Its status as a colony is conjecture.

• The final Burke & Aldrin Flight II frigates receive the weapons system upgrade to Flight IV status.

• The Apache class heavy destroyers begin conversion to intelligence scouts.

• The three variants of the Rochester class cruiser complete production.

• An upgrade to the Bode class heavy scouts is proposed.

• USS Ulysses (NCC-I814, Sawyer light scout) proves that the Klingon threat has not receded by stumbling to an extensive attempt to influence Prime Directive-protected planets inside Federation territory.

• USS Brazzaville and USS Providence, both Nelson scouts, are lost to Tholian-associated forces in separate incidents.

• Construction of a second batch of Cochranes begins, using the PB-31 nacelle.

• USS Cortez (NCC-1834, Miranda heavy frigate) is lost to the Vulcanoids of Darien 224.

• The Tavares light transport enters service with Star Fleet.

• Terraforming efforts begin on Caldos II, in preparation for the founding of the Federation colony.

• Late: The Bode class upgrade proposal is withdrawn.

• Late: The Westminster subclass heavy transport begins production.
