2162, 20 January [reference stardate 1/0901.20]
In his now-famous "Sighted Man of Peace" address to the Federation
Council, Senior Councilman Abraham Dannon recommends offering a peace
treaty to the Romulans. During the next ten days, advocates of both
view-
points hold heated discussions on the proposition [FASA].
01 February [reference stardate 1/0902.01]
The Federation Council votes on Councilman Dannon's proposal for a
peace
offer. The measure is accepted by a one-vote margin, and is immediately
transmitted via subspace radio to the Romulan Star Empire [FASA].
An Educational Sub-committee of the Military Staff Committee to the
Feder-
ation Council is established. Its responsibilities are to locate a
site
for a Star Fleet Academy on Earth, complete designs for the campus
and
buildings, develop a curriculum, and recommend suitable faculty and
staff
members [SASH].
28 April [reference stardate 1/0904.28]
The Federation Council receives a response from the Romulan Star Empire.
According to their Imperial Senate, the treaty must contain the provisions
that no members of the warring races meet face-to-face, and that no
ships
cross a negotiated Neutral Zone. Additional information on the exact
loc-
ation, dimensions, and restrictions applying to the Neutral Zone are
also
emphatically requested. Councilman Dannon, placed in charge of the
sub-
space negotiations, responds within one week [FASA].
01 May [reference stardate 1/0905.01]
The Battle of Cheron is fought in Romulan space between two squadrons
of
Federation ships and remnants of four Romulan groups. The battle ends
inconclusively when neither side has any combat-capable ships remaining.
This battle marks the U.F.P.'s last opportunity to organize a fleet
strong
enough to reach the supposed location of the Romulan homeworld. It
is
considered a victory nevertheless, because the Romulans lose more than
the
Federation. Admiral Alex Hamilton, commander of the flagship "Hannibal"
of the "Marshall" class, announces the end of the Romulan War.
Dr. Mordecai Challah urges reconsideration for a Code 1 Priority Research
effort to discover the cause and a cure for a new medical affliction
resulting from the war effort: rapid-growth cancer of the skin and
skeletal structure apparently from Romulan laser bombardment [FASA,
SFC,
TNG 158].
Dandridge and Torriente will later publish accounts of the Romulan War
to be studied at the Star Fleet Academy [MBK #1].
In the "Mirror" universe, the Romulan War ends in victory for the empire
at a battle near the boundaries of the Romulan Federation. On the brink
of extinction, the Romulans surrender to Joachim's regime [TBoT #14].
15 May
In the "Mirror" universe, there is no negotiation with the Imperials,
no
Treaty of Algeron, and no Neutral Zone. Imperial vessels batter their
way
through the last of the Romulans' defenses to the Romulan homeworlds.
Using perfected Romulan weapons such as the molecular disassociator,
the
smaller Romulan world is broken up. The Imperials then offer a choice:
become a subject world of the Earth Empire, supply their natural
resources, workers, and be allowed to continue living. On the eve of
the
deadline to their answer, the Romulans commit mass suicide. The Empire
dispatches a colony ship from Earth [GN 15].
17 June [reference stardate 1/0906.17]
Stranded for seven months on what is now known as Baker's World, the
crew-
men from the U.S.S. "Cavalier" are picked up by the U.S.S. "Lorelei"
with-
out having suffered any casualties. For his skill and leadership, Lt.
Lawrence David Baker receives the Star Fleet Commendation of Valor
and
a promotion, as well as becoming an immediate media hero [FASA].
Other Human survivors will not be as lucky. A small group of Humans
from
this era will be secretly raised by Romulans, even surgically altered
to
appear Romulan, and used to covertly serve the Empire [GN 3].
