Optimum assassination.President Christine Thomas was killed in a hover copter explosion over Paris, France on June 2,2071.It was later determined that an Optimum bomb was responsible.Thomas' successor President Mark Chang (D) suppressed this information as he was aware that public knowledge of the presidents murder would lead to a war with the ORE (Optimal Republics of Earth).The most striking evidence of this curse occurred on April 19,2079.On that day President Jonathan Littlehawk and former presidents Mark Chang and Rebecca Hogan were killed in the bombing of the Powell Institute building in suburban Washington DC(which had been partially destroyed in the nuclear war the previous year).The 3 presidents were conferring there with United States and New United Nations military officers and staff about prosecuting the war with the ORE to its completion.Even more shocking was the revelation that Vice President Tricia Brown was instrumental in the bombing as an Optimum operative!Although the United States government did not immediately collapse many consider that day the death of the old United States.The later revelation of a broad Optimum presence and sympathies in the US government and society drastically altered the American nation.The United States along with the New UN became the driving force for a United Earth government(which finally arrived in 2113 and was completed by with the membership of Australia in 2150-that nation held out all those years in part due to long memories from its tragic role in the Eugenics Wars and World War III).Tricia Brown was captured,tried and executed at the International Military Tribunal trials in San Francisco CA in 2082-2083 along with 44 other major Optimum leaders including Colonel Green.

I was astonished by them adding in WWIII and it scares me to think that they have to have another fight for humanity in order to have great peace. As we see later on with the tv series they have another war for a series DS9. Why does war excite us so much that we have to incorportate it in almost everything? When war beomes reality to us it makes us angry and upset, but for entertainment (such as Star Wars), we get all gitty and psyched. Just a bit confusing and mind boggling. :)

I think if you were to change the names of the presidents during 2001-2009 and 2017-2021 it'd be fixed. The reason why is because not only did powell not become president, he didn't even run for the office, and JFK Jr died in a plane crash so he's far from being capable to run for office. Thought this would help things, providing that the presidential history is pretty much the same in the star trek universe at least till cochrane makes his warp flight. Also, it seems the war occured during the years 2051-2061, at least according to the Star Trek Chronology (and it seems the war was over at least before cochrane's flight).

If I remember right, First Contact said the flight took place around 10 years after the war. Governments would be regrouping and stable enough for Cochrane to aquire the resources he needed but still not be fully in control.

 

And what about President Schwarzenegger? According to Demolition Man they changed the Constitution so he could run (some time after all restaurants became Taco Bell). :P

This very interesting. As for war exciting people? War and fighting has always been with us and I beggining to think that some one some where will always have a reason or excuse for violence. Plus sometimes violence is neccessary such as during the Dominion war in DS9.

Must be an alternate timeline, considering I believe WWIII ended in 2053 in the Star Trek Universe and there is no mention of first contact on that timeline. Still interesting though.

A nice read. Interesting that we see the atrocities the Colonel Green. Wasn't he the one in that episode of TOS that was one of the four representatives of evil ( with Kirk, Spock, Lincoln, and the Vulcan founder of their culture of logic being the representatives of good) showing an alien culture the difference between good and evil?

I note the many refernces to Judy and Gar Stevens' ''Federation''-to me, a fave book, i've peeked at time and again since I got my copy way back in '94 or '95....but the comment made about how we get so excited about fictional wars, when a very real one is going on in this day-a good point made. I loved STAR WARS, was a huge fan back in the day, and the DS9 'war saga' had its dramatic battles...but once in a while the same thought has passed through my mind as well. It won't be the last time someone creates war to entertain...and we will keep watching, of course. But it never hurts to be reminded....
