Negotiations began on board [[DS13|Deep Space 13]] in mid-2418.  Before the nogotiations could proceed very far, however, the Tholian Ambassador was killed.  Initial invesitgations pointed towards agents of the [[Gorn Hegemony]] as being the likely culprits.

As the investigations proceeded, the negotiations continued, this time convening in secret on [[Orestes Prime.  However, both Federation and Tholian ambassadors were killed in a bomb blast.  Again, evidence pointed towards the [[Gorn Hegemony]].

The [[USS CIRCE|USS ''Circe'']] was dispatched to investigate the murder on [[KRIMAXFOR_-_Planets_of_Note#Orestes_Prime|Orestes Prime]] and to secure the continuing negotiations, now taking place on [[KRIMAXFOR_-_Planets_of_Note#Karbella_II|Karbella II]].  Eventually, both the [[DS13]] and the [[USS CIRCE|''Circe'']] investigations would reveal that the murders were in fact carried out by [[OSFI_Section_31_Factfile|Section 31]] operatives in order to drive the Tholians and the Federation into a war with the [[Gorn Hegemony]]- a war the Gorn could not win, thereby removing them from the galactic map and further securing Federation interests along the [[Gold Fleet]] border.
 
Eventually, the Tholians and the Federation signed what became known as [[The Second Tholian Treaty]].  Though specific details of the treaty are still classified, what IS known is that it is a lucrative agreement for both sides.
