Historical Events

  • By: Just six vessels of the Ariadne patrol corvette class are still in commissioned service, though only serving in prestige roles.[1]
  • By: The Defender class still possesses the highest firepower, weapons range, and endurance of any Star Fleet vessel in operation, easily surpassing even the modern Excelsior variants.[2]
  • Praxis, the moon of Qo'noS and the site of the planet's key energy production facility, explodes from over-mining and insufficient safety precautions. The explosion causes a powerful subspace shock wave and deadly pollution of Qo'noS' ozone, threatening the depletion of the oxygen in that planet's atmosphere within approximately fifty years.[3][4]
  • Unable to solve the cataclysmic problem of oxygen depletion of Qo'noS with their own resources, the Klingon's Chancellor Gorkon sued for peace with the Federation. A faction of military renegades engineered Gorkon's assassination on the eve of his meeting with the Federation to ensure war, but their plot was exposed.[5][4]
  • The Khitomer Conference, the first full peace negotiations between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, is held at Camp Khitomer, a Klingon colony on the planet Khitomer near the border with the Federation.[6]
  • USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A, Constitution class) is decommissioned.[7]
  • Operation Retrieve, the plan to release James T. Kirk from Klingon captivity, is conceived.[9]
  • Some Okinawa class light frigates decommissioned from this post-Khitomer point on are donated to use by UFP research organizations.[10]
  • Following an investigation by Star Fleet that uncovers prostitution, illegal animal trading, and child slavery as endemic to the culture and government of Beta Rigel IV and V, both planets are immediately suspended from the Federation.[11]
  • The Federation negotiates with the Alonis regarding the establishment of a starbase in their system.[14]
  • The ex-Matterhorn, of the former Hellespont escort class, shepherds the first post-Khitomer Federation merchant convoy into Klingon space.[15]
Clearly, this takes place after the signing of the accords.
  • The AIG sets aside their Lenthal class destroyers immediately following the Klingon conflict.[16]
  • USS Darwin (NCC-652, Darwin subclass light science scout) undergoes a conversion to a lightly-armed variant of the Oberth type, is re-designated as a Gagarin subclass tactical scout, and re-commissioned as USS Thagard.[17][18]
As USS Darwin, the ship was a subclass lead. However, the remainder of its (original) subclass do not follow it into conversion.
  • USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B, Excelsior class) is commissioned.[19]
