* The last of the [[Romulans (SFU)|Romulan]] "Old Series" mauler ships is destroyed in combat. The weapon, which needed too much power to be used effectively, was regarded as a failure. The design will be resurrected when [[Klingons (SFU)|Klingon]] [[warp drive (SFU)|warp engines]] provide the Romulans with a better source of power for their ships.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

* The [[Gorn-Romulan Wars (SFU)#Fourth War|Fourth Gorn-Romulan War]] ends in a [[Gorn (SFU)|Gorn]] victory. The Gorn occupy some [[Romulan Star Empire (SFU)|Romulan]] territory to establish a clearly defined border, and destroy Romulan bases used to launch aggression.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* The [[Lyrans (SFU)|Lyrans]] attack the [[Kzinti (SFU)|Kzinti]] in the [[Kzinti-Lyran Wars (SFU)#Third War|Third Kzinti-Lyran War]] with part of their fleet, taking advantage of the [[Klingon-Kzinti Wars (SFU)#Third War|Third Klingon-Kzinti War]].<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* The [[Federation Council (SFU)|Federation Council]] votes for a massive program of exploration toward the unexplored and uninhabited coreward regions. [[Aurora III (SFU)|Aurora III]] becomes the staging area for this program. A fleet base station is built there, and supplies for the program are stockpiled as explorers, traders, colonists, and [[Star Fleet (SFU)|Star Fleet]] awaits final approval of the campaign.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

 +
===Y130===
 +
* The [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]]'s [[Constitution class (SFU)|''Constitution'' class]] heavy cruisers are simultaneously inaugurated as the flagships of all of the numbered fleets. Some have been ''de facto'' flagships for some time.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* The [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]]'s [[Aurora III (SFU)|Aurora]] colony disappears mysteriously after sending a report of a very unusual cosmic storm. Every starship in the sector is sent to investigate but finds nothing; the entire [[Aurora system (SFU)|Aurora system]] has disappeared: star, planets, asteroids, bases, colonists — everything! The [[Federation Council (SFU)|Federation Council]] attempts a cover-up, but the news leaks. The resignation of pro-exploration members of the Council delays such exploration for decades. A century will pass before Aurora is found in the [[Omega Octant (SFU)|Omega Octant]].<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

The Highlanders Prime Team, under the command of [[Kelleret, Sheroc (SFU)|Sheroc Kelleret]], liberates the starliner with no civilian fatalities. While the Orions fought to the death rather than surrender, Orion propaganda convinces many that a vengeful Prime Team executed the pirates.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

* [[Hydrans (SFU)|Hydran]] agents from the Lost Colonies begin infiltrating [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingon]]-occupied planets of the [[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Kingdom]].<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

* [[Hydrans (SFU)|Hydrans]] from the Lost Colonies under King [[Hydraxan XI (SFU)|Hydraxan XI]] attack the [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingon]] satellites over the Hydran planets. In a swift campaign lasting only a few weeks, the [[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Hydran Kingdom]] is restored. The personal popularity of Hydraxan XI makes him "unacceptable" to the guilds, and he dies under mysterious circumstances. While Hydraxan XII ascends the throne, the guilds solidify their power.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

* The [[Kzinti (SFU)|Kzinti]] field the first battle tug, which defeats an [[Orions (SFU)|Orion]] attack on a convoy.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

 +
* The brief [[Hydran-Lyran Wars (SFU)#Fourth War|Fourth Hydran-Lyran War]] begins and ends as the [[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Hydrans]] recapture two planets from the [[Lyran Star Empire (SFU)|Lyrans]].

