2231

Historical Events

• Early: Star Fleet Division announces that it lacks the capacity to produce all the Amchitka variant light cruisers for which it was contracted. Salazaar Fleet Builders obtains two of the required 40 keels, easing tensions on Andor.

• The ten 'newest' Venture class light cruisers receive overhauls to beef up their propulsive capabilities (and fall into the Cahuya new sub-class, accordingly).

The presumption that it was the last ten existing ships is based only on practicality.

• The Armstrong light cruiser subclass is retired.

• USS Boston (NCC-425, Syracuse sub-class) is re-commissioned as USS Einstein (NCC-O425), first of her sub-class.

• Two Hermes class scouts are lost to light Klingon ships while such long range solo missions, in two separate incidents.

• Starfleet decides to never deploy the Hermes scouts outside protective fleets, and instead use them solely as sensor platforms in conjunction with destroyers and cruisers.

• The Hermes class scout starts receiving transporter upgrades.

After 2230.

• The final new-build Sherman Mk IIa class cargo drone enters service with Starfleet.

• The overhauling of nineteen additional Texas light cruisers is ordered, following 2230's relaunch of USS Rub al Khali (NCC-926).

• The Kearsarge sub-class (to the Amchitka class) light cruiser enters service with Starfleet.
