May
- RSD 1/9805: Star Fleet's Solar class cutter becomes operational, with almost 1300 built. The first starship class of its size in modern times, it arrives too late to see action, but will serve on postwar picket duty along the new Federation-Klingon border.[3]

The young scion of the House of Liktor, Arthas the Bold, appears on Botchok, having run through the Federation lines in his modified courier. His own world of Hartha has been subjected to degrading restrictions on business and trade, backed by force of arms that no Orion world can withstand.

- RSD 1/9806: Rumors arrive on Botchok of battles beyond the Klingon frontiers, the destruction of all Klingon war fleets, the looting of peaceful Orion planets, secret Klingon super-weapons, and a thousand other wild claims. Refugees flee in earnest, and defense committees spring up in every estate and town.[2]
- RSD 1/9806.13 (13 June): The Four Years War ends with the success of the Axanar Peace Mission. The Treaty of Axanar is signed by dignitaries of the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. Limited diplomatic channels are established, and concessions are made on both sides as the Axanar Peace Mission negotiates details of the settlement and establishes new boundaries.[5][3] Admiral Komex refuses a Federation offer of asylum, and instead returns to Klinzhai after the war as part of a prisoner exchange program.

A riot breaks out in the BPC, and before it ends, two members are slain. Under protest and by a bare majority, the Orions capitulate, and Orion Space legally becomes a 20-parsec sphere with strict borders.[8]
