The Ceremony of Reconciliation was a complex ritual involving an arranged marriage between the empathic metamorph Kamala and Alrik of Valt. It was performed by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a holodeck replica of the ancient Valtese Temple of Akadar on the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D on Stardate 45766.1. Its purpose was to end the centuries-long war between the Valtese and Kriosian systems, and it was conducted at a mid-point between these two systems.
