Historical Events

• Starfleet is starting to withdraw the Sentinel class scout cruiser from scouting duties, as the class was now slower than many standard warp four ships in service.

• USS Bastion (NCC-811, Sentinel class) is lost fighting a Klingon raiding group she sensed from afar and engaged thanks to her superior speed. Fighting against overwhelming numerical odds, she demonstrated the inferiority of Klingon preparedness, eliminating five opponents before being lost.

• The Sentinel class and Armstrong subclass receive a weapons upgrade.

• USS Spann (NCC-790) is the first of the Ranger sub-class to receive an overhaul.

• The Titan sub-class shuttlecarrier enters service with Starfleet.

• The final ship of the Hermes scout class is completed.

• The Wanda subclass (of the Sherman class) cargo drone enters service with Starfleet.

• The Richter class cruiser enters service with Starfleet.

• Starfleet decides to start overhauling old Texas class light cruisers for front line duty, in order to overcome the low ship numbers. USS Rub al Khali (NCC-926) is selected to be the first to receive an overhaul (to what will be named the Navigator sub-class).

• Chiokis starts construction on the USS Marklin, but is ordered a week later to halt progress due to a legal complaint brought forth by an alliance of other shipbuilders.
