Before the War

  • Initial conflict considered as officially beginning July 22, 2155, upon destruction of Calder II science station and attacks on Alpha Centauri III and Tarod IX
    • Prior aggression begun at first contact between United Earth and Romulan Star Empire
      • April 17, 2152: First contact, unnamed system, collision by Enterprise NX-01 with cloaked Romulan minefield (ENT: "Minefield")
      • Mid-November 2154: Failed attempt at provoking strife between various Sol-local powers through covert attacks by telepresence drone technology (ENT: "Babel One", "United", "The Aenar")
      • February-May 2155: United Earth covert operations intended to derail Romulan warp 7 project (ENT: The Good That Men Do)
      • February 23, 2155: Warp suicide run by Romulan vessel on Coridan to cut off Coalition access to dilithium (ENT: The Good That Men Do)
      • July 15, 2155: Destruction of ECS Horizon during initial telecapture experiments (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
  • Conflict initially involved full Coalition forces, but vulnerability of non-UE navies to Romulan telecapture led to withdrawal by late-2155; thus usually considered and referred to as the Earth-Romulan War (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
