Reference Stardate 2/1801 through 2/1812
- RSD 2/18: In a move to transmit disinformation to Star Fleet Intelligence and occupy the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Military Division Intelligence decides to transform an operative into an outcast, who will make contact with the Federation intelligence community. Commander Decartus recruits R'thlana to become a voluntary k'manatram. R'thlana becomes an operative for Military Division Intelligence, but the change in service is not noted on her service record. R'thlana attends training sessions during her off-duty hours.[1]
- RSD 2/18: Without the concurrence of the Yhout patriarch, Fayel R'Zaad attacks and destroys a small Romulan mining colony on Rockhaven. Later, he buys and outfits a private vessel of his own to escort his cruiser. This private vessel acts in an even more piratical way than the large cruiser. R'Zaad is careful to make sure that a large portion of the profits are given to Yhout to outfit the ships of the other members of his large family.[1]
- RSD 2/18: A BioResearch advance team is landed on the moon of Newlin II to set up a corboryte retrieval operation.[1]
- RSD 2/18: Faced with continued unrest, Kexor calls for a revision of the Sherman's World colony's governmental structure. A dual monarchy is established as a form of government to which the Klingon colonists, in particular, can better identify. Kexor and Thadeus MacDonald are named the colony's rulers. Work begins on a new palace for the colony's rulers, thus solidifying the monarchy.[2]
- RSD 2/18-2/23 (2218 through 2223): Fayel R'Zaad continues to expand his private fleet. By the end of 2223, he will have 20 private ships operating under his command in raiding operations. He absorbs one family after another, always demanding the same oath from the new commander: that they will obey his commands or face death. He establishes a base planet of his own, well outside the control of the original Orion families; and, although he pledges loyalty and support to his seniors, there is some feeling of discomfort toward him.[1]
January

Rome NCC-2726 respond to a distress signal from a Federation outpost in the Orion sector. The outpost is under attack by a group of six Klingon D-18B class destroyers commanded by Captain Kresz sutai Kargon. When the conflict is over, the Federation outpost and all three Star Fleet vessels are destroyed; the Klingons lose only two destroyers.[5]
- RSD 2/1802: The Chandley class frigate U.S.S. Hanson NCC-2309, operating near the Gorn border, encounters two Gorn cruisers boarding a Liberty class freighter. The Hanson engages the Gorn, and then Star Fleet Marines board Gorn vessels for the first time in history.[5]
- RSD 2/1802-1807 (February through July 2218): Although Operation Armageddon receives a go-ahead, programming efforts are hampered by a lack of hard data on Klingon and Romulan activities.[5]
May
- RSD 2/1805: Star Fleet Intelligence later learns that several Romulan S-11 class scouts are delivered to the Klingon Empire as part of a technological exchange treaty. This vessel, re-equipped with Klingon shipboard systems, becomes the K-22A Bird of Prey class scout.[5]

- RSD 2/1808.10 (10 August): Saavik, ward of Sarek of Vulcan, enters Star Fleet Academy. Family prestige and the personal intervention of Sarek's famous son, Captain Spock, heads off a storm of controversy over the admission of a "Romulan" to the Academy. Though only a half-Romulan and raised as a Vulcan, Saavik is seen as an enemy alien by many Federation bigots, including those who lost many family members to the Romulans. Nevertheless, Saavik, who has embraced Vulcan teachings, is a valuable resource to Star Fleet, for whom she interprets intelligence data about the Romulans. Because of her help, many myths are put to rest and a better understanding of Romulan psychology develops.[10]
