Historical Events

  • USS Sheridan (NCC-4463, Larson class) is lost with all but three hands on her maiden voyage to a power system explosion that could not be contained.[1]
The loss was not dated (in the original text), but had to have occurred prior to the crash of Cromwell, a later ship, in the same year.
  • The Memory Alpha planetoid is selected, as an event during the Centennial Survey, for all the archives of the UFP's cultural and scientific knowledge. The eight-year development of the project begins.[2]
  • The plight of Uzor becomes apparent to the people of Bolarus IX: it would be uninhabitable in less than a decade. Solar instability threatens to wipe out the entire Uzor system.[3]
Background material is per the Star Trek Roleplaying Game, Book 7: Worlds. The date of this awareness is game-canon.
  • USS Skagerrak (NCC-G504, Bering class) is lost to 'therspace', after rescuing a Tellarite crew.[4]
  • After final funding for the last 26 vessels of the Larson class destroyers is procured, destroyer funds are redirected to experiments intended to address the inherent shortcomings of the single-nacelled configuration of the Syracuse family class.[5]
  • The Pershing subclass (of the Sherman class) cargo drone enters service with Star Fleet.[6]
  • USS Virgo (NCC-1572, Taurus sub-class) is lost from unknown causes while scouting in the direction of Zeta Persei.[7]
  • Having completed a multi-year refit, USS Byrd (first of her class) launches on her second galactic survey, a 13-year voyage.[8]
Presumption, based on that each of the three ships completed 2 surveys, and the Smith was the last to return from her own 13-year voyage.
  • The Constitution class heavy cruisers start receiving transporter upgrades.[9]
This occurred after 2260.
  • USS Cromwell (NCC-4477, Larson class) takes refuge on Delta Canaris VI after the nacelle is ripped out and life support compromised by a relativistic-speed meteoroid cloud.[1]
  • Construction of the Mk VI Larson class destroyer begins.[1]
  • The first conversion of a Mk II Larson class destroyer to Mk VI begins.[1]
  • The third (of three) attempt at further production of the Larson class destroyer is deferred.[1]
Presumably this refers to an expansion of contracts for the present new-builds.
  • USS Pompey (NCC-506) is the first of three Siva Flight II subclass vessels to receive a second nacelle, initiating the Pompey subclass.[5]
  • The final Flight I Loknar class frigate is upgraded to Flight IA standard.[10]
  • Some older Aakenn subclass heavy transports are relegated to Star Fleet training duty.[11]
  • Six Westminster subclass heavy transports are transferred from the SMM to Star Fleet and with modifications into Abbott subclass heavy repair ships begun.[11]
  • Early: USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) begins the first round of experimental modifications, to explore models of the cruiser-carrier concept.[8]
