Did this lead to the militant faction of starfleet disbanding or were they still a semi-relevant faction afterwards that the next generation had to overcome for the golden era to come?
Funny how during the Dominion War the Romulans needed Starfleet as a buffer after being compromised by the Dominion and time to refit and build plus allowing a cloak that was hard to use as Dominion sensors

As a courier by profession I do several long routes and routinely get 300-400 miles a day. As someone who’s enjoyed trek but not known a lot of history behind it these are always interesting to listen to on the road.
This part of trek history is, questionable at best. While this IS a part trek history for the most part, it makes little sense the treaty of banning the federation from using cloaking devices would ever actually happen. Seriously who outside of democrats in todays world would ever agree to giving an enemy a massive tactical advantage.
@@tarn1135 Well, both Republican and Democratic administrations have been party to strategic arms limitation treaties so, actually, I find it totally believable.
@@miamijules2149 sweetie I was joking around. As many have said before Trek actually is very political, and funnily enough I’ve said the EXACT same thing you just did and I personally agree with you about escapism.

Tbh, I kind of hope it’s the democrat one so I can throw it back someday but nowadays you can never really tell. 😂

This was another fantastically awesome and gloriously brilliant addition to the history and lore of star trek regarding the infamous tomed incident compared to the canon lore. As one dramatic confrontation and boiling point. Only needing a spark to touch a war after two decades of escalating tensions and incidents off in a bloody galaxy wide conflict makes so much more sense than the secret mission of cannon that is only averted by the skin of ones teeth and captains on both sides. Plus starfleet having a decent crop of cloaked ships to match the romulans also makes the giving up of said tech in the treaty of algeron a far more meaningful concession than in canon.
You are going heavy on the submarine stuff. You are doing great fanfiction, I am usually not very accommodating to fanfiction overriding beta works, but Kudos where it's due, good job, interesting story
I love how both sides inflicted the needless casualties that made this "Tomed Incident" so controversial. Although it seemed like from dialogue that it was the Romulans who solely did the attack. With this added context, it can be said that the naming of "incident" has a bit of shame attached to it. Like it was one of the few (known) times that the Federation Starfleet committed a serious war crime. This realization sobered by the fact that the Romulans did the same thing lol. The old TOS way of thinking was no more... The TNG way of thinking had begun. This would have it's downsides and benefits.
@@charlestaylor253 Nobody requests assignments to Oberth class starships. They're a mandatory part of service. It's why Starfleet officers are so utterly unfazed by the weirdest and most horrible shit space can throw at them. The service on an Oberth means that when the Fuckening happens, you're ready for it.
Literally it’s always been terrible. I mean I don’t blame the writers it makes sense. Just, maybe Mars or maybe just half way if I was moving in the Trek universe. Yeah half way, just enough people and infrastructure but it’s not suffocating.
I'll bet things really got heated up again between the Federation and the Romulans after the Battle of Nerendra 3 where 4 Romulan Warbirds attacked the Klingon Outpost there and the Ambassador Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C came to the outposts defense and was destroyed with a loss of all hands as a result.
Ah I missed the primer. Unfortunate. Regardless, this has once again been a thrilling experience. It is indeed great to finally see this event after months of buildup. One could feel the tension and both the _Crimson Tide_ inspiration as well as this essentially being Starfleet's _Cuban Missile Crisis._ Until the next Wings video is "decloaked", keep what of the night skies, for you may not know what, or who, might be there.
Awesome finale! I wouldn't have minded seeing more of Sulu and the negotiations - I understand it might have helped lessen the dramatic tension of the building war, but the Romulan Commander so willing to go out of his way to negotiate didn't even have a name. So I wouldn't mind hearing more about the diplomatic efforts here.
Great stuff. The use of the term “incident” doesn’t quite fit this kind of escalating crisis, but this is better version of Tomed than I’ve heard from beta canon sources.
Terrific, you did a great job of building the tension. The Tomed incident is a blank canvas as far as Canon is concerned and you filled it in beautifully 👍👌
Interesting, cold-war Inspired take on what could have led Starfleet into negotiating away cloaking technology. Also characterizing Sulu as feeling guilty for how close this military brinkmanship came to a particularly pyrrhic form of interstellar war helps explain how his presidency demilitarized Starfleet and ushered in the "golden age" of the mid 24th century. Elegant way to tie up all those pesky loose plot threads!
I get the feeling it was less demilitarizing and more nobody they had a conflict with was enough of a threat to need anything more than the assload of Excelsiors and Mirandas the Federation made.
It also shows why the Federation was so against military solutions to problems. The idea of peaceful diplomacy as the right way was so ingrained that decades later the Federation refused to call their border conflict with the Cardassians a war.
Worst mistake in Star Trek history was giving up the cloak. You never give up a technological edge. Clearly they got a new one in the dominion war so maybe they were allowed to have them again.
Nice to see the Romulans outsmart a gas detecting photon torpedo. On the other hand, it was interesting that even one photon torpedo was useful! Commodore Sulu the Swashbuckler! I'd forgotten the fun he seemed to be having swinging that blade in TOS. I suppose that a somewhat chastened Federation was willing to give up cloaking tech. The Federation was willing to be remarkably provocative in this time, more typical peacenik thinking reasserting itself? Maybe so. Better to give up cloaking than guns, perhaps? Concentrate on sensors and shields and structural integrity fields to compensate? Maybe to build big, technically advanced ships to patrol the neutral zone to counter Romulan cloaking. It's also not impossible that the Klingon Empire was angered at a Federation buildup after the Khitomer Accords? Giving up cloaking tech might have been just as much to mollify the Klingons and to keep the Khitomer Accords alive as it was to have a 'reset' with the Romulans? The Federation might have been thinking that they might have been in the process of snatching defeat from the jaws of their victory in achieving peace at Khitomer? This also suggests a political mechanism as to how a peace with Klingons at Khitomer might have devolved to a state of a long war as seen in "Yesterday's Enterprise"?
Just watched this 2 parter again… Absolutely Epic stuff Mike! Probably…imho anyway…some of the best stuff you’ve done to date. Fantastic work sir! Thank you for all you do here. 😎👍
One of my takeaways from the shows was how it would take the patience of a saint to share a border with the Romulans. With certain exceptions, the majority of minor confrontations and major conflicts they find themselves in are of their own making, usually by brought on after they're caught violating treaty borders. And yet they're always quick to play the victim when caught on an aggressive stance in someone else's space, and then to demand concessions at the negotiating table. The Empire comes off sounding like a pathocracy, a government run by and for sociopaths. And you've gotta feel bad for the normal romulan joes who have to deal with that government's decisions.
fantastic videos-Paramount should take notice. Too bad you could not get George Takai for Sulu-very well done in plot, effects. looking foreward to seeing more..best of luck...
I've been looking forward to this for a while. Great Job! Started watching you back at the tail end of the Romulan War series. If I can do a read for you... hit me up!
I really liked this, you presented a logical reasoning behind one of the unsolved questions of Trek, why wouldn't the Federation develop cloaks? And now we see why...
I definitely like your version of this a lot better than what they came up with in the novels. I hope you don't mind if I use it as inspiration for a fan series I'd like to write at some point.
The term 'Incident' does not do justice to the brief but bloody exchange. It seems as well that the occurrences which played out on those 40 days were truly the last outings of the starfleet of old, the younger generations who would come after wouldn't remember a war so deadly and the notions would seem outdated and ones of a more primitive era. It wouldn't be long before that new generation made a whole other set of mistakes that would cost the lives of many more.
Honestly it makes sense if you consider it's typical leftist policies that subvert our own nation. Need a parallel? Look at the democrats here in the US. Weakening us while allowing our enemies to do whatever they want.
That perspective has never made sense to me because anyone who has ever watched Star Trek nows that even when they can use them the Federation often doesn't because the Federation has these amazing shields and you can't use them when cloaked and being cloaked is not very Federation. Essentially the Federation giving up cloaking devices is an easy trade.
@@nunya3163 Look up the uboat casualties in world war 2 then tell me how much better it is to not be seen than to be able to protect yourself when you are shot.