Gerard]], whom they take with them. The Marquis (the Kzinti noble in charge of the [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]] border) captures and executes the renegades to preserve peace, but he cannot return Gerard without explaining what the samurai had planned to do with him. Gerard is raised as a son of his own house.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* A revolt in the [[Lyran Star Empire (SFU)|Lyran Star Empire]]'s Dark Star County results in a democratic government still loyal to the Lyran Empire.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

 +
* A [[Kzinti (SFU)|Kzinti]]-[[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Hydran]] Treaty is signed. Each pledges to attack the [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingons]] and/or [[Lyran Star Empire (SFU)|Lyrans]] if the other is attacked by them. The Klingons and Lyrans sign a joint defense treaty six weeks later. Many Lyran nobles oppose this treaty, resulting in a sporadic civil war.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
 +
==2557==
 +
===Y157===
 +
* A [[Gorn (SFU)|Gorn]]-[[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]] "war" starts as the result of a small incident where two brash young captains shoot first and face embarrassing questions later.<ref name="TOS19"/> Both fleets mobilize, but no space combat takes place. The [[Romulan Star Empire (SFU)|Romulans]] attempt to disrupt treaty negotiations,<ref name="SFUSH52"/> but the "war" ends six weeks later with the [[Treaty of Algoran (SFU)|Treaty of Algoran]].

===Y158===
 +
* The [[Klingon-Kzinti Wars (SFU)#Fourth War|Fourth Klingon-Kzinti War]] begins. Citing their treaty, the [[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Hydrans]] almost immediately launch an attack against the [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingon]] border squadrons.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* The [[Lyran Star Empire (SFU)|Lyrans]] join the [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingons]] in fighting the [[Hydran Kingdom (SFU)|Hydrans]] and [[Kzinti (SFU)|Kzinti]]. This is known as the [[Four Powers War (SFU)|Four Powers War]] and is regarded as a prelude to the later [[General War (SFU)|General War]]. All previous wars had been small (mostly consisting of border raids) but new logistical systems developed in this war (notably the semi-portable "mobile base") will make actual invasions of enemy territory possible. Fighters are deployed by the Kzinti in large numbers for the first time, establishing the concept of "attrition units" which make it possible to fight savage battles without losing quite so many ships that take years to build.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>
 +
* The [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]], anxious to reduce the threat posed by the [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingons]], shifts fleet units to the Klingon border and discusses a limited action with the [[Organians (SFU)|Organians]] to restore the balance of power. This is, however, a hoax intended to influence the Klingons to negotiate an immediate settlement to end the war, as the Federation would never consider military power as a solution to the problem. The plan backfires.<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

 +
===Y159===
 +
* The [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingon]]-[[Romulan Star Empire (SFU)|Romulan]] [[Treaty of Smarba (SFU)|Treaty of Smarba]] signed. Klingons begin supplying advanced technology to the Romulans, allowing the conversion of old Warbirds into [[War Eagle class (SFU)|War Eagles]]. These increase pressure on the [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]] border. The Federation transfers ships back from the Klingon border to the Romulan border. This allows the Klingons to transfer ships to fight the [[Kzinti (SFU)|Kzinti]]. The Federation's attempt to use the "threat of force" as a substitute for simple force has failed and planted the seeds of the [[General War (SFU)|General War]].<ref name="SFUPD20Modern"/>

Gnasher (SFU)|''Gnasher'']] raids [[Rita's Planet (SFU)|Rita's Planet]] in the [[Klingon Neutral Zone (SFU)|Neutral Zone]], massacring the [[United Federation of Planets (SFU)|Federation]] colonists. The [[U.S.S.

* [[Kumerian, Ardak (SFU)|Ardak Kumerian]] assumes command of frigate ''[[I.K.V. Vigilance (SFU)|Vigilance]].'' Due to a combination of circumstances, history will record more about him than any other [[Klingon Empire (SFU)|Klingon]] officer.

