The expensive and ill-fated U.S.S. Tritium, the first cruiser of the Tritium class, was commissioned on Stardate 2205.051 (20 February 2205).[Notes 1] The class never met any of its design specifications. Numerous high-level Starfleet personnel were discharged as a result, and the Tritium was decommissioned within seven years.[1]

Notes

  1. "The Four Years War" referred to events by a FASA-specific dating standard called the "Reference Stardate." All dates in this article have been adapted from that notation into standard calendar dates, which are then adjusted for errors in the baseline dates used as reference by the FASA authors. Working with a known, dated event (e.g., the launch of the Constitution class starships), the other dates in the timeline can be adjusted accordingly. "The Four Years War" gives the launch of the Constitution class as Reference Stardate 1/8801.04, or 04 January 2188; this has been established on screen, however, as having occurred in 2245. As the exact month and date remain unstated in other sources, those remain the same, but the year is adjusted to 2245, giving a modified date of 04 January 2245. This can then be converted into the pre-TOS stardate system established in Star Trek (2009), giving us a stardate of 2245.004. Using this as a baseline, all other dates in the FASA timeline can be similarly modified and converted. The Tritium class was noted as becoming operational on Reference Stardate 1/4802.20; converting as stated previously gives a modified date of 2205.051.
