In President sh’Rothress' day, the institution that had once boasted as many as thirteen committees had been whittled down to nine.
These were Foreign Affairs, Defense, Commerce, Interplanetary Affairs, Science, Standards, Education, Justice, and Membership.

"It is hard to reconcile the Klingon Empire of Gallant Opera, honour codes and Bloodwine with the cold, sober and arbitrary violence of the Sturkan Regime. And yet, both are borne from the same fruit." - Siobhan Tilly

Skygowan, despite lying at the far edge of explored space in the 2260s, still saw an attempt at both Federation and Klingon political infiltration during this period. Neither party saw much success due to an inability to engage with with the planet's theocratic political culture.

Despite the end of monetary capitalism, non-state engineering companies - closer to cooperatives than their pre-modern namesakes - still played a vital role in Starfleet contracting and construction.

Admiral Pasalk, 2261. Pasalk would retire as head of the Judicial Office in late 2261, citing health concerns. Leaked correspondence in 2263 revealed that he was asked to resign by the JAG after multiple concerns about pro-Vulcan bias were verified through trial records.

D9 "Pocket Battleships", 2261. Designed in the late 2250s, the D9 was a failed attempt by the Imperial Navy to create a independent raider capable of outgunning Starfleet capital ships. It would later find a role as a supporting vessel in the battle line alongside the B1, B2 and B10 battleships.

Erica Barreuco, 16th President of the United Federation of Planets (2254-58). Sometimes consider the "last of the Archerites", Barreuco's strong position on infrastructure expansion and internal trade reform was wiped out by her poor leadership during and after the 2256-57 Klingon War.

A rural Klingon is being shown around the first city by his brother, who is trying to impress him with his wealth.
First, they go to the chief market, where the city brother buys the finest clothes for his nephews and nieces. The rural brother is unmoved. "How will they wear this in the fields?"

A human couple is on their way to the Klingon homeworld. They ask an old Klingon warrior sitting near them, "is pronounced Kronos or Q'onos?" He immediately kills them both, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the passengers.

USS Singapore firing a warning shot, Summer 2262. The Qingdao class 'fast cruisers' were a pre-war class of patrol ships, ostensibly designed to replace the Pioneer with Tactical Command. Fifteen were built between 2254 and 2263.

M'Talas Prime - a corruption of the old Orion name, Ma'talk Elas - is a last vestige of the Orion Empire. The former "treaty port" stood at the boundary between Orion territory and the Vegan Tyranny; by the 23rd century, however, it slumped into uncomfortable but profitable neutrality.

Though the original Ventura design dates back to the late 2230s, various mid-life refits in the late 40s and early 50s allowed the scout to remain in service until 2268, when it was retired from the short-range patrol role.
