Outpost 22

Outpost 22 was the name of a small Federation Starfleet station that became the site of an interstellar incident in 2380. That year, several Remans aboard an appropriated 22nd Century Romulan vessel crossed the Romulan Neutral Zone and sought asylum in the Federation aboard Outpost 22. This was opposed by the Klingon Empire, who considered the Remans to be their protectorates under the terms of a prior treaty with the Reman leadership; further, while public opinion was strongly in favor of granting asylum, Outpost 22's commanding officers suspected that the Remans had a hidden agenda. When Federation President Nanietta Bacco of Cestus III denied asylum, the hunch proved correct, and the Remans rammed the station, destroying all aboard the ship and killing three Outpost 22 crewmembers.
