Several ships of the various Rochester classes have to be placed under range restrictions or outright sailing bans, due to the stresses previously placed upon their warp nacelles. Most do not operate in deep space any longer, and several operate collectively in key star systems as (still-commissioned) training ships.^[1]

Year is conjecture, but it is more than a decade following re-activation.

The second vessel of the Ahaw Kin reconnaissance corvette subclass (of Ariadne patrol corvette) enters service.^[4]

The year of production is mostly conjecture.

Select vessels of the Ariadne class (and its subclasses) start receiving transporter upgrades.^[4]

Deliberately mercantile transports are intended to be be built and fitted with the LN-23 early linear warp engine this year, but the proposal is shelved due to severe issues with the engines.^[5]

USS Woden (NCC-G325, Wanda class) is destroyed in a friendly fire incident.^[6]

The last of the Richter class cruisers and Heston class battle cruisers are decommissioned.^[7]

The most devastating and public loss of an Icarus class ship was that of USS Golden Hind (NCC-1142), which misjudged a warp approach and slammed into Devon, blasting a huge crater in the landscape and killing thousands by direct and secondary shockwave and radiation effects.^[8]

Following the Golden Hind tragedy, Starfleet orders the idling of all ships equipped with the PB-27 nacelle; recall orders were issued across the operating theater.^[8]

Prior to this year, there are no recorded attacks by Romulans on cargo runs, since the war.^[9]

The first of the Rochester sub-class cruisers start withdrawing from service; the Kitty Hawk sub-class starts to follow thereafter (year unknown).^[1]

Later: USS Wotan (NX-1390), the defensive monitor test-bed vessel, is decommissioned.^[10]

Conjecture.

Later: Half of the remaining Kearsarge sub-class light cruisers are ordered to a modified 'reserve' status (in practice, the ships were merely idled in a manner similar to the dreadnoughts and HQ ships).^[10]
