2271
Historical Events
- A new weapons classification system is adopted by Star Fleet, defining individual systems as either 'light', 'medium' or 'heavy' in nature.[1]
- The Keppler sub-class (of Ptolemy class) fleet tug/tenders start to be overhauled with the LN-52 warp engines.[2]
- The final Class D6 work pod is removed from service with Star Fleet.[3]
- The battle at Klach D'kel Brakt takes place between the Klingon and Romulan empires.[4][5]
- The Constitution article only references "the Klach D’Kel Brakt betrayal," but appears to be about an abrupt change in diplomatic affairs, signaled by a sneak attack.
- USS Benning (NCC-1244, Benning subclass heavy frigate) is declared lost.[6]
- The Vulcan Science Directorate's T'Pari surveyors start receiving upgrades to the K’Kmarak standard.[7]
- There is a chance this upgrade could be interpreted to apply to the Star Fleet Thuringias too, but that is (in my opinion) unlikely, due to the previous 850 mt installation of 2262.
- Star Fleet adopts a new uniform.[8]
- Select command cruisers of the Unity class receive transporter upgrades to Mk IV standard.[9]
- Twenty-two of the Okinawa class light frigates are selected for and begin refits to Flight II configuration.[10]
- See the list in "Notes" section for known ships so converted.
- The United Federation of Planets extends membership to Atrea IV.[11][8]
- Star Fleet uses precise targeting of torpedoes and phasers to resolve both severe tectonic activity and extremely cold polar fronts on Caldos II's terraforming project; orbital microwave conversion satellites are provided to power the necessary weather matrix grid.[13]
- The USS Bader, USS Clifton, and USS Tombaugh (Bader class exploratory cruisers) host a series of Sagan Award recipients for the fourth year, while the USS Akela and USS Crescent retrace old survey routes.[14]
- This occurs through 2274.
- The last operational D6 work pod is removed from Star Fleet service.[15]
- The version never served with Star Fleet.
- Type 10 ("Workbee") work pods now monitor the health of the pilot, activating an emergency beacon and returning to base when appropriate.[17]
- The use of letter codes for non-line ships' registrations is discontinued for all newly-ordered vessels.[18]
- They are also removed from (at least) the Procyon class corvettes and Hellespont class escorts around this time (and no later than the end of the decade, per SFC).
- USS Crimea (NCC-3402) is the last of eight Hellespont class escorts lost to relatively lightly armed raiders, in an attack that claims the lives of her bridge crew.[19]
- This has to happen after the Crimea has her registry updated.
- Rigel XVa, as represented by the Jelna, joins the United Federation of Planets.[8]
- The final Ranger Flight II courier is assembled.[20]
- Star Fleet establishes the Enterprise Award for Exploration, unit recognition for four years or longer in deep space exploration.[8]
New Technology
- Navigational Deflectors are built 33% larger on new classes.
- Ships designed from here on do not need Weapon Control Rooms.
- Star Fleet starts using Channeled Phasers on its new classes.
