Starfleet’s first known exploration of this uncharted expanse dates back to the mid 22nd century, when the SS Enterprise NX-01 under the command of Captain Johnathan Archer. During this period, the region was considered was lawless and there was a significant Orion Syndicate presence, mostly centred around Verex III. During this time, Klingon scouts were known to operate in the region, looking for new opportunities for imperial expansion. However this initiative by the High Council was suspended by the turn of the 2160s. It is believed that the Syndicate withdrew from Verex III (and by extension, The Borderlands) at the turn of the 23rd century in favour of an increased presence in the Rigel Sectors.

The brief but bloody Federation - Klingon War of 2257 also saw attempted expansion into the region by both powers, although as per the Armistice- both nations agreed to pull out the region. As a result, much of The Borderlands formed part of the Klingon Neutral Zone until its dissolution following the signing of the First Khitomer Accords in 2293. For much of the 24th century, neither power showed much interest in The Borderlands aside from several skirmishes during the Federation-Klingon Cold War of 2373. The Second Khitomer Accords ceded The Borderlands to the Federation, which went uncontested by other Alpha/Beta Quadrant powers.
