<!--Intro overview-->
The '''Ithassa Region''' (''Gorn: '''Chavesss Sector''''') is a vast expanse covering 15,000,000 ly<sup>3</sup> of the Alpha Quadrant. The region includes various stellar phenomenae, such as the [[Bull's Run]] and the nebulae of the Aurona Sector. The region is cuboid in shape, with edges of length 1000ly, 500ly and 30ly.
 
<!--History of exploration/discovery-->
The initial discovery of the region is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]], after whom the region is named in Federation records. Other local powers have differing names for the region, including the Gorn name "Chavesss Sector". Federation vessels did not begin exploration of the region until the turn of the 24th Century, with a handful of vessels being assigned before the Tomed Incident. During this first foray, the station [[Deep Space 17]] was constructed to observe the neutron star [[Eratis]].

is a vast expanse of space, covering a volume of 15,000,000 ly<sup>3</sup>. This region is dictated by boundaries marking out a cuboid in space of 500x1000x30 light years. At Warp 9, the region takes approximately 1000 days to cross, encompassing a region between the borders of the Federation, [[ma:Gorn | Gorn Confederacy]], [[Tzenkethi]] Hegemony and near the tip of [[Tholian]] space within the Alpha Quadrant, largely still unknown despite the advances of what was originally the T-DI (Taskforce Discovery) Fleet of [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]].
 
It’s called the Chavesss Sector by the [[ma:Gorn|Gorn]], but the discovery is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]]. Officially, the first exploration vehicle by Starfleet has little by way of chain of events as to assignments, with the notable exception of the starbase [[Deep Space 17]], which was commissioned in 2312 (and decommissioned in 2339).
 
The [[ma:Tomed Incident|Tomed Incident]] with the [[ma:Romulans|Romulans]] resulted in the redeployment of [[Starfleet]] resources, which is believed to have attributed to the abandonment of the region until much later, toward the end of 2379 and beginning of 2380, when the Discovery Taskforce Fleet launched.
 
With the advance of the original ships assigned to the region under Rear Admiral Hollis Calley, the region is one of the most politically active and sometimes controversial areas where a growing number of [[Starfleet]] and Federation facilities and ships are located. Pioneers of the Fleet include the decommissioned [[USS Kodiak]], the recently destroyed [[USS Independence]] (*see [[Battle for DS17]]), the [[USS Hammond]], the [[USS Triumphant]], and later the [[USS Wallace]] along with [[USS Darwin]].
 
The current Fleet encompasses the [[USS Ursa Major]], the recommissioned [[USS Ronin]], and the [[USS Independence-A]], along with the [[Deep Space 17]] (DS17) starbase orbiting within the Eratis System.
 
NPC ships in the area include the cruiser [[USS Wellington]] and the frigate [[USS Callahan]].
