The ''[[USS Columbia]]'' is the first manned Federation vessel to explore this distant region following three separate incidents involving the USS ''Enterprise'' in the mid 23rd century. The Galactic Barrier’s ability to uplift individuals into omnipotence as well as the damaging effect that traversing the barrier has on starships caused Starfleet Command to ban all manned exploration of this distant corner of the galaxy. In late 2394 the Federation Quadros XII probe reported that energy readings and the mass of the barrier itself had shrank and analysts decided to begin an exploratory program. | The ''[[USS Columbia]]'' is the first manned Federation vessel to explore this distant region following three separate incidents involving the USS ''Enterprise'' in the mid 23rd century.

[[File:Galactic_barrier.jpg|thumb|left|The Galactic Barrier]]The ''[[USS Columbia|Columbia]]'' is not cleared to enter the galactic barrier regardless of the changes within the barrier and any scans must be conducted within a distance of 2 million kilometers. | [[File:Galactic_barrier.jpg|thumb|left|The Galactic Barrier]]The ''[[USS Columbia|Columbia]]'' is not cleared to enter the galactic barrier regardless of the changes within the barrier and any scans must be conducted within a distance of 2 million kilometers. Quadros XII also detected evidence of space faring civilisations within the area and part of the ''[[USS Columbia|Columbia's]]'' mission within this region is to make first contact where possible. | ||
At present the only charted world within the Reach is [[Delta Vega I]], the site of a long abandoned dilithium cracking station that ceased operations long before it was visited by the USS ''Enterprise''. This class-L world is now home to [[Dehner Base]] - a scientific research institute comprised of some of the keenest minds from across the Federation led by Professor Olivia Sellards. Construction of the base began in January 2395 and phase one of its construction was completed in September of that same year. | At present the only charted world within the Reach is [[Delta Vega I]], the site of a long abandoned dilithium cracking station that ceased operations long before it was visited by the USS ''Enterprise''.
