Starbase 47

Starbase 47 (VAN #1)
Starbase 47 (VAN #1)

Watchtower class Federation starbase located inside the Taurus Reach. Starbase 47, aka Vanguard Station, served as the base of operations for Starfleet vessels in the sector and as an anchor for Federation research and colonization efforts on nearby worlds, including Ravanar IV and Kessik IV. In 2265, Starbase 47 was commanded by Commodore Diego Reyes. The station’s larger, classified mission was to spearhead an investigation of the Taurus Reach. As tension gripped the Federation’s political relations with the Klingon Empire and the Tholian Assembly, Starbase 47 stood poised, knowing it could have become a flashpoint in an interstellar conflict.[1]

Gamma Quadrant (STEncy)

One quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy appearing to be located between 9 and 12 o’clock if the great plane of the galaxy was viewed as a clockface and the 6 o’clock position bisected the Sol System. The Gamma Quadrant remained inaccessible and unexplored until the discovery of the Bajoran Wormhole opened a stable gateway for commerce and exploration, eventually leading to contact with the Dominion, and the Dominion War was fought from 2373-2375.[1]

One quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy appearing to be located between 12 and 3 o’clock if the great plane of the galaxy was viewed as a clockface and the 6 o’clock position bisected the Sol System. Although it was known to be home to the Borg, the Delta Quadrant had been wholly unexplored until word was received in 2374 from the lost U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656. Compressed messages from the ship, long presumed destroyed, detailed its accidental arrival there and travels homeward among cultures such as the Kazon sects, the Vidiians, Talaxians, Ocampans, the Hirogen, Species 8472—and, of course, the Borg.[1]
