2159
- The period of the great offensive towards the heartspace of Earth and its allies by Romulan forces evolves into a war of attrition, as Earth and her allies begin offensive maneuvers.
- One UESF battle group—consisting of the elderly Earthships Halsey, Gorshkov, and Yamamoto (all Messier class) and their escort destroyers and frigates—accidentally manages to locate a Romulan fleet stocking point at a distant unnamed star system in the Triangulum Australe region (in the Sierra sector). By wreaking havoc on dozens of dormant Romulan ships, the cruisers halt the Romulan offensive before it reaches the fringes of Earth colonization zones or the worlds of its neighbors and possible future allies. However, the self-destruction of the Romulan base cripples many of the Human vessels. The battle group is subsequently attacked several times and only UESS Gorshkov and one frigate are capable of limping home. The war is far from over. A bitter lesson has been learned: the Romulans will acknowledge no other form of combat than a fight to death, be it as individuals or as a species.
- The Andorians re-enter the Romulan War, providing Thofsin class cruisers to operate alongside Earth and Tellarite ships.
- The lack of clear Romulan targets to strike is a cause of “desperation” for the UESF.
- The final unmodified Durance class transport receives a weapons upgrade for wartime defensive purposes.
- Romulan light units blow up the orbital Spaceport Vega and retreat before the local Clark space tanks have a chance to concentrate their fire. The UESS Sapporo (Athens class) is destroyed in the attack.
- Two Romulan cruisers are immobilized and prompted to self-destruct, a third destroyed outright, and the invasion of Vega is averted, with the loss of four Clark class space tanks. The decision is made to resume space tank production.
