Constitution class refit[1]

The Constitution class Starship Yorktown was commissioned on Reference Stardate 2/1712[2] (December 2275),[Notes 1] and on Reference Stardate 2/2312 (December 2281) was refit to Mark III specifications.[3] The Yorktown was disabled in Sector 001 by an alien space probe approaching Earth in 2286.[4] Captain Joel Randolph[5] reported that the ship's chief engineer had rigged a makeshift solar sail to provide emergency power for the crippled starship.[4] Shortly thereafter, with the ship needing major repair and overhaul in the wake of the interference with the ship's systems caused by the probe's signal, the crew was reassigned and the ship was redesignated the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A.[6][Notes 2]

Notes

  1. ↑ FASA game materials referred to events by a FASA-specific dating standard called the "Reference Stardate." All dates taken from FASA sources 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. FASA sources give the launch of the Constitution class as Reference Stardate 1/8801.04, which translates to the standard caldendar date of 04 January 2188. This has been established on screen, however, as occurring in 2245. As the exact month and date remain unstated in other sources, those remain the same, but the year has been adjusted to 2245, giving a modified date of 04 January 2245. This can then also be converted into the pre-TOS stardate system established in Star Trek (2009), giving us a stardate of 2245.004.
  2. ↑ There are several conflicting sources for which ship became the Enterprise-A. FASA game materials stated that the U.S.S. Atlantis NCC-1786 was the ship that was rechristened, while Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise stated that the ship was named the U.S.S. Ti-Ho. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, however, stated that the ship in question was, in fact, the U.S.S. Yorktown, which was seen earlier in Star Trek IV. Given the stronger canonical links of the Technical manual over the other book, and the priority of books over game materials in conflict resolution for this site, the conflict is resolved in favor of the Yorktown.
