Cultural Contact Office

The Cultural Contact Office was the agency responsible for the exchange of cultural knowledge between the United Federation of Planets and other galactic governments. Established before 2255, this office had its headquarters in the Sol Sector. A provision in the Treaty of Armens required the presence of one representative of this office aboard a Galaxy-class starship vessel at all times, except during legal holidays.
