The USS Farragut docks at Starbase 11 for repairs, but is called away to the Klingon agricultural colony on Signi Beta. Together with the USS Enterprise and the IKS Klothos, they repel the Narr. (TOS novel: Treaty's Law)
The USS Enterprise conducts a survey of Delta Canaris IV. (TOS novel: The Klingon Gambit)

People[]

Births and deaths[]

Janice Rand gives birth to a daughter, Annie Rand. Unfortunately, Annie died of an unspecified illness two years later, and Janice decided to return to Starfleet. Although the child's father was never known, Janice may have believed it to have been the evil transporter duplicate of Captain Kirk. ^[2]^[3]

Note: Date is pure conjecture. A high probability also exists that Annie's birth took place in 2267, as Janice Rand's last TOS appearance took place in 2266, with a few appearances in novels set in early 2267.

D'Amato is killed at the Kalandan Outpost.^[4]
