24th Century

The **24th Century** is a span of 100 Earth years that started in 2301 and ended in 2400. The first half of the century marks a notable period of relative peace in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants of the Galaxy. The latter half is marked by several conflicts, catastrophes and devastating wars, shaking the foundations of many of the Alpha Quadrant's major powers.

* The unification movement of Romulus presents its case to the Federation Council for the first time.
* The takeover of several agricultural planets by the Imperial Romulan State now threatens Romulus with severe food shortages, while the cessation of slave labor on Remus hampers power plant and factory output.

* Fleet Commander Tomalak, in his attempt at retaking the planets in possession of Donatra, appoints Admiral Taris as his second-in-command and orders her to re-organize and mobilize Romulus' remaining military forces.

Federation-Klingon conflict
* The Klingon Empire and the Federation are in disagreement over the morality concerning the former's takeover of Khitomer. The Federation Council decides not to formally censure the empire for its miliary action; however, the mere fact that the Council voted on the matter is enough for Qo'noS to temporarily recall its ambassador to the Federation.
	+ Several Klingon High Council members demand that Chancellor Martok banish all Federation ambassadors from Klingon space. Martok refuses, causing Councilor Qolka to challenge him in (and subsequently lose) a duel of honor to the death.

Other events
* Rear Admiral James Bennett of the Starfleet Judge Advocate General's office rules that the Data Decision is too narrow to be used in the case of The Doctor's mobile emitter transfer request.

Many groups on Romulus are accused of the crime, including: an alliance of the noble houses; the Tal Shiar; and agents working for Empress Donatra (who denies any involvement in the murder). At Tal'aura's funeral, Sela publicly blames the Remans and the Unification movement for the assassination.

Klingon-Gorn Conflict
* The *IKS Quv* is attacked by a Gorn ship. Two hundred and seven Klingons perish in the battle. According to King Xrathis of the Gorn Hegemony, the warship commander was acting without orders.

Other events
* Odo, acting as the Great Link's ambassador to the solids, meets with Laas on Koralis III. Odo invites Laas to return with him to the Great Link, but his offer is refused, and Laas instead chooses to continue his search for more of the "hundred" changelings in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

* Worf also resigns his commission in Starfleet, serving in a diplomatic role to ease the tensions between Klingons and the Federation. He returns to Qo'noS to become lead ambassador and begins a relationship with Grilka.

* The USS *Enterprise*-E is assigned to the Utopia Planitia shipyards for en extensive refit. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers reports that the refit will require at least one year to complete; the ship will be used as a testbed for breakthrough technology, among which is the advanced sensor array first installed on *Luna*-class starships, which will be retrofitted onto other classes of ships.
* Starfleet Command decides to dismantle its Borg task force after over two years of no Borg activity in Federation space, believing that the U.S.S. *Voyager* caused more damage to the Borg than initially speculated.

Cardassia
* The Detapa Council is reestablished as the government body of the Cardassian Union. In their first democratic elections, Elim Garak's civilian coalition wins out over hardliners calling for an end to the treaty with the Federation.
* Garak's first act to send a token six ships to aid the Federation recovery efforts to the Romulans proves controversial. Polls show Cardassians believe they should conserve their resources, especially as the Federation cuts support for Cardassian reconstruction.
* Gul Madred begins building mining operations in the Alpha Quadrant.

Other events
* The Federation Council gives the Vulcans the benefit of the doubt in not grasping the full scale of the Hobus Supernova, but criticises them for not informing the Federation about their Red Matter research.

* Holoprojectors become standard equipment on Starfleet vessels, allowing for holographic crew members.

### 2390

Romulan Star Empire
* Romulan colonies begin to develop loose alliances and rivalries but are no closer to terrifying. Talvath requests Federation protection and begins talks that could lead to Federation membership. Some Romulans see this as the first step to the dissolution of the Romulan empire.
* Admiral Taris reorganizes the remaining ships into a new navy. It is expected her new military would be operational within seven months.
* The Federation is concerned the fleet could overwhelm the colonies and place them under military rule.

Klingon-Gorn conflict
* Civilian shipping and settlements are raised by Nausicaans along the Klingon-Gorn border. Federation shipping asks Starfleet to increase its patrols. However, this would be seen as a hostile act by the Klingons.
* To avert conflict and protect shipping, the Federation offers to mediate peace talks between the Klingons and the Gorn. Neither side are happy and initial talks collapse when Martok demands the Federation first remove its ships from the Klingon-Romulan border.
* The Klingons, feeling overstretched, row back on their Romulan incursion and focus on building their strength.

Cardassia
* The Detapa Council attempt to expand civil liberties and the economy. But Gul Madred and his followers call frequent rallies for Cardassia to return it is old ways.
* Scientists on the U.S.S. *Pasteur* and at the Cardassian Ministry of Science find a possible cure for Yarmin Fel Syndrome synthesized from a rare flower that grows in the most remote areas of Cardassia Prime. As it cannot be replicated it may be several years before the treatment is ready.

Other events

* Holo-novel publishers seek to prevent the class-action suit holographic rights, arguing that appearing sentient does not automatically mean a hologram is sentient.
* The Enterprise-E reports that the Enterprise found signs of multiple quantum singularities in the McAllister C-5 Nebula that correspond to those of Species 8472.

Alternate timeline
In an alternate timeline created by a temporal incursion initiated by the Krenim-backed Iconian Resistance, Romulus - while still existing - had been overrun and completely assimilated by the Borg Collective around this year.

Federation-Klingon conflict
* Following objections about safety fears from the Federation Transport Union, Starfleet pulls back ships from the Romulan-Klingon border to protect civilian cargo from Nausicaan pirates. Some Romulan worlds cite it as a broken promise, but Taris rallies Romulans to take responsibility for their own defense again.
* Having inadvertently fulfilled Martok's conditions for mediated peace talks, the Federation hosts Klingon, Gorn and Nausiccan representatives on Deep Space K-7. However, an assassination attempt on the Gorn ambassador disrupts the talks. Evidence pointed to Klingons who oppose Martok's rule.
* The Klingon's renew their advance into the Gorn Hegemony, and the Gorn approach Letheans for further support. Hardliners in the Klingon Empire push for a resumption of their Romulan campaign; but Martok urges caution, preferring to rebuild their strength first.
* Hardliner Councilor J'mpok gathers loyal ships and pushes into Romulan territory alone. He is pushed back by Taris' fleet which contains some highly advanced starships. Martok orders Klingon Intelligence to investigate and sends in a battlegroup. Despite J'mpok's tactical failure, he succeeds in rallying more of the council in defiance of Martok.
