The 24th century, defined in the calendar of Earth as being from 2301 until 2400, was a period of great conflict between the various races and organizations of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Federation made contact with several powerful new races such as the Borg, the Dominion and the Cardassian Union, all of whom attacked the Federation on several occasions. The Romulan Star Empire entered a fifty year isolation, from which they emerged far stronger than before. The Borg attempted to assimilate Earth twice, first in 2366 and again in 2373. The latter year also saw the beginning of the Dominion War, which ended in 2375, with the major powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants joining together to defeat the Dominion.

In addition, the Federation made its first explorations of the Delta and Gamma Quadrants during the latter half of this century. Additionally, in 2387, the Romulan system was destroyed by a supernova which, due to the actions of Ambassador Spock and Nero, ultimately led to the creation of an alternate reality.

A few months later, a Founder-Changeling bombs the Antwerp Conference between the Federation and the Romulans, giving rise to an attempted but failed coup d'état against Federation President Jaresh-Inyo. Near the end of that year, the Federation's and Klingon's old dispute over the Archanis sector escalates, leading to the Klingon's withdrawal from the Khitomer Accords.
