Relations between the Federation and the Star Empire have traditionally been strained.  First contact in 2156 led to a war and the establishment of the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2160.  The Romulans and Klingons entered into an alliance in 2268 which resulted in the exchange of military technology and spacecraft designs.  The Romulans have gone into several periods of isolation when there was no contact with the Federation.  The most recent of these was from 2398 until 2406 during a Borg invasion of Romulan space.  It is still not clear what precipitated or ended the Borg invasion.

In 2407, the Romulans joined the Federation in the founding of Deep Space Station 12 to explore the Herod II wormhole in the Neutral Zone.  When the Dominion invaded the Beta Quadrant in 2408 and attacked Starbase Gamma, the Romulan Star Empire joined the Federation to repel the invaders.  Later that year, a formal agreement was reached that there would be a total cessation of hostilities between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire for the duration of the Dominion situation.  In 2413, with no visible threat from the Dominion for several years, the resolve of both sides to support the entente is beginning to weaken.

In 2420, renewed Dominion activity on the far side of the Herod wormhole led to a renewed focus on cooperation. Joint missions into the Gamma Quadrant became an almost routine occurrence and the military presence at DS-12 was increases. Construction began on Starbase Masada, a much-enlarged facility to replace what had been, essentially, a communications node on the Gamma-Quadrant side of the Herod wormhole.
