Date: 2293

The explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis in 2293 triggered catastrophic ecological damage on the Klingon homeworld and brought the Klingon economy close to collapse. In response, Chancellor Gorkon initiated peace talks with the United Federation of Planets, with Spock serving as a special envoy. The conference was originally planned for Earth but was relocated after Gorkon was assassinated en route. Despite attempts by a joint Klingon, Federation, and Romulan conspiracy to sabotage the process, the talks at Camp Khitomer succeeded, marking a historic turning point in Federation–Klingon relations. In 2344, the Battle of Narendra III had a decisive influence on interstellar history. As the Klingons were betrayed by the Romulan Star Empire and were deeply impressed by the courage of the USS Enterprise-C, this event had the effect of finally ending Romulan-Klingon relations and solidifying Federation-Klingon relations. In 2372, Gowron withdrew the Klingon Empire from the Khitomer Accords in response to the Federation Council's condemnation of his invasion of the Cardassian Union. The following year, Gowron reinstated the treaty at Captain Benjamin Sisko's request when an alliance between the Dominion and the Cardassian Union threatened to throw the Alpha Quadrant into war.
