The Federation-Cardassian Treaty of 2370


Joy and Hallelujah! The two-decade-long conflict between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union has come to an end. The Cardassian War is over. Both sides signed an armistice three years ago, however, the official peace terms were finally negotiated and signed on January 8th (earlier this month). News of this signing just reached us today, via commship.

The treaty was signed on the neutral planet of Tohvun III, the location of negotiations for the past three years. Tohvun III is 39 light years from Bajor, near the Federation-Cardassian border.

According to the terms of the Federation-Cardassian Treaty, a Demilitarized Zone has been established along most of the “lower border” between both powers. This Zone prohibits the deployment of armaments, armed warships, and the establishment of military bases within this new territory. It also sets the official border with the Cardassian Union, requiring the exchange of several populated worlds. Any Federation or Cardassian colonists living on these planets are being given the option of resettlement, and all Federation planets, transferred to Cardassian administration, are presently under evacuation orders. Starfleet is already beginning the process of offering relocation to all Federation citizens affected by this treaty. Our assets, here, at Enterprise Station, may be called upon to assist in this process as well, if necessary.

If you wish to see some of the local planets affected by the terms of this treaty, please take a moment to click the “Bajor Sector” tab (located at the top of this page). That tab will direct you to planetary listings, in multiple adjacent sectors -- within our operational range. I have just updated the database, so all sector information should be current and accurate.

Peace has finally come to the Federation. We are no longer enemies of the Cardassian Union. Let us celebrate this moment, let us remember the fallen, and let us pray that we do not find ourselves in a war, like this, ever again.

-Lieutenant Commander Sam Archer
