[[File:Bring-the-Horizon-small.png|right|500px]]Quantum reality, or quantum universe, was the term used to describe the alternate timelines in which all possible outcomes for any event take place. Each quantum reality was its own separate parallel universe characterized by a unique quantum signature which could not be altered. All matter resonated on a quantum level with this signature within the universes. In the Theurgy reality, as a result of different events and actions, there were differences from the normal state of the universe as of the year 2381.

Comparing it to the reality where the ''[[USS Enterprise]]'' fought the Reman Praetor Schinzon in 2379, these were the differences in the Theurgy universe:

==Starfleet Command== 
[[File:parasite_by_auctor_lucan-dapg5ty.png|right|50px]]The alien neural parasites that infiltrated [[Starfleet Command]] in the year 2364 never did so in Star Trek: Theurgy canon (TNG, Episode 1x25 "Conspiracy"). Instead, the enigmatic aliens in the Theurgy timeline did, but at a later time. The nature of these other aliens were shrouded in mystery, but they were not so easily detected. They existed in a state of flux, and affected the host differently. The goals of these aliens were not fully explored, but it was evident that they were of chaotic origin.

==No Slipstream Drives== 
After the ''[[USS Voyager]]'' returned to Federation space in the year 2378, despite many attempts, neither [[Starfleet]] nor any other faction in the galaxy were able to re-create the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Quantum_slipstream_drive quantum slipstream drive] that [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Species_116 Species 116] showed to the crew of the ''[[Voyager]]''. For example, the the Vesta-class line of starships were still developed, but without quantum slipstream drives.

Furthermore, transphasic torpedoes have yet to be put in mass production, still being in early testing stages, just like transphasic shielding or transphasic compression phaser cannons. However, when the ''[[USS Calamity]]'' was sent back in time to hunt down the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' and the ''[[USS Harbinger|Harbinger]]'', the [[AC-507 Mk I Reaver]] Warp Fighters were fitted with this kind of weaponry, and the ''[[USS Calamity|Calamity]]'' had similar assets.

==Starship Development==
After [[Starfleet Command]] was overtaken by the aliens in the Theurgy universe, they began to mobilise its fleet earlier. A lot of resources were put into the fleet yards around the [[Alpha Quadrant]], and the [[Advanced Starship Design Bureau]] got everything they needed in order to launch new starships at a quicker pace. 

For example, the Theurgy Project was finished in 2378, its first prototype ship - the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' - launched thee years ahead of schedule. Also, the ''Odyssey''-class line of starships were launched in 2380, with three ships leaving the fleet yards simultaneously. These were the ''[[USS Odyssey]]'' NX-74699, under the command of Admiral [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kathryn_Janeway Janeway], the ''[[USS Entreprise]]'' NCC-1701-F - replacing the Sovreign-class NCC-1701-E, under the command of Captain [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Jean-Luc_Picard Picard] and the ''[[USS Archeron]]'' NCC-74700, under the command of Admiral [[Command_NPCs#Admiral_Sankolov|Sankolov]].

==Starfleet Aerospace Command Division==
The formation of [[Starfleet Aerospace Command]] was heavily influenced by the successful deployment of ''Peregrine''-class fighters aboard the starships serving as carriers in the fleet, which was deployed in the [[Dominion War]]. The [[Tactical CONN]] department belonged to this Division, and its officers consisted of fighter pilots with the white-collared uniform.

The year 2375 - after the conclusion of the Dominion War - the [[AC-307_Mk_II_Valkyrie#Production_History|AC-205 Mk I Valkyrie]] line of fighters were launched, followed by the [[AC-307 Mk II Valkyrie|Mk II]] and [[AC-409 Mk III Valkyrie|Mk III]] in 2376 and 2378 respectively. Besides the Valkyrie-program, a competitive Interceptor-program was also implemented, resulting in the [[AC-347 Knight-class Interceptor]] being commissioned to starbases and planetary outposts throughout the Federation in 2377. This focus on developing fighter-based crafts for Starfleet was also a shift from [[Starfleet Command]], suggesting that the alien usurpers could have been present as early as 2375, or at least some point after that.

==Political Situation==

====United Federation of Planets====
[[File:United_Federation_of_Planets_logo.png|right|150px]]The aftermath of the [[Dominion]] and [[Borg]] invasions made the Federation establish new relations with many of its former adversaries, the [[Romulan]]s in particular. 

