Not quite. Kirk says in TWOK that he hasn't seen Khan in 15 years. That means it
is 15 years between the first season of the *tv show* and TWOK. Since we don't
know how long the *Enterprise* had been around before the first season (remember
her first Captain was Pike, so the ship might have been on a "five-year mission"
before Kirk ever got ahold of her. Twenty years old seems right to me.

I can just hear the dialogue now...

Kirk: "Tell, you what, JhoeBloe, show us how to operate this transporter, and I
	promise we'll kill you."

Klingon: "Ok, but no funny stuff this time!"

Well, yeah, of course it is. Anything that is licensed for publication as a STAR
TREK item, regardless of who does it, is copyrighted by Paramount Pictures. Any-
one *not* putting a copyright notice on such an item is open to a copyright in-
fringement lawsuit. That doesn't make it an "official" part of the STAR TREK
canon.
