2250s
Summary
- Medium and light cruisers continue to dominate Star Fleet.[1]
- Late: Destroyers are in general disfavor, due to a de-emphasis on offensive operations.[2]
- Late: Scientific research is starting to become perceived as a strategic policy.[3]
Years
Events
- This decade is the second of two that represents the height of perimeter ship combat on Klingon borders.[4]
- Research into possible use of dilithium instead of lithium to control warp core reactions continues.[5]
- Game-canon may have dilithium replacing fusion reactions, rather than lithium.
- The Federation Transit Authority re-modernizes it's former Drexler frigates, re-naming them as Masterson class high endurance cutters, focusing on spacelane patrol, SAR and anti-piracy tasks.[6]
- A Klingon opera on the discovery of the paradise planet Hydra II by CAPT Marvin D. Goodwell of the USS Poseidon (Mann class) is censored out of existence.[7]
- Shortly after 2253, the six Nordenskiöld sub-class light cruisers log more star hours than any of the regular units for the remainder of the decade.[8]
- The remaining Detroyat class heavy destroyers are assigned to deep space escort duty when other more appropriate tasks are lacking.[9]
- Star Fleet develops the specialized Type S small cargo pods for military replenishment missions.[10]
- USS Truman (NCC-1115, Proxima class) continues to serve as the command ship in anti-Klingon actions.[11]
- The Federation opens relations with the Hydran Kingdom, cold war partners against the Klingons and the Lyrans.[12]
- It is presumed the contact occurs in this decade, based on it having occurred "recently."
- Additional miniaturized warp systems began to emerge.[13]
- The Constitution class heavy cruisers undergo a major refit/upgrade, with the newbuilds (except Potemkin) all meeting Bonhomme Richard standards.[14]
- Production requirements for the Cochrane class colonizer is now set at 200; eight additional construction docks above Ganymede are so allocated.[15]
- Andorian forces clash with the Landorians in the Xaridian region, until decisive political measures are taken to pacify the latter. The action against Landorians leads to a surprising and unprecedented solidification of the multifaceted Andorian society.[16]
