The first encounter with the waystations occurred in 2386 with the [[USS Independence-A]], accidental due to lack of knowledge about the system and the Way Corridor hidden within a subspace “briar patch” known inside [[Ithassa Region]] as [[Bull's Run]]. Later, the [[USS Columbia]] accidentally fell through an unstable corridor to a waystation in 2390. Both instances landed the ships at Odyssey Station. | |||

Where they were originally built, how many there are, where they are, has not been determined. At one point every Waystation had a '''Guardian''', who was a biological lifeform that oversaw the primary offense/defense systems and could act in areas that the biomatrix overseers, the [[Greeters]], couldn't. Death and the lack of applicants who possessed the qualifications and qualities to become Guardians makes them few and far between. | ||
