## Events

* Early this year, Starfleet learns that the Romulan star is going to go supernova. (*PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*)

February

* **06 February**: A lone Borg Cube emerges from a transwarp conduit near the Azure Nebula. A Starfleet armada dispatches it before it can reach Starbase 234.

*This event represents a point of divergence from the* Destiny *timeline.*
Summer
* By mid-year, the entire production apparatus at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards is redirected towards building ships for the Romulan relief effort. This includes refitting and construction of more *Wallenberg*-class transports, but also the creation of a new fleet of rescue ships. (*PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*)
* With all Utopia Planitia projects deemed non-essential to the rescue mission shut down or otherwise put on indefinite hold, the entire Theoretical Propulsion Group, including Dr. Leah Brahms, relocate to the Daystrom Institute.

*Conjecture, extrapolated from* The Last Best Hope*,* The Light Fantastic *and "All Good Things..."*
September;
* Around this time, the Trill symbiont Til is joined to host Valan Nilel. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: Episode 1)

November

* Deep Space 4 detects an anomaly in the Typhon Expanse. The USS *Raleigh* is dispatched to investigate, and discovers what appears to be a stable wormhole. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: Episode 1)
* **7 November**: Contact with the *Raleigh* is lost. The ship's last message to DS4 indicated their first officer and pilot were lost after exploring the other side. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: Episode 1)
* **19 November (stardate 58884.2)**: Following a refit, the *Nova*-class USS *Solstice* launches from drydock at Earth with skeleton crew on a shakedown cruise, under orders from Admiral Pascal to pick up additional personnel at Deep Space 5, then proceed to the Typhon Expanse in search of the *Raleigh*. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: Episode 1)
* *En route* to DS5, the *Solstice* responds to a distress call from the FMS *Matador*, and finds most of the ship's crew missing, with the three personnel who remained behind deceased through asphyxiation. The *Solstice* computer, and Lt. T'Rue's ocular implant are infected by a Neuronet Algorithm Reconnaissance AI program. The crew makes contact with the artificial lifeform, which had accidentally shut off the *Matador'*s life support systems while acting in self-defense. NARA submits to Federation justice and is placed in a segregated holodeck system until they can be transferred safely to Deep Space 5 for trial, with the *Solstice* crew promising to advocate on their behalf. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: "Episode 2: Nara")
* **22 November (stardate 58892.4)**: The *Solstice* arrives at Deep Space 5. While awaiting additional personnel, the crew present are granted shore leave. Lt. Commander Reginald Barclay arrives shortly thereafter, seconded from Jupiter Station to assess NARA. (*Star Trek Adventures: The Lost Frontier*: "Episode 3: Ashore")

December

* **15 December (stardate 58954.45)**: The USS *Ross* is launched from San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth and departs on a shakedown cruise to the Shackleton Expanse. The journey from Earth to Narendra Station will take nearly three months at warp 7. (*Clear Skies*: "The Stage is Set")
