History

• Prior to 2135: A human colony is established on New Aberdeen.

This does not preclude another species or explain the presence of the humans; that still remains to be decided for game-canon, but definitely occurs prior to 2231.

• 2135: The HMS New Zealand is sent to the New Aberdeen colony on a diplomatic mission from Earth.

• Prior to 2231: Star Fleet decides to provide five transportable drydocks to New Aberdeen to begin immediate production on the Rochester class cruisers.

• 2216: New Aberdeen becomes a UFP member/colony.

• 2237: The Aldebaran system is considered to be the Klingon Empire's next target, following the annexation of Amar.

• 2268: The Vulcans sponsor the construction of two Defender class battleships, the USS M’Hasien and USS S’Harien at New Aberdeen.
