Historical Events

• The Conestoga's reactor is shut down on Terra Nova.

• USS Sentry (NCC-1010, Advance battle cruiser) is lost in an engagement with Klingons during the refugee crisis of Gamma Demetrius (also known as Boreth). This incident leads to the development of the Prime Directive.

• The Klingons become newly belligerent, though logistically utterly unprepared for war.

• The final three vessels of the Advance class are suspended, until weaknesses unveiled with the loss of USS Sentry are addressed; the result is the Whorfin subclass. The remainder of the initial 9 Advances are completed and enter service.

• The sixth Lincoln class frigate is commissioned; four more are are nearly completed.

• The production run for the Lincoln class frigates is cut from thirty-five to the ten completed or nearing completion.

• The Lincoln class frigates are assigned to local patrol duties.

• USS Ascot (NCC-418, Trent light phase gun destroyer) is selected to receive a two-nacelle configuration with a fore & aft firing torpedo launcher, as a prototype for a combined phase gun/torpedo destroyer. However, the power to all weapons systems is not reliable enough to move forward into production. Ascot is returned to her original configuration.
