Corillian Incident

The Corillian Incident was a short war between the Romulan Star Empire and the Corillian race.

The conflict started on Stardate -1/0401 when the previously unknown race known as the Corillians attacked from a spinward position into Romulan space. Having little force in that area, the Romulans sustained heavy casualties with the war lasting six months. However, as the Corillians were a much smaller culture, they were quickly conquered by the Romulans and one of the first space farring cultures assimilated into the empire.

Between Stardates -1/0600 to -1/8600, the Corillian Incident made the Romulans realize the necessity in watching their space from all directions and not just focus on the coreward main expansion. This led to a period of consolidation whilst the empire began strengthening their existing borders.
