(FASA 2220: "An Imbalance of Power"; FASA-2224: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Sourcebook)
September
- Reference Stardate 2/1109: Federation Genetics Research Station 17 (GRS 17), located on Aleph III near the Klingon Neutral Zone, is closed by Starfleet orders.

- Reference Stardate 2/1109.30: An abandoned Romulan planetary base is discovered on Eridam, a mining world near the Triangle. Its Romulan inhabitants were wiped out by LV-132, a viral epidemic disease also known to affect Vulcans. No military information is gained, but personal diaries, children's books, works of fiction, and other non-military writings are recovered. This body of work, known as the Eridam Papers, adds much to the Federation's meager store of knowledge about the Romulans. The Vulcan connection is supported by anatomical drawings, Romulan legends, and children's history books. Based on the Eridam Papers, some political thinkers speculate that negotiation may be possible with the Empire. Others see no hope for negotiation and press for even stronger measures to curb "the Romulan threat." The Federation Council votes to maintain a stronger military presence along the Romulan Neutral Zone and near the Triangle, and asks Starfleet Intelligence to gather as much intelligence data as possible about Romulan military capabilities and tactics.
