history

This chronology is a first attempt at writing a document which accurately dates various important events in Romulan history, by drawing on canon sources. The reader will note numerous areas in which the dates provided are not well defined, particularly the date of Planetfall, from which many other dates are measured in the Romulan dating system. Any additional information gleaned from the sources cited, or from the television broadcasts and movies, which sheds light on the hazy portions of this document would be greatly appreciated.

[Ed. note: More dates have been added to the following original timeline from the Star Trek Chronology. Updated July 26, 2006]

68 BC	Surak born on Vulcan as the light from the sigma-1014 Orionis nova reaches Vulcan. 1
23 BC	Vulcan receives first radio signals from Orion pirates arriving in their system. 2
22 BC, January 18-19	First meeting with the Orion pirates. Orion ship lands, stuns and kidnaps most of the official Vulcan delegation, murders the rest. Surak is not present due to travel difficulties. S'Task is captured. The `Ahkh' begins. 3
22 BC, March	End of the `Ahkh'. Vulcans drive off the Orions using a combination of traditional warfare and psi weapons. 4
22 BC, November	Cloaked Orion spy ship destroyed. Hulk left in desert outside Te'Rikh as a monument. 5
23 BC	Riots on Vulcan as militaristic Vulcans in favor of arming to meet the interstellar threat clash with the more numerous pacifists supporting Surak. 6
7 BC	The number of the `Declared', Vulcans pledged to follow S'Task on the Journey, reaches 12000. S'Task first suggests that those who wish to go on the Journey should donate all their possessions to the cause. 7
11 AD	The number of the `Declared' reaches almost five percent of Vulcan's population. Ultimately, the limited number of ships, and the waning of early excitement about the project will substantially reduce the number of Vulcans who leave on the Journey. 8
25 AD	Rea's Helm leaves orbit and begins a three month tour of the solar system before accelerating out into interstellar space. Shortly followed by Warbird, Starcatcher, T'Hie, Pennon, Bloodwing, Corona, Lance, Gorget, Sunheart, Forge, Lost Road, Blacklight, Firestorm, Vengeance, Memory, and Shield. 9
55 AD	The fartravel ships arrive at the first star on their tour, 88 Eri. No habitable planets are found, and after reconoitering the system the ships continue on towards 198 Eri. 10
UNKNOWN	Seven ships -- Pennon, Starcatcher, Bloodwing, Forge, Lost Road, Lance, and Blacklight -- are caught in the event horizon of a newly formed black hole nearby 198 Eri. All seven ships are lost. 11
UNKNOWN	The remaining fartravel ships reach 198 Eri. Demoralized after the black hole disaster, they spend 3.5 years in orbit, storing up energy and debating the future of the Journey. S'Task prevails in the debate and the ships continue on to 4408A/B Trianguli. 12
UNKNOWN	Two ships -- T'Hie and Corona -- lost to the mind destroying race called the `Iruhe' at 4408B Trianguli. The remainder of the fleet flees 4408A/B at high speed. Firestorm and Vengeance become separated from the rest of the ships and wander for several years before rejoining the fleet. 13
UNKNOWN	Warbird suffers a drive failure and falls into 114 Trianguli while attempting a slingshot maneuver. 14
UNKNOWN	Shield is lost or destroyed. 14
UNKNOWN	Memory suffers a drive failure and falls into a black dwarf while attempting a slingshot maneuver. 14
UNKNOWN	Sunheart abandoned after disease kills most of the crew. 15
~533 AD	The four remaining ships -- Rea's Helm, Gorget, Vengeance and Firestorm -- arrive in the 128 Trianguli system and find two habitable worlds. 16
~534 AD, 0 AS (After Settlement)	The two worlds are named `ch'Rihan' and `ch'Havran' and the first Travelers begin to disembark from the fartravel ships to colonize the two worlds. 17
~537 AD, 3 AS	The last of the Travelers disembark from the ships, leaving only the Ship Clans. 18
~594 AD, 60 AS	Under the rule of Councillor T'Rehu, the nation of Elheu raises a standing army and begins threatening its neighbors. Between 60 AS and 72 AS, T'Rehu invades several smaller neighboring nations. 19
~606 AD, 72 AS	T'Rehu receives the Grand Councillorship after intimidating the Grand Council with the possible use of her armies, and her alliances with the technologically advanced Ship Clans. S'Task walks out on her, and she swears he will never do so again. 20
~612 AD, 78 AS	Famine strikes the South Continent of ch'Havran and 1500 die. T'Rehu has S'Task (aged 248) murdered in the High Council when he attempts to walk out. She declares the beginning of the `rule of women' and takes the title of `Ruling Queen'. 21
~630 AD, 96 AS	A faction from the Eastern continent overthrows T'Rehu and sets up the Tricameral system of government. 22
~784 AD, 250 AS	By this time, the technology in the four remaining Ships has substantially degraded and fallen into disrepair. The Ship Clans have dwindled, and the Romulans now lack an interstellar travel capacity. 23
~835 AD, 300 AS	Over the years 300 AS to 400 AS, the orbits of the Ships decay and they all fall from the sky. 23
~1043 AD, 508 AS	The Romulan government completes a small satellite warning and defense system. 24
~2034 AD, ~1499 AS	The Romulans develop the technology of artificial gravity. 25
2134 AD, ~1599 AS	The USS Carrizal enters the Romulan star system, evades the satellite warning system, and beams radio first contact messages to the two inhabited planets. The Romulans do not answer them, and the Carrizal leaves after completing its studies. 26
2137 AD, ~1602 AS	The USS Balboa enters the Romulan star system and is destroyed by the massed particle beams of fifty newly built Romulan ships. The USS Stone Mountain is captured while answering the Balboa's distress call and dissected to acquire warp drive technology. 27
2156 AD, ~1621 AS	Romulan war begins agains Earth forces. The war is fought with primitive atomic weapons and the Romulan Fleet does not yet have warp drive. 29
2162 AD, ~1627 AS	A humiliating defeat at the Battle of Cheron discourages the Romulans, and the Vulcans pursuade the Federation, the two sides negotiate the Treaty of Alpha Trianguli via subspace data upload. The Treaty establishes the Neutral Zone as a one light year buffer between Federation and Romulan space. 28

