Constitution class[1]

The Constitution class Starship Yorktown[Notes 1] was commissioned on Reference Stardate 1/9005 (May 2247),[Notes 2] and refit to Mark III specifications on Reference Stardate 2/0308 (August 2261).[2] The Yorktown was commanded by Captain Evan Foster from 2254 through 2269, and the ship patrolled between the Klingon border and Theta VII.[3] On Reference Stardate 1/96 (2253), Michael Pollard completed his second cadet cruise aboard the Yorktown. Henri Beaujolais also served aboard from Reference Stardate 2/07-2/08 (2265-2267).[4] The Yorktown was scheduled to rendezvous with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in 2267 to transfer critically needed vaccines for Theta VII; the Enterprise was unable to make the rendezvous with the Yorktown until the investigation and destruction of the Dikironium cloud creature was complete.[5] Elias Hodgkins served aboard the Yorktown from Reference Stardate 2/09-2/11 (2267-2269).[4] The Yorktown was scrapped on Reference Stardate 2/1102 (February 2269).[2]

Notes

  1. The Yorktown's registry given in the "Federation Ship Recognition Manual, NCC-1717, was also used for a later ship of the same name, and has been disregarded; to avoid this conflict, the registry from the "Star Fleet Technical Manual" has been used instead.
  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.
