2180s

Summary

• Starfleet tasks independent deep space missions solely on top-of-the-line cruisers.

• With Vulcan decommissioning its old warfleet and with the anticipation of Andoria doing the same, Starfleet significantly downscales its operations again, hoping to provide time and resources for its own reorganization.

• Starfleet begins considering requirements for a new doctrine of logistics scaled towards medium transports.

• Noting the careers of the wartime capital ship classes are beginning their inevitable downturn, Starfleet starts to develop requirements for a new heavy cruiser design.

Events

• The 27 Drexler class vessels funded and operated by the Federation Customs Service have collectively suffered relatively little fatigue and damage, are still in good condition and do their part in helping Starfleet through its period of postwar block obsolescence.

• It is determined the Powers class is hopelessly outdated as a survey craft.
