Historical Events

  • Klingon ships begin a series of frequent raids into UFP territory.[1]
  • The United Federation of Planets rejects the membership bid by Boliax, claiming the Bolians remain unstable. The new planetary government, the World Council, will have to survive the coming of a new generation for the Bolians to prove their commitment to world peace.[2]
The year is SFC-canon, presumed to occur in a short time after first contact, but enough time to allow the planet to meet minimal membership requirements.
The 2260 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the first of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s.
  • The Proxima class battle cruisers start decommissioning and are mothballed in surplus depots.[4]
  • The Mojave sub-class light cruisers finish receiving weapons upgrades.[5]
  • The last of the final 26 remaining Texas class light cruisers to receive overhauls, is completed, as a Texas (II) class light cruiser.[5]
  • USS Smith (Byrd class galactic survey cruiser) returns early from her 25-year voyage.[6]
The early return is surmised, as the ship undergoes experimental modifications in the following year.
  • The first of the remaining Larson destroyers are brought to full phaser VII standard, equipped with duotronic systems, and upgraded with other technologies.[1]
To be clear, this refers to refits of existing Larsons and not the new (i.e. 2261) Mk VI.
  • The heyday of the Larson class destroyer begins.[1]
  • The PB-32 deep space engine becomes available and immediately provided to the Nelson class scouts/destroyers.[8]
  • Two Nelson class scouts are converted to the Moisanen subclass.[8]
  • Two Nelson class scouts are converted to the Sager subclass.[8]
  • The final Burke Flight IV frigate is decommissioned.[9]
  • The final Aldrin Flight IV frigate is decommissioned.[9]
  • USS Pompey (NCC-506, Siva Flt II) is reassigned from the Klingon border to propulsive research, receiving a second nacelle.[10]
  • The final Keith class surveyor is completed.[11]
  • The final Constitution Flight II is upgraded to Bonhomme Richard configuration.[12]
  • The ships having served longest in the Bonhomme Richard configurations are the first to be upgraded to the Constitution Flight III.[12]
  • The Mo'Kal class light fleet tug enters service with Star Fleet and hundreds more are produced for the commercial market, reducing the costs to Star Fleet as a benefit of mass production.[13]
  • The colony on Narval is established by Caitians.[2]
  • The Class F3 light shuttle enters service with Star Fleet, starting with starbases & ground installations.[14]
The initial assignment is presumed, as it was 2 years later that starship deployments began.
  • The UFP's expansion recommences, spearheaded by fast, far-ranging starships.[16]
  • Star Fleet decides to split the Prospecting And Reconnaissance Integrated Scoutship (PARIS) project into two different vessel types with divergent foci.[16][17]
  • Production of the Graynet support corvette class commences.[18]
  • Early: Light cruiser USS Texas (NCC-1900) defeats a Klingon D6 cruiser at Iota Eridani.[5]
  • Early: Miranda class heavy frigates Aloia (NCC-1841) and Polaris (NCC-1939) are stricken from the active Starship Register due to faults discovered in their spaceframes.[19][20]
In reality, they were converted to the Soyuz configuration, to engage in anti-cloak operations for Star Fleet Intelligence against the Klingons.
  • Early: Production of the first series of the Derf buoy tender/mine warfare ship class begins at Merak II.[21]
  • Mid: The first Achernar export heavy cruiser is completed and delivered to the client-state.[22]
  • October: The Okinawa class light frigate enters service with Star Fleet.[23]
The crisis is averted as of November 24th.
  • By End: The two prototype Derf class buoy tender/mine warfare ships are completed.[21]
