Historical Events

  • USS Sheridan (NCC-4463, Larson destroyer) is lost with all but three hands on her maiden voyage due to a power system explosion that could not be contained.[1]
The loss was not dated (in the original text), but had to have occurred prior to the crash of Cromwell, a later ship, in the same year.
  • The Memory Alpha planetoid is selected—as an event during the Centennial Survey—as the archive of the UFP's cultural and scientific knowledge. The eight-year development of the project begins.[2]
  • The plight of Uzor becomes apparent to the people of Boliax: it will be uninhabitable in less than a decade as solar instability threatens to wipe out the entire Uzor system.[3] [4]
The date of this awareness is SFC-canon.
  • USS Skagerrak (NCC-G504, Bering class) is lost to "therspace" after rescuing a Tellarite crew.[5]
  • After final funding for the last 26 vessels of the Larson class destroyers is procured, destroyer funds are redirected to experiments intended to address the inherent shortcomings of the single-nacelled configuration of the Syracuse family class.[6]
  • The Pershing subclass (of the Sherman class) cargo drone enters service with Star Fleet.[7]
  • USS Virgo (NCC-1572, Taurus cruiser) is lost to unknown causes while scouting in the direction of Zeta Persei.[8]
  • Having completed a multi-year refit, USS Byrd (first of her class) launches on her second galactic survey, a 13-year voyage.[9]
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 Constitution class heavy cruisers start receiving transporter upgrades.[10]
This occurred after 2260.
  • The crew of USS Cromwell (NCC-4477, Larson destroyer) takes refuge on Delta Canaris VI after her nacelle is ripped off and life support compromised by a relativistic-speed meteoroid cloud.[1]
  • Construction of the Mk VI Larson class destroyer begins.[1]
  • The first conversion of a Mk II Larson class destroyer to Mk VI begins.[1]
  • The third (of three) attempt at further production of the Larson class destroyer is deferred.[1]
Presumably this refers to an expansion of contracts for the present new-builds.
  • USS Pompey (NCC-506) is the first of three Siva Flight II subclass vessels to receive a second nacelle, initiating the Pompey subclass.[6]
  • The final Flight I Loknar class frigate is upgraded to Flight IA standard.[11]
  • Some older Aakenn subclass heavy transports are relegated to Star Fleet training duty.[12]
  • Six Westminster subclass heavy transports are transferred from the SMM to Star Fleet and begin modification into Abbott subclass heavy repair ships begun.[12]
  • Eight of the Coventry class strike frigates enter a yard period where they receive auxiliary deflector spires.[13]
  • The final Sulek class prospector is produced.[15]
  • The Velikovski class prospector, an improved Sulek subclass, enters service with prospectors subsidized by the Resources Division.[15]
  • Star Fleet acquires a limited number of Questor class runabouts for an evaluation period.[16]
  • The vessel selected for the "high" track of the Prospecting And Reconnaissance Integrated Scoutship (PARIS) project was put into production.[17]
  • The civilian Karekh class prospector enters production.[19]
  • The Epsilon proposal for an updated cutter class is accepted.[20]
  • A Star Fleet veterans' organization founds the Karagite Order of Heroism, to recognize the "[d]emonstration of exceptional valor & heroism in the defense of the Federation worlds and people during times of conflict".[4]
  • This is the final year in which persistent monetary-based cross-border commerce conducted between Federation frontier colonies and the Klingon Empire accounts for 40% of export revenue for mining colonies.[22]
This was first achieved in 2259.
  • August 12: During the centenary Federation Day in Paris, hundreds of citizens celebrate Suliban culture at a party outside the Suliban mission, signaling their acceptance into the "Federation Family".[23]
Future chief operations officer of the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Laadam, is one of these rescued refugees.
  • Early: USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) begins the first round of experimental modifications in an exploration of cruiser-carrier concepts.[9]
  • March: The Raktajino Revolution is crushed by a reinvigorated Imperial Navy enjoying the suborned support of the Great Houses.[25]
  • October 18th: The Klingon Empire begins using gravitic mines to shut down trade lanes, catching several Star Fleet and merchant vessels unawares.[28]
  • Post-October 18th: Following the deployment of Klingon gravitic mines, the USS John Adams utilizes the Vota Star Cluster as a proving ground to test fusion-based minesweeping techniques.[30]
The UFP and Klingon Empire both deploy starships to the region to ensure "their" side does not face intervention.

Characters

  • Agatha Drake is assigned as Commanding Officer, Galactic South West Command.[32]
