The 23rd century, defined in the calendar of Earth as being from 2201 until 2300, was a period of expansion for the Federation, with Humans and other founding species, such as Vulcans, at the forefront of exploration. The long-running conflict with the Klingons, begun in the 22nd century, was a major topic of this century's history, as was the rekindling of tensions with the Romulans. Of particular note are the voyages of the starship Enterprise and the careers of its long-serving command staff under James T. Kirk.
