C. JULY – 2270?

Star Trek: Romulans – Schism #1 – It’s at least 1 year/maybe 2 since the end of ‘Star Trek: Romulans – The Hollow Crown #2’ as Praetor Gaius has married and his wife is about to give birth. Evidence in the other issues supports a later date. The ‘Memory Beta’ timeline places the miniseries after Chapter 4 – the May to July 22, 2270 sections of ‘Forgotten History’. In absence of any other evidence I’ll place the miniseries there for now. The Klingons have been supplying the Romulans with ships and weapons circumventing the Organian peace treaty. The Romulans are now in a position to strike against the Federation. Kor is given ten days to complete the operation. The Federation has a cloaking device. Kloor is the Klingon ambassador to Romulus. Kloor has heard rumors that the Federation has obtained a cloaking device. Commodore (Number One) is in command of the USS Yorktown NCC–1717. Commander Kor’s ship is heavily damaged by the USS Yorktown. Commander Kor rams the bridge/primary hull of the USS Yorktown.

Star Trek: Romulans – Schism #2 – Commodore (Number One) is in command of the USS Yorktown NCC–1717. Cadet/Ensign Griggs from ‘Star Trek: Crew #1 – Shakedown’ and ‘Star Trek: Crew #2 –The Bottle’ is now a full admiral. The Romulan cloaking device has recently been installed on the USS Yorktown. Neutral Zone Monitor Base 108 has been in operation more than 100 years. Subspace chatter has been saying for a few years that Starfleet/Captain Kirk and the Enterprise captured one of the cloaking devices. (Note: The unnamed technician could be confusing/combining the events of ‘Balance Of Terror’ and ‘The Enterprise Incident’. If not, and John Byrne really meant for it to be a few years since ‘The Enterprise Incident’, then it’s about 2272.) The Praetor, Gaius, is in command of the newest flagship, named after his father. Gaius has claimed the space 3000 kilometers outside the Neutral Zone as well as a sphere extending 100 light years around Romulus. Captain Koloth is commander of The Blade of Kadoth. Captain Koloth discovers the remains of Kor’s ship.
Star Trek: Romulans – Schism #3 – It’s been six hours since the Praetor left for the Neutral Zone. Gaius and the crew of the Romulan flagship watch Commander Kor ram the bridge of the USS Yorktown. Gaius beams Kor and the Commodore/bridge crew of the Yorktown to the flagship. Captain Koloth watches as the Yorktown decloaks. Koloth mentions that he has heard rumors that Captain Kirk had stolen a Romulan cloaking device. (Note: It’s interesting to note that in Issue #1, Ambassador Kloor is unaware of who stole the cloaking device, while in this issue Koloth knows or at least suspects that Captain Kirk stole the cloaking device from the Romulans.) The bridge and primary hull of the Yorktown are destroyed/heavily damaged and Number One is running the ship from the auxiliary bridge. Klingon, Starfleet, Romulan reinforcements arrive and engage in combat until the Organians intervene and once more impose the terms of the treaty now to include the Romulans. The Praetor, his mind is destroyed and he slips into cationic when he learns the truth behind his father’s death. Commander Kor and Captain Koloth receive promotions after Kor lies and tells the Emperor that it was his daughter’s plan to manipulate the Romulans into a war with the Federation. On Romulus, the Queen announces that until her unborn son of Gaius reaches maturity she will rule Romulus. Ambassador Kloor and all other Klingons are expelled from Romulus and she declares the Klingon/Romulan alliance is at an end.
