Human-Romulan War

The Human-Romulan War was a brief conflict that took place between the Federation and the Romulan Empire. Its result dictated the future of the relationship between the two civilisations, as the Romulans lived and breathed warfare whereas the Federation just wanted peace. There was never a threat to either side's integrity during the war, as the entire conflict took place in the Neutral Zone between the territories of these two factions.

The war started as soon as the two sides became aware of each other, as the Romulans were accustomed to attacking anything different on sight. However, they were met with a suprise with the Federation, as their superior weapons and tactics annihilated the Romulan taskforces sent to quell them. The Romulans began building bigger and bigger vessels in an attempt to scare the Federation into submission but these were simply seen as large targets for the Federation guns that were easily destroyed.

The Romulans began to develop their weapons to better combat the Federation and eventually they were able to devise ways of penetrating Federation shielding. For a long while the Romulans beat the Federation in almost every encounter, until a truce was eventually drawn up. However, not long after the truce (which would have severely limited the Federation's rights and restricted their movements in Romulan space) was signed, something terrible happened. The Romulan homeworld of Romulus was destroyed by a premature supernova of its Sun.

This turned the tide immensely. Now wanted peace to allow them to recover from this massive loss, the Romulans agreed to sign a much less harsh treaty, formerly ending the hostilities between both sides and allowing the Romulan race to die in peace.
