Other events[]

According to Section 31 estimates made in 2375, the Klingon Empire will have finally recovered from their losses incurred during the Dominion War. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
Starfleet is in the process of resettling Romulans threatened by an impending supernova. This includes the settlement of refugees on Vashti. (PIC: "Remembrance", "Absolute Candor")
April 5: Compromised synthetics are used by the Tal Shiar cabal Zhat Vash to launch an attack on Mars, setting the planet ablaze and destroying the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards as well as the 20,000-ship rescue armada which was under construction there and intended for Romulus. (ST: "Children of Mars", PIC: "Remembrance", "Maps and Legends", PRO: "Ouroboros, Part II")
- In the aftermath of this attack, Starfleet Command was asked to "scale back" operations, ceasing all exploratory missions and focusing on protecting Federation citizens. Admirals Janeway and Picard both opposed the move, but Fleet admiral Jellico stated in a meeting with several Starfleet Officers that, with the loss of the A500s, resource shortages, and a lack of engineers, that Starfleet's mission of "peace" would have to wait. (PRO: "Ouroboros, Part II")
- Starfleet abandons its plans to aid the Romulan evacuation, a decision leading Admiral Picard to resign his commission. The decision is informed by concerns that the Federation might implode over support for the Romulans, as even before the attack, fourteen species within the Federation have threatened to pull out over the issue. Also as a result of the attack, synthetic lifeforms are banned throughout the Federation and research is halted, which was the Zhat Vash's original goal. (PIC: "Remembrance", "The End is the Beginning")

Per "Remembrance", by 2399 making synths was banned by "galactic treaty", which might refer to this ban or a subsequent development. Also while per "The End is the Beginning" all research was halted after the attack, as of 2399 theoretical research was allowed.
