Vast and untamed, the Avalon Sector has been frontier territory since the 22nd century.

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 Romulus and Remus in 2387, and what little was left was further reduced after other interstellar crises like the Vaadwuar Invasion and the Klingon Invasion. 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. | ||

: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.

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 Empire is founded upon a religious hierarchy that dominates all parts of Saurian civilization. A related species, the Genurans (their evolutionary relationship with the Saurians is unclear) make up 2% of the population but contributed immeasurably to Saurian scientific advancement. While proficient in battle, the Saurians might have highly advanced technology since the Genurans were capable of stellar engineering on a massive scale. it is unknown, however, if these advances were shared with the Saurians, or somehow kept secret. The Empire is controlled by an Emperor and has recently undergone a shift in political power, with many fleeting democratic reforms being revoked. | ||

:Abandoned in 2385, Aurix base was destroyed by the machinations of the Q Continuum. Set up as a forward base for Starfleet interests in the region, Aurix was located on a dessert world and home to 30 Starfleet personnel. Established in the ruins of an ancient civilization, Aurix was both a valuable waypoint for Starfleet and a promising archaeological site. It is unknown what has become of the base and the ruins that housed it in the 7 years since it was abandoned. | |||

:The sanctuary of a group of Genurans, fleeing persecution in the Saurian Empire, the entire Genura system was destroyed when one of the stars was intentionally collapsed. A vast an incredibly advanced construct, the entire Genuran system was an astro-engineering project designed to keep the Genuran refugees safe. Due to the extreme gravimetric sheer when Genura III passed around the 3, highly volatile stars of Genura, the flow of gravity and later, the flow of time itself had to be altered as the planet made its flybys. This also unphased the planet from the normal flow of time and within the temporal bubble that encompassed Genura III, time passed more quickly. In 2385, a Saurian, known as Zeun, infiltrated the colony and came to command the Genuran religious order. He manipulated the gravimetric monitors to instead produce more gravimetric sheer to tear the unstable Genuran III star apart next time it passed it. He deceived the Genurans and established his own cult that made up 3/4 of the Genuran population. The leading Genuran scientist, known as Dorin, discovered what Zeun was planning and contacted the USS Discovery for assistance. With their help, Zeun's deception was revealed, though his sabotage could not be reversed. The Genurans were all safely evacuated before Genura C went nova and destroyed the system. The Genuran system is know the home of an extremely unusual singularity-like anomaly. | |||
