Constitution class[1]

Construction on the Constitution class Starship Saratoga[Notes 1] was authorized by the Starfleet Appropriation of Stardate 3220.[2] The Saratoga, constructed to Mark II specifications, was commissioned on Reference Stardate 2/0105[Notes 2] (May 2259).[3] Winston Driveon served aboard the Saratoga from Reference Stardate 2/05-2/11 (2263-2269).[4] On Reference Stardate 2/0410 (October 2262) the Saratoga was refit to Mark III specifications, then again on Reference Stardate 2/1202 (February 2270) to Mark IV specifications. The Saratoga was placed in an inactive reserve fleet on Reference Stardate 2/2006 (June 2278).[3]

Notes

  1. The registry listed for the Saratoga in the "Federation Ship Recognition Manual," NCC-1720, conflicts with that given in the "Star Fleet Technical Manual," NCC-1724, as well as that of the U.S.S. Lafayette NCC-1720, and must be disregarded. Additionally, a second Constitution class Starship Saratoga, with the same registry number, was listed in the "Federation Ship Recognition Manual," but that entry conflicted with the Miranda class U.S.S. Saratoga NCC-1937 seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and must also be disregarded.
  2. 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.
