Historical Events

• The USS Carrizal, Messier class, is detected by the Romulans as it passes through their system, though the vessel did not detect them due to technical problems. The Romulans are insulted by the perceived snub.

The Carrizal as a Messier class is assumed, as is the technical issues that caused the Humans to take no notice of the starfaring race in the system.

• The first hostilities with the Romulan Star Empire occured with the first offensive action taken against USS Balboa, when the Romulans detect it in their space. These initial clandestine Rihannsu attacks against Terran, Andorian, Tellarite and other shipping mark the first part of the conflict. This first phase of the conflict was characterized by a lack of coordinated UESF response, and continued until the Romulans deemed it impossible to maintain the veil of secrecy any longer.
