2262

Historical Events

• Boliax develops and initiates an assistance plan for the people of Uzor: mass colonization of a nearby planet for the Uzorian refugees.

The date of this plan is SFC-canon.

• Melev rejoins the UFP.

The 2262 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the second of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s.

• All Pytheas subclass exploratory cruisers and some Ranger subclass light cruisers receive an upgrade.

• USS Atlanta (NCC-1440, Baton Rouge heavy cruiser) fights Orion forces in a completely successful mission of apprehending suspected, as well as known and convicted, pirates with zero casualties.

• During Exercise Have Gun, USS Azrael (NCC-527, Siva Flight II destroyer) suffers a major atmospheric leak and loses 12 crew when she drifts too close to the black star TNC 65823 and, while disoriented, collides with the shields of the dreadnought USS Dominion (NCC-2115, Federation dreadnought).

• The Icarus and Ashanti class battle cruisers and Apache class heavy destroyers complete the refit period begun in 2259.

• Eight mothballed Texas class light cruisers are converted and recommissioned as Negrev subclass mine sweepers.

• The Federation makes first contact with Delta IV (i.e., the Deltans).

• Remaining original-type Nelson class scouts are converted to the Sager subclass.

• The two Moisanen subclass scouts are re-converted to the Sager subclass.

• The last Hubble class runabouts are decommissioned (and sold in the civilian market).

• The last HSI(U)-1B 'Bowditch' survey cutter (variant of the old Class G1 heavy warp shuttle) is removed from service with Star Fleet.

• The three ships of the Einstein subclass enter the yards for refit periods.

• The conversions of the Abbott subclass heavy repair ships are completed, and the ships begin supporting cruiser operations in deep space.

• The first set of Grayson class buoy tenders are transferred to the reserves.

• The eight Coventry class strike frigates complete their auxiliary deflector spires installations.

• The first of the Thuringia class surveyors start receiving upgrades.

• The final Hephaestus subclass tender is completed.

• January: USS Pompey (NCC-506) begins her propulsive trials.

• January: USS Suleiman (NCC-508) and USS Sargon (NCC-504) begin their yard modifications to the Pompey subclass standard.

• January: The final Unity class command cruiser, USS Harmony (NCC-2119), is completed.

• Early: Construction begins on what started to be a Achernar export heavy cruiser, but becomes a Star Fleet variant instead.

• Late: USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) begins the second round of experimental modifications, to explore models of the cruiser-carrier concept.

• End: The last Hopi class large survey cruiser is completed.

"All ten vessels were operational by 2263...": interpreting this as the final ship was completed late in this year (2262).
