Trek Canon Events

Katherine Janeway has been advanced to Vice Admiral following her years on the USS Voyager, and begins serving at Starfleet Command in this year.
The Argo-class shuttlecraft is tested for the first time this year, and is shipped out to all Starfleet vessels rated to carry the craft.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered to Romulus by Starfleet, after a military coup results in a new government being formed, and peace overtures are made towards the Federation. This is discovered to be a ploy by the new Praetor, Shinzon of Remus, to lure the Enterprise to Romulus so that he can capture Picard and use his DNA to stabilise his own dying body. The Enterprise-E is severely damaged by Shinzon's ship during the Battle of the Bassen Rift. Shizon is killed by Picard and the Scimitar is destroyed when the thalaron energy weapon on his ship is overloaded by Lieutenant Commander Data, who is also killed in the process.
Several starships, including the USS Hood, USS Intrepid, USS Valiant, USS Galaxy, USS Aries, USS Nova and USS Archer are diverted to sector 1045 to rendezvous with the Enterprise to form Battle Group Omega. The battle group rendezvouses with the Enterprise following the Battle of the Bassen Rift and toes the Enterprise back to Earth.
William T. Riker is promoted to captain and takes command of the Luna-class USS Titan, and is dispatched to the Romulan Netural Zone in order to begin talks with the Romulans.
