Historical Events

• The Ottawa subclass of the Hercules transports finished receiving significant warp engine upgrades.

• All of the Durance class transports (and related subclasses) are retired.

• The USS Aurora, USS Mistral and USS Rio Negro (all Helena class cruisers) are deployed to the Tarn conflict (and lost).

• The sixth Poseidon class heavy cruiser clears its box dock, to enter service with the UFP Star Fleet.

• The 'corvette' designation for the Hippolyta class vessels is officially changed to 'clipper'.

The year of the official change is conjecture, but most likely occurred after the war.

• The Merchant class heavy transport is introduced by Vickers for commercial use on the fully re-opened Federation cargo routes.

The class being built by Vickers is game-canon, but it did originate with Earth.
