Historical Events

• Texas class light cruiser USS Oklahoma (NCC-945) engages marauders intent on pillaging the settlements on Agnihotra.

• The evacuation of 10 million inhabitants of Bayard’s Planet is completed.

The year of the completed evacuation is speculation.

• USS Carrington (NH-205), Bryne class hospital ship, is re-retired.

• Ten hulls of the Essex battle cruiser subclass (of the Horizon class) are ordered.

• Ten hulls of the Archon heavy cruiser subclass (of the Horizon class) are ordered.

• Paradise planet Hydra II in sector 16C is discovered by USS Poseidon (NCC-780, Mann light cruiser).

• USS Valkyr (NCC-442) completes her hasty construction and is commissioned.

• The Valkyr class shuttlecarrier enters service with Star Fleet.

• The Burke class patrol ship contract goes to Geering.

• A contract is signed with Geering to build 25 Baton Rouge class cruisers, with an option for 25 more.

• Construction starts on the USS Baton Rouge.

• Prototype USS Robinson (NCC-3800) is structurally completed but suffering from systems integration problems and is nowhere near operational testing status.

• The Hunter class corvette enters service with Star Fleet.

• VXT Interstellar begins production of the Hubble class runabout.

• USS Constellation (NCC-1017, Advance battle cruiser) suffers major battle damage to her bow structures.

• The Caitians have first contact with the Orions, then the Ferengi and UFP shortly thereafter.

The original date of 2249 (in Memory Beta) conflicts with other issues, so it has been pushed back.

• The Second Orion Police Action concludes.

• Early: USS Enderbury (NCC-480, Kovaris phase gun destroyer) is effectively destroyed when a defective pulse wave warhead (Vulcan technology) detonates right after leaving the launcher. The explosion rips open the pressure hull of the destroyer and kills most of the test crew immediately; radiation takes a further death toll.

New Technology

• New Maximum Shield Protection Level
