__NOEDITSECTION__{{Update CM}}[[Image:Map delta quadrant.jpg|thumb|right]] 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.
It was first visited by [[Human]]s on stardate 32629.4, when the USS ''Raven'' followed a [[Borg]] vessel into a transwarp conduit. The first [[Star Fleet]] mission into the Delta Quadrant occurred during an inspection of the Barzan wormhole in 2366.
Due to the immense distance between the Alpha and Delta Quadrants a starship would take 30 years to reach the edges of the quadrant at its maximum [[warp]] velocity, the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] knew very little about this region of space until 2371, when the starship USS ''Voyager'' was pulled into the quadrant by an alien force called the [[Caretaker]]. When contact was reestablished with the starship in 2374, hundreds of kiloquads of data on the region was received, increasing the Federation's knowledge of the quadrant immensely.

==History==
Millions of years before recorded Human history, it is speculated that the [[Voth]] may have left Earth and traveled to the Delta Quadrant where they established a powerful and reclusive civilization.
Around In [[2346]], the 3rd century, an epidemic known as [[PhageKazon]] spread throughout sects were united in order to overthrow their enslavers, the [[Vidiian|Vidiian SodalityTrabe]]. * Virtually all Trabe territory fell under control of the various sects, reducing a previously renowned culture to subsisting on organ piracy and slave laborwhich soon began fighting amongst each other.
In the 15th century, the [[Vaadwaur]] controlled many colonies and exerted influence across much of the Delta Quadrant, if not further, via a series of underspace corridors. In 1484 an alliance of species led by the [[Turei]] destroyed the Vaadwaur empire, forcing survivors to undergo [[cryostasis]] in the hopes of preserving their society.
Jal Sankur united the Prior to [[Kazon2371]] sects in 2346 to overthrow their enslavers, an entity known as the [[TrabeCaretaker]], while not claiming any specific territory, was a major factor in the socio-political climate near the outer rim of the Delta Quadrant, in the midst of Kazon space. Virtually all Trabe territory fell under control of * This being in particular took special interest in the various sects[[Ocampa]], a species in which soon began fighting amongst each otherit had inadvertently harmed.
Prior to 2371, an entity known as the Caretaker, while not claiming any specific territory ''per se'', was a major factor in the socio-political climate near the outer rim of the Delta Quadrant, in the midst of Kazon space.