In 2379, cooperation took place between the crew of a [[Federation]] [[Starfleet]] vessel, the ''[[USS Enterprise]]''., and [[Romulan]] forces to defeat the Praetor [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Shinzon Shinzon], whose actions would have destroyed both Earth and the [[Romulan Star Empire]]. It was hoped that this would mark the beginning of an end to hostility between the [[Federation]] and the [[Romulan]]s, marking the beginnings of détente with a traditional enemy of the [[Federation]].

After the death of [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Shinzon Shinzon], the initial approaches between the [[Federation]] and the [[Romulan]]s were continued and a new task force led by the ''[[USS Titan]]'' was dispatched to the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] in order to begin talks with the [[Romulan]]s. The ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' was a part of this task force, yet regrettably, the attempt failed, and the consequence was the [[Romulan Civil War]].

A human by the name [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Nanietta_Bacco Nanietta "Nan" Bacco] from the Federation Member State of Cestus III was elected Federation President in October of 2379, serving through the sundering of the Romulan Star Empire. It was unknown if the parasitic aliens that had overtaken [[Starfleet Command]] had also infiltrated the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Federation_Council Federation Council] at that point.

====Romulan Star Empire====
[[File:Romulan_Star_Empire_logo.png|150px|right]]In a failed plot to destroy the Federation, Romulan Praetor [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Shinzon Shinzon] was defeated at the Battle of the Bassen Rift, leaving Senator [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tal%27aura Tal’aura] to take the reigns as the new Praetor of the [[Romulan Star Empire]], with the support of Fleet Commander [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tomalak Tomalak]. Commander [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Donatra Donatra] of the Warbird [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/IRW_Valdore Valdore] had openly opposed the new Praetor, and began a rebellion backed by the strength of the Romulan 3rd and 5th Fleets. Additionally, the [[Reman]] people openly demanded a continent on Romulus and reparations for hundreds of years of slavery, which was denied them.

A [[Romulan]] blockade of [[Remus]] was the Praetor’s reply, as well as cutting food and medical supplies to the sister planet. Affairs within [[Romulan]] space have deteriorated quickly for the [[Federation]]; with the continued [[Reman]] upheaval and skirmishes with [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Donatra Donatra]’s opposition fleet. Open Civil War began in 2380 when [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Donatra Donatra] was able to capture and hold a number of key agricultural worlds, establishing the [[Imperial Romulan State]].

====Klingon Empire====
[[File:Klingon_Empire_logo.png|100px|right]]In 2376, a coup against Chancellor [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Martok Martok] was designed to throw the [[Klingon Empire]] into chaos and allow the two Klingons Morjod and Gothmara to become the new rulers of the Klingon people. This coup against [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Martok Martok] was ultimately unsuccessful, and Morjod and Gothmara were killed. Instead, the alliance with the [[Federation]] continued to prosper. In 2379 the two worked together in the construction of the [[Unity One]] station. The Unity base was an advanced starbase, representing the accomplishments of the alliance. As part of the design, the station's sophisticated sensor array allowed it to detect even cloaked vessels that were many sectors away.

In 2380, as the [[Romulan]] Civil War raged in full, Chancellor [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Martok Martok] accepted the [[Reman]]s as a protectorate of the [[Klingon Empire]], resulting in Klingon vessels entering [[Romulan]] space. Through the year, [[Klingon]] forces were involved in a number of skirmishes within [[Romulan]] space. After continued attacks and the failure of the [[Reman]]s to successfully settle on the Ehrei'fvil continent of [[Romulus]], the [[Klingon]]s allowed the Remans to settle on a planet within the Klingon Empire. 

Later in 2380, Chancellor [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Martok Martok] attended a conference with the [[Federation]] President and the Romulan Praetor regarding the founding of the [[Imperial Romulan State]]. Rather than denounce the new government of Commander [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Donatra Donatra], now Empress of the Imperial Romulan State, [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Martok Martok] instead gave his approval to the new state, recognizing its sovereignty.

====Cardassian Union====
[[File:Cardassian_Union_logo.png|right|100px]]Directly following the [[Dominion War]], the [[Cardassian]] Union was devastated - economically, culturally and infra-structurally. Facing immediate collapse, the occupying forces of the [[Federation]] as well as the [[Klingon]] and [[Romulan]] Empires worked to establish a new government. The decision was made to return provisional and operational management of the Union to a reformed Depata Council. The council itself was restructured to become a representative democracy working under an elected leader - the Castilian. 