Revision as of 15:24, 12 September 2021


2520 to 2579

2520

Y120

  • The Fourth Gorn-Romulan War begins and continues for five years.[1]
  • At about this time, all empires begin building base stations along their borders, replacing previous haphazard networks of various types and sizes of bases. This tends to solidify the borders over the next two decades.[1]

2521

Y121

2523

Y123

2524

Y124

  • The last of the Romulan "Old Series" mauler ships is destroyed in combat. The weapon, which needed too much power to be used effectively, was regarded as a failure. The design will be resurrected when Klingon warp engines provide the Romulans with a better source of power for their ships.[1]

2525

Y125

2526

Y126

2528

Y128

  • The Hydran civil war ends as Prince S'Lenthna abdicates in favor of his underage grandson. All of the boy-king's regents are heads of guilds.[1]

2529

Y129

  • The Hydran "Lost Colonies" begin preparations for restoration of the kingdom. Technology is acquired from unknown foreign sources, later said to be Kzinti or perhaps Orion.[1]

2530

Y130

  • The Federation's Constitution class heavy cruisers are simultaneously inaugurated as the flagships of all of the numbered fleets. Some have been de facto flagships for some time.[1]
  • The Federation's Aurora colony disappears mysteriously after sending a report of a very unusual cosmic storm. Every starship in the sector is sent to investigate but finds nothing; the entire Aurora system has disappeared: star, planets, asteroids, bases, colonists — everything! The Federation Council attempts a cover-up, but the news leaks. The resignation of pro-exploration members of the Council delays such exploration for decades. A century will pass before Aurora is found in the Omega Octant.[1]

2531

Y131

2532

Y132

2534

Y134

2535

Y135

  • Hydrans from the Lost Colonies under King Hydraxan XI attack the Klingon satellites over the Hydran planets. In a swift campaign lasting only a few weeks, the Hydran Kingdom is restored. The personal popularity of Hydraxan XI makes him "unacceptable" to the guilds, and he dies under mysterious circumstances. While Hydraxan XII ascends the throne, the guilds solidify their power.[1]
  • The Kzinti field the first battle tug, which defeats an Orion attack on a convoy.[1]

2536

Y136

2537

Y137

2539

Y139

2541

Y141

  • The Third Hydran-Klingon War ends. The Hydrans have gained no territory but have regained their self-respect. For reasons that remain obscure, four new kings take the throne in less than a year. The last, Hydraxan XVI, lasts for two years.[1]

2542

Y142

2543

Y143

2544

Y144

2545

Y145

  • Kzinti renegades (of a neo-samurai cult) raid Allen's Planet, slaughtering all 3,000 colonists with the exception of one Human infant, William S. Gerard, whom they take with them. The Marquis (the Kzinti noble in charge of the Federation border) captures and executes the renegades to preserve peace, but he cannot return Gerard without explaining what the samurai had planned to do with him. Gerard is raised as a son of his own house.[1]
  • A revolt in the Lyran Star Empire's Dark Star County results in a democratic government still loyal to the Lyran Empire.[1]

2546

Y146

  • A Hydran "civil war" begins, but all combat will take place within the palace over the next five years.[1]

2549

Y149

  • A Klingon-Tholian Incident occurs. A Klingon fleet slips into Tholian territory to capture a patrol corvette and the secret of web technology, but Tholian ships surround the Klingons, and the captured ship must be abandoned during the retreat.[1]

2552

Y152

  • Hydraxan XXIII ("The Great") ascends the throne, which he will hold for almost two decades.[1]

2553

Y153

2554

Y154

2555

Y155

2556

Y156

2557

Y157

  • A Gorn-Federation "war" starts as the result of a small incident where two brash young captains shoot first and face embarrassing questions later.[6] Both fleets mobilize, but no space combat takes place. The Romulans attempt to disrupt treaty negotiations,[7] but the "war" ends six weeks later with the Treaty of Algoran. The Federation apologizes for entering the territory of the previously unknown Gorn, while the Gorn pay reparations for the colony destroyed in a ground raid and imprison an officer who used excessive force.[1]
  • The Fifth Hydran-Lyran War begins.[1]
  • The Lyran Civil War ends abruptly.[1]
  • The Klingons launch an abortive attack on the Lyran Democratic Republic.[1]

