Delta Quadrant

The Delta 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 90° perpendicular at the core. Its closest point to Earth is located approximately 30,000 light years away. The Crux Arm of the galaxy is located in the Delta Quadrant, as are the stars or star clusters M14 and M80.

It is home to thousands of species, including the Kazon, Talaxians, Ocampans, Borg, Vidiians, Hirogen, Krenim and many others.
In ST_Deep_Space_9, the Delta Quadrant is accessible from the Alpha thanks to a re-imagination of the ST book series Millennium: opening the temple (or wormhole) of the Pah-Wraiths known as the “red wormhole.” This wormhole is controlled by the Cardassians, stationing Empok Nor to regulate usage. The Federation and several other powers are allowed to use the wormhole for scientific research. Some made up species include the Xendrakes and the Jernaxians.
