Changes: 2260s

Revision as of 14:30, 17 September 2012

The 2260s was a significant decade in Federation history. The five-year mission of the Federation starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk's command (which ended in 2270) occurred in this time period.

The Kolvoord Starburst is banned at Starfleet Academy around this time following an accident in which all five cadets attempting to perform the maneuver were killed. (TNG: "The First Duty")
The future groundskeeper of Starfleet Academy, Boothby, was born in this decade. (TNG: "The First Duty")
Prior to assuming command of the USS Enterprise in 2265, Captain James T. Kirk is given his first command by Starfleet. Captain Kirk asked Gary Mitchell to join him. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")

According to The Making of Star Trek, this first command was a Destroyer class ship.
