Treaties  The Bureau of Planetary Treaties, also referred to
simply as the Bureau of Treaties was the United Federation of
Planets agency responsible to conducting planetary treaties. It
was located in the Sol Sector. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
During the mid-23rd century, the Bureau of Planetary Treaties
attempted for many years to coerce the Gideon Council to allow
them to send diplomats to their planet in effort to persuade the
Gideons to join the Federation. Their council, however,
consistently refused the presence of a delegation from the
Federation on its soil, and or any surveillance by the ship's
sensors.  In 2268, the Gideons finally agreed to a delegation of
one, insisting upon it be the captain of the USS Enterprise.
Following the disappearance of James T. Kirk during beam-down,
the Gideons refused to allow any further attempts at transport
or searching for Captain Kirk. Spock
