Historical Events

• Due to the heavy casualties suffered by the Romulans in the Battle of Cheron the previous year, they were amicable to a compromise that included few territorial gains or losses, and dictated no reparations whatsoever by either side. The war was ended by acknowledging the sovereignty of the Romulans within a carefully defined column of space, and that of the humans outside that volume, with an impermeable and eternal barrier erected between.
• The Romulan War is over.
• May 24th: USS Cavalier (ND-626, Cavalry class) is shot to pieces well after the official declaration of ceasefire and limps to a crash lands onto an unexplored, barely M-class world.
• The Iceland class destroyers are pressed into patrolling the newly-established Neutral Zone.
• The United Federation of Planets was founded.
• The UFP Starfleet was founded, as well as the Committee for Starfleet.
• Starfleet Academy was established in San Francisco.
• The role of desperation in Earth’s starflight programs was greatly reduced, and specieism was receding as well.
• The first of the remaining first flight Cavalries is sold to member navies of the UFP.
