2310

Historical Events

• It emerges during the inquiry regarding the loss of the USS Wilimington that Captain Lamarr had seriously over stressed the ship's engines by ordering warp 7 while within the storm; although the Wilmington was quite capable of maintaining this speed under normal conditions, during an ion storm it was far too great a load. Although other factors contributed greatly, such as a serious breakdown in communications on the ship, Starfleet was unwilling to chance such a situation again and starts to conduct an assessment of several possible new warp scales.
