2229

Historical Events

• February: In an emergency meeting, the Chiokis Corporation announces Project Starship would be delayed by at least five more years, moving the projected delivery date to 2239 or later. They offer (along with fellow Andorian shipyard, Salazar Fleet Builders) to build a stop-gap run of 12 light cruisers (of a new design) to help fill the defense requirements.

• USS Whorfin (NCC-1024, Whorfin subclass) survives a Kshatriyan ambush with light casualties.

• Construction begins on the first Agni subclass (of the Ariadne) patrol corvette.

The years of production are mostly conjecture.

• The Icarus class battle cruiser enters service with Starfleet.

• The Hale class scouts enter service with Starfleet.

• The Independence class medium transport enters service with Starfleet.

• Late year: A minor raid by three Klingon Raptor corvettes easily cripples USS Hercules (NCC-454), a Titan carrier, conducting maneuvers near Donatu, with more than 130 lives lost. The ship will be mothballed.
