2250s
Summary
- Medium and light cruisers continue to dominate Star Fleet.[1]
- The Firechain network of stealthy sensor buoys numbers approximately 800,000.[2]
- This decade is the second of two that represents the height of perimeter ship combat on Klingon borders.[3]
- Research into possible use of dilithium instead of lithium to control warp core reactions continues.[4]
- Game-canon may have dilithium replacing fusion reactions, rather than lithium.
- Star Fleet continues to upgrade its planetary assault capabilities.[5]
- Star Fleet's operational plans for expeditionary forces require a command unit, due to the lack of availability of established headquarters in an increasing number of sectors.[6]
- Mid-decade: The Tavares class light transports see frequent defensive combat in the lawless outer trade routes.[7]
- Late: Destroyers are in general disfavor, due to a de-emphasis on offensive operations.[8]
- Late: Scientific research is starting to become perceived as a strategic policy.[9]
- Late: The Vulcan Science Directorate directs their T'Pari class surveyors towards the rimward exploration zones.[10]
- Late: The massive building programs for the fleet's required support vessels begins to meet the demand.[6]

Events
- 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.[11]
- 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.[12]
- Shortly after 2253, the six Nordenskiöld subclass light cruisers log more star hours than any of the regular units for the remainder of the decade.[13]
- The remaining Detroyat class heavy destroyers are assigned to deep space escort duty when other more appropriate tasks are lacking.[14]
- Star Fleet develops the specialized Type S small cargo pods for military replenishment missions.[15]
- USS Truman (NCC-1115, Proxima class) continues to serve as the command ship in anti-Klingon actions.[16]
- The Federation opens relations with the Hydran Kingdom, cold war partners against the Klingons and the Lyrans.[17]
- It is presumed the contact occurs in this decade, based on it having occurred "recently."
- Additional miniaturized warp systems began to emerge.[18]
- The Constitution class heavy cruisers undergo a major refit/upgrade.[19]
- Production requirements for the Cochrane class colonizer is now set at 200; eight additional construction docks above Ganymede are so allocated.[20]
- 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.[21]
- The Benning class heavy frigates receive improvements to their small craft support facilities.[22]
- Moving cargo from a container to a planetary surface by site-to-site transporting is not yet a feasible technique.[23]
