Historical Events

  • The Ariadne patrol corvette class (and its subclasses) starts receiving a weapons upgrade.[1]
  • USS Troy (NCC-423, Siva destroyer) and USS Hellas (NCC-426, Siva destroyer) succumb to Klingon forces at Delta Leonis.[2]
Probably prior to the Final Battle of Axanar. The two names are acquired for the Loknar class.
  • The last of eight Aldrin subclass deep space frigates are refit to Magellan subclass scout cruiser standards.[3]
  • The Detroyat class heavy cruiser receives a transporter upgrade.[4]
  • Pre-commission Ares (NCC-602, Monoceros scout) is damaged beyond salvage during the final construction phase, in what appears to be an accident.[5]
This was later revealed to have been just one of several Romulan acts of sabotage on starship construction that year.
  • The last Hermes subclass scout is converted to Monoceros standard.[5]
  • The final Monoceros subclass newbuild is completed.[5]
  • This year's defense review seals the fate of numerous pre-dilithium ship types.[6]
  • Additional recycled PB-28 warp nacelles are no longer available, so production of new ones now supports the Cochrane class construction.[7]
  • Construction of the Centurion subclass reconnaissance cruiser begins.[8]
  • The Coventry class strike frigate enters service, following debate about the increasing numbers of frigates.[9]
  • April 6: USS Antares (NCC-L717, Procyon class corvette) is severely disabled through an accidental self-mining incident, leading to her mothballing until her conversion in 2275.[13]
Timo clearly intends for this to occur in 2245, with his statement of "sending...to mothballs for the following three decades"; if SD 4526.2 means it occurred in 2245, then I'm presuming "26.2" refers to 26.2% through that year, i.e., April 6.
  • The Antares incident discourages future operational use of mines aboard the corvettes and emphasizes their phaser armament instead.[13]
  • The final conversions of the Portsmiths and Bedfords are completed.[14]
  • April 11: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701, Constitution heavy cruiser) is commissioned, with program manager CAPT Robert April in command (and former President Jonathan Archer in attendance). USS Constitution (NCC-1700) is commissioned shortly after.[15][16][17]
The order of commissioning is not clear in Timo (though it does say they "were held almost concurrently"), but I recall that there was a factoid that the Big E came before the Connie.
  • May: USS Republic (NCC-1371, Constitution heavy cruiser) is re-commissioned.
The year is conjecture, based upon her re-assignment to training duty in 2248.
  • June: USS Constellation (NCC-1017, Constitution heavy cruiser) is re-commissioned.
The year is conjecture. It is presumed she was commissioned after Republic due to the less extensive modifications to the sister ship.
  • September: In the Final Battle of Axanar, the "battered" heavy cruiser USS Constitution and three of her "half-finished" sisters are moved to the forward repair base in orbit of the planet as a lure.[18]
  • Post-2245: Construction begins on shipbuilding facilities on or in-orbit of Merak II .[19]
