Background information 
 The "Lost Era" concept was developed by Pocket editor Marco Palmieri, who defined it as the period of history between the apparent death of James T. Kirk aboard the Enterprise-B in 2293 and the launch of the Enterprise-D in 2363. (The Star Trek: Terok Nor miniseries extend past that point, to just prior to the events of  in 2369.)
 In looking back over the initial six-novel series, Palmieri considered that his only regrets were "that there was less thematic variety among the stories than I was hoping for.", noting that "most of the things that had been established about those years were military in nature – wars, battles, etc. We knew far less about discoveries, first contacts, scientific breakthroughs, etc." Although the final novels all ultimately featured some form of conflict – which led Palmieri to muse in retrospect whether he should have pushed back further – he still considered them to be "a strong set of novels with some really outstanding storytelling". ()
 A planned but unreleased novel would have featured Sisko on the  during the Tzenkethi War in the 2360s.
