Gamma Quadrant

The Gamma Quadrant is the common designation for one quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy. Its boundary is defined by a meridian passing through the galactic core and the Sol system, and a second meridian 90º perpendicular at the core. Its closest point to Earth is located approximately 30,000 light years away. However, the stable Bajoran wormhole links the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant with the Bajoran system in the Alpha Quadrant.

It is believed that the Hur'q originated from the quadrant.

The quadrant was first explored by the Federation's Quadros-1 probe in the 22nd Century.

A large portion of the Gamma Quadrant is under the control of the Dominion, but it is believed that some minor powers exist on the fringes of their space.