Notes The Romulan Way - Page 40. The date of first physical contact with the Orions is given as 22 BC. Page 39. First contact is described as being "forty-five years [after]" the birth of Surak. The Romulan Way - Pages 39 and 40. Radio contact is described. Vulcans debated the issues for "several months" prior to physical meeting. Hence the date of first radio contact has been set approximately one year previous to the established date of first physical contact. The Romulan Way - Page 40. Explicit terran date given. Vulcan year 139954. The Romulan Way - Page 41. War is described as a relatively brief conflict. S'Task spends "several weeks" in orbit after destroying Orion mothership. The Romulan Way - Page 42. Orion ship is brought down at the end of the same year as the "Ahkh". Further evidence of the shortness of the actual conflict. The Romulan Way - Page 42. Riots late in Vulcan year 139955, one year after the "Ahkh". The Romulan Way - Page 73. Vulcan date given as 139970. Terran date derived using a ratio of 11/12 terran years to every Vulcan year, as described in Spock's World. The Romulan Way - Page 74. Vulcan date given as the late 139980's. See 7. The Romulan Way - Page 43. Vulcan date given as 140005. See 7. Duane gives the names of 17 fartravel ships, but on page 103 describes the loss of "seven of eighteen" ships in the black hole disaster. We will infer that only 17 ships left Vulcan and page 103 is an error. The Romulan Way - Page 102. While the travelers felt only a few years of time due to relativistic effects, to the rest of the universe their tour of the 88 Eri system took thirty years. The Romulan Way - Pages 103 and 104. The Romulan Way - Pages 104 and 105. The Romulan Way - Pages 105-107. The Romulan Way - Page 108. Note that at this point the loss of Shield has not been accounted for. No reference is made to it after the initial listing of ships leaving Vulcan, but it is not included in the list of surviving ships on page 108, so it must have been lost before then. The Romulan Way - Five ships are cited here on page 108: Rea's Helm, Gorget, Sunheart, Vengeance and Firestorm. Rea's Helm completed the journey, since it was carrying S'Task. Gorget and Vengeance are mentioned on page 141 as having carried settlers who arrived on the South Continent of ch'Havran. That leaves either Sunheart or Firestorm as the ship which was lost during the last legs of the Journey. Firestorm was arbitrarily chosen as the ship which survived, and the disease references of pages 108 and 109 were chosen to explain the loss of Sunheart. The Romulan Way - Page 192. The time between first contact and settlement is cited at "sixteen hundred years". First contact can be dated at 2134, using The Romulan Way and a reference from the TOS episode Balance of Terror. The Romulan Way - Page 112. The Romulan Way - Page 115. It took "some three years" for the whole population to disembark. The Romulan Way - Pages 136 and 137. The rise of T'Rehu in her nation would have taken place somewhat earlier, after she succeeded her father. The Romulan Way - Pages 139 and 140. The Romulan Way - Page 142. The Romulan Way - Page 143. Refers to T'Rehu's reign as one of "eighteen years". The Romulan Way - Page 165. The Romulan Way - Page 166. The Romulan Way - Page 193. Refers to artificial gravity being mastered "a century or so earlier" than the date of first contact with humans. The Romulan Way - Page 191. The date of first contact is derived from the date of the end of the first Romulan / Earth War, which is set at approximately 2162 in a reference from the TOS episode Balance of Terror. Page 194 shows the length of the war to be 25 years. Page 193 gives the time between first contact and the start of the war with the destruction of the USS Balboa to be 3 years. Subtracting 28 from 2162 gives us the first contact date of 2134. The Romulan Way - Page 193. The Romulan Way - Page 195. The date of the end of the war is derived from the TOS episode Balance of Terror, in which the date is known to be 2260 and the end of the war is referred to as "a century" ago. The Star Trek Chronology 1996

