2260

Historical Events

• Early: * USS Texas (NCC-1900, Texas (II) sub-class) defeats a Klingon D6 cruiser at Iota Eridani.

• The United Federation of Planets rejects the membership bid by Bolarus IX, claiming the Bolians remain unstable. A world government would have to survive the coming of a new generation for the Bolians to prove their commitment to world peace.

Background material is per the Star Trek Roleplaying Game, Book 7: Worlds. The year is also game-canon, presumed to occur in a short time after first contact, but enough time to allow the planet to meet minimal membership requirements.

• Altair rejoins the UFP.

The 2260 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the first of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s.

• The Proxima class battle cruisers start decommissioning and are mothballed in surplus depots.

• The Mojave sub-class light cruisers finish receiving weapons upgrades.

• The last of the final 26 remaining Texas class light cruisers to receive overhauls, is completed, as a Texas (II) class light cruiser.
