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.
The Federation council feels now is the time to return to a robust exploration of this area. It is vast, at warp 9 it would take 1000 days to cross. A new task force () has been assigned to region.
