'''The Burn''' was an event that occurred sometime between the [[31st century|3060s and the 3080s]] during which most of the [[dilithium]] mysteriously exploded. This caused the {{Federation}} to collapse. According to [[Cleveland Booker]], "''The Burn was the day [[Milky Way Galaxy|the galaxy]] took a hard left. Dilithium. One day, most of it just went boom... a lot of people died. The Federation couldn't say for sure what happened or why, or that it wouldn't happen again.''" ({{DIS|That Hope Is You, Part 1}})
