Typhon Expanse

The Typhon Expanse is a a highly dangerous area of space that provides a natural juncture between Romulan and Federation space. Known for its temporal disturbances it is an otherwise visually average collection of many star systems and other objects.

It had never before been charted or even explored until the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D entered it, circa stardate 45652. On this occasion the vessel was trapped in a time-loop vortex with the older USS Bozeman, which ended up being brought forward in time.

The Typhon Expanse's temporal features means it usually has to be circumnavigated by vessels wishing to reach space beyond (including the Duronis system) and as such acted as a natural border between the Federation and relatively vast amounts of uncharted space.