2558

Y158

  • The Fourth Klingon-Kzinti War begins. Citing their treaty, the Hydrans almost immediately launch an attack against the Klingon border squadrons.[1]
  • The Lyrans join the Klingons in fighting the Hydrans and Kzinti. This is known as the Four Powers War and is regarded as a prelude to the later General War. All previous wars had been small (mostly consisting of border raids) but new logistical systems developed in this war (notably the semi-portable "mobile base") will make actual invasions of enemy territory possible. Fighters are deployed by the Kzinti in large numbers for the first time, establishing the concept of "attrition units" which make it possible to fight savage battles without losing quite so many ships that take years to build.[1]
  • The Federation, anxious to reduce the threat posed by the Klingons, shifts fleet units to the Klingon border and discusses a limited action with the Organians to restore the balance of power. This is, however, a hoax intended to influence the Klingons to negotiate an immediate settlement to end the war, as the Federation would never consider military power as a solution to the problem. The plan backfires.[1]

2559

Y159

  • The Klingon-Romulan Treaty of Smarba signed. Klingons begin supplying advanced technology to the Romulans, allowing the conversion of old Warbirds into War Eagles. These increase pressure on the Federation border. The Federation transfers ships back from the Klingon border to the Romulan border. This allows the Klingons to transfer ships to fight the Kzinti. The Federation's attempt to use the "threat of force" as a substitute for simple force has failed and planted the seeds of the General War.[1]

  • Kumerian and the Destruction are sent to the prestigious Tholian Border Squadron, where he serves as commander of the 2nd Fighting Division. He destroys the Tholian 3rd Patrol Squadron after it forms a pinwheel; he is promoted to commodore in command of the Squadron. In the flagship Darkslayer, he leads a demonstration attack against a Tholian base.[16] Threlvis Kren, an officer under Kumerian's command, starts an incident with the Tholians that backfires. Needing a scapegoat to quiet Federation complaints, the Klingons pick Kumerian. He is stripped of his position as commodore, but is allowed to retain his rank as captain and command of his original ship Destruction. The ship is sent to the Western Fleet. Korath replaces Kumerian in command of the Tholian Border Squadron.[1]
  • The Romulans attempt (with Klingon help) to ambush the Gorn cruiser Reptilicon fails when the ships enter Federation territory and the Federation command cruiser Lexington intervenes.[1]
  • Deth O'Kay's ship, the [[Hammerfield (SFU)|Hammerfield[[ (an Orion Pirate heavy cruiser), attacks a convoy.[1]

2568

Y168

Y168 On the Tholian border, the Federation destroyer Ares is destroyed. Excalibur rescues the crew (SH59) from Tholian slavery. The Federation CC Excalibur , the Klingon D7C Darkslayer , the Tholian CA Arrrakk , and the Orion raider Gossamer Phoenix defeat the extragalac- tic Juggernaut. The Darkslayer is destroyed, but Korath is given the new Direslayer and a Federa- tion commendation. Korath has, however, sworn revenge against Federation Captain Gray for call- ing him a coward during the battle. The General War begins when war erupts on the Ly- ran-Kzinti border. This is at first known as the Fifth Lyran-Kzinti War. Technology improves during the course of the war.

2569

Y169

Y169 Klingons join Lyrans and declare war on Kzintis. Korath, the Direslayer , and the Tholian Border Squadron deploy to the Kzinti border where Korath eventually becomes an admiral commanding that sector. The Hydrans launch a preemptive strike on the Lyr- ans and begin their attempted breakthrough to Federation territory. William S. Gerard serves as an “observer” with the Kzinti fleet, where he exhibits his skill as a fighter pilot. To atone for his failure and to gain revenge against the Federation, Kumerian raids Sherman’s Planet where he personally leads Marines in hand-to- hand combat. Klingons begin construction of the B10 battleship Invincible and obtain mauler technology from the Romulans. ISC forces defeat a Romulan squadron and make ini- tial contact with the Gorns. The Federation tries to capture the pirate raider cruiser Berol Turquoise , but the pirate cruiser Hammerfield intervenes.

