Sector traversed by Enterprise
In 2365, the USS Enterprise-D was traversing through this sector when the Ansel Adams was reported as missing from Shuttlebay 2. In its search for the missing shuttlecraft, the Enterprise-D did a sensor search of the sector, revealing no other shuttles or ships in the region. (TNG: "Q Who")
Sector containing J-25 system
This sector, containing the J-25 system, was, by 2365, unexplored by the Federation. It had been visited in the past by the El-Aurians and by the Borg, who had assimilated the civilization on the sixth planet of J-25. In that year, the USS Enterprise battled a Borg cube in this region. The nearest starbase to this sector was Starbase 185, which was at the maximum warp of the Enterprise-D two years, seven months, three days, eighteen hours away. (TNG: "Q Who")
Sector containing Boradis system
This sector, in Federation territory in the mid-24th century, contained the Boradis system as well as several Federation colonies. The first colony, an outpost, was established on Boradis III in 2331. As of 2365, there were four colonies in the Boradis system and nine outposts in other systems in the sector. (TNG: "Emissary")

Sectors neighboring the Acamar system sector
These Beta Quadrant sectors, neighboring the Acamar system sector, were invaded by the Gatherers in the mid-24th century, who attacked Federation outposts located there. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")
Federation sectors threatened by Nelvana III base
In 2366, these sectors, numbering 15 in total, would be, according to Romulan logistics officer Setal, threatened by a base on Nelvana III. These sectors would be in "striking distance" of Romulan warbirds sent from this planet. During the incident at Nelvana III, in these sectors, outposts along the border of the Neutral Zone received warnings from Starfleet Command. (TNG: "The Defector")
Romulan sector
This distant sector in Romulan territory was the assignment for the logistics officer Sublieutenant Setal, who worked under Alidar Jarok. The region was mentioned in an interrogation led by William Riker of Setal in 2366. After Setal was revealed to be the admiral, Jarok stated that he was assigned, as its command officer, to this sector after being censured for his outspokenness against the militant policies of the Romulan High Command. (TNG: "The Defector")
Sector containing Bre'el IV
In 2366, the Enterprise-D contacted all ships in this sector, requesting that they rendezvous with the Federation starship and join them in relief efforts, as the planet Bre'el IV was threatened with its asteroidal moon impacting the larger body. (TNG: "Deja Q")
Sector containing Tanuga system
In 2366, the Enterprise-D was assigned to a mission in this sector. As the Tanuga system was located in this sector, the Federation starship paused its mission, dropping off William Riker and Geordi La Forge at the Tanuga IV research station so they could check on the progress of Dr. Nel Apgar's work on a Krieger wave converter. Before getting its officers back, the Enterprise-D concluded its study of a protostar cloud. (TNG: "A Matter of Perspective")
Sector containing Narendra III
This sector, in the Beta Quadrant, contained the Narendra system.
In 2346, the USS Enterprise-C received a distress call from the Klingon outpost on Narendra III. After scanning the sector for other Federation ships, with negative results, the Enterprise-C responded to the call. It entered into battle with Romulan warbirds, eventually being destroyed. Its sacrifice impressed the Klingons, who entered into a peaceful relationship with the Federation.
In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D was on a mission in this sector when a temporal rift, caused by the formation of a Kerr loop from superstring material, resulted in an alternate timeline in which the Federation was at war with the Klingon Empire.
In this new timeline, Starfleet monitor stations sent a message to the Enterprise-D informing the starship that Klingon battle cruisers were heading to this sector. The Federation starship protected its predecessor, the Enterprise-C, from the enemy vessels as the latter ship returned to the past, thereby restoring the timeline. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
Sector containing Khitomer system
This sector, in the Beta Quadrant, contained the Khitomer system.
