Buffer Treaty

The Buffer Treaty was a diplomatic agreement that was made by the Romulan Star Empire and the government that became known as the United Federation of Planets.

The treaty led to the establishment of what was later known as the Romulan Neutral Zone after the events of the Earth-Romulan War. It allowed the creation of outposts on either side of the Neutral Zone with no limitation set on their number though the crew compliments along with their arrangements were set. 


 * The FASA material states that the treaty was between the UFP and the Romulans but this contradicts canon which showed that the UFP did not exist before the Earth-Romulan War. Thus, its likely that the agreement was between the Romulans and either the United Earth, Earth Alliance or the Coalition of Planets.
