The Borderlands: Difference between revisions

The Borderlands is a large swath of Federation space along the Klingon border. Only a limited amount of information is known, other than rumors of pirates and stellar phenomenon that have been said to wreak havoc on ships in the area. More than one ship has gone missing in the region and run ins along the furthest edges of the border with the neutral zone are not unheard of. Many merchants and travelers avoid the region if possible, because of established local legends of space faring monsters and unnatural phenomenon. It contains a variety of species ranging from pre-warp, early post warp, and comparable to Federation technology levels civilizations. In early 2391, Starfleet lost contact with the {{USS|Hermes}}, which was patrolling the area, and the {{USS|Gemini}} was dispatched to investigate. In 2397, Starfleet permanently assigned the science vessel {{USS| Resolution}} to the area for long-term study.
