2212

Historical Events

• Battle cruiser testbed USS Indomitable (NX-1023r) passes most weapons tests, but consistently fails drive tests. It is decommissioned shortly thereafter.

• A third (and final) Whorfin subclass (of the Horizon heavy cruiser) is ordered (NCC-1029), to be delivered in 2215.

The hull was initially ordered-along with the previous two Whorfins-as an Advance, before production on that sub-class was suspended.

• Construction begins on the first Alpan subclass (of the Ariadne) patrol corvette.

The years of production are mostly conjecture.

• The last of the Kovaris subclass (of the Trent class) light destroyer (both phase gun and torpedo types) enters service with Star Fleet.

• USS Leonides (NCC-772, Mann class) intercepts a group of pirates ransacking the armed Klingon transport Flying Fortress, and thus unknowingly throws a challenge to the Sta Mura dynasty, plunging the secular elements of the Klingon Empire into a heated conflict with the Federation as well.

The decision to label the Fortress as Klingon is game-canon. Comments regarding Klingon-vs-Klingon engagements and the year 2212 (in the Guide: Ranger article) suggest the Sta Mura dynasty is the current leading political power within the Klingon Empire and the Leonides finds herself involved between apparently secular and religious factions.

• Late year: Star Fleet shunts almost 40% of its maintenance budget into the development of a mass-produceable supercruising light cruiser.
