<!--Intro overview-->
The '''Ithassa Region''' (''Gorn: '''Chavesss Sector''', Constellationite: '''Ulsjifga''''') is a vast expanse covering 15,000,000 ly<sup>3</sup> of the Alpha Quadrant. The region includes various [[Ithassa Region Stellar Cartography|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]].
 
Despite the redeployment of resources, the region still held some interest from the Federation. Starfleet recommensed exploration of the region in the late 2360's, after ships had been freed up by the end of the [[ma:Federation-Cardassian War|Federation-Cardassian War]]. The fleet reclaimed Deep Space 17, which had been running on automation for the previous three decades; but withdrew once more in 2373 as resources were needed for the continuing [[ma:Second Federation-Klingon War|Second Federation-Klingon War]] and then for the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]].
 
<!--Taskforce Discovery-->
Starfleet turned its attention to the Ithassa Region for a third time in late 2379, four years after the end of the Dominion War. With Starfleet still rebuilding, a small [[Ithassa Region Starfleet Vessels|Taskforce]] headed by Rear Admiral [[Hollis Calley]] was sent to once more reclaim and explore the vast region. The initial taskforce comprised of the [[USS Kodiak-B]], [[USS Independence]], [[USS Hammond]] and [[USS Triumphant]], with the [[USS Wallace]] and [[USS Darwin]] following soon after.  The crew of USS Wallace assisted in the second reactivation of Deep Space 17. The USS Kodiak was decommissioned for technical reasons in early 2383, with the [[USS Ursa Major]] taking her place in the taskforce. The USS Ursa Major was herself replaced by the [[USS Tiger]] in 2385.
 
<!--Federation rivals in sector-->
The Federation are not the only major power in the region. At least three previously known major powers are present in the region, in the form of the [[ma:Gorn Hegemony|Gorn Hegemony]], [[Tzenkethi|Tzenkethi Coalition]] and the [[Tholian|Tholian Assembly]]. There have also been reports of the Breen, and the USS Ronin has encountered the Cardassian Empire. In addition to these major powers, there are several local powers as well. The Confederacy of Core Worlds, which include the [[Free Trade Union]], as well as the One Kingdom are examples of these. In all, the area is a politically active region, and occassionally quite a controversial one.
 
<!--Gorn Conflict 2383-->
The powers within the Region do not always see eye to eye, and this was shown quite dramatically in the [[Gorn Conflict of 2383]].
 
** Furies Furnace
** [[Battle of DS17]]
*** Loss of Indy, Tucson
** Ronin, Indy-A
 
 
----
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]].
 
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).
 
With the advance of the original ships assigned to the region under Rear Admiral Hollis Calley, the region has a growing number of [[Starfleet]] and Federation facilities and ships are located.
