The Mutara sector was a region of space under Federation control. The Genesis sector, an area of space within this sector, consisted of the planet Genesis that was created when the Genesis Device exploded inside the Mutara Nebula.
In 2285, Khan Noonien Singh, aboard the hijacked USS Reliant detonated the Genesis Device within the Mutara Nebula, creating the Genesis planet. As a result of the incident, travel in and out of the sector was restricted by Starfleet. Additional permits were required, making commercial and non-military travel more difficult and more expensive. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the SS Botany Bay was either discovered by the USS Enterprise at a position near this sector (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 98) or in this sector (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 60).
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 128; 4th ed., vol. 2, p. 60) located Ceti Alpha V in this sector.
In the episode "Twilight", it was stated that Rigelian flamegems were illegal in a region. This region was identified as this sector by the Encyclopedia. (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 60)
