Historical Events

• USS Clara Barton (NCC-287, Castor survey cruiser) helps fight the Rigelian fever at its outbreak by providing both laboratory facilities, database services and quarantine enforcement that initially limits the plague to Rigel V.

• The final Venture class light cruiser to be constructed enters service.

• During acceptance trials, USS Scotia (NCC-1006, Horizon heavy cruiser) achieves warp 5.9 for two minutes (though it was much later realized warp 6 had actually been 'touched').

• The final ships (of the finally 13 ordered) of the Horizon heavy cruiser class are completed and enter service.

• The Armstrong subclass is re-designated as a light cruiser.

The year of re-designation is presumed to occur two years after initial delievery, based on the text, "...and was soon re-designated a general light cruiser asset instead."

• The Tritium (NCC-X1000) construction is completed and trials of the three-nacelle lobe fields begin.

• The upgrade of the Pointer class corvette impulse nozzles is completed.

• Civilian transport Bleg-Ra, distressed in a free asteroid cloud near Delta IV, is rescued by USS McKenna (NCC-L53, Pointer corvette).

• Tranquility Base Shipyard is opened over Tranquility Base, Luna.

Year is conjecture, but the contract yard does build the Constitution-class Defiant and Eagle in the mid-23rd century.

New Technology

• Type A Subspace Radio Security Uprating Package
