Rodney Maremaunt, of the Maremaunt Corporation, is chosen as the target.
• RSD 2/2207.01 (1 July): Operation Grand Deterrence, a second large-scale fleet maneuver, begins under the command of Commodore G.X. Ilanenko.

• RSD 2/2209.27 (27 September): Admiral Kirk and his party leave Vulcan in the Klingon Bird of Prey. The group is bound for Earth, where all except the resurrected Spock face court-martial for the theft and destruction of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.
