==Introduction==


The Tempest Sector is a section of space located below the Tholian Assembly and for many years has never been explored by any sentient races. The span of void's oldest neighbors, the [[Tholian|Tholians]] have refused to enter because they feel it is taboo.
The '''Tempest Sector''' is a section of space located to the galactic south of the [[Tholian|Tholian Assembly]]. It is relatively unexplored as the Federation has yet to focus it's exploration efforts on it and the Tholians seem to avoid it for reasons unknown. Recently, exploration has shown that the sector used to be inhabited by an ancient race called the [[K'Thon]].


Filled with unexplored planets and ancient secrets, the USS Victory is the first starship to enter the Tempest on a mission to chase down an ancient threat that casting a shadow of the galaxy.  
As of 2391, the Starfleet has assigned the [[USS Victory]] to begin studying the uncharted territory.


== History of the Tempest Sector ==
== Notable Places==


Though information is still being collected, it has been discovered that an ancient race known as the K'Thon Empire used to control most of what is now known as the Tempest sector and though uplifted by an older race called the Yeltan, they became ruthless in their desire to conquer the known galaxy. Before the major powers of today's galaxy were even crawling on the shores of their homeworlds, the K'Thon had been busy destroying any race that refused to bow down to them as gods.  
The tempest sector is not an empty wasteland as once believed. Though many of the star systems are dead and dying, races do flourish on the few inhabitable worlds. Some of the most notable is the medium sized [[Ivuni|Ivuni Nation States]], the inter-galactic trading hub [[Trapper's Point]] and mysterious nebula [[Orthica's Bane]].


Over six thousand years, the K'Thon conquered and destroyed the known galaxy, but a great event, which presently is unknown, wiped them out and erased their existence from the map.  
One place that all species of the tempest sector avoid is an area near the far galactic west of the sector is the [[Tempest Phantom Realm|Phantom Realm]]. Every species with warp capability have horror stories about that sector and refuse to enter it no matter what the cost.


== Federation Presence ==


The Federation presence in this sector is minimal with only the USS Victory presently in the sector. Starfleet Command has expressed interest in a more thorough study of the sector, but has met resistance from the Tholians. For now, the intrepid class starship would be the only one in there.
