Historical Events
- 21 January: UNSS Nautilus was thus the first ship to boost out of Earth orbit on her way to Tau Ceti.[1]
- 01 May: UNSS Prometheus is the fourth and last Columbus series to launch. [2]
- The Guide actually indicates that the last one to launch was within six months of the launch of the Nautilus, putting it no later than 21 July of this year. However, anything later than 05 May would allow for the cancellation of the flight, due to the loss of the Nautilus on that date. The launch date of 01 May is, therefore, assumed.
- 05 May: UNSS Nautilus, traveling at almost 0.4c, hit an interplanetary object too large for the meteoroid protection system to handle. The vessel entered uncontrollable oscillatory movement. Hundreds of successive meteoroid impacts and dangerous charge buildup were recorded before total communications loss. The onboard computer could not handle the situation, and Earth controllers could only watch through space telescopes as the ship tore herself apart in a matter of days. [3]
