Tensions between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire continue to escalate when negotiations break down over the disputed territory near QI'tomer. Qvarne Foreign Minister Sam Bungar's "Bungar Accords," while supported by both the UQS and and Klingons, are rejected by President Salizar on the eve of the treaty signing.

Nine of the Bajoran Orbs go dark, leaving only the Orb of the Emissary still functional but unable to be consulted. As a result, Bajoran citizens protest the presence of non-Bajorans in their space; especially non-Bajorans who own property or live in Bajoran space. The Bajoran Free Nation posts a statement of neutrality, which leads to a misunderstanding between the BFN and the UFP when the Breen Confederacy and Klingon Empire send ships to assist in patrols of Bajoran space. A misunderstanding between the GFA and the Bajoran Free Nation (started the previous month) degenerates to the point that the GFA no longer recognizes the BFN as a valid nation. Repeated attempts at negotiation, on the part of the GFA fail. The leadership of the Bajoran government refused to communicate and negotiate with representatives of the GFA.
In the Bajoran system, primarily on Bajor, Jeraddo and Deep Space 9, posters sprang up demanding the return to traditional Bajoran values and the expulsion of all aliens, from a group calling itself "For a Clean Life and a Pure Bajor." This group also later claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Romulan-owned s'Radaik Estate in Paqu province, Bajor, which killed several Bajorans and Romulans and wounded many more.
