Historical Events

• By: A third of the Cochrane class colonizers have been idled.

• The final select vessels of the Ariadne class (and its subclasses) receive transporter upgrades.

• Based upon the nearly 80% evacuation of Uzor by the Bolians, Boliax is offered—and accepts—membership into the United Federation of Planets.

The membership is SFC-canon.

• The last of the Titan subclass shuttlecarrier are mothballed.

• The last four constructed Kitty Hawk subclass cruisers, including USS Trailblazer (NCC-1596) and USS Scovil (NCC-1598), are quietly transferred to TacFleet.

• The last of the Roberts class security cruisers is decommissioned, and gifted to the people of Arkaria.

• USS Bellatrix (NCC-S462), of the Mark II type of Capella class, is modified as a test of the WD-4 nacelles.

• The initiation of conversion of USS Wilkerson (NCC-4704) with the linear warp engine begins, the first of 10 Paladin class destroyers to undergo the process.

• The Loknar class frigates with the AIG receive a final refit.

The Star Fleet ships will not receive this refit, per the intent to draw down the number of active ships of the class.

• Aakenn, Westminster heavy transports and Abbott heavy repair ships enter the yards for a transporter upgrade.

• The Andromakhe subclass buoy tender enters production and then service with Star Fleet.

• The Whirlwind class assault ships areonly given solo assignments to ‘lukewarm spots’.

• The last of the Constitution heavy cruisers pull in from their exploration missions, after three decades of operation.

• The "shuttlecarrier" designation for the Coronado subclass is changed to "through-deck cruiser."

• The Coronado through-deck cruiser subclass receives a transporter system upgrade.

• The final Mo'Kal is completed for a commercial buyer.

The text implies it was produced for commercial entities, to Star Fleet's cost advantage, the entire previous decade.

• The Mk II variant of the Mo'Kal class light fleet tug enters service with Star Fleet.

• The Federation Central Hospital is completed on Altair IV.

• The Bajoran colony Pillagra is founded and makes first contact with the Federation.

The colony is rescued from Ascendent attack by a Star Fleet vessel.

• Early to Mid: President McLaren rescinds his reduction of Star Fleet's exploration budget, though some operational responses (such as the draw down of the Hopi class large survey cruiser) are already committed.

So far, no sourced year has been found for this, but if the USS Enterprise is in drydock for the first refit by September, that will give her two full years for that evolution.

• July 12th: CDR Paul Burch and a supporting team steal USS Star Empire (NCC-2116, Federation dreadnought) before her completion, resulting in the exposure of a major conspiracy in the ranks of Star Fleet.

• Post-July 12th: USS Pompeii (NCC-424, Siva Flight II destroyer) is destroyed with all hands by USS Enterprise (NCC-1701, Constitution heavy cruiser), as part of the ‘dreadnought conspiracy’.

Details are per the Diane Carey novel, Dreadnought!.

The ships were re-acquired by 2271.
