Abrams' "Star Trek" Timeline Gets A Name

With "Star Trek Beyond" hitting cinemas next month and the CBS series now in the works, the producers behind the "Star Trek" franchise are now getting around to solving one pesky problem that needed to be sorted out sooner or later - continuity. Specifically it was established in J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" that the film and its subsequent sequels are part of an alternate universe that splits off from the rest of the "Star Trek" timeline - so everything that happens within them doesn't upset the continuity of the original 1960s TV series and the various spin-offs like "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Until now there's been no official designation for this splinter timeline, though the Abrams-verse is a name often bandied about.
