Historical Events

• The final Broadway class cultural exchange ship, USS Huron, is retired from service.

• The last Sentinel class scout cruisers receive their new transporters.

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

The years of production are mostly conjecture.

• The Trent and Horatio light destroyer subclasses are retired from service with Star Fleet.

• The final ships of the Ranger cruiser sub-classes receive their 2241 upgrade.

• The Baton Rouge class heavy destroyers receive an upgrade.

• The decommissioning of the Hale class scouts begins.

• The final Mojave sub-class light cruiser is completed.

• A series of aggressive incidents by the Klingons begins, impacting multiple Nelson class scouts and rearranging Star Fleet priorities.

This series continues through 2250.

• USS Morgan City (NCC-2704, Loknar frigate) falls prey to a Klingon strike, is captured and repaired, and adopted as part of the Klingon forces.

The use of the ship to lure "UFP freighters to their doom" and the eventual three-month hunt for the pirate vessel probably began after 2246.

• A period of time, that lasts until 2265, begins wherein there is very little direct, coordinated military action against Klingon forces, due to a decrease in the intensity and coherence of their piracy raids.

• USS Noshiro (NCC-1885), nominally of the Surya heavy frigate subclass, is completed.

• Shintoi Heavy Industries fine-tunes its heavy transport proposal into a mighty military machine quite on par with the combat starships of the era.

Soon thereafter, Star Fleet requested serious alterations to the plan, including a variant of the intended nacelle and the capacity for troops.

• The Aakenn class heavy transport enters production.

• Three additional vessels are added to the production order for the Coventry class strike frigate.

• A civil war breaks out in the Vestios system, involving rebels on Vestios II.
