  • RSD 1/08: The Bradley class space tank is commissioned. Carrying a crew of 8, the class will remain in service until 2129.[1]

February

22nd Century Romulan starship (FASA2011)
  • RSD 1/0802: Continuing their advance into Federation space, individual Romulan ships form "wolf packs" to attack Federation transports. Three escorted Federation convoys are attacked and destroyed in this way. Officials believe the Romulans are hijacking the cargoes before destroying the transports; as they press deeper into Federation space, the Romulans are becoming desperately in need of supplies.[2]

April

May

  • RSD 1/0805.02 (2 May): Headed for the Triangle, a Romulan armada of 60 ships attacks three Federation squadrons near Gamma Hydra. Though Federation forces are substantially outnumbered, casualties are extremely heavy on both sides. Star Fleet's new tactics match Romulan ferocity, leaving both fleets badly depleted and exhausted. The Romulans force a Federation retreat, and they resume course for the Triangle. The 132nd Strike Squadron, under the command of Admiral William Larson, reinforces the battered Federation forces and repulses the Romulan armada. Thiis battle seriously weakens Star Fleet, but it also prevents the formation of a major Romulan fleet in the Triangle. Excluding isolated, small-scale engagements, the Triangle remains Romulan-free for the remainder of the war.[2]

July

  • RSD 1/0807: Four Romulan squadrons bombard Alpha Omega B with "star bomb" missiles, rendering the planet uninhabitable. Two Romulan squadrons performing diversionary tactics are wiped out by local defense squadrons, but more than 20 thousand military and civilian personnel are killed in the main attack. This marks the Romulans' deepest penetration into Federation space.[1][2]

Septemer

  • RSD 1/0809: Shortages of personnel, starships, and supplies reach critical levels for both Federation and Romulan forces, as both fleets force deep penetrations into their opposing governments' territory. Numerous raids and battle losses make it increasingly difficult for either side to form effective formations and continue the war.[2]

November

22nd Century Romulan starship (FASA2011)
  • RSD 1/0811.01 (1 November): While on an exploration and survey mission in the Triangle, the U.S.S. Cavalier is ambushed by Romulan cruisers in a newly-discovered planetary system. After destroying the ship, the Romulan vessels move off without bothering to examine the system. A twelve-man landing party, under the command of Lieutenant Lawrence David Baker, is stranded there.[2]
  • RSD 1/0811.25 (25 November): A Federation fleet of five squadrons stumbles on a major Romulan base at Manarram, dealing the enemy its first true defeat. More than 30 Romulan cruisers and gunboats, manned only by skeleton crews during resupply operations, are destroyed in orbit before they can fire a shot. Six Star Fleet vessels are lost in the engagement when the planetary base destroys itself after its shields are seriously damaged. The loss to the Romulan fleet is crippling, and the Romulan war effort never fully recovers. This is the deepest penetration of Federation forces into Romulan Space.[4][2]
  • RSD 1/0811.30 (30 November): One full sector of the battle zone is placed under a strict media blackout as Operation Golden Pheasant is carried out. The purpose of the exercise is to move a partially-constructed prototype battlecruiser, the U.S.S. Juggernaut. Built by Star Fleet Engineering Command, the Juggernaut is transported from its previous location at a base near the Federation border to a more secure naval shipyard at Andor.[2]