Our civilization began when the Declared split from our Vulcan ancestors and began to travel to begin a new civilization among the stars. The Declared where followers of S'task who had a different view than his friend Surak. Surak was teaching the Vulcan philosophy of logic. While S'Task remained true to the old ways of honor. Soon the to philosophies began to clash & S'Task decided to leave the home world with his disciples to save it from being torn apart between two philosophies.

S'Task left with 80,000 people in seventeen ships and began a journey through the solar system looking for a new home world. While on there quest for a new home world many of the seventeen ships where lost. There voyage otherwise known as the Sundering ended with around 4 ships & 18,000 people made planetfall on ch'Rihan and ch'Havran (In Terran Romulus and Remus) Some of these people called themselves Rihannsu or the Declared

At planetfall, the Travelers found themselves suddenly with two empty worlds to populate. Land was distributed by lottery, and most of the population debarked, leaving only a few small "Ship Clans" who were reluctant to abandon the far-travel ships completely. However, life on the two worlds was not idyllic: of the 18,000 Rihannsu who settled on the two worlds, approximately 6,000 died in the first ten years of their settlement.

Oddly enough, these 6,000 did not die of disease or starvation, but mostly from the violent deaths of war. Upon settling down the Rihannsu promptly picked up where things had left off on Vulcan, warring and feuding for various reasons, primarily territory and resources. In such an atmosphere it was only a matter of time before a warlord emerged to impose a central structure on the factions and clans by force, and such a warlord was T'Rehu, the Ruling Queen.

T'Rehu built up an army in about 67 AS (After Settlement) and within 10 years had more might than any in the Two Worlds. When her power was sufficient, she brought her armies to the Grand Council and there demanded recognition. Only S'Task stood before her, and turned and left when the Council granted her demands. A few years later when famine struck the

However, 20 years is a short time in the history of a world and after smarting under her rule for several years the warlike clans of the Eastern continents of ch'Havran revolted and defeated her armies. In place of the Ruling Queen a Tricameral house of Praetorate and Senate was set up which was sufficiently resilient to have survived to this day.

So in relative stability, with regular localized factional wars, the Rihannsu lived for well over 1000 years. The Rihannsu enjoyed all the arts and developed them over this time: sculpture, music, painting, science and war. All were relished and enjoyed. And then, the Rihannsu suffered a rude awakening.

Around the year 1600 AS a Federation ship called the Carrizal entered the 128 Trianguli system to survey this systems. They found 2 habitable planets with an highly developed agrarian civilization on both planets. he crew dubbed the worlds "Romulus" and "Remus" in reference to an ancient Terran legend. In standard first contact procedures they beamed in messages of peace and good will. They received no response. After surveying the system for a time, they returned to the Federation with the news of their discovery.

On our planets the visitors from the Federation had an disturbing effect on our people. They had not forgotten the Orions un Vulcan who also claimed to be peacefully. In 1600 years our people had developed an extremely effective industrial system. We knew who could not match their technology of the ship from the Federation, but years of war had taught them that sheer numbers could overwhelm any technological advantage.

