2162
Historical Events
- January 21st: The surviving crew of USS Cavalier (ND-626, Cavalry class), is found alive and in good health by USS Lorelei (Helena class). Their recovery is a long-awaited positive media event in the middle of the postwar atmosphere of disillusionment, ambiguity and anxiety.[1][2]
- September: The first class of Starfleet Academy convenes amongst the under-construction campus in San Francisco.[3]
- The year is presumed to have occurred four years prior to the first class' graduation (in 2266); the month is based on the same class' commencement date that same (latter) year.
- A conflict erupts with the Tarn, when the USS Constitution is attacked and over 200 crew are killed.[1][4][5]
- The attack on the Constitution as the opening act is presumed.
- The USS Verdun and USS Constantine, both Messier class, are pressed to duty against the Tarn. Both disappear: the Constantine without a trace and the Verdun until 2366.[4][5]
- The last Messier to be retired, USS Braxton (CA-195), is on her way to be preserved in the recently founded Starfleet Museum when her warp drive system creates a catastrophic asymmetry and tears the ship into pieces. The skeleton crew of fifteen is killed instantly.[4]
- The Ottawa subclass of the Hercules transports starts to receive significant warp engine upgrades.[6]
- The last Djartanna light destroyers are removed from active service and mothballed, never transferred to the UFP Starfleet register.[7]
- The Marshall heavy destroyers are assigned to the defense duties previously held by the Djartanna light destroyers.[7]
- Eighteen of the Doppler class scout ships start to receive forcefield generators (as well as NCC numbers); some of the remaining others are sold to allied navies.[8]
- This started after 2161.
- The fifth Poseidon class heavy cruiser clears its box dock, to enter service with the UFP Starfleet.[9]
- Earth Councillor Dannon assassinated while making a pacifist speech on Federation grounds in San Francisco.[10]
