The Borderlands: Difference between revisions

The Borderlands consists of many different areas distinct from each other as well as a number interstellar phenomenon not all of which have been experienced, mapped, or understood. Some such areas are known as the [[Briar Patch]], [[Celendi Nebula]], and [[Azure Nebula]]. There is only one recognized Trade route through the region that runs through the edge of the [[Celendi Nebula]] and is utilized by merchants and freighters to and from the [[Klingon Empire]] and Federation space. This has been dubbed the Celendi Trade Lane. Two main species other than the Klingons and [[Da'al]] exist in the area seeking out whatever homes they can find, the [[Son'a]] and exiled [[Suliban]]. The Federation region known as the Borderlands is home to [[Deep Space 224]], a Star Fleet run space station used to maintain presence in the region and host a contingent of the [[Vulcan Science Academy]].

Officially starting at edge of Federation space and known as wa'neS(Wayfarers Passage) on the Klingon side of the border, and at Starbase 118 on the Federation side, the Celendi Trade Lane represents the only fully charted passage through the Borderlands sector allowing trade to and through the area. Merchants and traders on the lane deal in a variety of goods but traders coming from the wa'neS tend to specialize in wares found over the border in the Klingon region and vise versa with vessels traveling from Federation sectors. Few venture out from the safely marked trade lanes but those who do are often victims of the many undocumented and unknown phenomenon in the area, or are up to nefarious dealings as unconfirmed rumors circulate of possible black market dealings away from prying eyes. During the Dominion war the Klingon navy ran military supply convoys along the trade route in cooperation with Star Fleet.