By the time the next Federation ship arrived, the Rihannsu had constructed some 7,000 crude, cylindrical vessels -- impulse powered with particle beam weapons. When the USS Balboa coasted into the Trianguli system, it was blown to bits by the massed particle beams of 50 spacecraft. Shortly thereafter, the Rihannsu captured the USS Stone Mountain, took her apart, studied the design, and added warp drive to their primitive craft. Thus began what was known to the Federation as the "First Romulan War".

The Federation's StarFleet was stymied and confused by their inability to defeat the Rihannsu , who were flying craft that were little more than tin cans with warp power drives. Time and again, larger and larger task forces were sent into Rihannsu space and were systematically obliterated by our army. At about this time, the Federation made first contact with the Vulcans, and asked them if they knew anything about this seemly maniacal race. The Vulcans responded with characteristic caution, that they knew of some who might match the description, but that they had left Vulcan long ago. As StarFleet continued to send task forces into Rihannsu space the Vulcans suggested that, if these were indeed the ones who had left long ago, it would be best to make peace. It took StarFleet several more years to realize that they were never going to prevail, and a treaty was eventually negotiated .

After this war the Neutral Zone was formed. We had contacts with the Klingon empire but when they became allies with the Federation they are treated as the Federation. Thanks to us they have cloaking technique which we traded for one of their ship designs .Nowadays there are still conflicts with the Federation and the Klingon Empire. On our homeworld are groups formed who support reunification with Vulcan because of our Vulcan background. But in spite of all our problems the Romulan Empire will survive.

