Trinity Sector
The Trinity Sector (coordinates B25-0005-1300) is also sometimes called Sector 118. This region is of major strategic importance, and is shared between the three major powers of the Beta Quadrant. The sector name comes from the presence of these three major powers which are; the Federation, Romulan Star Empire and Klingon Empire. It is under the Serellan Sector and over the Jenatris Cloud Sector.

The Federation maintains an active starbase along with a small fleet in the region but the other two major powers also maintain a heavy presence in their part of this sector as well. The starbase is right on the border between the Trinity Sector and the Serellan sector.
One edge of the sector is dominated by the Azure Nebula, which extends into the Acamar Sector, Serellan Sector and the Binara Sector.
Federation landmarks
Starbase 118
This Federation starbase is a Trojan class II spacedock, and is home to a monitor fleet of vessels. It was built right on the border between both the Trinity Sector and the Serellan Sector at coordinates 00-08-10.
Epsilon Outpost # 11
Prior to the signing of the Khitomer Accords, this was a military outpost in charge of first-eye defense on the Klingon border. Now, it is used as a listening post. It was built right on the border between both the Trinity Sector and the Serellan Sector at coordinates 00-02-13.
Cart'hen System
This star system is located at coordinates 17-12-12.
It has 4 planets and an asteroid belt. Of those planets, only Cart'hen III appear to be occupied. It is a desert world with a pre-warp population of approximately 600,000. At one time it was a part of the Klingon Empire. It still has a minor Klingon presence and over 30 different races.
Gamma Taboa System
This star system is located at coordinates 09-07-11.
This system only has 1 barren planet but it also has 2 huge asteroid belts plus hundreds of thousands of outlaw asteroids that are orbiting outside of the asteroid belts.
New Scotland System
This star system is located at coordinates 03-04-12.
It has 4 planets and an asteroid belt. Of those planets, only New Scotland I appears to be occupied. It is a earth like world with a human colony from earth with a population of approximately 36,936,000. It is a member of the Federation.
Raskor System
This star system is located at coordinates 13-07-12.
It has 5 planets. Raskor I has a native population of 12 billion. This world is a member of the Federation.
Klingon landmarks
Biv'ok System
This star system is located at coordinates 11-17-14.
This system has 1 small gas giant, 3 rock ball like planets and one terresterial world with evidence of an extinct culture in the form of extensive stone construction.
H'Atoria System
This star system is located at coordinates 06-15-16.
This system has 2 asteroid belts, a rock ball planet, a medium gas giant and 1 class M planet which has a small Klingon colony of approximately 28 million. In orbit over the colony is a large military starbase and a orbiting repair facility.
Py'Lea System
This star system is located at coordinates 15-05-17.
This star system has 3 asteroid belts, 3 gas giants and 1 terrestrial planet as well as a unique comet that moves between this star system and the Tumar system.
Tumar System
This star system is located at coordinates 14-06-17.
This star system has 2 gas giants and 1 terrestrial planet as well as a unique comet that moves between this star system and the Py'Lea system.
Veqlargh Star Cluster
These star systems are part of a cluster of 6 star systems just north of H'Atoria.
The Veqlargh star cluster was home to the Ameone race. The Klingons waged an unsuccessful war against them over 400 years ago. During the war billions of space mines, asteroid weapons platforms and communications jambing devices were produced by the Ameone and scattered across the star cluster. For many years this made the system uninhabitable as the Klingons slowly cleaned it up. It is still dangerous but there are numerous colonies scattered throughout the various systems of the Veqlargh star cluster.
- Veqlargh Bal System
- Veqlargh Chu System
- Veqlargh Jad System
- Veqlargh Nej System
- Veqlargh Soj System
- Veqlargh Qul System
The Governor of these colonies is Governor Socklock. He is an old Klingon who is not a favourite of the Klingon high Council. Indeed, the Veqlargh systems are known as a backwater assignment in the Klingon Empire. Due to the space mines, asteroid weapons platforms and communications jambing devices it remains a dangerous place to live and, in many ways, the colonies there are similar to Siberria on 20th century Earth (i.e. where the High Council sends people and criminals to live in exile.) For this reason, the region is not held in high regard.
In late 2385 an epedemic virus spread through the various systems of the Veqlargh star cluster. The High Council refused to allow the United Federation of Planets to seek medical aid, however, Governor Socklock makes a trip to Starbase 118 to seek assistance under the pretence of attending the Klingon Imperial Opera's schedule performance on the Starbase. The crew of Starbase 118 believe the virus was released on purpose because although on the face of it the epidemic looked like typical viral spread, when followed far enough bach it is clear that there were five simultaneous Patient Zeroes, all in different locations. Each of the locations were strategically ideal for maximum spread -e.g. one of them worked at a transport hub. It is not impossible that this backwater region of space (with its colonists who are considered second class citizens in the Klingon Empire) was purposefully used as a test bed for a new bio-chemical weapon, however, more investigation is required.
Romulan landmarks
Levok Than System
This star system is located at coordinates 11-03-04.
This star system has 3 asteroid belts, a large gas giant, icey rock ball planet and a greenhouse planet with a primitive stoneage hymanoid race.
Nequencia System
This star system is located at coordinates 12-18-03.
Nequencia is both a large colony and a major military outpost. In fact it is the largest Romulan colony in this sector with 17 million people. The colony is completely self supporting and has a very well developed economic structure.
The planet has 4 orbiting stations. These are a manned weather and science station, a Tal Shiar observation station, a civilian commercial station and a large military starbase with 16 vessels assigned to it.
Valdis System
This star system is located at coordinates 03-01-02.
This system has a rock ball planet and a deserted terrestrial planet.
Zeta Pictoris System
This star system is located at coordinates 09-14-01.
Zeta Pictoris III is a Romulan penal colony. Planetary conditions are harsh and the struggle to survive takes up most of the political prisoners time. The colony is watched from orbit by a small Tal Shiar station which orbits the planet and has 2 small patrol craft and 6 shuttles assigned to it.
This system has a medium gas giant, a rock ball planet and a barely terrestrial planet with the penal colony.
Other landmarks
Lambda Hydrae System
This system is within the Romulan neutral zone at coordinates 07-11-07.
Azure Nebula
A quarter of this nebula is within the Trinity Sector (B02-0005-1300), Serellan Sector B01-0005-1300), Binara Sector (B01-0004-1300) and the Acamar sector (B02-0004-1300). See Federation records listed as Azure Nebula File.
