2180

Historical Events

• The Vanguard class was retired two decades after the war, never receiving NCC registries.

Speculation may suggest the class remained active under the UESF banner, as it wound down/transferred assets to UFP Star Fleet.

• The 2180 Star Fleet Defense Review is completed. An explicit decision is made to not develop a successor of any sort to the escort fighter line.

• Star Fleet releases a request for proposals for a medium-warp unmanned cargo vessel.

• New versions of liaison crafts start entering service, beginning the replacement of the Montcalm and Meridio classes.

• The Andorian Imperial Guard discontinues logistical support for the Ilthirin couriers and Tanathooef escorts.

• Research & Development Command issues its white paper, "The Future Fleet: A Blueprint for the 23rd Century".

This establishes the need for an enlarged defensive fleet, and the trained personnel to crew them.

New Technology

• Warp core maximum overload extended to 11 minutes.

• Type 0 Shield Grid

• New Maximum Shield Protection Level

• Class Alpha Shield Distortion Amplifier

• Shield Recharging System