2570

Y170

Y170 Klingon D6 battlecruiser Destruction mutinies and is interned at Federation Starbase 16. It is returned to Klingons the next year. The Klingons are out- raged that the Federation dismantled the Ubitron Interface Module and want to declare war, but are restrained by the Organians. Kumerian, captain of the Destruction , is demoted in disgrace and sent to command the penal frigate Insufferable . His son, Kollos, graduates from the Deep Space Fleet Academy but is refused a naval commission. He transfers to the Internal Security (Police) Forces. The Kzintis attack the Klingon carrier Berserker (SH15). The Klingon advance into Hydran territory depends on a tenuous supply line (SH18).

2571

Y171

Y171 The Organians disappear. Several empires are blamed for this, but none know the true situation. Klingons declare war on the Federation and attack the border with hundreds of ships. (It is unknown if the Klingons took advantage of the Organian de- parture or if the Organians left because they knew the Klingons were going to start a major war.) The Federation cruiser Hood is reported destroyed by three Klingon cruisers (SH19), but the saucer re- turns to Federation lines in Y174. Under pressure from the invading Klingons, the Orion semiautonomous zone within the Federation briefly declares its independence and neutrality.

Y172 The Federation responds to the Klingon attack with raids by new carriers. Federation fleets are sent to assist the Kzintis, and a Federation expedition (Operation Hydra) unsuccessfully attempts to reach the Hydrans. In an unusual case, a group of pirates is trapped between Klingon and Federa- tion fleets (SH61) fighting on the border. Deth O’Kay carries a contract cargo to Hydran terri- tory; he is betrayed and attacked by the Hydrans, but wins.

Deth O’Kay is cap- tured by Stocker but rescued by his own ship and resumes his command.

2574

Y174

Y174 The Gorns ally with the Federation. The General War has now reached virtually complete escalation. The Grand Alliance (Gorn-Federation-Kzinti) fleets battle Coalition (Romulan-Klingon-Lyran) fleets. Hydrans have co-belligerent status with the Grand Alliance but are not formal allies. Orions begin operating against the Grand Alliance, using unprecedented numbers of ships.

2575

Y175

Y175 The Klingon D7C Demonslayer mutinies (SH62). Klingons trap a Federation fleet in a stasis field; Rear Admiral John “Cracker Jack” Radey and his car- rier group rescue them (SH81). Federation Police Commissioner Robert Scorpio or- ders the construction of the first Federation police carrier. Black Eagles Prime Team disrupts dangerous spy op- erations on Data Processing Station 119.

2576

Y176

Y176 Alliance forces recapture large areas of Federation territory, reaching the Tholian border and cutting off contact between the Klingons and their Romu- lan allies. The Tholians tentatively accept mem- bership in the Grand Alliance. ISC begins incursions into Romulan and Gorn terri- tory. These increase over time.

2577

Y177

Y177 Vulkalis Kurlak, commander of the Tholian Border Squadron, finds himself as a fleet commander with- out ships in a backwater of the war. Amassing hun- dreds of fighters, he attacks the Tholians, expos- ing their weakness. Exploiting his success, the Coalition launches “Operation Nutcracker” to de- stroy the Tholians once and for all.

Y178 The Neo-Tholian 312th Battle Squadron arrives. Af- ter these ships get into action, “Operation Nut- cracker” begins to break down (SH22). Direct contact between Klingons and Romulans is bro- ken and will never be reestablished. This causes serious logistical problems for the Romulans; they can no longer obtain an adequate supply of spare parts for their Klingon-built ships, and there is in- sufficient Romulan production available to make up for the lost shipments.
