2169, January
The "Hubble" VXT interstellar runabout (construction contract number
116-B) is commissioned with second generation warp drive in January this
decade [GN 3].

The S.S. "Aurora" (NCC-C1200) space cruiser is built. A total of 237
of these six-person, warp 1.6 capacity, ships will be produced by
2180, with over 34 variations on the basic design. The uniform insignia
of the original S.S. "Aurora" may be a half-circle with overlaid
planet in partial eclipse, and departmental oval [ACP, EOM, URM].


Khidri tai-Gensa is born in the Klingon Empire [TOS #16].

The Hebitian burial vaults on the Cardassian homeworld are unearthed
and plundered [TNG 237].

Civil war breaks out on the planet Oriana between the Torlick and
Venturi clans [TNG #24].

[reference stardate 1/17]
A Top Secret prototype spy ship is tested by Star Fleet. It achieves
warp 3.84, the highest velocity to date with its advanced second
generation warp drive and crew of 3 [SFC].

Thortathanal of Andor enters office as the Federation Council
President [FASA].

[Y 56]
The First Lyran-Kzinti War ends [SFB].

2170, March [reference stardate 1/1803]
Ships of the U.F.P. Galactic Cultural Exchange Project complete their
first visit to all Federation member worlds. The flagship is the
U.S.S. "Horok" of the new "Broadway" class, a hybrid ship originally
of the "Merchant" class cargo ships renovated to accommodate the
specific needs of its complement of cultural ambassadors. Over the
decades the "Hurok" and her "Broadway" class sisters will be
uprated to keep pace with the changing warp technology [SFC, FASA].

The North American Indian ancestors of the Dorvan V settlers, led by
Cantowa, leave Earth in order to preserve their cultural identities during
this era [TNG 272].

Roughly during this era, the Abinarri (located in a distant region
of space) begin to spread their gospel of Law by taking control of
star system after star system [TCT #2].

The design style of "studied crudity" becomes popular in the Cardassian
Empire [DSN #5].

03 April [reference stardate 1/1804.03]
Star Fleet's initial network of manned and automated outposts along the
Neutral Zone becomes operational, made possible in part by the "Atlas"
series tug: the first of the warp-driven heavy transport tugs. The system
is expanded and improved during the next 30 years, until most military
theorists consider it impossible for a ship to cross the Zone undetected.

It is assumed that the Romulans created a similar network. This is
supported by the fact that none of the 17 Federation space vessels known
to have penetrated the Neutral Zone have returned [FASA, STD2].

Colony Terra (Alpha) 5 is established on Eta Serpentis IV [STM].

Kavis Alpha, a neutron star, explodes [TNG 150].

U.F.P. impulse engine design changes radically [TNG 230].

"Galliant" class star fighters are withdrawn from service [SFC].

[reference stardate 1/1818]
Most Orion trade families close their operations with the U.F.P., in the
face of Klingon trade vessels returning to the Rigel colonies. Through
masterful timing of ship arrivals, the Orions keep the Klingons and U.F.P.
unaware of each other's presence for many years, despite U.F.P. dis-
pleasure at the closing of many Orion ports [FASA].

(Bajoran Year 9174)
Bajor's greatest poet, Akorem Laan, vanishes after being caught in
an ion storm on his return voyage to Bajor. He will be the first
Bajoran to make contact with the Prophets of the wormhole and
re-emerge over two centuries in the future. Conferring with the
wormhole entities, Captain Sisko will convince the Prophets to
return Akorem to his proper place in time and space [DSN 489].

About this time, Dax eliminates the first of many host candidates.
In the next two centuries, Dax will reject 57 selected hosts [DSN 437].

On Krantin, a mine near the city Jalkor is the richest mine on the entire
planet, partly responsible for Jalkor becoming the largest and most
powerful city [TNG #36].

This is roughly the time in which the city of Malodya is built on
Devernia [TCT #6].

Most old, Irish traditions are forgotten, according to Mari ni Connal
[DSN #5].

2171
Clif, a Trill symbiont, is born [TNG #45].

During this period the legendary Hoard of Dujonian is hidden:
Dujonian, a Cardassian, steals all the Hebitian glor'ya-encrusted
artifacts from a recently unearthed Hebitian tomb. Glor'ya jewels
have properties similar to dilithium but are vastly superior, making
the Hoard all the more valuable for propulsion and weapons systems
[TCT #2].

July [reference stardate 1/1907]
A major, privately operated research station opens on Deneva and
begins scientific investigations into transtater physics [FASA].

The prototype spy ship is withdrawn from service [SFC].

In two hundred years, Captain John Lewinski will enjoy Andorian
blues of this era [GN 22].

At approximately this time in the Delta Quadrant, the Hachi-P'nir War
is responsible for the genocide of planets in an unnamed system on
the edge of the Kuriyar Cluster. The 3rd and 4th planets are reduced to
radioactive cinders and stripped of metals--for use in warship hulls
[V #3].