The torpedo hitting its own ship bugged me. Not that they could throw it off and have it track its own ship, but actually damaging it. It would have safety measures against this sort of thing happening or the ship could remote detonate it once they realized it was tracking them. Even modern torpedoes have these kinds of safety features.
Lots of Crimson Tide-based inspiration in here. Great fun but goes against canon… but since nowadays that includes Sai Trek Discovery and Picard…. who cares? ;)
This needs to be its own series. They brought Captain Picard back. Paramount should do a 2 season series for Admiral Sulu and Captain Chekov. I think this story could be well told in 20 episodes.
Loved your take on this unexplored piece of Star Trek lore....though I do have to wonder; if Tri Cobalt weapons were band by the Treaty of Algeron, what was USS Voyager doing with a pair of them when she left DS9?
Heh, I had a feeling there was alot of "crimson tide" in this tale. 😉 And why not? It is the greatest naval film of all time! It proves that you don't need a war to have all the best elements of war stories. Drama, action and heroics.
A Federation ship couldn’t detonate it’s own torpedo 🙄🤨 BS ! love these most of the time. Also my main problem with Star Trek cannon is the ban on cloaking devices for the Federation only. No one side , would ever do that !!!
I have a question, the end result of situation was the treaty that federation signed giving up cloaking technology. What did the federation get in exchange for this?
I love the implications of this. Not only has it shown how Starfleet adventurism nearly triggered a devastating war, it explains why the Federation would be willing to give up Cloaking technology. When Federation citizens learned their leaders were building cloaking starships armed with planet-busting weapons they'd be outraged, the political backlash must have been staggering. The Hawks in Starfleet were disgraced and the Doves were triumphant, Sulu showing that diplomacy was right and war was wrong. The political echoes of this would ring down the decades, so that even when engaged with the Cardassian Union the Federation refused to acknowledge it was a war and kept offering them terms and peace deals.

Post script, the Tomed incident is why the authority to launch super weapons no longer lies with star fleet captains.

Great job! Great content! Thank you!
Well done 👍 you have yourself a new sub 😊
This should be a series
Would this Second Earth-Romulan War have very bad consequences for eiher side if it did erupt?
Phenomenal storytelling
Giving up cloaking devices was one of the dumbest decisions SF ever made.
Yeah well more then a few ships accidently decloaked into objects they never managed to make them work properly
@@warriorgaming1604 That was one ship, and that was an illegal experiment AFTER they agreed to not have them.
Very nice, both episodes
I have a question, the end result of situation was the treaty that federation signed giving up cloaking technology. What did the federation get in exchange for this?
the incredible moment of the history in star fleet
Great information
brilliant 👏🏿👍🏿.
Execellent work!
I love the implications of this. Not only has it shown how Starfleet adventurism nearly triggered a devastating war, it explains why the Federation would be willing to give up Cloaking technology. When Federation citizens learned their leaders were building cloaking starships armed with planet-busting weapons they'd be outraged, the political backlash must have been staggering. The Hawks in Starfleet were disgraced and the Doves were triumphant, Sulu showing that diplomacy was right and war was wrong. The political echoes of this would ring down the decades, so that even when engaged with the Cardassian Union the Federation refused to acknowledge it was a war and kept offering them terms and peace deals.
this has to be a 2 part movie
