Vast and untamed, the Avalon Sector has been frontier territory since the 22nd century. Dominated by the better part of the Briar Patch and historically regarded as insignificant, Starfleet only took notice of the Avalon Sector when the planet Ba'ku was discovered in 2375. After the incident with the Son'a, Starfleet made some headway into the region over the next 10 years, eventually assigning a lone vessel, the Discovery, to the region. In 2384, [[Deep Space 285]] was constructed after the discovery of the Saurian Empire and in response to Romulan interests in the region. After the destruction of Genura in 2385, the Federation began to devote more diplomatic and scientific resources to the region. They were nearly all recalled after the destruction of the Aurix base in 2386, and what little was left was further reduced after the Destruction of Romulus and Remus. After the Gurab Crisis in 2389, Starfleet withdrew the last of its resources from the region and the border was redrawn to make [[Ba'ku]], a Federation world, inside a Federation controlled sector. The DS285 station became a backwater assignment, no longer the seat of a Sector Command or a branch of the admiralty. No Starfleet ship was assigned to the region until late 2391, when the [[USS Constitution-B]] returned to the region. The assignment of a Galaxy-Class starship is perhaps a sign of Starfleet's renewed commitment to the region as a new frontier to be explored, or perhaps, something else entirely. | Vast and untamed, the Avalon Sector has been frontier territory since the 22nd century.

The only known major power in the region, the Saurian Empire is a militant, caste based society that effectively dominates the woefully uncharted 'eastern' side of the Avalon Sector. While diplomatic relations were established after the destruction of Genura in 2385, the Diplomatic Mission was closed by 2387. In the 5 years since, the Saurian Empire has annexed several parts of the Avalon Sector, increasing their territory by 1/3. The Decline of the Romulan Empire and the lack of Starfleet resources in the region were the impetus for this expansion. | The only known major power in the region, the Saurian Empire is a militant, caste based society that effectively dominates the woefully uncharted 'eastern' side of the Avalon Sector.