28 July [reference stardate 1/0907.28]
The Romulans communicate with the Federation government and insist
on
additional terrestrial gains for the Romulan Star Empire. In
exchange, they are willing to accept higher restrictions on Neutral
Zone outposts. Dannon reluctantly makes many of the necessary
concessions, and Federation Council President Thorpe ratifies the
completed Treaty of Peace. The treaty is transmitted to the Romulan
Star Empire [FASA].
stardate 1200.5 [Y 46]
The Romulan War ends with the Treaty of Alpha Trianguli (Algeron?),
between Praetor Karzan of the Romulan Star Empire and Cristofur
Thorpe, Governor of the Federation Council of the U.F.P. It is the
first treaty in U.F.P. history to be negotiated entirely by data
upload over subspace radio (Frequency K) [SFB, TOS
#35, TNG 158, TM, STM,
BT, ST 1].
09 September [reference stardate 1/0909.09]
The Imperial Senate of the Romulan Star Empire broadcasts its ratification
of the Treaty of Peace on all subspace frequencies. The message is
picked
up by Federation starships along the border, and the treaty terms go
into
immediate effect. After 17 years of piratical attacks and declared
host-
ilities, the Romulan War is finally over after staggering losses on
both
sides [FASA].
10 September [reference stardate 1/0909.10]
The Romulan Neutral Zone, an egg-shaped area of space 10 light years
in width, 750 parsecs along the galactic longitudinal plane and
extending to the outer boundary of the galaxy in the vertical plane,
with 128 Trianguli at the center, is established and construction
begins on asteroid outposts bordering on the Zone. A period of withdrawal
permitted by the treaty will last until July of 2165. All invading
U.F.P.
and Romulan forces begin retreating at maximum warp speed to their
respective sides of the new boundary [TM, STM, FASA].
October [reference stardate 1/0910]
Peace reigns, but the Orion Colonies know that the Klingon Empire will
soon discover the existence of the Federation. The Colonies sign
non-aggression and trade treaties with the Federation, but still
remain outside the U.F.P. [FASA].
At this time, realizing that they are technologically outclassed and
outnumbered, and that they have no hope of winning a prolonged conflict,
the Romulans consolidate along the new U.F.P.-Romulan Neutral Zone.
They
begin major construction of outposts to keep track of Federation forces
and keep them in check. Just homeward of these outposts, forces for
future expansion into Federation territory are built [FASA].
The Federation Wars ended, the Romulan Praetorial system is rearranged,
establishing a council of representatives and a less-centralized power.
The council will rule for nearly 40 years, during which the Romulans
will know prosperity and scientific advancements will be unmatched
in
their history. The standard of living will improve, Romulan cultures
will flourish, and there will be talk of approaching the U.F.P. to
open relations. But during this period the Romulans will be attacked
by
a civilization on the opposite side of U.F.P. space (the Gorns?) and
sudden, heavy losses will be suffered. The council will be blamed (too
much peace, not enough preparedness). The council will be dissolved
and
the Praetorship re-established, with one individual again in power
[GN 3].
Atomic warfare rips away the atmosphere of Alpha Xaridian IV, obliterating
the populance [TOS #59].
Dohlman Kiyaan, fourteenth of the line of Sevuth, reigns on the planet
Elas. She will reign for only three Elasian years until the revolt
of the
Snake Clans [TOS #68].
The Rey of Gullrey begin their era of long-range space exploration
[TOS #67].
By this time, the Klingons have begun to perfect shipboard disruptor
technology, which they are deploying throughout their fleet. With the
Romulan War now over, the Orions now realize that the U.F.P. and the
Klingon Empire must eventually encounter one another. At this moment,
however, the Klingon military is occupied with raids against the
weakened Romulan border. The Orions nevertheless fear that the
Klingons will soon turn their attention again in the direction of
Rigel and her interstellar holdings. Realizing that any contact
between the U.F.P. and the Klingon Empire must inevitably lead to armed
conflict, the Orions hastily negotiate several non-aggression and
trade treaties with the U.F.P., but still do not join the Federation
[FASA].
Within the next century, rumors of a race called the Narr become known
to the U.F.P. There are no actual records of contacts with them, nor
is there any idea of where their homeworld is located or even what
they
look like [DoH #4].
