• Both Valkyr sub-classes receive a torpedo package during an upgrade period.

• The final Titan sub-class shuttlecarrier is commissioned.

• The final new-build, crewed Sherman class light transport enters service with Starfleet.

• The Icarus class battle cruisers begin a refit period.

• Chiokis convinces the Federation Tribunal that the bidding process for the Marklin class had been fair and open. Construction on the lead ship and the rest of the class re-starts.

• Most Hunter and Bloodhound class patrol boats receive an upgrade, in which 2.8 GW lasers replace the ventrally-firing 1.6 GW units, along with other changes.

• The Thunderbolt class corvette enters service with Starfleet.

• April: Upon commissioning, the USS Byrd (first of her class) begins preparations for her mission towards the galactic core, with six targets of interest and a quarter of a century to visit them.

• October: The crew of USS Bonaventure (NX-B1) are declared lost.

Month is conjecture, but it makes sense it would be the same month (three years earlier) in which the ship was declared missing.

• October: USS Byrd departs on her galactic mission.
