Events[]

stardate 2286.0
The Klingon Empire's F5GB-subclass commando frigate, a variant of the QuD-class bird-of-prey, enters service. In particular, the F5GB was a refit of the F5G-subclass with uprated deflector shields. All F5G frigate vessels would eventually be modified in this manner.[6]

Promotions and transfers[]

Admiral Kirk was very specific about demoting Captain Decker to commander and giving himself a nominal demotion to captain in order to facilitate his takeover of command. However, in TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: The Voyage Home, no such move is made to demote Captain Spock, who is coincidentally made Kirk's first officer and science officer.
