Background information

According to the Star Trek Chronology, events in this year should take place between the stardates of 39000 and 39999.

Their are two sources for 40000s range stardates in this year:

• The log entry made by Ensign Anthony Brevelle in TNG: "Identity Crisis".
• The dates seen by Deanna Troi in a hallucination in TNG: "Eye of the Beholder". These dates were all in the 40000s range, even though they took place over several years.

There is some debate on the dating of the Setlik III massacre. O'Brien had previously stated his first use of transporter technology was in 2347 (TNG: "Realm of Fear"), and his Starfleet career began in 2350 (DS9: "Rules of Engagement"). The faux Boone specifically stated he left Starfleet in 2362 following the massacre. (DS9: "Tribunal").

Ro Laren's graduation date was listed as 2364 on her personnel file in "Conundrum", but was corrected to 2362 by "The Next Phase".

The script for "Chain of Command, Part II" suggests Jil Orra is seven years old in 2369, thereby placing her birthdate in this year. [1]
