* The [[52nd Fleet]] coalesces far beyond the old borders of the Federation thanks to the [[Subspace River]]

* The [[USS Mithrandir]] is attacked during a diplomatic mission and her crew offloaded. The crew later regains control and makes its way back to Geneva with many casualties.

* The [[USS Boudicca|Boudicca]] is attacked by two ships loyal to Admiral Doenitz.

* The [[USS Paladin (NCC-52776)|USS ''Paladin'']] attacks and seizes the [[Gamma Sigma System]], a strategically important system controlled by [[Admiral Doenitz]]'s forces.

* Several other small battles are fought, ship-to-ship. Only one large battle is fought, near Starbase Geneva, which results in the destruction of a dozen ships and the capture of several others. This battle is looked upon favorably by the Klingons, and the Ambassador [[Miador Tane]], a former Ambassador to the Klingons and part of the 52nd's rebellion, is sent to Qo'Nos for negotinations.

* The [[Klingon Empire]] officially declares War on Admiral Doenitz's Regime and joins Admiral LoDona in his crusade. Klingon ships begin pouring into 52nd Controlled Space in the weeks that follow.

* Admiral Doenitz disbands the Federation Senate, disposes the President of the Federation, and declares himself "President Doenitz"

* The [[Battle of System 663]] is fought resulting in [[Pyrrhic Victory]] for the [[52nd Fleet]].  Then Lieutenant Commander [[Edward Wolfe]] was Strategic Operations Officer.

* Doenitz begins a campaign of war against Andoria, Betazed, Vulcan, Tellar. See [[Battle of Andoria]] for more information and the result of these battles.
