22nd century

Summary

• The Vulcan star empire has transitioned from a power projection policy, to one that is more standoffish and reactionary.

• The UESN's (and very shortly, the UESF's) attempts to cope with the expansion of colonized space is problematic.

• Until mid-century: A state of hostility continues and concludes between the Andorian Empire and the Confederacy of Vulcan, with numerous hot and cold wars.

• Early: The UESF and UESPA explorations are generally limited to 20 lightyears from Earth.

• Early: In the range of 50 to 60 lightyears from Earth, piracy is at its strongest.

• Early: The ranges associated with exploration vessels results in support vessels being left behind, unable to assist.

• Second Half: Carrier warfare (now spatial) re-develops, with the construction of dedicated warp-capable motherships for fightercraft.

• Last Quarter: Military engagements are rare.

• Last Quarter: Exploratory cruises are generally multi-ship endeavors: one light cruiser, two auxiliary cruisers, a logistics support vessel and sometimes a scoutship.

• End: Star Fleet is deeply committed to the starship development path of high quality and low quantity.

• End: Increasing capabilities of the transporter are eating away the resupply role of shuttlecraft, and improved sensors reduce the need for in situ survey shuttles.
