Historical Events

  • The period of the great offensive towards the heartspace of Earth and its allies by Romulan forces evolves into a war of attrition as Earth and her allies begin offensive maneuvers.[1]
  • One UESF battle group, consisting of the elderly Earthships Halsey, Gorshkov and Yamamoto (all Messier class) and their escort destroyers and frigates, almost accidentally managed to locate a Romulan fleet stocking point at a distant unnamed star system in the Triangulum Australe region (in the Sierra sector). Wreaking havoc on dozens of dormant Romulan ships, the cruisers managed to halt the Romulan offensive before it reached the fringes of Earth colonization zones or the worlds of its neighbors and possible future allies. However, the self-destruction of the Romulan base crippled many of the vessels. Later, the battle group was attacked several times, and only USS Gorshkov managed to limp home, along with one frigate. The war was far from being over. A bitter point had been learned: the Romulans would acknowledge no other form of combat than a fight to death, be it as individuals or as a species.[1][2][3]
  • Ganges class destroyers are mainly used as perimeter guards for offensive battle fleets.[4]
It is assumed that this occurred in this year, as the class was pulled back to planetary defense the year prior.
  • The series of refits for the Cavalry class light destroyer, where transporter systems are first installed, ends.[5]
  • The Poseidon class heavy cruiser enters service with the UESF.[6]
  • The UESF begins production of three Victory class battlecruisers, two at Mars and one at Kaleb.[7]
Conjecture, but needs enough time for prototype to be completed by 2162.
  • The Strider class courier/scout enters service with the UESF.[8]
  • The Andorians re-enter the Romulan War, providing Thofsin class cruisers to operate alongside Earth and Tellarite ships.[9]
  • The lack of clear Romulan targets to strike is a cause of "desperation" for the UESF.[10]
  • The final unmodified Durance class transport receives a weapons upgrade, for wartime defensive purposes.[11]
The year of completion is supposition.
  • April 17: Romulan light units blow up the orbital Spaceport Vega and retreated before the local Clarks have a chance to concentrate their fire.[12] The USS Sapporo (Athens class) is destroyed in the attack.[13]
The date of the loss of Sapporo is presumed to occur in the same attack that saw the loss of the shipyard.
  • May 21: Two Romulan cruisers are immobilized and prompted to self-destruct, a third destroyed outright, and the invasion of Vega is averted, with the loss of four Clark class 'space tanks'.[12]
  • August: The design plans of a lower-tier Daedalus-type scout is completed.[10]
Between now and the end of March 2160, 2 spaceframes (and sixteen lives) are lost and 10 ships are built.
  • September: The decision is made to resume space tank production.[14]
  • November: The first three Bradley class 'space tanks' are mostly assembled.[14]