2166 AD, ~1631 AS	Romulan forces destroy outposts 2, 3, 4, and 8 in the Neutral Zone (Balance of Terror, TOS) to test the Federations' resolve and defenses. Though still without warp drive, the Romulans have a cloaking device and a plasma energy weapon. Captain James T. Kirk, violates the treaty and enters the Neutral Zone, finally out maneuvering the Romulan Commander, forcing him to self-destruct.
2168 AD, ~1629 AS	The Federation sends Kirk and Spock into Romulan Territory to steal a Romulan cloaking device. They are captured, but manage to escape, taking a Romulan Commander prisoner back to Federation space.
2268 AD, ~1729 AS	The Romulan Empire enters into an Alliance with The Klingon Empire, which results in exchange of technologies, giving the Romulans warp drive and new ship designs.
2287 AD, ~1753 AS	The Romulan Empire sends the Diplomat Caithlin Dar to Nimbus III, a failed colony of peace.
2292 AD, ~1758 AS	The Romulan-Klingon Alliance crumbles and they become bitter enemies for the next 75 years.
2293 AD, ~1759 AS	Romulan Senator Pardek attends the Khitomer Conference.
2311 AD, ~1777 AS	In the Tomed incident, Romulan Admiral Vokar attempts to start a war with the Federation by ramming his ship the Tomed into a Federation asteroid base. The resulting quantum explosion destroys several bases and the Federation starship Agamemnon. Shortly thereafter is signed the Treaty of Algeron between the Romulan Empire and the UFP in which the UFP gives up the right to develop a cloaking device in exchange for a withdrawal of Romulan forces. Also reaffirms the Romulan Neutral Zone. Violation of the RNZ would be considered an act of War.
2344 AD, ~1811 AS	Romulans attack the Klingon colony of Nerendra III. The defense of the colony by the doomed Enterprise-C opens diplomatic talks between the Klingons and the Federation, both enemies of the Romulan Empire.
2345 AD, ~1811 AS	Sela is born on ch'Rihan. Due to a time incursion, (Yesterday's Enterprise) she is the daughter of Tasha Yar and a Romulan official.
2346 AD, ~1812 AS	Romulans attack the Klingon Colony of Khitomer. Traitor Ja'rod Duras (Klingon) plots with the Romulans to attack the Colony. Romulan Officer Tokath takes nearly 100 Klingon prisoners from Khitomer to a prison camp in the Carraya System (Carraya IV). He allows the Klingon prisoners and the Romulan officers and crew under his command to intermarry, producing a colony of half-breeds, unwelcome in either Empire. The decision not to execute the prisoners cost Tokath his position in the Romulan Empire.
2350 AD, ~1816 AS	The Romulan Science vessel Talvath commanded by Telek R'Mor of the Romulan Astrophysical Academy, departs on a mission to Sector 1385.
2351 AD, ~1817 AS	The Romulan Science vessel Talvath commanded by Telek R'Mor of the Romulan Astrophysical Academy, makes contact with USS Voyager through a time wormhole through which messages from Voyager are transmitted, to be held until the proper time in the future (20 years) when the messages can be delivered.
2358 AD, ~1824 AS	The Federation violates the Treaty of Algeron by developing a cloaking device. The device is installed on the USS Pegasus, which explodes after its crew mutinies over the experiment. The cloaking device remains intact, however, as the crippled ship drifts in space, cloaking and uncloaking periodically.
2364 AD, ~1830 AS	After the mysterious destruction of several Federation and Romulan outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone, a Romulan warbird enters the RNZ to investigate. Though it was later discovered that the Borg had destroyed these outposts, hostilities resumed between the Romulan Empire and the Federation. Senator Pardek attends a trade conference. The archival video of the conference show Spock and Pardek together, which later lead Picard and Data to follow Spock to ch'Rihan, thinking that Spock is compromising Federation security. Romulans obtain the hull of the Vulcan ship T'Pau to be used in a covert operation to take over Vulcan.
2365 AD, ~1831 AS	The USS Yamato violates the RNZ to find the ancient civilization of Iconia, in hopes of preventing the Romulans from gaining access to their technology. An interstellar incident is almost triggered when the Iconian device nearly destroys both a Romulan Warbird and the Enterprise-D.
2366 AD, ~1832 AS	A Romulan Scoutship enters the RNZ near the Federation outpost Sierra IV. The ship is piloted by defector Admiral Alidar Jarok. He gives the Federation information that the Romulans are planning a military base on Nelvana III. He feels that a war with the Federation would be disastrous for the Romulan Empire. However, the information he "procured" is misinformation fed to him by the Romulan government as a test of loyalty Jarok later commits suicide to pay for his dishonor. A Romulan Warbird piloted by Tomalak, enters the RNZ to rescue the survivors of a downed scoutship, the Pi, on Galorndon Core. One of the survivors dies on the Enterprise, but the other is rescued by Engineer LaForge and returned unharmed to Tomalok. A Romulan Warbird is dispatched to investigate a life form living in space, Gomtuu, with great potential use as a weapon and a vessel. Due to the interference of the Federation, the creature chooses to bond with a Betazoid, and it pushes the Romulan ship and the Enterprise-D to safety before a nearby star explodes.
2367 AD, ~1833 AS	Commander Sela programs a Federation Officer, Geordie LaForge, to assassinate Klingon Governor Vagh to cause a rift between the Klingons and the Federation. Later that year Sela forms a covert alliance with the Duras family to wrest control of the Klingon High Council from Gowron. Though unsuccessful due to the interference of the Federation, the incident did spark a Klingon civil war from 2367 - 2368. Subcommander Selok, long undercover on Vulcan as Ambassador T'Pel, maneuvers her return to Romulan space by arranging negotiations with the Romulans. She is beamed aboard the Devoras, faking her death by transporter. While the Enterprise crew investigates her death, the Devoras takes Selok safely back to Romulan space. Telek R'Mor of the Romulan Astrophysical Academy, dies before he can pass along the message chip given to him by Voyager. The messages were to be delivered in 2371 so as not to affect the timeline.
2368 AD, ~1834 AS	Sela attempts to bring supplies to the Duras family to aid them in their rebellion against Gowron. The plan is thwarted by a sensor net formed by a fleet of Federation ships, which detected Sela's ships even under cloak. The Romulan Empire becomes aware of the underground Unification Movement. Senator Pardek and Proconsul Neral pretend to be sympathetic to the movement in order to assist Sela's planned invasion of Vulcan. Again the Romulan plan is thwarted by the Federation, through the efforts of Ambassador Spock of Vulcan. It is rumored that he has remained undercover on ch'Rihan to aid the Unification Movement. A Romulan Scout ship issues a distress call to the Enterprise-D, which aids the ship with repairs. The ship is carrying an experimental cloaking device based on phase technology. A transporter accident phases LaForge and Ro, essentially cloaking them from view. It is during this cloaked state that they discover the experimental cloaking device. An anionic beam uncloaks them.
2369 AD, ~1835 AS	Stephan DeSeve, a federation citizen who had given up his citizenship 20 years ago and has chosen to live on ch'Rihan, defects back to Federation space. He conveys a message to Spock that several dissidents are defecting to Federation space with vital information. Deanna Troi is co-opted as an undercover Tal'Shiar to ensure the safe delivery of the operatives to Federation space. Commander Toreth is the unlucky person to have the dissidents aboard her ship, the Khazara. An alien lifeform enters the singularity in a Romulan Warbird, mistaking it for a black hole. The singularity is used by the aliens to lay eggs and incubate their young. The process has shut down all power to the warbird. The Enterprise-D attempts to restore power to the Warbird with an energy beam. But the aliens freeze both ships in time to prevent a disastrous explosion. Eventually the Romulan crew is rescued by the Enterprise and returned to Romulan space.
2370 AD, ~1836 AS	Mercenaries conduct raids on ancient Romulan sites in search of the psionic resonator, a weapon used by telepaths. The Romulan Warbird Terix finds debris from the USS Pegasus in the Devolin System. The ship is ordered to find the rest of the Pegasus. The previous Pegasus Captain, now Admiral Pressman, is assigned by Starfleet Intelligence to retrieve the illegal cloak if it still exists. Riker tells the Romulans about the device and has Pressman arrested for violating the Treaty of Algeron.
2371 AD, ~1837 AS	Romulans attempt to collapse the Bajoran Wormhole to prevent Dominion forces from entering the Alpha Quadrant. It would have resulted in the destruction of DS9. However, a Federation officer was forewarned, when the Cloak from a nearby Romulan Warbird thrust Miles O'Brien ahead in time to right after the planned collapse of the wormhole. A joint pre-emptive strike by Tal'Shiar and Cardassian against the Founder homeworld in the Omarion Nebula fails.
2373 AD, ~1839 AS	Romulans sign a non-aggression pact with the Dominion and remain uninvolved in the Dominion War until it becomes apparent to the Tal'Shiar that the Dominion forces plan to invade Romulan Territory. Though this information was fabricated by the Federation, it does achieve its goal to persuade the Romulans to rethink their pact with the Dominion.
2374 AD, ~1840 AS	Romulans join forces with the Federation and the Klingons against the Cardassian-Dominion forces. The RSE provides warships in the Dominion War, giving the alliance the extra firepower it needs to defeat the Dominion. The Dominion War sees a turning point at the Chintoka System when all three forces destroy an automated Cardassian defense system.
2380 AD, ~1846 AS	With a small group of Remans, the human clone Shinzon destroys the Senate with a thalaron device and takes power, seeking to defeat the Federation as well. He and his weapon are destroyed by the Enterprise-E.

