Delta Quadrant

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

The Delta Quadrant is one of the four quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy, and is home to many alien races and cultures, most notably the Borg Collective.

The first Humans to explore the Delta Quadrant were the Hansen family in 2354, when they followed a Borg cube through a transwarp conduit. Unfortunately, Magnus and Erin Hansen could not bring back any data on the unexplored region, as they were assimilated in 2356.

An expedition to explore the far side of the Barzan wormhole led a shuttlecraft commanded by Lieutenant Commanders Data and Geordi LaForge led them to the Delta Quadrant. However, the wormhole was expected to lead to the Gamma Quadrant and was found to be unstable. The two officers managed to return safely.

In 2371, the Federation starship USS Voyager was catapulted to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a representative of the Nacene. After becoming stranded, Voyager spent seven years travelling through the Delta Quadrant, before returning to the Alpha Quadrant in 2377.

Due to limited expeditions into the distant quadrant, the Federation knew very little about it until 2374, when the Voyager made contact with Starfleet. Since Voyager's return in 2378, the Federation's knowledge of the Delta Quadrant has increased considerably.

[edit] History

In the late 26th century, when Prefect Tamar of the Kelvan Armada arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy to check on Rojan's advanced team, he expected them to have seized control of the most of the galaxy, and be advancing into the Delta Quadrant after 300 years. (TOS short story: "Gone Native").
