Treaty of Gabriel

The Treaty of Gabriel, signed in 2321.Q3, brought an end to the fighting in the Gabriel Expanse, after some 8 years of limited war. It followed a series of Federation victories in the Gabriel, notably the Battle of 45 Gabriel.

Lead-Up to the Treaty
In late 2320, the Ashalla Pact radically altered their cryptographic protocols, leading Starfleet Intelligence to believe that an offensive was imminent, after about two years of peace in the Gabriel following Hybor's Offensive. Instead, credible reports suddenly emerged from FDS Intelligence, that the Ashalla Pact was considering a treaty to end the war.

Ceasefire
In 2321.Q2, following a few months of skirmishes, the Ashalla Pact and the UFP agreed to a ceasefire along the hg-Plane, and a restriction to only auxiliary starships. At this time, SFI also managed to crack the new cryptographic protocol.

The Treaty
Finally, in Q3, the Treaty of Gabriel was signed. It provided for a demilitarized zone, and, more critically, a neutral station in the zone which would be placed under joint administration.
