* Season One of ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]''

* Following the death of [[Romulan Praetor (STO)|Praetor]] [[Shinzon (STO)|Shinzon]] at the [[Battle of Bassen Rift (STO)|Battle of Bassen Rift]], the [[Romulan Star Empire (STO)|Romulan government]] fell into disarray. [[Tal'aura (STO)|Tal'aura]], one of the few remaining members of the Romulan Senate and a former ally of Shinzon, declared herself the new Praetor, supported by Fleet Commander [[Tomalak (STO)|Tomalak]] as the new leader of the Imperial Defense Force. However, Tal'aura's leadership was opposed by Commander [[Donatra (STO)|Donatra]], who with the support of Commander [[Suran (STO)|Suran]] and former Admiral [[Braeg (STO)|Braeg]] retained control of the majority of the Fifth and Third fleets. Any hope of a reconciliation between the two sides ended after the execution of Braeg, and Donatra vowed never to accept Tal'aura's rule. Donatra's rebellion was not Tal'aura's only concern. The [[Remans (STO)|Remans]], led by General [[Xiomek (STO)|Xiomek]] of the Reman Kapeszuk Battalion, demanded control of either a continent on Romulus or a planet with sufficient natural resources to maintain self-sufficient settlements as reparations for hundreds of years of slavery and exploitation. In response, Tal'aura cut shipments of food and needed supplies to Remus and commanded Tomalak to blockade the planet.<ref name="STOPath"/>

* In late 2379, the [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E (STO)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' NCC-1701-E]] underwent a major repair and refit. About half of her crew transferred to other posts during the months-long overhaul, including senior staff officers [[Riker, William (STO)|William T. Riker]] and [[Troi, Deanna (STO)|Deanna Troi]], who are posted on the [[U.S.S. Titan NCC-80104#Star_Trek_Online_Timeline|U.S.S. ''Titan'']], and Chief Medical Officer [[Crusher, Beverly (STO)|Beverly Crusher]], who briefly served as head of [[Starfleet Medical (STO)|Starfleet Medical]] before returning to the ''Enterprise.''<ref name="STOPath"/>

* Two trials are of note during this time. On [[Stardate]] 56867.84, the [[Founders (STO)|Founder]] known as the [[Female Changeling (STO)|Female Changeling]] was sentenced for crimes committed against sentient beings during the [[Dominion War (STO)|Dominion War]] and committed to the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] maximum security facility at Ananke Alpha. And on Stardate 58370.4, [[Ro Laren (STO)|Ro Laren]] surrendered to [[Starfleet (STO)|Starfleet]] custody. A former member of Starfleet who defected to the [[Maquis (STO)|Maquis]] in [[2370 (STO)|2370]], Ro pleaded guilty to charges of desertion and was ordered to report to a penal facility on [[Earth (STO)|Earth]] for rehabilitation.<ref name="STOPath"/>

* The deepening economic crisis on [[Cardassia Prime (STO)|Cardassia Prime]] was a concern to both the [[United Federation of Planets (STO)|Federation]] and the [[Klingon Empire (STO)|Klingon Empire]] in 2380. The Cardassians were devastated by [[Dominion (STO)|Dominion]] bombardment in the final days of the Dominion War, suffering more than 800 million casualties. Large portions of Cardassia Prime were in ruins and the Cardassian government did not have the resources to recover. Nevertheless, they rejected most Federation aid. A notable exception to this stance is the [[Andak project (STO)|Andak project]], a Federation-funded program intended to restore Cardassia Prime's agricultural base. Led by [[O'Brien, Keiko (STO)|Keiko O'Brien]], the Andak project initially faced stiff reistance from xenophobic groups such as the [[True Way (STO)|True Way]], as well as Gul [[Macet (STO)|Macet]]'s conservative bloc of the government. Only the influence of Cardassian governmental adviser [[Garak, Elim (STO)|Elim Garak]], a supporter of the fledgling democracy movement, allowed the Andak project to proceed, and the team was permitted to continue its work to make the barran desert climate of Cardassia Prime support sufficient crops to feed its population. Experts at the [[Daystrom Institute (STO)|Daystrom Institute]] predicted that without more successful projects like the Andak initiative, the Cardassian Union could fall in as little as three years.<ref name="STOPath"/>
