The Ithassa region is named for its discover the infamous astrophysicist, Sjori Ithassa. It comprises an area of 500 light years by 1000 light by 30 light years. The nearest major powers are the Gorn and Tholian people. The Tzenkethi have also recently shown interest in this region.
Major exploration of the area was ready to begin in 2311 when the Tomed Incident occurred which left thousands of Federation citizens dead and resulted in the treaty of Algeron. At that point resources meant from the Itahassa region were redeployed to the triangle to reinforce the neutral zone.
This left only a DS station (DS17) in the area, which successfully if slowly gathered information on the region. During the Dominion war the station's resources were diverted for the war effort, and it became virtually an automated outpost.

History

Discovered by the astrophysicist Sjori Ithassa, the region was a relative enigma to the Federation until recent years. The area was due to be explored in 2311 but the Tomed Incident with the Romulans resulted in resources which were due for the Ithassa Region to be redeployed to the Neutral Zone.

This redeployment left Starfleet's presence in the region very bare, totalling only a single Deep Space station. Deep Space 17 slowly but successfully gathered information on the region. However, during the Dominion War, resources were again pulled from this region of space leaving Deep Space 17 little more than an automated outpost.