In 2346, in the aftermath of the Khitomer Massacre, a sensor scan of the region by the USS Intrepid revealed that the attacking spacecraft, presumed to be Romulan warbirds, were no longer in the sector. (TNG: "Sins of the Father")
Sector containing Risa
This sector, in the Alpha Quadrant, contained the planet Risa. (TNG: "Captain's Holiday")
Sector containing Zeta Gelis star cluster
This sector was the location for the Zeta Gelis star cluster. It was located adjacent to Sector 9569. The Federation had incomplete information about this sector.
In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D was assigned a mission to this sector to chart the star cluster. (TNG: "Transfigurations")
Sector containing Starbase 133
This sector was the home for Starbase 133.

Sector containing Gamma Arigulon system
This sector was home for the Gamma Arigulon system.
In 2367, the starship LaSalle reported radiation anomalies from the Gamma Arigulon system. Later, as the USS Enterprise-D was investigating the system's star, the Federation starship was greeted by K'mpec's attack cruiser. This was a surprise as Starfleet had not mentioned the presence of Klingon vessels in the sector. (TNG: "Reunion")
Sector containing Gamelan system
This sector was the location for the Gamelan system.
In 2367, the USS Enterprise-D entered this sector to help Gamelan V with a waste ship which was threatening the planet with increased radiation levels. The Enterprise successfully destroyed the waste ship. When the Enterprise received the distress signal, there were no other ships in the sector. (TNG: "Final Mission")
Sector where Enterprise-D rendezvous with the Devoras
This sector was the location for a section of the Romulan Neutral Zone.
In 2367, according to a tactical projection by Data of Romulan deployments in this sector, the Romulan Star Empire placed their ships along the border with the idea that they were there to support a "policy of confrontation designed to test Federation defenses." There was a 90 percent probability that the empire would continue the policy into the near future.
The USS Enterprise-D rendezvous with the Devoras in this sector. (TNG: "Data's Day")
Federation sectors threatened by Cuellar system science station
These three sectors in the Alpha Quadrant were near to the Federation-Cardassian border.
In 2367, these sectors would be, according to Captain Benjamin Maxwell, threatened by the Cardassian science station, if it was a military transport station, in the Cuellar system. The Cardassisn could use the system as a jumping-off point into these sectors. (TNG: "The Wounded")
Sector containing Ventax II
This sector was home to the planet Ventax II.
Until her arrest by the Ventaxians in 2367, the con artist known as Ardra had been "deceiving innocent people with her petty schemes" in this sector for many years. (TNG: "Devil's Due")

In 2367, while in a romantic relationship with Jenna D'Sora, Data said that he was the "most fortunate sentient in the sector" because he was with her. (TNG: "In Theory")
Klingon sectors
These sectors were located in Klingon space.
In 2367, seven of these sectors were considered "key strategic sectors" by Captain Kurn in 2367.
In that year, prior to the Klingon Civil War, four squadron commanders assigned to these sectors were supportive of Kurn. After speaking with Kurn, three of the four squadron commanders agreed to back Gowron in the upcoming civil war, giving Gowron the strength to control these sectors. (TNG: "Redemption")
Over three weeks later, Gowron's forces launched attacks against the House of Duras' forces in three sectors, forcing the Duras family to send an urgent message to the Romulans saying that they were near defeat. (TNG: "Redemption II")
Solarion system sector
This sector, in the Alpha Quadrant, contained the Solarion system. This system was along the Federation-Cardassian border.
In 2368, the colony on Solarion IV was destroyed by an unnamed vessel. An investigation later concluded the attack was staged by the Cardassians.
By 2368, the Federation had dozens of settlements in the sector. (TNG: "Ensign Ro")
Lefler's parents' sector
This sector was where Robin Lefler spent her childhood in the 24th century.
Lefler's parents were the only plasma specialists in the sector, meaning they traveled constantly, going from base to base. (TNG: "The Game")

This sector contained the inhabited planet Penthara IV.
Professor Berlinghoff Rasmussen said, in a conversation with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, that if he influenced events at Penthara IV, he might change the history of this sector. (TNG: "A Matter of Time")
Sector containing Bilana III
This sector contained the planet Bilana III.
