Historical Events

  • The final Advance class battle cruiser is stricken from Star Fleet's registry.[1]
  • The last of the Keppler sub-class of Ptolemy fleet tug/tenders are completed.[2]
  • USS Texas, the first of the final 26 remaining Texas class light cruisers to receive overhauls, is completed, as a new Texas (II) class light cruiser.[3]
  • The ships of the three Rochester sub-classes complete the refits.[4]
  • The final Guardian class heavy escort is decommissioned.[5]
  • Construction starts on the Paladin subclass destroyer.[6]
  • USS New America (NCC-2706, Loknar frigate) tractors to safety a Federation starliner that had suffered an impulse drive malfunction on approach of Procyon and was in danger of plunging into the chromosphere of the star with 400 people aboard.[7]
  • USS Sverdlov (NCC-1238, Coventry strike frigate) fails to return from a test run of the new PB-51 series engines.[8][9]
In reality, this was a black op to secure the Sverdlov for Star Fleet Intelligence in development as an observation ship, USS Soyuz. The truth behind the "loss" would be declassified in the 2290s.
  • The funding of future Santee and Coronado shuttlecarrier is interrupted.[10]
  • The Princeton subclass shuttlecarrier program is canceled.[10]
  • The final Santee shuttlecarrier is completed.[10]
  • The final Mustang class corvette is completed.[11]
  • Star Fleet unveils the New Light Frigate initiative, creating a light frigate design based off the export versions of the Procyon corvettes.[12]
  • A concerted effort is made to save the megesti, an energy-hungry spaceborne species endemic to the Algol system.[13]
  • In lieu of an impulse or subimpulse fightercraft of similarly compact dimensions to the Benares-type orbital hoppers, a gunship version of that craft enters Star Fleet service (onboard Coronado class through-deck cruisers).[14]
  • Star Fleet decides to draw up a standard small, general purpose work pod with modular tool packs.[15]
  • Early: The Hopi large survey cruiser enters service with Star Fleet.[16]
  • March: Convoy PD-14, consisting of 20 ships but escorted by only two Star Fleet vessels, launches from Archanis IV in an atmosphere of urgency due to depleted resources and insufficient available escorts. It is tasked with providing vital dilithium supplies from the Archanis Sector to key reconstruction efforts on worlds such as Corvan II and Novo Leningrad. At approximately 10 light-years out from Archanis IV, the convoy is attacked by six Nausicaan raider ships. After two days of raiding, only five ships remain. Both Star Fleet vessels are destroyed.[17]
  • June: USS Inuit (NCC-747, Cahuya survey cruiser) is lost in the Azha system to consumption by a spaceborne lifeform of a type common in the region (though, at the time, it was presumed to be due to an encounter with Klingons).[18][19]
