Several Federation and Romulan outposts close to the
Neutral
Zone are destroyed. Both the Federation and the Romulans suspect each
other. However, based upon similarities with other attacked stations,
it is probable that these events marked the first appearance of the

politics
after 53 years of isolation. (TNG: "The

Galaxy-class USS Yamato discovers the legendary Iconian homeworld in
the Romulan Neutral Zone. Shortly thereafter, the ship is destroyed by
Iconian technology. The USS Enterprise-D assumes the Yamato's mission,
and discovers an Iconian Gateway on the planet. Instead of letting the
gateway fall into Romulan hands, Captain Picard decides to destroy it.
On the planet (in the Gateway control room), Captain Picard escapes the
destruction by passing through the open Gateway to the location
displayed -- a mountain range on the abandoned planet, Sabik III -- 170
light years away. (84 light years from Earth). In orbit of Iconia, while
the USS Enterprise-D has restarted the ship's computers, thereby
removing the devestating Iconian computer virus, the Romulan Warbird
IRW Haakona (commanded by Subcommander Taris) does not fare as well,
and is destroyed. The resulting explosion significantly damages the USS
Enterprise-D, requiring the ship to put into port at a nearby starbase
for repairs.
(TNG:

| Dec. 6 | After
spending two days surviving in the wilderness on Sabik III, Captain
Jean-Luc Picard is discovered by scientists from a Federation research

Enterprise, it did not seem to be an inappropriate course of action.
(TNG:

Jan. |
The
Romulans conceive a plan to create a clone of Starfleet Captain Jean

| Jan. 28 | Q
appears to Picard on his transport ship heading toward the Enterprise,
and claims that they have business to attend to. Q offers to
transport Picard straight to the Enterprise (shaving eleven days off
his original journey) if Picard will hear him out. Captain Picard
agrees, and is instantly transported to the location of the USS
Enterprise-D, as promised. Q then states that he has been cast out of
the Q Continuum, and wishes to join the Enterprise crew. Picard refuses
the request. To show that the Enterprise crew needs Q in order to deal
with the dangers of deep space exploration, Q transports the ship and
crew to System J-25 -- 7,000 light years away from their previous
position. There the Enterprise (and Starfleet) makes first contact with
the Borg. Eighteen Enterprise crew members are captured and the ship is
damaged in the encounter.

subspace distortion that transfers the Enterprise-D to the center of
the Milky Way Galaxy (30,000 light years away from the Argus Array).
This is all found to be the work of the Cytherians, who engineered the
entire situation in order to bring the Enterprise to their part of the

execute Miles O'Brien and thereby threaten the treaty that was signed three months ago. (DS9: "Tribunal") |
| Sept. 23 | The
trial of Miles O'Brien takes place on Cardassian Prime. His public
defender is Odo, who, being qualified by Dukat four years earlier,
volunteers for the task. The trial slips further and further into
hopelessness for O'Brien until Captain Sisko arrives, escorting a
Cardassian spy. In a sudden shift, the Cardassian "judge" immediately
declares O'Brien innocent and the case is closed. O'Brien is free to
go. It is later revealed that O'Brien's arrest and trial was likely
part of an elaborate plot to give the Cardassian Central Command an
excuse to destroy the Maquis-led Federation colonies in the
Demilitarized Zone. Captain Sisko's appearance with the Cardassian spy
presented an embarrassing situation for the Cardassians. Rather than

Klingon flagship, IKS Negh'Var, along with an armada of Klingon
vessels, decloaks at Deep Space 9. The fleet's commander, General
Martok, requests shoreleave on the station, and declares that the
newly-arrived Klingon fleet will remain in Bajoran space to counter the
inevitable Dominion attack. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior")
Starfleet
orders Lieutenant Commander Worf to Deep Space 9 to help deal with the
influx of Klingons on the station. Worf is enjoying leave while
visiting Deanna Troi on Betazed at the time (after spending some of his
earlier on the Klingon planet of Boreth). Worf is considering resigning
from Starfleet. (DS9:

