During the late 2280s and very early 2290s, the rising tensions between the Federation and the Klingon Empire significantly stretched Star Fleet resources across the Alpha and Beta quadrants. This led to a reduction in the number and types of ships allocated to border patrols and anti-piracy activities. Worlds within the Triangle feared that their support of the Federation would prove detrimental in the anticipated conflict.

The AOFW was one group who felt that Star Fleet support was lacking. AOFW representatives complained to the Federation Council, who promptly referred the issue to Star Fleet. Star Fleet Command referred to issues of policy back to the Council. Behind closed doors, the AOFW was informed that Star Fleet resources were simply spread too thin, and that only a major attack would warrant the gathering of significant military resources in the Triangle.

Frustrated with the situation, and with limited financial support from the Federation, the AOFW turned to the ever-opportunistic Orions to help remedy the saturation.
