In the Star Trek franchise, the books The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh ( Volumes 1 & 2 ), by Greg Cox, detail the fictional Eugenics Wars of the early 1990s – still many years into the future when first mentioned in the episode " Space Seed " in 1967 – giving alternative explanations for real world events such as the Indian nuclear test of 1974 and the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, presenting them as small parts of a single wider conflict.

Steven Barnes's novelization of " Far Beyond the Stars " partners with Greg Cox's The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh ( Volume Two ) to tell us that the story " Far Beyond the Stars " — and, by extension, all of Star Trek itself — is the creation of 1950s writer Benny Russell.

Secret history is sometimes used in a long-running science fiction or fantasy universe to preserve continuity with the present by reconciling paranormal, anachronistic, or otherwise notable but unrecorded events with what actually happened in known history ; for instance, in the Star Trek universe, Greg Cox's novels The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh cast the devastating Eugenics Wars of the 1990s ( still well into the future when first mentioned in an episode from 1967 ) as shadow wars most people never knew about, in which such real-life events from that era as the Smiling Buddha nuclear test, the Yugoslav Wars, and the 1992 Los Angeles riots were all part of one wider conflict.
