Historical Events

  • Boliax develops and initiates an assistance plan for the Uzorians: mass colonization of a nearby planet for the refugees.[1][2][3]
The date of this plan is SFC-canon.
The 2262 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the second of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s.
  • All Pytheas subclass exploratory cruisers and some Ranger subclass light cruisers receive an upgrade.[5]
  • USS Atlanta (NCC-1440, Baton Rouge heavy cruiser) fights Orion forces in a completely successful mission of apprehending suspected, as well as known and convicted, pirates with zero casualties.[6]
  • During Exercise Have Gun, USS Azrael (NCC-527, Siva Flight II destroyer) suffers a major atmospheric leak and loses 12 crew when she drifts too close to the black star TNC 65823; the vessel—while disoriented—collides with the shields of the dreadnought USS Dominion (NCC-2115, Federation dreadnought).[7]
  • The Icarus and Ashanti class battle cruisers and Apache class heavy destroyers complete the refit period begun in 2259.[8]
  • Eight mothballed Texas class light cruisers are converted and recommissioned as Negrev subclass mine sweepers.[9]
  • Remaining original-type Nelson class scouts are converted to the Sager subclass.[10]
  • The two Moisanen subclass scouts are re-converted to the Sager subclass.[10]
  • The last Hubble class runabouts are decommissioned (and sold in the civilian market).[11]
  • The last HSI(U)-1B "Bowditch" survey cutter (variant of the old Class G1 heavy warp shuttle) is removed from service with Star Fleet.[12]
  • The three ships of the Einstein subclass enter the yards for refit periods.[7]
  • The conversions of the Abbott subclass heavy repair ships are completed, and the ships begin supporting cruiser operations in deep space.[13]
  • The first set of Grayson class buoy tenders are transferred to the reserves.[14]
  • The eight Coventry class strike frigates complete their auxiliary deflector spires installations.[15]
  • The first of the Thuringia class surveyors start receiving upgrades.[16]
  • The final Hephaestus subclass tender is completed.[17]
  • Resources are first allocated for cruiser-sized vessels solely for exploratory purposes.[18]
This is thru fiscal-year 2266.
  • Construction begins on the Bader class exploratory cruiser.[18]
  • The Solar Mk III cutter design is unveiled, starting the refit periods for the Mk Is, primarily developed around the PB-60 nacelle.[19][20]
  • The orbital troop transport version of the Benares hopper begins serving through several low-intensity campaigns in the restless Dilithium Belt sectors, mainly in support of peacekeeper and police forces.[21]
  • Production of the gunship version of the Benares hopper is ceased.[21]
  • Mass production of the Class F3 light shuttle allows it to be widely deployed aboard starships.[22]
  • The first production run of the Hellespont escort class is completed.[23]
  • The final Graynet class support corvette enters service with Star Fleet.[24]
  • The final Karekh class intel scout enters service with Star Fleet.[25]
  • The Tycho light sublight fightercraft enters service with Star Fleet.[26]
  • The AIG introduces a lighter and more affordable local destroyer type of a very similar design to their earlier Thufir, merging a saucer with an otherwise traditional Andorian layout.[28]
The year is randomly selected, from the years in the decade prior to the Lenthal Flight II escort being commissioned.
  • Star Fleet releases a a request for proposals for a transporter strike frigate capable of rapidly disembarking eight platoons of troops via transporter, maintaining a cruise speed of warp six, and carrying phaser and torpedo armament superior to that of the Coventry class.[29]
  • Following the 2259 facilitation of the deportation of nearly 2.2 million Suliban from its space directly into Klingon labor markets, the Tandaran Polity pivoted to the legal "veneer of diplomatic and political authority" that the Imperial Control Region membership gave it in clearing that particular diaspora from within its borders.[31]
  • Early: Construction begins on what started to be a Achernar export heavy cruiser, but becomes a Star Fleet variant instead.[32]
  • January: USS Pompey (NCC-506) begins her propulsive trials.[7]
  • January: USS Suleiman (NCC-508) and USS Sargon (NCC-504) begin their yard modifications to the Pompey subclass standard.[7]
  • January: The final Unity class command cruiser, USS Harmony (NCC-2119), is completed.[34]
  • January: A Klingon advisor is captured and subsequently lynched by a pro-SRC mob, confirming Klingon involvement on the planet.[35]
  • February 28: The six cruisers are handed over.[35]
  • March: The Klingon Empire covertly smuggles heavy artillery, aircraft, and three companies of Imperial Marine Infantry onto Acamar.[35]
  • April 15: On Acamar, the BGU launches a massive offensive; the SRC’s regular army is shattered by the Imperial Marines.[35]
  • April 26: The SRC Ruling Council flees the Acamarian capital, declaring it an open city.[35]
  • April 29: Federation Ambassador T'Sov and her staff evacuate the planet.[35]
  • May 12 (approx.): Operation Barbary Coast is a tactical disaster: USS Totalize is lost with all hands, and USS Lightfoot is captured.[35]
  • Early July: Long-range scans by the USS Marco Polo and scans from the USS Hengist and USS Horsa reveal long-range interspatial missiles (LRIMs)—specifically Klingon Kash-Ro missiles—deployed on Acamar.[35]
  • July 6: USS Constellation intercepts the USS Basra, discovering the illicit weapons.[35]
  • Late July: A Klingon task force under General Kesh masses near the blockade but is hampered by critical fuel leaks and supply shortages.[35]
  • August 8th: The Klingon Empire orders its forces to set "Period Preparatory to a General War".[36]
  • August 14th: Six Klingon D7 warships attempting to approach and land troops on Acamar are turned away by three Star Fleet starships.[36]
  • Late: USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) begins the second round of experimental modifications in an exploration of cruiser-carrier concepts.[38]
  • October 10th: The Klingon-backed government on Acamar is toppled in a popular revolution.[36]
  • End: The last Hopi class large survey cruiser is completed.[40]
"All ten vessels were operational by 2263...": interpreting this as the final ship was completed late in this year (2262).

Characters

  • Kor is promoted to Commander (Superior) of IKS Ma'Kiag.[46]
This continues until October 2263.
