1973

Campaign Timeline

• NASA sends up the Skylab space station to test the realities of long-term life in space. The station’s third and final crew remains aboard for 84 days. It is a record that will be broken in a few years by the Russians with their Salyut series of space stations.

• The astronauts of Apollo 18, the last of the early manned missions to the moon, discover the first of the Slaver stasis boxes. Its existence is kept a carefully controlled secret and no mention of it is ever made in the official mission logs.

The "Prime" (i.e., game-canon campaign) timeline differs from that of the FSC history in that no credit is given to an anti-gravity belt found within, as Earth does not attain anti-gravity technology until 2076 (possibly from the Vulcans). Most likely, the Slaver box represents further (non-public) proof of the existence of alien life.
