===Genura===
The Genura system was once a trinary system, with three class J gas giants, 1 proto-planet and one M-class inhabited planet, Genura III, but is now the site of a massive singularity. Before the collapse of Genura C, a neutron star, the system was home to a non-Federation colony population numbering over 8,000 sentient beings not under subject to the [[Prime Directive]].


During it's state as a trinary star system, the colony was subject to temporal engineering, allowing Genura III to develop into a M-Class planet in comparatively recent cosmological time. Genura III's elliptical orbit subjected it to massive gravitational stresses when it passed between its parent stars, however, it was discovered this orbit too was engineered by Genuran temporal scientists whose work was co-opted by a religious minority.
After the Gurab Crisis in 2389, Starfleet withdrew the last of its resources from the region and the border was redrawn to make [[Ba'ku]], a Federation world, inside a Federation controlled sector. The DS285 station became a backwater assignment, no longer the seat of a Sector Command or a branch of the admiralty. No Starfleet ship was assigned to the region until late 2391, when the {{USS|Constitution|B}} returned to the region. The assignment of a Galaxy-Class starship is perhaps a sign of Starfleet's renewed commitment to the region as a new frontier to be explored, or perhaps, something else entirely.

Starfleet Intelligence speculated the Genuran homeworld colony is deep in Avalon sector. Disregarding this possibility, it was unclear until recently how or why Genura III's colonists so quickly evolved interstellar warp-flight and subspace communications, within such dangerous gravitational wells.


On stardate 238508.03, Starfleet Command received a distress call from within the system and sent [[USS Constitution]], under command of Captain [[Waltas, Tyr|Tyr Waltas]] and crew of the USS Discovery to Genura III. Upon arrival in Genuran space, the Discovery crew, 3/4 of the Genuran population were seeking asylum with the exception of a religious minority. However, temporal engineering reversed the figures even before Discovery could established orbit.


Upon arrival to the surface, the Discovery away teams encountered two groups, one of which was a politico-religious majority calling itself the Genuran Traditional Order led by a charismatic but insane leader calling himself Zeun. A secular separatist group, known as the Free People of Genura, led by Zeun's former minister of knowledge, assembled indisputable data proving the imminent nova of the Genura C neutron star and sent the distress call under great risk. Discovery crew brought this information into public.
The engineering of singularity riddled Genura's solar system nearly impenetrable with dangerous gravitational anomalies and also accelerated time, allowing the religious minority to achieve power in the relative time between the reception of a distress message and the arrival of USS Constitution.  Although the Zeun was found responsible for attempting temporal engineering, endangering a solar system by altering the state of the neutron star and attempted genocide, he escaped arrest by either the Discovery or the flagship of the Genuran New Order, the Vetica.
The USS Constitution, whose crew exposed the scientific proof of Genura's doom, escaped from the system with over 8,000 Genuran refugees, many of them separatists and traditionalists.

Vast and untamed, the Avalon Sector has been frontier territory of the three major powers since the 22nd century. Dominated by the better part of the Briar Patch and historically regarded as insignificant, Starfleet only took notice of the Avalon Sector when the planet Ba'ku was discovered in 2375. After the incident with the Son'a, Starfleet made some headway into the region over the next 10 years, eventually assigning a lone vessel, the USS Discovery, to the region. In 2384, Deep Space 285 was constructed after the discovery of the Saurian Empire and in response to Romulan interests in the region. After the destruction of Genura in 2385, the Federation began to devote more diplomatic and scientific resources to the region. They were nearly all recalled after the destruction of Romulus and Remus in 2387, and what little was left was further reduced after other interstellar crises like the Vaadwaur Invasion of 2387 and the Klingon Invasion of 2389

After the Gurab Crisis in 2389, Starfleet withdrew the last of its resources from the region and the border was redrawn to make Ba'ku, a Federation world, inside a Federation controlled sector. The DS285 station became a backwater assignment, no longer the seat of a Sector Command or a branch of the admiralty. No Starfleet ship was assigned to the region until late 2391, when the USS Constitution-B returned to the region. The assignment of a Galaxy-Class starship is perhaps a sign of Starfleet's renewed commitment to the region as a new frontier to be explored, or perhaps, something else entirely. In early 2392, the USS Constitution-B was reassigned to the Talos Sector, with the USS Doyle-A, a newer Luna class ship, being assigned to explore the sector.

In late 2392, the Avalon Sector was given more attention within Starfleet Command. It was again the seat of a Sector Command, and a bit of the sector redesign in 2390 was undone. Again, the Ba'ku homeworld was part of the sector, although the majority of the Briar Patch was now located in the Borderlands. With a return to the altered sector, with the withdrawal of the Romulan Star Empire after the Hobus Supernova, with what little Romulan holdings remaining in the splinter faction of the Romulan Republic