Working together, these governments toiled for many years to attempt to stabilize the region. The [[Klingon]]s proved security for the outlying planets under the watchful eye of the [[Romulan]]s, whereas the [[Federation]] initiated a number of aid and cultural exchange programs, including the [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Andak_Project Andak Project] which intended to restore agricultural production to the Union. Eventually, the [[Romulan]]s withdrew their aid in the region because of the [[Romulan]] Civil War.

During the rebuilding of [[Cardassian]] society, major political parties rallied for support. The '[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Reunion_Project Reunion Project]', led under [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Alon_Ghemor Alon Ghemor], was designed to empower citizens disenfranchised with the old systems of politics which had led [[Cardassian|Cardassia]] to its current state. Promoting democracy, free speech and peace, the [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Reunion_Project Reunion Project] won the first major post-[[Dominion]] election. 

In addition, there were those unhappy with their political standing in the quadrant, and with an aim to prevent [[Federation]] ideals seeping into [[Cardassian]] society, a hard-line conservative nationalist party was formed to ensure [[Cardassian|Cardassia]] rebuilt itself to its former glory. Pejoratively created by members of the [[Cardassian]] elite, including several Guls and other officers in the [[Cardassian]] Guard, this political party was initally called 'The Directorate' but later changed it's name to 'Cardassia First' in 2380 to distance itself from other extreme nationalist groups. 

Following a loss in the first elections, some members of the Directorate were further radicalized against the [[Federation]], believing them the cause for their fall from grace. Attempting to use an old secret society designed to place key members of [[Cardassian]] familial elites into the upper echelons of government, they endeavored to gather troops and resources, determined to bring [[Cardassian|Cardassia]] back to its 'True Way' by any means necessary. The True Way openly opposed the Andak Project and using said resources tried to shut it down. Following this, the True Way formally became a paramilitary group, however the [[Cardassian]] Government considers them a terrorist organisation.
[[File:Logo_Bajorans.svg.png|right|80px]]
====The Third Republic of Bajor====
After rescinding its petition of [[Federation]] Membership during the [[Dominion War]] under the advice of Benjamin Sisko, the Third Republic of Bajor officially reopened its request in 2376 and became fully inducted on 29 September 2376. With the added resources of the [[Federation]], [[Bajoran|Bajor]] underwent a extended period of peace and prosperity.

In 2377, the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Vedek_Assembly Vedek Assembly] elected a new [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kai Kai], [http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Pralon_Onala Pralon Onala] was chosen. Choosing to distance herself from the political interference of her predecessor, Kai Pralon spoke solely to the [[Bajoran]] Government on matters of faith.

====Dominion====
[[File:dominion.png|right|100px]]At the end of the [[Dominion War]], the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Treaty_of_Bajor Treaty of Bajor] was drawn up between the [[Dominion]] and the major powers of the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. The Dominion retreated back into the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. Within their home territory, news of the major defeat spread, leading to some rebellions on subject worlds. They were quickly subdued by the Jem'Hadar.

In 2374, the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Link Great Link] learned of the apparent reappearance of the Progenitor and sent a ship to investigate. However when [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Odo Odo] and the others arrived they found the Progenitor was apparently killed by radiation of a supernova. The Great Link dissolved as its individual members gave into their grief and despair and drifted off into space. This left [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Odo Odo] and Laas running the [[Dominion]]. Over the next several years, [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Odo Odo] concentrated on running the [[Dominion]] while Laas traveled in search of other Changelings to convince them to return. Due to the structure of the [[Dominion]], in which most never even saw a Founder, the day-to-day affairs were largely unaffected. During this time, [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Odo Odo] kept the [[Dominion]] borders closed to keep the political situation stable and focused his work on transforming the Dominion into a more peaceful and democratic society. 

As of 2381, the borders to the [[Dominion]] remained closed.

====Borg====
After the transwarp network was destroyed by the ''[[USS Voyager]]'' in 2378, the Borg was never seen again anywhere near the [[Alpha Quadrant]].

==Regarding Star Trek's Expanded Universe==
In Star Trek: Theurgy, none of the events depicted in Star Trek novels, comics or games will occur. Yet as the above texts may already suggest, some elements from the Expanded Universe may be implemented as befitting the story. Whether or not something is included in the Star Trek: Theurgy reality is decided by the GM.