In 2368, Helena Rozhenko and Alexander Rozhenko were in this sector. When Helena heard that the USS Enterprise-D was in the sector, she took the first transport which would get her to the Enterprise. (TNG: "New Ground")
Sector containing binary star system
This sector contained a binary star system.
In 2368, this sector was mapped by the USS Enterprise-D. Other than the unusual sighting of the binary star system, the mapping was routine. (TNG: "Violations")
Sector containing the Dyson sphere
This sector contained a Dyson sphere.
In 2294, the USS Jenolan crash landed onto this sphere. The Federation transport ship sent out a distress call, which was picked up by the USS Enterprise-D in 2369. (TNG: "Relics")
Triona system sector
This remote sector contained the Triona system. Its isolation led Beverly Crusher to speculate that Lieutenant Keith Rocha could have been absorbed by a coalescent organism while posted there. (TNG: "Aquiel")
Sector containing Arkaria
The sector containing Arkaria was notable for having several cultures with extremely similar etymological histories. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
Sector containing the Loren system
This sector contained the Loren system. Cardassia had no claims on this sector.
In 2369, the Loren sysem was visited by starships from the Cardassian Union, the Klingon Empire, and the United Federation of Planets in their search for clues to a 4.5 billion years old genetic code left behind by the ancient humanoids. (TNG: "The Chase")
Sector containing Ohniaka III
This sector was located in Federation space. Within this sector, there was the planet Ohniaka III, in the Ohniaka system, and the MS I colony, in the MS system, and the New Berlin Colony. There were additional colonies and outposts in this sector.
In late 2369, rogue Borg attacked the Ohniaka III Research Station, killing all the personnel at this station. In the aftermath of the attack, a fleet of 14 Federation starships was ordered to the sector by Starfleet Command. Along with the USS Enterprise-D, which had responded to the distress call from the research station, these ships patrolled the sector. (TNG: "Descent")
Sector containing Iyar
This sector contained Iyar, a planet known for its "spectacular crystal formations" that was the homeworld of the Iyaarans, and a Class M planet. (TNG: "Liaisons")
Quantum incursion sector
This sector was the location of a quantum fissure, which caused Worf to experience different quantum realities. This sector had at least one star system.
In one such reality, when a Bajoran Bajoran ship attacked the USS Enterprise-D, this event caused the quantum fissure to de-stablize, resulting in the barriers between quantum realities to break down. Hundreds of thousands of Enterprises began to appear, and, according to Data's calculations, the whole sector would be completely filled with Enterprises in three days.
Upon Worf successfully returning to his quantum reality in this sector, the quantum fissure closed up. (TNG: "Parallels")
Sector containing Boraal II
This sector was home to the formerly inhabited Boraal II, which was rendered lifeless by atmospheric dissipation in 2370.
That year, knowing that the USS Enterprise-D was in this sector, Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko sent a distress call from a cultural observation post on Boraal II, hoping that this starship would be the one to respond. The scientist had family, Worf, aboard the ship. (TNG: "Homeward")
Devron system sector
This sector, containing the Devron system, was located in the Beta Quadrant.
In an alternate timeline, in 2395, Admiral William Riker read a report on this sector by Starfleet Intelligence. The agency reported no unusual activity in the Devron system. Some time later, after the USS Pasteur had entered the sector, the Klingon Empire sent several warships into the sector to search for the vessel. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
Sector with increased Maquis activity
This sector, located inside the Alpha Quadrant, was where the level of Maquis activity had increased in 2371. In response, the Cardassian Central Command had dispatched Galor-class warships, including a ship commanded by Gul Benil, into this sector to stop and search all incoming ships. With the assistance of Garak, the USS Defiant was able to successfully travel through this sector on its way to Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "Second Skin")
Sector containing Omekla III
This sector, located inside Cardassian space in the Alpha Quadrant, contained the planet Omekla III. This planet was home to shipyards, which, for an attacker, were not the best choice as there were at least half a dozen better targets in this sector.
