2290s
Summary
- Over 100 buoy tenders are active.[1]
- Continuing Okinawa light frigate operations in this decade is an unexpected bonus.[2]
- The remaining ground-based Benares-type hoppers serve on their last battlefields.[3]
- Direct deployment of hoppers to battlefields is deemed too risky in the threat environment already, with increasing medium range phaser activity.[3]
- Laadam, a Suliban refugee rescued in 2261, becomes the first civilian Chief Operations Officer of the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.[4]
- Early: The Thufir destroyers and Lenthal escorts start giving way to increasing numbers of newer frigate types.[5]
- Late: Modern heavy towing assets begin to glide out of construction docks.[6]
- Late: There is a constant demand for the Kethkins.[6]
Years
Events

- Star Fleet dares (again) to field lightly armed deep space surveyors.[9]
- Darwin light surveyors complete a thorough core space resource mapping, ending Star Fleet’s need for light prospecting vehicles.[10]
- Early decade: The Valkyr and Titan sub-class shuttlecarriers are ordered scrapped; only Hypsipyle (NCC-444) of Valkyr class and the Hamilton (NCC-452) of Titan class are left, as orbital storage facilities at the Qualor II fleet depot.[11]
- Early decade: The remaining Flagstaff sub-class scout drones are upgraded with onboard astrophysics expert AIs and modern subspace sensors.[12]
