YEAR

EVENT

1
End of the Federation/Dominion war. Star Fleet loses 1/3 of its combat fleet. The Dominion withdraws to their side of the wormhole.

2 - 4
Federation/Romulan War. Romulans cross the Federation/Romulan border in attempt to take advantage of the weakness caused by the Federation/Dominion war. Initially, the Romulans make great gains, capturing numerous key systems. The Federation economy responds, roaring to life. Starship production reaches new heights. Midway through year 3 the Romulan advance is stopped and the Romulans are slowly pushed back towards their home space. The Sendarian Accords, signed in Y4, restore the neutral zone and declares a cease fire. Last known contact with the Borg until Y33.

5 - 10
A general cooling off period. The Dominion builds a space station on their side of the Bajoran wormhole, outlawing all traffic through the wormhole. The Federation responds by converting DS9 into a Star Base and basing the 5th Fleet there.

10 - 13
First Klingon/Mirak war. Fighting is bitter but inconclusive. Klingons gain 3 systems from the Mirak.

13 - 15
Orion Pirates deemed a serious threat the the Romulan Star Empire. Travel by all Orion ships into Romulan space is completely forbidden. Orion pirates respond by forming organized cartels. Orion pirate activity in the Romulan Empire increases by 300%. During this time, Orion pirates steal Romulan technology, including the highly valuable cloaking device. When the Orions start selling the technology to interested parties, the Romulans quickly negotiate a settlement allowing Orions free access to Romulan space. Though the Orions never sell the cloaking device technology, cloaking devices are installed on most Orion ships.

14 - 17
Second Klingon/Mirak War. The Mirak regain the 3 systems they lost.

18 - 22
First General War. Cardassians, Romulans and Dominion form a strategic alliance called the RDC. Combined forces from this alliance cross into Federation, Klingon, Mirak and Gorn space. The Federation, Klingon and Mirak governments form an alliance in response to the incursion. Though the Gorn often fight within this new alliance, they never officially join it. Some in-fighting between the Klingons and Mirak occurs, but they soon put their differences aside in favor of their common enemy. The First General War is highly destructive for both sides and the results were inconclusive. By the end of the war, all sides had returned to their original borders.

23 - 30
Federation Star Fleet reorganized. New starships are designed to compensate for short comings discovered in the First General War. Starship production increased to new record highs. Most General War Starships mothballed as they are replaced by newer designs. For the first time in Federation peace time history, vessels of war take priority over research and development vessels. By Y30, Star Fleet is completely reorganized, though starship production continues.

31 The USS Yoritomo is sent by RAdm Kwalin (Starfleet Intelligence) to recover the lost starship USS Whitney. It's discovered that Kwalin was secretly researching inter-phase technology, a technology banned within the Federation. Upon returning to Star Base 1, an attempt to arrest Kwalin failed as he had already fled. Kwalin was also believed to be involved in the theft of several mothballed Star Fleet ships. Juggernaut incident occurs, destroying two space stations: one Federation, one Romulan. USS Yoritomo, USS Valley Forge commissioned.

32 Kwalin engineers the theft of the USS Pulsar, the Federation's first battleship. With both the USS Yoritomo and USS Valley Forge damaged beyond immediate repair, both crews team up. In a desperate measure, the museum ship, USS Enterprise-E, was activated and gave chase manned by the combined Yoritomo/Valley Forge crew. Using inter-phase technology to cloak the Enterprise, the joint crew was able to achieve the impossible and recover the Pulsar. USS Philadelphia, USS Avenger, USS Dauntless commissioned. USS Yoritomo destroyed in initial Romulan attack/Star of Second Federation/Romulan War.

33 Second Federation/Romulan War. Forces from the Romulan Star Empire cross the neutral zone and wage war against the United Federation of Planets and the Gorn Confederation. Romulans defeated in the Battle of the Sheridan Nebula by combined fleet. Followed up by Romulan attack on Starbase One. USS Republic, USS Titan, USS Gettysburg commissioned. USS Yoritomo recommissioned.
Stardate 20211.14 the Borg collective returned to the Sol System. Destroyed Romulan attack fleet, Starbase One, San Francisco Shipyards, USS Avenger, USS Valley Forge. Armageddon Directive initiated by FAdm Jonathan Beckett on Stardate 20211.14. Most Federation outposts and Starbases assumed destroyed/assimilated by the Borg. All Star Fleet vessels cut off from the Federation.

34 Borg Invasion continues, all ships operating according to Armageddon Directive. USS Copernicus, USS Agincourt, USS Yeager commissioned in protected shipyard. USS Yoritomo destroyed by the Borg in the Sol System.
Stardate 20305.01 the Borg defeated by a combined force of Klingon, Romulan, Mirak, Tholian, Species 8472 and Federation forces. Starbase Alpha relocated via Tholian Web Technology to the Sol System replacing the lost Starbase One. Armageddon Directive rescinded. USS Drake, USS Sheridan, USS Yeager commissioned.

35 After the end of the Borg Invasion, Federation member worlds have begun to secede from the weakened UFP. The economy has gone into recession and Starfleet struggles to maintain its exploratory and scientific research under the strain of rebuilding. Skirmishes with pirate races further weaken the fleet. Stardate 20412.05 - Alien vessels entered Federation Space in several key locations and engaged Federation forces. USS Cook destroyed, USS Copernicus badly damaged.

36 Alien vessels have left Federation Space having destroyed the USS Clark, USS Cook, USS Kiev, USS Lexington and damaging the USS Drake, USS Copernicus, USS Comet, and USS Gettysburg. Six alien vessels were destroyed, two escaped to parts unknown. USS Comet officially commissioned.

37 The Federation President was murdered by the Changeling Kwalin during an attempted assassination of the entire Federation Council. Kwalin was killed by Starfleet Intelligence Officer Tom Chase, who lost his life trying to stop the attack. The surviving Federation Council, in an emergency session, elected Fleet Admiral Jon Beckett to the position of Federation President. Vice Admiral Talon Merrick of Starfleet Intelligence was appointed Vice President, Former Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Rasmus Benestad was promoted to Fleet Admiral and selected as CINC of Star Fleet and former Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Raymond Gage was appointed as Minister of Diplomatic Affairs. USS Enterprise commissioned.
