### First Splinter timeline

August

* Prime Minister Kinchawn of Tezwa claims sovereignty over the Klingon colony world of Qi'Vol, leading to a diplomatic incident that ends in the destruction of a Klingon Defence Force fleet. The Klingons bombard Tezwa, and subsequently invade the planet. In an attempt to keep the Federation's earlier involvement with the planet secret, Federation President Min Zife orders Captain Jean-Luc Picard to conquer Tezwa before the Klingons. Picard succeeds in this mission, though without knowledge of the true reasons behind his orders, and Tezwa becomes a Federation protectorate. (*TNG* novel: *A Time to Kill*)

September

* The Tezwan occupation by Starfleet suffers an insurgency led by the ousted Kinchawn, which results in thousands of Federation deaths. President Zife and his aides Koll Azernal and Nelino Quafina attempt a further cover-up of the Federation's placement of nadion-pulse cannons on Tezwa during the Dominion War, again using the Orion Syndicate in an effort to implicate the Tholian Assembly. Their plan fails, and Starfleet discovers the truth of the weapons' origins. (*TNG* novel: *A Time to Heal*)

October

* After the millions of deaths in the Tezwa Affair, a cabal of senior Starfleet officers including Captain Picard and Admirals William Ross, Alynna Nechayev, Owen Paris, Edward Jellico and Mamoru Nakamura conspire to force the resignations of Zife, Azernall and Quafina. This effort is led by Ross, Nechayev and Nakamura, who force the issue at gunpoint. Zife's subsequent resignation speech is broadcast to the Federation at large. Afterwards, and unbeknownst to the others, Ross is forced by Section 31 to allow Zife and his aides to be assassinated. (*TNG* novel: *A Time to Heal*)

* The day of President Zife's resignation, the Federation Embassy on Qo'noS is taken over by the *Klahb*, a Klingon terrorist group dedicated to the removal of Chanellor Martok and the end of the Khitomer Accords. Ambassador Worf is later able to retake the embassy single-handed. Afterwards, he passes his diplomatic duties to his son, Alexander Rozhenko, and reactivates his Starfleet commission. (*TNG* novel: *A Time for War, A Time for Peace*)
* Following Zife's resignation, a special election is called. A brief campaign ensues between the two main candidates Governor Nanietta Bacco of Cestus III and Federation Councillor Arafel Pagro of Ktaris. After a highly successful debate performance, Bacco handily defeats her opponent on election day, and is sworn in as President of the United Federation of Planets.
