{{Ithassa Region}}
In 2382, six ships from the [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]] fleet set off on a brave new journey to explore strange new worlds, to seek new life and new civilizations; to go boldly where (almost) no-one had gone before.
A great expanse encompassing a region between the borders of the Federation, [[Gorn]] Confederacy, [[Tzenkethi]] Hegmony and near the tip of [[Tholian]] space, largely still unknown despite the advances of what was originally the T-DI (Taskforce Discovery) Fleet of [[StarBase 118 Ops | Starbase 118]]. It also hosts both the [[Klingons]] as well as the [[Romulans]] in various capacities.


Nestled in between the Federation, [[ma:Gorn|Gorn]] Confederacy and [[Tzenkethi]] Hegemony, the Ithassa Region has relatively few worlds and resources, and so has been largely ignored by these powers. However, with the recent reactivation of [[Deep Space 17]] under Captain [[Kare'en m'Hapron m'Adrina|Kare'en m'Hapron]], the strategic value of this region of space has increased. [[ma:Starfleet Command|Starfleet Command]], acting under the direction of its new militant commanders, assigned out-of-favour peacemaker then Rear Admiral Hollis Calley to head up a taskforce to explore this region and spread Federation influence where possible. To this end, the [[USS Kodiak|Kodiak]] and [[USS Independence|Independence]] rapidly followed by the [[USS Wallace|Wallace]], [[USS Hammond|Hammond]], [[USS Triumphant|Triumphant]] and [[USS Darwin|Darwin]] set off to explore the little-known '''Ithassa Region''' of space. They are designated T-DI (Taskforce Discovery)
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 Kodiac]], 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 [[USS Triumphant]], the recommissioned [[USS Ronin]], and soon to be another ship (due to the loss of the [[USS Independence]]), along with the [[Deep Space 17]] (DS17) starbase orbiting within the Eratis System.
 
 
==Astrometry==
The Ithassa Region is a vast expanse of space, covering a volume of 15000000^3 light years. 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.


With recent changes in command, the fleet now consists of the [[USS Ursa Major]], [[USS Independence]], [[USS Ronin]], [[USS Triumphant]], and formerly the [[USS Hammond]] (NPC), [[USS Tucson]] (NPC) and the [[USS Wallace]]


==History==
==History==
Known by the Gorn Confederacy as the [[Chavesss Sector]], it was discovered by the astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]], the region was a relative enigma to the Federation until recent years. The area was due to be explored in 2311 but the [[ma:Tomed Incident|Tomed Incident]] with the [[ma:Romulan|Romulans]] resulted in resources which were due for the '''Ithassa Region''' to be redeployed to the [[ma:Romulan Neutral Zone|Neutral Zone]].  
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).


This redeployment left Starfleet's presence in the region very bare, totalling only a single Deep Space station. [[Deep Space 17]] slowly but successfully gathered information on the region. However, during the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]], resources were again pulled from this region of space leaving [[Deep Space 17]] little more than an automated outpost.
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.

===[[3A9]]===
A planet originally home to a [[Tzenkethi]] research station facility which was destroyed.
 
===[[Aronis Sector]]===
A sector of magnetic shoals and high radiation, mapped by the [[USS Kodiac]].
 
===[[Eratis System]]===
Encompassing a vast asteroid environment and assorted gases orbiting around a neutron star. It is also the home of [[Deep Space 17]].
 
===[[Igloo Cluster (IC-93)]]===
A region that’s home to ninty-three (93) compact systems and a central area / home to many of the [[Grendellai]] (see [[The One Kingdom]].
 
===[[Furies Furnace]]===
A section of space which is highly volatile, carrying a substance through a major expanse of asteroid bodies which is corrosive to metal, and renders starship sensors useless. Known as a popular trade route for member races of the [[Free Trade Union]].
 
===[[T8A]]===
Not much is known, but it’s reputated to be a pleasure planet of sorts.

The other great power in Ithassa, the reptilian [[Gorn]] have been known to the Federation for 87 years. They have apparently been known in Ithassa for considerably longer.

Significant antipathy exists between the One Kingdom and the Gorn Confederacy. The Gorn have been known to supply weapons and supplies to resistance cells of Grendellai within the One Kingdom. The Gorn deliberately sabotaged recent peace talks hosted by then Rear Admiral Hollis, and later would send an invasion force into the Ithassa in an attempt to reclaim what was perceived as reclaiming a part of space belonging to the Confederacy which cultimated in the Battle for DS17 in the summer of 2383.

Toward the outer rim of the Ithassa Region, the [[Tholian | Tholians]] do venture into the region, for purposes not yet known. Although in 238312.08, six angular vessels were reported entering into the region bound for DS17.
