Historical Events

  • USS Sheridan (NCC-4463, Larson class) is lost with all but three hands on her maiden voyage to a power system explosion that could not be contained.[1]
The loss was not dated (in the original text), but had to have occurred prior to the crash of Cromwell, a later ship, in the same year.
  • Early: USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) begins the first round of experimental modifications, to explore models of the cruiser-carrier concept.[2]
  • The Memory Alpha planetoid is selected, as an event during the Centennial Survey, for all the archives of the UFP's cultural and scientific knowledge. The eight-year development of the project begins.[3]
  • The plight of Uzor becomes apparent to the people of Bolarus IX: it would be uninhabitable in less than a decade. Solar instability threatens to wipe out the entire Uzor system.[4]
Background material is per the Star Trek Roleplaying Game, Book 7: Worlds. The date of this awareness is game-canon.
  • USS Skagerrak (NCC-G504, Bering class) is lost to 'therspace', after rescuing a Tellarite crew.[5]
  • After final funding for the last 26 vessels of the Larson class destroyers is procured, destroyer funds are redirected to experiments intended to address the inherent shortcomings of the single-nacelled configuration of the Syracuse family class.[6]
  • The Pershing subclass (of the Sherman class) cargo drone enters service with Starfleet.[7]
  • USS Virgo (NCC-1572, Taurus sub-class) is lost from unknown causes while scouting in the direction of Zeta Persei.[8]
  • Having completed a multi-year refit, USS Byrd (first of her class) launches on her second galactic survey, a 13-year voyage.[2]
Presumption, based on that each of the three ships completed 2 surveys, and the Smith was the last to return from her own 13-year voyage.
  • The Constitution class heavy cruisers start receiving transporter upgrades.[9]
This occurred after 2260.
  • USS Cromwell (NCC-4477, Larson class) takes refuge on Delta Canaris VI after the nacelle is ripped out and life support compromised by a relativistic-speed meteoroid cloud.[1]
  • The third (of three) attempt at further production of the Larson class destroyer was deferred.[1]
