The Setting
At the border between the Federation and the Tholian Assembly lies an area known as the Shoals. Rich in dilithium, benamite, and other natural resources, the hazardous area itself cannot be traversed at high warp or by quantum slipstream due to the treacherous and shifting tetryon fields that are scattered throughout the region, a danger similar to that of the Hekaras sector.

Over five hundred ships have been lost in the region, earning it the nickname, "The Graveyard of the Federation." In the 23rd century, seven Federation colonies in the Shoals banded together to form the Colonial Coalition to have one voice when dealing with the Federation Council and other foreign powers.
