Signed on January 2nd, 2362, just three years following the suspension of [[Operation Coldstone]] and [[Operation Silky Tension]], the Treaty of Strahelm is a landmark diplomatic agreement between the United [[Federation]] of Planets and [[Solas Tempus]]. This significant treaty presents crucial provisions regarding prisoner management, intelligence sharing, territorial sovereignty, classified information confidentiality, time travel technology regulation, and the safeguarding of the [[Temporal Reconciliations]]. At its core, the Treaty mandates comprehensive sharing of non-military personnel or operatives' records upon detention between parties, encourages cooperation in exchanging security resources, and upholds respect for territorial sovereignty. The Treaty also places stringent restrictions on the use of time travel technology, confining its use solely to Solas Tempus for timeline protection, thereby highlighting a joint responsibility to prevent time travel threats. The preservation of classified information in the Treaty further consolidates a mutual respect for information security, laying a robust groundwork for a long-lasting, peaceful interstellar relationship.
A treaty between the [[United Federation of Planets]] and the [[Serenity Concord]], among other things it outlines the rules of how prisoners are dealt with on either side as well as the sharing of intelligence and other security resources.


One of the provisions states that prisoners who are non-military or captured during non-sanctioned operations require that the side who captures the prisoner to be sent all records regarding the prisoner. Failure to do so would constitute a serious violation of the treaty and be seen the same as admitting that the prisoner was there on official business of the government.  Such an admission without permission could end in military action and the dissolution of the treaty. Since other aspects of the [[Temporal Reconciliations]] rely on this treaty, that is seen as a no-win scenario and would have serious ramifications throughout known space.
