- RSD 1/9406.05 (5 June): The U.S.S. Bonhomme Richard NCC-1712, on routine patrol, locates and retrieves the U.S.S. Gulliver's recorder buoy, which reveals the vessel's fate. In light of the recent Arcannis massacre, the Federation Council demands that Klingon forces at Axanar withdraw to their border under Star Fleet escort. The Klingon Admiral Kkorhetza at Axanar is permitted four months to receive instructions from his government. The U.S.S. Xenophon is already en route to Axanar.[1]
July
- RSD 1/9407.09 (9 July): The U.S.S. Xenophon reaches Axanar several hours before the U.S.S. Bonhomme Richard NCC-1712, and so Captain Garth is given command of a scout squadron assigned to monitor the Klingon task force.[1]

- RSD 1/9409.29 (29 September): Unaware of the results of the Battle of Axanar, the Klingon Empire declares war on the Federation.[5] In response to the Federation Council, Admiral Kkorhetza refuses to withdraw his ships from Federation territory, issuing a formal declaration of alliance with the natives of Axanar. This results in a state of war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the Four Years War begins.[3][1] As both Federation and Klingon forces attempt end runs to find weak spots in the other's defenses, fighting soon moves into the Triangle area.[6] Though tactical experts expect the Romulan Star Empire to enter the war on one side or the other, they do not.[7]
