| rdfs:comment | - The Romulans referred to the buffer as the Outmarches. (TOS novel: My Enemy, My Ally, ENT novel: The Romulan War: To Brave the Storm) In the 22nd and 23rd centuries, the Zone was monitored by Earth Outpost Stations on the Federation side. ("Balance of Terror")
- The Romulan Neutral Zone, called the Avrrhinul ("Outmarches") in Rihan, is a buffer region between Federation and Romulan territory. It was set up after the Earth-Romulan War in 2160.
- During the Neutral Zone Incursion of 2266, the location of the Romulan Neutral Zone was labeled on a map of Sector Z-6 that was displayed on the bridge viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "Balance of Terror" , production art) In 2293, the location of the Romulan Neutral Zone in the Milky Way Galaxy was labeled in a star chart that was in Captain James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country okudagram)
- The Romulan Neutral Zone is an area of neutral space between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire that was established after the end of the Earth-Romulan War. Entry by either side into the Zone constitutes an act of war. There have, however, been several breaches, most in the late 24th century. It has also been stated that if a Federation starship is caught in the Zone, the Romulans can seize and impound the vessel, to contravene would mean war. This, however, seems to only apply to the Federation and not the Romulans, it also seems to be void in cases of a stalemate.
- The treaty called for a 1 light-year area between both powers, and neither side would be allowed to cross into the zone without prior agreement from the other side, or war would be declared. Any vessel found to have crossed into the zone would be impounded and its crew sent home after they were processed. To monitor the zone, both Starfleet and the Romulans established a number of outposts along the border which would monitor activity in the zone. By the 24th century the Federation's outposts numbered 43, stretching along the entire western periphery of the Neutral Zone.

(TOS episode: "Balance of Terror"; ST references: Star Fleet Technical Manual, Star Charts) The Zone stretched from just west of the star Garadius, westward to sectors Z-6 and Bolarus, southeast past Starbase 23 to Lambda Hydrae, then northeast along the border with the Klingon Empire and the Federation's eastern regions before terminating between Lambda Crateris and Delta Doradus. (ST reference: Star Charts) Sectors 130, 134 and 142 were all located on the Federation border of the Neutral Zone. (TNG episode: "The Measure of a Man") These sectors was mentioned as part of mission information visible on a computer viewscreen at Data's JAG hearing.
- The Romulan Neutral Zone is an area of neutral space between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire that was established after the end of the Earth-Romulan War. Entry by either side into the Zone constitutes an act of war. There have, however, been several breaches, most in the late 24th century.

This, however, seems to only apply to the Federation and not the Romulans, it also seems to be void in cases of a stalemate. After the war, at least eight Earth Outpost Stations were built on asteroids along the Zone. In 2266, four of these outposts were destroyed by a [[Romulan BoP. Commander Hansen was in command of Earth Outpost 4 until its destruction. In 2311 the Neutral Zone was reinforced and redefined in the Treaty of Algeron. Deanna Troi recalled this fact when she discussed the Pegasus Incident with Commander Riker. In 2365, the Enterprise D was ordered to investigate the Neutral Zone to solve a mystery concerning the disappearance of a string of Federation outposts. It is later presumed that the outposts were decimated by the Borg due to a signature obliterative technique unique to their kind. A crew member aboard the ship, Worf, describes it: "The outpost was just not destroyed, it's as though some great force just scooped it off the face of the planet". Later that year, the Enterprise-D encountered a Borg Cube that presumably obliterated several other populations in uncharted space in the same fashion. In 2373, the Enterprise E was ordered to patrol the Neutral Zone during the second Borg assault on Earth, as Starfleet Command felt that Jean-Luc Picard's experience with the Borg would make him a risk during the battle to defend Earth. Before the Romulans joined the Dominion War in late 2374, the bulk of their fleet was deployed along the Neutral Zone. The USS Cairo disappeared and was presumed destroyed by the Dominion near the Neutral Zone. It was believed that the Dominion ships had crossed from the Romulan side of the Zone to attack the Cairo, something they were allowed to do as per their nonaggression pact with the Romulans. In 2379, Praetor Shinzon proposed that the Neutral Zone should be abolished. This idea was set aside when Shinzon revealed his true purpose.
