Geordi La Forge’s Complete Star Trek Timeline Explained

Geordi In Star Trek: TNG’s 4 Movies (2371-2379)

Geordi Played A Role In All 4 TNG Movies

In Star Trek Generations, set in 2371, Dr. Tolian Soran (Malcolm McDowell) kidnapped Geordi and hid a spying device in his VISOR. The Klingons used this spy device to learn the USS Enterprise-D's shield frequency, allowing them to bypass the ship's shields. Although the Enterprise crew managed to destroy the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, a coolant leak led to a warp core breach which ultimately destroyed the Enterprise-D. La Forge then transferred with the rest of the senior staff to the Sovereign Class USS Enterprise-E in 2372.

In 2373, La Forge traveled back in time with the USS Enterprise-E in Star Trek: First Contact, following a Borg sphere back to 2063. Geordi then beamed down to Earth to help Zefram Cochrane repair his ship, the Phoenix, and complete Earth's first successful warp flight. Two years later, in Star Trek: Insurrection, La Forge accompanied the Enterprise to Ba'ku, where he temporarily gained natural sight due to the unique properties of the planet. Geordi then helped activate B-4 (Brent Spiner) in Star Trek: Nemesis and later helped Data save Picard, an act of self-sacrifice that resulted in Data's death.

Geordi’s Life After Star Trek: TNG (2379-2401)

Geordi Climbed Quickly Through Starfleet's Ranks After TNG

Sometime after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, Geordi La Forge married his as-yet-unknown wife and fathered two daughters: Sidney (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) and Alandra (Mica Burton). At some point, La Forge left the Enterprise to oversee the construction of the Romulan rescue fleet at the Utopia Planitia Ship Yards on Mars. The Romulan sun went supernova in 2387, destroying Romulus and many of the surrounding planets.

In the years leading up to the supernova, Admiral Picard led a massive effort to relocate as many Romulans as possible before their planet was destroyed. Geordi helped by coordinating the construction of ships, presumably until the Attack on Mars in 2385 put a stop to the rescue efforts. Rogue synthetics attacked Mars on First Contact Day when only a skeleton crew was present. La Forge was presumably not on Mars when the synths turned on Starfleet.

Geordi Reunited With His Old Crew In Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Geordi La Forge made his triumphant return to Star Trek in Star Trek: Picard season 3, joining the rest of the original Enterprise-D crew. Now a Commodore and Head Curator at the Fleet Museum on Athan Prime, Geordi gets pulled into helping Admiral Picard thanks to his daughters. Geordi soon reveals that he has spent the last twenty years painstakingly rebuilding and restoring the USS Enterprise-D to its former glory. Geordi's foresight ends up saving the day, as the Enterprise-D is the only ship unaffected by the Borg/Changeling plot to destroy Starfleet.

La Forge helps Data take control of the Daystrom Android M-5-10 and finally reunites with his best friend. Data and Geordi then prove vital in the mission to thwart the Borg/Changeling plot, as Geordi commands the Enterprise-D while Data expertly pilots it through an intricate Borg cube to rescue their friends. La Forge ensures that the Enterprise-D will have a place of honor at the Fleet Museum and later joins his friends for a game of poker. With his passion for engineering and his good-natured personality, Geordi La Forge remains one of Star Trek: The Next Generation's most beloved characters, as well as a brilliant engineer.
