The Tholian Assembly is the state of the non-humanoid Tholians which signed a nonaggression pact with the Dominion, but remained in a neutral position until the end of the war. Contact with the Tholians happens rarely.

Alpha Quadrant

The Alpha Quadrant was the common designation for one-quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy . It was adjacent to the Beta Quadrant and the Gamma Quadrant . One-quarter of the galactic core was located in this quadrant. ( Star Trek: Voyager , Season 7 production art ; [1] Star Trek Into Darkness display graphics)

In late 24th century interstellar politics and diplomacy, the four great powers in the Alpha Quadrant were the United Federation of Planets , the Cardassian Union , the Klingon Empire , and Romulan Star Empire , though majority of the territory held by the latter two was found in the Beta Quadrant. Other powers at the time were divided into two groups. The mercantile powers, like the Ferengi Alliance , traded with the great powers. The isolationist powers, like the Breen Confederacy and the Tholian Assembly , defended their territory aggressively and would, on occasion, battle with other powers. ( Star Trek: The Original Series ; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ; Star Trek Into Darkness display graphics) By the late 23rd century , the Alpha Quadrant still remained largely unexplored by the United Federation of Planets . ( VOY : " Flashback ")

" The Search, Part II " implied that there were at least thirteen alliances in the Alpha Quadrant.

The Bajoran wormhole connected the Bajoran sector in the Alpha Quadrant to a point near the Idran system on the far side of the Gamma Quadrant near Dominion space. The use of this wormhole for exploration and trade by parties from the Alpha Quadrant incited hostility from the Dominion, culminating in the Dominion War . ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine )

The Borg transwarp network

The Borg maintained at least one transwarp hub and thousands of exit apertures in the Alpha Quadrant until 2378 , when the entire transwarp network was destroyed by the USS Voyager . ( VOY : " Endgame ")

In the alternate 2259 , a section of this quadrant, from a galactic map, was in a collection of graphics and video media that were seen on a powerwall in the offices of Admirals Christopher Pike and Alexander Marcus at Starfleet Headquarters . The map was being used primarily for charting activity on the Neutral Zone , Sectors 45 to 89 . The three largest powers in this section – the Federation, the Klingon Empire, and the Orion Union – were labeled on this map. ( Star Trek Into Darkness )

The map can be seen in the video " Star Trek: Into Darkness - User Interface VFX" at vimeo.com. [2]

In the mirror universe 2370 , according to Julian Bashir , the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance controlled "the entire quadrant". ( DS9 : " Crossover ")

In 2401 , an unknown entity opened a transwarp conduit in the center of the quadrant, the creation of which threatened most of the sector it was in. A Borg faction led by Dr. Agnes Jurati -- who had merged with a Borg Queen from an alternate timeline in 2024 -- enlisted the Federation's help to protect the quadrant by combining the shields of a Starfleet armada led by the USS Stargazer with that of the Singularity to successfully block the energy wave that was released. However, even the Borg with their collective knowledge didn't know who opened it and were granted provisional membership in the Federation to guard the conduit against whatever threat might come through.

Background information [ ]

Alpha/beta quadrant border [ ].

The Star Trek Encyclopedia , 2nd ed., p. 393 states that the Federation was spread across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants , with Earth as the border between, in order to explain why the USS Enterprise was often the "only ship in the quadrant", though the term quadrant has been often used to refer to smaller segments of the galaxy as well. The maps in the Star Trek: Star Charts also use Earth as the border between the Alpha and Beta quadrants.

Graphics used in astrometrics for Star Trek: Voyager , starting with the episode " Year of Hell ", and on a PADD on Picard's ready room desk in Star Trek: Insurrection , also have Earth and the Federation straddling the border between the two quadrants. [3]

"Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview" map seen in the background of "Context Is for Kings", et al.

Dialogue in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager , however, firmly establish that Earth is located on the Alpha Quadrant side of the border. Graphics used in Star Trek: Discovery and the alternate reality films support this, where the Alpha/Beta Quadrant border is moved one sector "west" and a star chart graphic used in Star Trek Into Darkness had the label "Alpha Quadrant" near Sector 01 (Level 3-B) , which contains Earth. [4]

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia , 2nd ed., p. 393, Federation, Klingon, and Romulan territories are situated in both the Alpha and Beta quadrants. Dialogue from Deep Space Nine and Voyager exclusively referred to all three powers and governments in their vicinity as Alpha Quadrant powers.

The in-game map of the apocryphal Star Trek Online video game, depicting Klingon and Romulan space in the Beta Quadrant

In most reference works , novels , and games , Klingon and Romulan space are usually depicted or stated to be located solely in the Beta Quadrant. This would make the Federation the only government spanning both quadrants.

The video game Star Trek Online is largely faithful to the Star Charts representation of the galaxy, with a few systems moved for gameplay considerations.

According to the Star Charts , most of the early voyages of Enterprise NX-01 took place in the Beta Quadrant with only a few excursions in the Alpha Quadrant.

In the script for " Playing God ", the Cardassian vole was described as being "the Alpha Quadrant's nominee for ugliest creature in the galaxy".
