Historical Events

  • The PB-45 nacelle is identified as a replacement for the PB-21 on the Burke series frigates.[1]
  • The first of eight Aldrin subclass deep space frigates are refit to Magellan subclass scout cruiser standards.[1]
  • Ships of both Burke and Aldrin subclass frigates receive modernization refits from Chiokis (though about 13 Burkes will not be refit before the program is canceled).[1]
  • The final Heston class battle cruiser is constructed.[3]
  • The final Apache class heavy destroyer is constructed.[4]
  • The final Miranda class heavy frigate is completed.[6]
  • NCC-1859, nominally of the Surya heavy frigate subclass, is completed.[6]
  • The Coventry class strike frigate begins production.[7]
  • Various mid-level Star Fleet admirals and staff officers issue formal warnings regarding the possibility of famines and disease outbreaks on the frontier.[11]
These are determined to have been deliberately ignored by Star Fleet's commander-in-chief and senior planners.
  • February: The "Battle of Webirty" proved the Klingons' were experiencing an increasing strategic weakness, as well as desperation.[9][13]
  • February: The "Attack on Zal Vhros" proved the Klingons' were experiencing an increasing strategic weakness, as well as desperation.[9][13]
  • By March: USS Procyon (NX-L700, prototype extended-range corvette) is ready for launching.[14]
These shipboard weapons were 40% larger than they would be when cleared for fleet-wide use in 2260.
  • With Project Procyon, a breakthrough in small vessel warp propulsion is made.[15]
  • Construction begins on the Centaurus class couriers & scouts.[15]
The first vessel had to be operational this year, but had to be after the launching of the USS Procyon herself.
  • August: Operational deployment of the Procyon class corvettes begins with USS Shaula (NCC-L702) relieving three Thunderbolt class corvettes of the system patrol of Regulus.[14]
  • USS Vela (NCC-L705) relieves two Marklin class destroyers patrolling the Regulus system, which then move out into deep space.[14]
Time is not stated, other than "soon", which is influenced by the rapid nature of the class' development and deployment.
  • Klingon intelligence mistakenly identifies Rigel V as the location of a major military command center (that must be "pacified").[9][13]
The source material—both the FASA Four Years War sourcebook & the "Surya / Coventry Class Frigate / Heavy Frigate" issue mined for this factoid—are modified for SFC to have Adhara, a fairly remote Beta quadrant location, replaced by Rigel IV, which is more of a reasonable target for the Klingons during this conflict.
  • Early September: "The Battle of Thranstor" ended with an overwhelming victory for Star Fleet: the telegraphed attack was met with a prepositioned reserve force battle group and an operational task force, marking the beginning of the end of the Imperial Klingons' ability to wage an ongoing conflict.[9][13]
