FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)


Jahn was born c.1953 on UFC 347601 III, a duplicate of Earth located hundreds of light years from the Sol system.[1] After the failed Life Prolongation Project resulted in the deaths of the planet's entire adult population, he was one of the children left behind. His lifespan was massively extended by the virus, causing him to live for centuries. He was the oldest and the de facto leader of a group of Onlies encountered by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 when it visited the planet on Stardate 2713.5, and the Star Fleet crew discovered the cure for the disease.[2][3]

Notes and References

  1. The details of the planet were significantly changed in the novelization by James Blish. In that story, the planet was 70 Ophiucus IV, an Earth colony 15 light years away and founded centuries earlier at the dawn of the age of space colonization, not a duplicate Earth as shown in the episode. Additionally, Jahn's character was merged with that of the little boy and the redheaded boy in the novelization, taking on characteristics of all three.
