| - The Khitomer Conference was the first full peace negotiations between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire in 2293, held at Camp Khitomer, a Klingon colony on the planet Khitomer near the border with the Federation. Following the destruction of the Klingon moon of Praxis, Chancellor Gorkon reached out to the Federation for détente and an end to the lengthy and costly hostilities between the two superpowers. Following Gorkon's assassination by anti-peace operatives from Starfleet, his daughter, Azetbur, became chancellor and continued her father's peace initiative. For security reasons, the location of the conference was kept secret. However, both sides underestimated the extent of the Khitomer conspiracy. Eventually, personnel from the USS Enterprise-A and the USS Excelsior intervened, preventing an assassination attempt against the Federation President and exposing the conspiracy. Ultimately, the Khitomer Conference led to the signing of the Khitomer Accords and the beginnings of nearly a century of peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Star Trek: Insurrection; DS9: "The Way of the Warrior") Captain Spock and Ambassador Pardek first met during the Khitomer conference and began setting forth the goal of reuniting the Vulcan and Romulan governments. (TNG: "Unification I" ) One of the Federation ambassadors present at the conference was Curzon Dax. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited") One of Chancellor Azetbur's delegation members was Colonel Worf.

Captain Kirk was also finally able to grant forgiveness to the Klingons for the death of his son, David Marcus - stating that his son's faith had finally been restored. During the conference, Captain Spock met the Romulan delegate Pardek, who had been assisting Ambassador Nanclus until Nanclus had been exposed as a member of the conspiracy and arrested. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) Seeing an opportunity to manipulate Spock for political advantage, Pardek cultivated a friendship with Spock. In 2368, Pardek used this friendship with Spock to expose Romulan dissidents, many of whom were then killed by Proconsul Neral's elite soldiers. (TNG episode & novelization: Unification) Kimara Cretak, then a Subaltern and Pardek's aide, was also present at the conference where she too cultivated a relationship, with Nyota Uhura. (TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows) Another delegate present at the conference was Curzon Dax, who helped in negotiating the agreements between the two powers. These agreements, which would become known as the Khitomer Accords would become one of the foundations of the Klingon-Federation Alliance. They would remain in effect until Chancellor Gowron withdrew from the Accords following the Federation Council's refusal to support the Klingon invasion of Cardassia in 2372.
