2255
Multiple realities
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Events
Prime reality
By starship or station
- Captain Matthew Decker finishes his second five-year mission aboard the Constellation. (PIC: "The Star Gazer" commemorative plaque [1](X))
- James T. Kirk leaves Starfleet Academy. He is assigned to the phaser station aboard the USS Farragut. (TOS: "Obsession")
- On his first planetary survey mission, Lieutenant Kirk visits the planet Neural, where he meets Tyree. (TOS: "A Private Little War")
According to the Star Trek Chronology, James T. Kirk would have been stationed on the USS Farragut during his mission to Tyree's planet.
Other events
- The Sheliak attempt to communicate with the Federation, something they will not do again until 2366. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
Alternate reality
By starship or station
- The USS Enterprise undergoes construction at the Riverside Shipyard in Iowa. (Star Trek)
Other events
- Several Starfleet Academy cadets, including Nyota Uhura and Hendorff, spend some time in Riverside. (Star Trek)
- James T. Kirk gets in a bar fight with Hendorff and three other cadets at the Shipyard Bar in Riverside. The fight is broken off by Captain Christopher Pike, who later talks to Kirk about joining Starfleet by reciting the incident resulting in the destruction of the USS Kelvin and his father, daring him to do better. The next day, Kirk boards the military shuttle Bardeen, enlisting in Starfleet. (Star Trek)
- Leonard McCoy gets divorced from his wife and enlists in Starfleet, boarding the same transport as Kirk, resulting in a friendship between the two. (Star Trek)
Mirror universe
- The Terran Empire's new flagship, the ISS Charon, is launched from the Imperial Shipyard at Epsilon Indi IV. (DIS: "Terra Firma, Part 1")
- Gabriel Lorca and Michael Burnham begin their attempted coup d'état against Emperor Philippa Georgiou. (DIS: "Terra Firma, Part 1")
No date is given for these events, but given that Lorca's co-conspirators spent almost two years in agony booths after the failed coup (as seen in "What's Past Is Prologue", set in late 2256 or early 2257), the coup presumably began in mid-2255.