The Tomed Incident was an act of terrorism in 2311 that cost many thousands of Federation lives. History records that Romulan Admiral Aventeer Vokar, an extremist in the Romulan Imperial Fleet, ordered his ship, the Tomed, abandoned by all but six of the crew. From there, Vokar and his cohorts set course for the Foxtrot Sector in Federation space. Upon reaching their destination, the ship impacted with an asteroid base, and its quantum singularity drive caused a massive explosion, disrupting space-time throughout the sector and wiping out dozens of asteroid bases and at least one starship, the USS Agamemnon.

Thousands of lives were lost, with only the USS Enterprise escaping destruction. Vokar apparently committed this act in the hopes of prompting a war between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire due to his long-standing Romulan chauvinism and imperialistic stances. The Tomed Incident nearly accomplished Vokar's goal before the Klingon Empire, previously neutral, sided with Federation forces, thus prompting the Imperial Fleet to retreat from the border.

Shortly after the Tomed Incident, the Romulan Star Empire forced the Federation to sign a revised Treaty of Algeron. Itt banned cloaking technology within the UFP in return for the Star Empire's agreement to withdraw into its borders and to recall all of its diplomatic missions and citizens, effectively isolating them on the astropolitical scene. (TLE: Serpents Among the Ruins).

In reality, Vokar did not cause the Tomed Incident, and only the lives of the six Romulans were lost. Capt. John Harriman and Starfleet Intelligence operatives Elias Vaughn and Drysi Gravenor of the UFP stowed aboard the Tomed and tricked most of the crew into abandoning ship. From there, they hijacked the Tomed, ramming it into the Foxtrot Sector asteroid base -- a base that had, like the Agamemnon and the other asteroid bases, been previously emptied of all crew but equipped with special devices designed to emit artificial lifesigns. The deaths of thousands of Starfleet officers from across the Federation had, in the previous years, been covered up, and those officers were then recorded has having all transferred to the Foxtrot bases and to the Agamemnon, completing the fabrication. The Starfleet operatives escaped to the Enterprise, but Vokar and his crew were killed.
