GNN, Bolaris IX
Federation Security forces raided a Romulan tavern on Bolaris IX, seizing over 150 tons of Romulan Ale, and putting the shop owner out of business.

Bolaris IX, technically under Romulan jurisdiction, is bordered on all sides by Federation space. The Romulan government says that Romulan-Federation negotions are under way. Charging taxes against the Romulan shop keepers (and splitting it with the Federation) may be a method of reducing Federation raids. The shop keepers disagree, and say that taxing Romulan ale is just another way for the rich to take money from the working class.
