The Ithassa Region is a vast expanse of space, covering a volume of 15000000 ly³. This region is dictated by boundaries marking out a cuboid in space of 500x1000x30 light years. At Warp 9, the region takes approximately 1000 days to cross, encompassing a region between the borders of the Federation, Gorn Confederacy, Tzenkethi Hegemony and near the tip of Tholian space within the Alpha Quadrant, largely still unknown despite the advances of what was originally the T-DI (Taskforce Discovery) Fleet of Starbase 118. It also hosts both the Klingons as well as the Romulans in various capacities.

It’s called the Chavesss Sector by the Gorn, but the discovery is attributed to astrophysicist Sjori Ithassa. Officially, the first exploration vehicle by Starfleet has little by way of chain of events as to assignments, with the notable exception of the starbase Deep Space 17, which was commissioned in 2312 (and decommissioned in 2339).

The Tomed Incident with the Romulans resulted in the redeployment of Starfleet resources, which is believed to have attributed to the abandonment of the region until much later, toward the end of 2379 and beginning of 2380, when the Discovery Taskforce Fleet launched.

With the advance of the original ships assigned to the region under Rear Admiral Hollis Calley, the region is one of the most politically active and sometimes controversial areas where a growing number of Starfleet and Federation facilities and ships are located. Pioneers of the Fleet include the decommissioned USS Kodiak, the recently destroyed USS Independence (*see Battle for DS17), the USS Hammond, the USS Triumphant, and later the USS Wallace along with USS Darwin.

The current Fleet encompasses the USS Ursa Major, the recommissioned USS Ronin, and the USS Independence-A, along with the Deep Space 17 (DS17) starbase orbiting within the Eratis System.

NPC ships in the area include the cruiser USS Wellington and the frigate USS Callahan.

Ga'ter system

This is the home system for the Ga'teran people. The homeworld for this reptilian race is Ga'ter the 2nd planet in the system. This system is located in the Cait Sector (coordinates A-0003-1306), just one sector away from the Tholian Assembly to the west and one sector south of the edge of the Federation. It is 3 sectors away from the Alpha, Beta border.
