2162

  • 20 January
    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 viewpoints hold heated discussions on the proposition.
    [FASA]
  • The Klingons conquer the icy world TaD (“frozen”), making the native Al’Hamatti the status of jeghpu’wI. A satellite is placed in orbit for the Klingon overseers and the planet is mined for its rich deposits of topaline.
    [TNG #061]
  • 01 February
    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]
  • 28 April: 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 location, dimensions, and restrictions applying to the Neutral Zone are also emphatically requested. Councilman Dannon, placed in charge of the subspace negotiations, responds within one week.
    [FASA]
  • 01 May: 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 Federation‘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, TNG-158]
  • Dandridge and Torriente will later publish accounts of the Romulan War to be studied at the Starfleet Academy.
    [TOS #085]
  • Captain Lucian Murat‘s ship, the U.S.S. Verdun, battles the Tarn ship Rashasa in the Torgu-Va system. The Verdun carries a complement of over 918, runs on a Gotherin 8-B computer, has warp 3 potential, and is armed with laser batteries, antimatter torpedoes, plasma bombs, and thermonuclear mines. Both ships are severely damaged and the crews abandon ship, escaping to a habitable planet in the system. The Federation survivors will build a stasis field to extend the life of Captain Murat. The Verdun is officially logged as overdue and presumed lost either due to mechanical failure or hostile action.
    [TNG #057]
  • 17 June: Stranded for seven months on what is now known as Baker’s World, the crewmen from the U.S.S. Cavalier are picked up by the U.S.S. Lorelei without having suffered any casualties. For his skill and leadership, Lieutenant Lawrence David Baker receives the Starfleet Commendation of Valor and a promotion, as well as becoming an immediate media hero.
    [FASA]
  • 28 July: The Romulans communicate with the Federation government and insist on additional territorial 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 President Thorpe ratifies the completed Treaty of Peace. The treaty is transmitted to the Romulan Star Empire.
    [FASA]
  • 04 August: The Romulan War ends with the Treaty of Alpha Trianguli, between Praetor Karzan of the Romulan Star Empire and Cristofur Thorpe, President of the Federation. It is the first treaty in Federation history to be negotiated entirely by data upload over subspace radio (Frequency K).
    [TOS #035, TNG-158, SFTM, STM, TOS-08]
  • 09 September: 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 hostilities, the Romulan War is finally over after staggering losses on both sides.
    [FASA]
  • 10 September: 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 Federation and Romulan forces begin retreating at maximum warp speed to their respective sides of the new boundary.
    [SFTM, STM, FASA]
  • Entry into the Neutral Zone by any Federation vessel will be a violation of interstellar treaty and logged as ‘Prohibited P-091.’
    [STM]
  • October: The Orion Colonies sign non-aggression and trade treaties with the Federation, but still remain outside the Federation.
    [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 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]
  • Atomic warfare rips away the atmosphere of Alpha Xaridian IV, obliterating the populance.

  • The Rey of Gullrey begin their era of long-range space exploration.
    [TOS #067]
  • By this time, the Klingons have begun to perfect shipboard disruptor technology, which they are deploying throughout their fleet. At this time, 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 Federation and the Klingon Empire must inevitably lead to armed conflict, the Orions hastily negotiate several non-aggression and trade treaties with the Federation, but still do not join the Federation.
    [FASA]
  • Within the next century, rumors of a race called the Narr become known to the Federation. 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.

  • 05 January: The negotiations establishing the Romulan Neutral Zone destroy the political aspirations of Councilman Dannon.

Before the discovery is a day old, the burial chamber is looted by the farmer and his starving neighbors and its treasures exchanged for food on the black market. They will all die within weeks from a vicious strain of ‘viper’s eye’—one of several deadly diseases that had ravaged Cardassia off and on for several centuries. The nearly bankrupt Cardassian government begins to excavate the surrounding countryside in the hope of finding additional tombs and artifacts. When a second burial chamber is uncovered, its riches wind up in the hands of the then-humble Cardassian Central Command, which uses them to finance a foray against the people of a neighboring world. A successful venture, the defeated civilization’s resources are seized and brought back to Cardassia Prime, enabling Central Command to capture the people’s imagination. Excavations will continue and with each burial chamber brought to light, the military’s power will grow. Tret Akleen, the putative founder of modern Cardassia, probably comes to power during this era and the Akleen Sector on Cardassia will be named in his honor.