In 2371, in an effort to draw the Cardassian warships from Orias III's sector, the USS Defiant, under the command of Thomas Riker, attacked targets in this sector. Riker's group, the Maquis, believed there was an invasion fleet being built at Orias. (DS9: "Defiant")
Sector containing the Orias system
This sector, located inside Cardassian space in the Alpha Quadrant, contained the Orias system. This sector was under the control of the Obsidian Order.
According to Gul Dukat, there was nothing of value in this sector.
In 2371, the Maquis got their hands on an intelligence report which said that the Cardassians were building an invasion fleet at Orias III. To verify the report, the USS Defiant, under the command of Maquis operative Thomas Riker, launched an attack into Cardassian space. Needing to get close to the Orias system, the Defiant attacked targets in an adjacent sector, drawing Cardassian warships guarding this system into this region.
It was later proven that the Obsidian Order was building ships for a planned offensive against the Founders in the Gamma Quadrant at Orias III. (DS9: "Defiant", "Improbable Cause")
Sector containing Barisa Prime
This sector, located in the Alpha Quadrant, contained the planet Barisa Prime. This Federation colony was near the Federation-Tzenkethi border. A spatial landmark in this sector was the Helaspont Nebula.
In 2371, the USS Ulysses was studying protoplanetary masses in the Helaspont Nebula when the USS Defiant was on its way to the border through this sector. (DS9: "The Adversary")
Sector attacked by Klingon bird-of-prey
This sector, located in the Alpha Quadrant, was within Cardassian space. It contained the planet Rakal and the systems Amleth and Loval.
In 2372, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, commanded by K'Temang, invaded this sector during the Klingon-Cardassian War, targeting installations of high military value. (DS9: "Return to Grace")
Sector attacked by Nausicaans
In this sector, Earth Cargo Service freighters were frequently attacked, over a time period lasting years, by Nausicaan pirates. Travis Mayweather knew about the sector and the repeated attacks within it. One of the freighters which was assaulted in this area was the ECS Fortunate, which consequently sustained heavy damage, in 2151. When Enterprise NX-01 arrived to investigate the aftermath of the battle, the starship's crew found no other ships in the region. Despite subsequent onslaughts by the Nausicaans, Matthew Ryan, who was temporarily in command of the Fortunate, refused Enterprise's help, which his commanding officer, Captain Keene, reasoned was due to Ryan and others who had grown up on the freighter feeling that they had some special claim to ownership of this particular stretch of space and who typically became jumpy when they saw another ship within ten light years. After Keene resumed command of the Fortunate, Enterprise departed from the area. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
Sector on edge of Federation space
At the start of the Federation-Klingon War of 2256, part of this sector was at the edge of Federation space. It contained a binary system with an accretion disk. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello")
Uncharted Necro Cloud sector
The "escape pod" on which Kalara arrived at Starbase Yorktown in 2263 was tracked to coordinates 210 mark 14, in a sector of an uncharted nebula, the Necro Cloud. The area was uncharted due to the nebula being too dense. The USS Enterprise subsequently managed to penetrate the area, finding the planet Altamid. (Star Trek Beyond)
Sector containing Amargosa star
This sector , located in the Beta Quadrant, contained the star Amargosa.
In the late 24th century, the Federation research station Amargosa observatory observed the star from its location in the Amargosa system. In 2371, after receiving a distress call from the station, the USS Enterprise-D came to the rescue of the station's scientists. Upon discovering two dead Romulans, the starship sent a message to Starfleet Command about a possible Romulan threat to the sector. Soon afterwards, Amargosa was destroyed by Dr. Tolian Soran, resulting in major effects throughtout the sector. These included an increase in gamma emissions and changes in the gravitational forces, necessitating any starship traveling through the sector performing minor course corrections. As the Nexus entered the sector, these changes would alter its course towards the Veridian system. (Star Trek Generations)
Federation Headquarters sector
Federation Headquarters was located in this sector in 3189. (DIS: "Die Trying")