| Nov. 16 | Convinced
that the Cardassian government
has been infiltrated by the Founders, General Martok leads a
Klingon invasion of Cardassia. The Klingon fleet cloaks and leaves Deep
Space 9. Captain Sisko "subtly" warns Garak, who in turn alerts Dukat
and the Cardassians. However, the Cardassians are busy fighting the
civilian insurgence. Cardassia is unprepared for the impending Klingon
attack. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior") |
| Nov. 17 | The
Federation objects to this Klingon invasion of Cardassia. Chancellor
Gowron responds by withdrawing from the Khitomer Accords, thereby
ending
the
Federation-Klingon alliance. Gowron also strips Worf of his honor, his
House and all of it's titles after the Starfleet officer refuses to join him
in the Klingon invasion. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior")
The Klingon invasion fleet reaches the Cardassian border, and breaks through the Cardassian defensive lines. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior") |
| Nov. 18 | While
chasing the Cardassian civilian Detapa Council, now led by Dukat, escape Cardassian Prime, three Klingon vessels destroy
the Cardassian escape cruiser Prakesh. However, the cloaked USS Defiant
is able to rescue the Detapa Council members before the cruiser is
destroyed. Romulan
Subcommander T'Rul objects to the use of the Defiant's cloaking device
in the Alpha Quadrant, but is over-ruled by Captain Sisko.
Understanding the nature of this mission, she chooses to overlook the
infraction -- this time. The
USS Defiant heads back to Deep Space 9 at maximum warp. Aboard the
ship, Doctor Bashir is able to determine that none of the rescued
Cardassians are Changeling imposters.
(DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior") |
| Nov. 19 | The
USS Defiant arrives at Deep Space 9 with the rescued Cardassians. They
are followed by a fleet of about 50 Klingon ships, commanded by Gowron
and Martok aboard the
the IKS Negh'Var. Gowron demands the surrender of all rescued
Cardassians, or else the Klingon ships will open fire on Deep Space 9.
Captain Sisko refuses, choosing instead to stand his ground. Gowron
orders his Klingon fleet to attack Deep Space 9. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior")
The
Klingons attack Deep Space 9, but the recently improved station weapons
hold them off. Gowron orders the IKS Negh'Var to take out the station's
shield generator. The station's defensive shields fail, and Klingon
boarding parties beam into Ops, the Promenade and the location of the
hidden Cardassians. Station security is prepared and waiting.
Hand-to-hand combat results, and the Klingons are driven back. A
Starfleet task force of six ships (commanded by Admiral Hastur on the
Galaxy-class USS Venture) arrives at Deep Space 9. Gowron chooses
not to continue this fight, but assures Starfleet that they have made
an enemy this day. And the Klingon Empire does not forget its enemies. (DS9:
"The Way of the Warrior") |
| Nov. 20 | Having
chosen to remain in Starfleet, Lieutenant Commander Worf is assigned to
Deep Space 9 as the station's new Strategic Operations Officer, as well
as the USS Defiant's first officer. He starts his first day wearing a red-shouldered uniform appropriate to his new position.

are viewed to be the prime suspects.
In
response to the planetary power outage -- and the fact that it could
take days to get the power relay systems back online, Federation
President Jaresh-Inyo declares a planetary state of emergency. Starfleet ships in orbit take on the task of
using their transporters and communication systems to mobilize Starfleet

| Dec. 2 | Odo,
who has fallen ill recently, is taken aboard the USS Defiant, through
the Bajoran Wormhole, into the Gamma Quadrant in search of his people.
Not long after, the Founder Leader arrives at the Defiant (with plenty
of Jem'Hadar ships), beams aboard, and cures Odo. She also points out
that Odo must be punished for his previous actions in killing another
Changeling. He must return to the Great Link to face that punishment.
Odo, however refuses. While he longs to return home, now is not the
time, especially not with the Dominion threatening the solids -- his
friends. Disappointed, the Founder Leader pronounces judgement then and
there.... Odo is an outcast. He no longer has a home among his people.
And he will suffer the same fate as the solids. The Founder Leader then
leaves the Defiant, allowing the Starfleet ship to return through the
wormhole to the Alpha Quadrant. (DS9:

Unknown
at this time, however, Odo inadvertantly infected the Founder Leader
with the Section 31 virus when she linked with him, curing him of his

unknowingly infecting the other Changelings when she arrives. It will be a little over
two years before the symptoms of this Section 31 virus are activated among the
Changeling populace. (DS9:

heavy disruptor fire from nearby Klingons completely disintigrates it.
The Martok founder is dead. Realizing that the Klingon Empire was being
