The “No Peace Beyond the Line” Memorandum represented the first major break in Starfleet policymaking since the end of the Romulan War in 2161. By placing defensive measures and military action to counter Klingon aggression above Starfleet’s ongoing mission, Admiral Ch’Shukar’s memorandum would radically alter the nature of Starfleet activity within the Disputed Area. While the document itself is short by Starfleet standards, the doctrinal changes and operational plans based on its reasoning would be at the core of Starfleet Command until the end of the Klingon Cold War.
