In the new Star Trek movie, Nero goes back in time from 2387 and creates an alternative timeline. Although the new Star Trek movie starts with the destruction of the USS Kelvin in 2233, the events described in the memories of both Spock and Nero are from 2387 or eight years after Star Trek Nemesis.

The 10th Trek film takes place in the year 2379. įor the purposes of the Star Trek canon, the new Star Trek movie could probably best be classified as a sequel to Star Trek Nemesis. A new page and graphic on the Star Trek Online MMORPG official site gives a pretty good explanation. Some have wondered how the new film fits in with the Trek universe, and what affect it has on the extended universe.

The film is not a traditional prequel like Star Wars Episode III, nor is it a traditional ‘canon reboot’ like Batman Begins. The new Star Trek movie is not easy to classify.
