Hi Ensign Q,
it looks like the card you are asking about is
Treaty: Alpha Quadrant Alliance, which has "Treaty:" in the title making it a Treaty card. Following the ":" rule this card is "Treaty" and can be referenced by "Treaty" alone.

and bajoran isnt even in the lore.

If I had to guess, it's the inclusion of
in the game text as an affiliation that is allowed to work with other affiliations, but off the top of my head I can't cite a specific rule that would grant it that characteristic on that basis.

Ah, I missed that part. I would say that it references Bajoran in the game text, though I haven't checked any of the rules documents fro confirmation.

Its a Bajoran Treaty because its a treaty that allows
to be compatible with some other affiliation. It is also simultaneously a Federation Treaty, a Klingon Treaty, and a Romulan Treaty as well and for the same reason.
Unlike most treaties that apply to the entire affiliation,
Treaty: Alpha Quadrant Alliance only applies to
segments of each affiliation.

Yes, in Premier the verbiage was:
Plays on table. Your Federation and Klingon affiliations recognize this treaty. They can now mix and cooperate. as seen on
Treaty: Federation/Klingon.
A modern version of the same card would use
and
instead of spelling it out. Again though, the card in question only pertains to
sections of the 4 affiliations and not the entire affiliations.

A "Federation treaty" is any treaty which includes the Federation (or ) as one of the parties. For example, Treaty: Federation/Klingon, Treaty: Alpha Quadrant Alliance, and Organian Peace Treaty are all Federation treaties as well as Klingon treaties.
