Historical Events

• By: Romulan colony worlds reel from the loss of their homeworld and the vacuum in leadership.

• February: The leadership council of Rator III declares itself to be the new Romulan Senate and Rator III as the new capital of the Romulan Star Empire. This is quickly challenged by the leaders of Achenar Prime and Abraxas V, who make similar claims.

• February: Romulan Admiral Taris issues a call for all remaining Romulan ships, even deep exploration vessels, to return to Romulan space.

• March: The Federation Council dispatches a civilian fleet of ships to provide food and aid to refugees and to help the displaced survivors of the disaster find new homes.

• March: The fight between the three Romulan factions complicates Federation assistance. Any aid given to one of them must be granted to all to avoid accusations of favoring one faction or attempting to interfere with the Romulans' internal affairs.

• April: Most of the Federation's allies agree to assist in the Romulan relief effort. Even the Cardassians, who are still struggling to rebuild their homeworld, agree to a token contribution. The Klingon Empire refuses to join the relief effort. "The Klingons will offer no treaty, no aid, and no hand that is not holding a blade," Chancellor Martok responds.
