(Redirected from 2087 (FASA))
Reference Stardate 0/8001 through 0/8912
2080
- RSD 0/80: The Companion class is removed from service.[1]
2081
October
- RSD 0/8110 through 0/8206 (October 2081 through June 2082): An agreement with Alpha Centauri and Vulcan allows Earth to launch its Milky Way series probes from those locations.[1][2]
2082
February
- RSD 0/8202: The U.N.S.S. Marco Polo returns to Earth from the Rigel system laden with cargo and important news. The exclusive ties between Dlumppheg and the Bothok Planetary Congress do not apply to the much richer trading market available by dealing directly with the Orion trading families. Small, independent traders conduct vast trade with large Orion corporations. Dlumppheg is sued unsuccessfully more than 750 times in Andorian, Centauran, and Human courts.[3]
April
- RSD 0/8204: A series of meetings takes place on Vulcan, attended by delegates of the five major spacefaring governments: Earth, Vulcan, Andor, Alpha Centauri, and Tellar. This first attempt to establish a single, unifying federation fails to receive popular support of the worlds involved because the primary goals and policies of such a coalition are not adequately defined. Diplomats agree to continue working toward such a federation, now realizing that their efforts must center on defining the roles and responsibilities for the new government.[1][2]
June
- RSD 0/8206: Tellar's G'buqoff class armed transport becomes operational. An excellent and rugged design, the class remains in service for more than nine decades. A total of 2700 will be built.[2]
July
- RSD 0/8207: Earth's Cosmos class interstellar survey ship becomes operational, and begins research into nearby stars. The class, which carries a complement of 100, will remain in service until 2120, and 103 will be built.[1][2]
2083
- RSD 0/83: The first joint Human-alien starship crews reflect an increasing interaction with extraterrestrial cultures. Captain Shu Tse Sum of the Messier class U.N.S.S. Pollux noted that a Vulcan communications officer named Supak had "superb" duty performance, and had not made a single operational mistake or oversight in his first month aboard the Pollux. Supak, however, had difficulty interacting socially with the Human crew.[1]
November
- RSD 0/8311: Tellar's Degbaxis class frigate becomes operational, eventually serving as a second-line combat ship throughout the Romulan War. Sixty will be built.[2]
2084
January
- RSD 0/8401: Earth's Edison class interstellar research ships become operational and begin gathering new information on antimatter in the interstellar void. Carrying a complement of 58, the class will remain in service until 2139. Sixteen will be built.[1][2]
July
- RSD 0/8407: Earth's Cavalry class destroyer becomes operational, eventually serving as a second-line ship throughout the Romulan War. A total of 100 will be built.[2]
2085
April
- RSD 0/8504: Earth's Assist class warp tender, with a crew of 20, is commissioned. Two hundred will be built, and the class will remain in service until 2112.[1][2]
August
- RSD 0/8508: The "Pluto Plague," an unknown disease with an exceptionally high mortality rate, spreads through a the Pluto Research Base, killing all 200 Human and Centauran scientists. The disease is later linked to a contaminated souvenir originally obtained from an incautious Orion trader. This is the first unpleasant incident between Humans and Orions, and helps to set the tone for future relations.[1][2]
2086
January
- RSD 0/8601: Alpha Centauri's Zoenamy class corvette becomes operational. The class will serve as an armed picket patrol ship throughout the Romulan War. A total of 119 will be built.[2]
2087
March
- RSD 0/8703: Vulcan's Toj Lol class explorer becomes operational, eventually serving as a small research ship and diplomatic courier during the Romulan War. Ninety-one will be built.[2]
June
Seal of the United Federation of Planets (SFTM)
- RSD 0/8706.06 (6 June): The United Federation of Planets is incorporated at the first Babel Interplanetary Conference. The original signatory powers include Earth, Alpha Centauri, Vulcan, Andor, and Tellar. Harmon Axelrod of Earth is elected as the first President of the Federation Council, serving until 2101. The goals of the new Federation include ensuring interstellar security, improving economic trade, scientific research, and galactic exploration. In conjunction with these objectives, the organization of Star Fleet Command is to be completed within the next three years, providing a unified military force for exploration and common defense. Stardates are adopted as the Federation's principal interstellar time system. The Rigel system offers to join the Federation, provided they are paid ten trillion credits "in compensation." The request is rejected, and they choose to remain outside the Federation entirely.[1][4][2][5] The Orions also maintain the secret of the existence of the Klingon Empire. The Klingons are just one of many cultures that the Orions trade with, and so go unnoticed by the Federation.[6]
August
- RSD 0/8708: In the first example of Federation military cooperation, the Alpha Centauri Djartanna class destroyer enters service with the United Nations Space Force. Over the next three decades, a total of 316 will be constructed for the UNSF and Star Fleet Command.[2]
2088
- RSD 0/88: The UFP census indicates that Earth has a population of more than ten billion, with more than eight million Humans residing in space.[1]
April
- RSD 0/8804: Plans are made for a Federation-wide news-gathering and reporting agency. As a result, the Solarian News Agency merges with other planetary services, creating the United Federation of Planets Infonet.[2]
June
- RSD 0/8806: With the permission and assistance of the Alpha Centauri Concordium of Planets, United Nations Space Force officials begin to construct the Centauri Test Range, a weaponry and propulsion test facility and research center.[2]
2089
Space buoy (SFC)
- RSD 0/89: Space buoys are deployed to improve navigation and security within the Federation's boundaries. These buoys will remain in service until 2131.[1][5]
September
Wargames accident (SFC)
- RSD 0/8909.14 (14 September): A tragic space wargames accident results in speeding up the chartering of the Federation's proposed Star Fleet Academy. Due to a misunderstood combat-simulation procedure, the U.N.S.S. Scythe was accidentally blind-sided by a small Centauran corvette, swinging the large destroyer's lasers fatally through two other Federation destroyers, the U.N.S.S. Hammer and the U.N.S.S. Enmity, with the loss of 232 lives.[1][2]
October
- RSD 0/8910.10 (10 October): Star Fleet Command is established to replace the spacegoing forces of all member planets, with all ships redesignated as "United Space Ships" (U.S.S.). To discourage the possible misuse of military forces anywhere in space, General Order Number One is adopted as the most important regulation in Star Fleet.[2] To provide Star Fleet Command with military intelligence-gathering capabilities, Star Fleet Intelligence is created. Its Operating Forces Subdivision initially consists of Sectors 1 through 4, and the Technical Services Subdivision contains Orion Activities Units as well as supporting branches.[7]
