Historical Events

  • January 1st: Kenneth Wescott assumes the Presidency of the United Federation of Planets.[1]
He is the first to be elected by general election.
  • The final Archon class heavy cruiser is stricken from Star Fleet's registry.[2]
  • The USS Suleiman (NCC-508) and USS Sargon (NCC-504) complete their Pompey subclass modifications.[3]
  • The Einstein subclass destroyer leaders begin receiving a refit.[3]
  • The final Pershing cargo drone enters service.[4]
  • The Richter class cruisers and Heston class battle cruisers enter an upgrade period, to include new transporter systems.[5]
  • Having completed a multi-year refit, USS Read (Byrd galactic survey cruiser) launches on her second galactic survey, a 13-year voyage.[6]
Presumption, based on that each of the three ships completed 2 surveys, and the Smith was the last to return from her own 13-year voyage.
  • The final Majestic subclass heavy escort is decommissioned.[7]
  • Heavy cruiser USS Victory (NCC-1760) begins construction.[9]
  • USS Cromwell (NCC-4477, Larson destroyer) returns to service after successful recovery and repairs.[10]
  • A five-ship expedition is lost in contested space near Romulan territory; only the severed warp nacelle of USS Alesia (NCC-4454, Larson destroyer) remains to tell of its demise.[10]
  • The final produced and converted Mk VI Larson class destroyers are completed.[10]
  • The three ships of the Einstein subclass complete their refit periods, assuming Flight II configurations.[3]
  • The final Westminster subclass heavy transport is completed.[11]
  • Construction is completed on the final Hopi class large survey cruiser.[12]
This is a contentious move, as the Federation Council was intentionally not consulted because the five permanent members held the source of zenite too important to depend on a general vote.
  • The Cle Dan class fast repair tender enters service with Star Fleet.[15]
  • The remaining Portsmith and Bedford escorts are decommissioned from Star Fleet service; the final Portsmith is converted back to a Fleet support vessel.[16]
  • The Reval subclass light scoutcraft enters service with Star Fleet.[18]
  • USS Marlin (Remora class escort) protects assigned merchantmen against five Elasi pirate marauders.[19]
  • The Tycho fightercraft replaced the gunship version of the Benares hopper in Star Fleet service.[20]
  • Star Fleet decides to procure a total of 149 Questor class runabouts for outpost liaison missions, administrative outposts of the colonization zone, and a number of embassies and consulates on non-Federation worlds.[21]
  • The Tycho light sublight fightercraft begins active starship operations.[22]
  • The first Epsilon class cutters enter Federation government service.[23]
  • The Type 8 shuttlepod enters production.[24]
  • Panastris decides to build a warp 5 courier, in order to make use of the new PB-60 nacelle.[25]
  • Early: The Orion cartels are provoked by the Atlanta operation and attack the dilithium-rich world of Ghioghe. USS Levant (NCC-1442, Baton Rouge heavy cruiser), commanded by Commodore Sieren, and light cruiser USS Sutherland (NCC-1010, Texas Flight II), commanded by Commander James Kirk, are both lost in the Battle of Ghioghe.[27]
The loss of the Sutherland happened in early 2263, according to the TOS novel Enterprise: The First Adventure.
Commodore Sieren was posthumously cleared of charges for the losses, and—by default—so was CDR Kirk.
Timo's Guide (and game-canon) does not include "Lydia" as part of the ship's assigned name.
  • January 13: the final Cochrane class colonizer is constructed.[28]
  • Mid: USS Smith (Byrd galactic survey cruiser) begins the third round of experimental modifications in an exploration of cruiser-carrier concepts.[6]
  • Mid: The first two Star Fleet-variants of the Achernar class heavy cruisers enter service.[31]
  • Late: USS Star League (NCC-2101, Federation dreadnought) is recalled from Alpha Cygni Sector defense duty to pacify the Klingon-Orion front in the aftermath of the Ghioghe incident.[32]
  • Late: The Denebians begin constructing two large starships, in concert with Star Fleet.[32]
Starts after the departure of USS Star League.
  • End of: The UFP recognizes Orion sovereignty and neutrality on issues that had formerly been considered criminal activity.[27]
The year is presumed, but can fall in the year of the Battle of Ghioghe.

Characters

  • October: Zym is released from prison and made the Chief Secretary of the Imperial Treasury.[37]
