2265

Historical Events

• By: The Type 10 ("Workbee") work pod, on production version 240 and because of the variety of modular tools available to it, is capable of completing virtually of the tasks of preceding models.

• By: After over two decades of service, the Locknars are still considered capable warships.

• The SS Valiant's recorder-marker is recovered and the fate of the missing vessel is realized.

• The final vessel of the second production run of the Allowat Sakima subclass (of the Ariadne) patrol corvette is completed.

The years of production are mostly conjecture.

• Star Fleet orders the decommissioning of the Baton Rouge heavy cruiser and Nordenskiöld light cruisers. (Only 2 Nordenskiölds are immediately struck by this order.)

The decommissions would spread out and continue until completion in 2277.

• USS Antares (NCC-F501, Sherman light transport) is destroyed by the metahuman powers of a young crash survivor.

• One of the two mothballed, incomplete Amchitka light cruiser hulls, the pre-Wotan, is converted into a proof-of-concept testbed (NX-1390) for a ‘defensive monitor’ class.

• USS Napoleon (NX-1384) is commissioned as a prototype cruiser-carrier.

The concept would be canceled, as a result of testing of the prototype.

• USS Smith (Byrd galactic survey cruiser) launches on her second galactic survey voyage.

• The final Victory subclass heavy cruiser (USS Rivoli, NCC-1765) is completed.

The Rivoli as the named ship is game-canon.

• Star Fleet adopts a new uniform.

• The Surya subclass heavy frigates begin receiving upgrades.

• USS Bombay (NCC-1838, Miranda heavy frigate) is lost on a deep-space supply assignment to Ravanar IV.

• The original set of Grayson class buoy tenders sent to the reserves are now mothballed.

• The first set of Finch subclass buoy tenders are transferred to the reserves.

• The Coventry class strike frigates and the Benning subclass heavy frigates receive a weapons upgrade.

• Hopi large survey cruiser USS Kanesatake is damaged in an engagement with Talarians, resulting in an unidentified warp imbalance that tears the ship to pieces ten days later.

• USS Collins (NCC-1839, Soyuz survey frigate) suffers an apparent reactor failure, forcing her to abort her mission and accept personnel rescue, before her complete destruction.

• Following the earlier loss of USS Collins, the other two ships are restricted to warp 6.

• Three Klingon D10 cruisers conduct "demonstrations" as deep as Kobax; the system is later included in the Mal'Kren Ultimatum, with the Empire demanding recognition of its authority over the territory.

• Okinawa light frigate USS Great Lakes (NCC-1281) is re-commissioned as USS R.L. Stevenson.

The year is arbitrarily decided.

• Star Fleet discovers a comet, just outside the system, on a trajectory for Trillius Prime.

• Star Fleet’s commitment to the exploratory mission begins to wane.

Lack of interest is still "beginning" into the next year (2266).

• Construction of the first flight of Bader class exploratory cruisers concludes. All vessels—in service and under assembly—start being upgraded as Flights II.

• USS Sphinx (NCC-D853, Centaurus class) is sabotaged by unidentified foreign operatives; her entire crew is killed, due to life support shutdown.

• Star Fleet starts decommissioning Mk VI Solar class cutters, as the more capable Epsilons are delivered.

• Production of the orbital troop transport version of the Benares hopper ceases.

• Philanthropist Carter Winston dies of injuries sustained from a previous crash on Vendor.

• The final Questor class runabout is delivered to Star Fleet.

• Star Fleet begins withdrawing the Benares class hopper from ships.

This will be completed in 2269.

• The population of Ingraham B is wiped out by the mass insanity of the blastoneuron parasites.

• The Class C2A aquashuttle, to be circulated between various outposts and starships, goes into production (and operation).

• The Class C2B aquashuttle, to be assigned to research outposts circling waterworlds, goes into production (and operation).

• Star Fleet begins acquiring the Vulcan Tai warp sled, with Manasu standard and Atai heavy shuttlepods.

• Starbase 47 is commissioned.

• Following SB 47's commissioning: The Klingon High Council deliberates over attacking Starbase 47; instead Chancellor Sturka orders an investigation into the reasons behind the Federation's expansion into the Taurus Reach.

• Andorian flag officers from both Star Fleet and the Blue Fleet advocate for a new destroyer design.

• The Klingon Ministry of Internal Security systematically dismantles N'Garriez's intelligence network.

• Early: Two dreadnoughts of indigenous construct and design are nearing completion at Deneb Alpha V.

• January: The Klingons complete a military base at Mastocal.

This base is located very close to Federation space, in an area of Klingon territory secured as a result of the 2257 Armistice.

• April: An investigation reveals evidence that the United Planets of Tellar is financially backing the central authority on Altair VI, in violation of the Prime Directive.

• April 9th: In the Mastocal Incident, Federation starships investigating Mastocal are driven off by a Klingon battlegroup.

• Mid: "Defenders" USS Deneb (NCC-2002) and USS Inaieu (NCC-2003) are commissioned, with Star Fleet admirals Fitzpatrick and Sha’av in attendance. The ships operate under local defense force control, ceding to Star Fleet authority in fleet actions.

• June 29th: The Klingon Empire issues the Mal'Kren Ultimatum (also known as the Kin'Satatay'kar Declaration). T'Vam is specifically listed as one of the systems from which the Empire demands the immediate removal of all Federation colonists.

• November: Star Fleet first encounters the First Federation.

• November 11th: Federation-Klingon talks commence on Rigel IV.

• Following November 11th: Klingon ships end a series of frequent raids into UFP territory.

• Following November 11th: The period of time that began in 2246, with very little direct, coordinated military action against Klingon forces, ends.* Late: The final Bonhomme Richard Type 2 heavy cruiser (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701) undergoes conversion to the Constitution Flight III configuration.

• Late: The final Flight I variant of Epsilon class cutter is assembled.
