Eventually, motivated by the new interstellar reality beginning with the first contact, by the early 2100s – less than two generations of the post-atomic horror – humanity was finally able to eliminate most if not all poverty, disease, war and hunger. Along with it a lot of other things disappeared from humanity, including hopelessness, despair, and cruelty. (TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II" ; Star Trek: First Contact; ENT: "Broken Bow") The post-atomic horror gave way to the stirrings of new attempts at establishing various unified world alliances, including the European Hegemony in 2123. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder" ) These alliances were eventually instrumental in the establishment of the United Earth Government in 2150. (TNG: "Attached" ) By 2151 Earth's last holdouts agreed to join United E

  • While humanity had made contact with two extraterrestrial species -- the Vulcans and the Centaurians in the 2060s -- and environmental damage was being repaired with their help, there were many areas of the planet that were reduced to anarchy and barbarism. The renewed depredations of this period -- which, in later centuries, would be referred to as a new "Dark Ages" -- helped motivate many to pursue extrasolar colonization efforts. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Heritage", "Esteban")
  • The Post-Atomic Horror was a period in Earth history following the end of World War III in 2053, and running through the following decades. This period was marked by a breakdown in civil society and government and the denial of rights to alleged criminals. This period lasted at least through 2079, a year depicted by Q when he put Captain Jean-Luc Picard on trial for humanity's savagery. (TNG episode: "Encounter at Farpoint") New Orleans was affected by the Post-Atomic Horror. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Rough Beasts of Empire)

In 2364, Q showed the crew of the USS Enterprise-D a barbaric court of the year 2079, complete with drugged soldiers, a crowd of rag-tag mutants and harsh judges handing down summary executions. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint" ) Q returned Captain Picard to the court seven years later after the Q Continuum again tested Humanity with the threat of complete annihilation from an anti-time eruption.

  • The Post-Atomic Horror was a period in Earth history following the end of World War III in 2053, and running through the following decades. This period was marked by a breakdown in civil society and government and the denial of rights to alleged criminals.

(TNG episode: "Encounter at Farpoint") New Orleans was affected by the Post-Atomic Horror. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Rough Beasts of Empire) Earth had emerged from this period by the early 22nd century, thanks to the assistance of the Vulcans, who made first contact with humanity during this period, in 2063. (TNG movie: Star Trek: First Contact; Star Trek: Myriad Universes novel: A Less Perfect Union) It was believed by some latter era historians that the Post-Atomic Horror helped breed a more enlightened humanity, and was necessary for their eventual development into a responsible species. (TOS novel: Captain's Peril) The novel The Iron Feather takes place during the Post-Atomic Horror. (TNG novelization: All Good Things...)
