EventsEdit

• Hiram Roth is re-elected to serve a second term as President of the United Federation of Planets, winning by a landslide. On the day the results are announced, Roth dies unexpectantly. A special election is held within one month as per the Articles of the Federation, and Ra-ghoratreii of Efros is elected. ^{[citation needed]}
• Pavel Chekov is captured by the Anjiri-Nykuss. He is rescued but decides to return to his position on the Enterprise-A. ^{[citation needed]}

Promotions and TransfersEdit

• At the request of Captain Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov transfers to the USS Excelsior as first officer, but returns to the Enterprise-A before the Excelsior actually gets underway. ^{[citation needed]}
• Captain Sulu also requests that newly-promoted Lieutenant Commander Janice Rand be assigned to the Excelsior as communications officer. She accepts and will remain at that post for the rest of her career. ^[1][2][3]

In the DC Comics story Tests of Courage and all DC stories featuring the Excelsior crew that followed, Rand is referred to as Sulu's first officer.
