Gamma Quadrant

From TFC Galactopedia

The Gamma 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 90º perpendicular at the core. Its closest point to Earth is located approximately 30,000 light-years away.

The quadrant was first explored by the Starfleet's Quadros 1 probe in the 22nd Century. A large portion of the Gamma Quadrant is under the control of the Dominion, but it is believed that some minor powers exist on the fringes of their space.
