2269

Historical Events

• As it nears formal completion, the Memory Alpha complex is heavily disrupted, and all personnel killed, during an assault by the Zetarians.

• Altair rejoins the UFP.

The 2269 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the last of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s, and TOS: "Amok Time" indicates three starships visited upon the occasion of the inauguration of the new president in 2267, which reportedly stabilized the area. The presumption is the system rejoined after a brief period of reformation.

• Late year: The last Ranger sub-class light cruiser, USS Duncan (NCC-793), is retired.

• USS Enterprise (NCC-1701, Constitution class) hunts down and forces the surrender of the Orion murderers of four of the crew of the Honor subclass transport USS Huron (NCC-F1913).

• The eight surviving Amchitkas are placed on ‘active standby’ (i.e., idling on core world piers with minimal supervision crews), until converted in 2285.

• USS Enterprise accidentally enters an interspatial anomaly in the Delta Triangle region and locates the derelict USS Bonaventure (NX-B1) among hundreds of other lost spacecraft of varying origin. Enterprise is unable to contact nor rescue the test vehicle.

• The last of all the Thunderbolt sub-classes is de-commissioned, though some Battleaxes would continue in service with the Federation Customs Service into the 2310s.

• The 2265 upgrade period for the Surya subclass heavy frigates completes.

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