Historical Events

• Early: Construction starts on USS Pyotr Velikiy (NX-1670) at the Salazaar yards above Andor.

Warp speed flight testing began less than 2 years after development began.

• The Texas class light cruisers USS Takla Makan (NCC-904), USS Sonora (NCC-907) and USS Taimyr (NCC-920) complete their overhaul periods and re-enter service as frontline replenishment tankers.

• The Texas class light cruiser Labrador (NCC-916) completes her overhaul period to receive a ventrally-carried subspace antenna for long range tactical scans.

The dates and length of the overhaul period are presumptions, based on the same period and length of the other Texas ships undergoing overhauls.

• Amar is annexed by the Klingons.

• The Aldebaran system is considered to be the Klingon Empire's next target, following the annexation of Amar.

• Altair VI, Izar, Melev, and numerous fringe worlds, begin discussions of forming non-Federation ‘defense zones’ inside the Federation.

The year is a best guess, as it occurred after the annexations of Archanis, Cursa and Donatu but prior to the Babel Conference of 2238.

• The last of the Burke and Aldrin subclass frigates receive a weapons system upgrade.

• The final Wanda subclass cargo drone (of the Sherman class) is delivered to the Star Fleet Merchant Marine.

• The final Class D3 work pod is removed from service with Star Fleet.

• The Class B8 / HSA(P/C)-25 / Type 25 / C37C "Rhino" heavy atmospheric/spatial shuttle enters service with Star Fleet.

• Construction of the USS Cochrane begins.

• The Hubble runabout represents the cutting edge in light craft propulsion.
