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] The Yorktown was destroyed on Reference Stardate 2/3808 (August 2296).[3]

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.
