While there are no official stellar boundaries, it is commonly accepted that the Paulson Nebula marks one, with the Celendi Nebula marking another. The oft-disputed Archanis Sector is not considered part of The Borderlands, but is considered adjacent- as is the Mempa Sector. Some parts of the infamous Briar Patch fall within the Borderlands, as does the Azure Nebula- the site of a confrontation between the Starship Excelsior and a Klingon battlecruiser in late 2293. | While there are no official stellar boundaries, it is commonly accepted that the Paulson Nebula marks one, with the Celendi Nebula marking another.

In recent months, Starfleet Strategic Operations have been deploying resources to combat a rising number of pirate attacks and concerns of weapons smuggling out of the ‘failed’ Earth colony Turkana IV, although political commentators have expressed doubt that these efforts will meet with much success. | In recent months, Starfleet Strategic Operations have been deploying resources to combat a rising number of pirate attacks and concerns of weapons smuggling out of the ‘failed’ Earth colony Turkana IV, although political commentators have expressed doubt that these efforts will meet with much success. | ||

Several minor powers call The Borderlands home, most notably the R’ongovian Protectorate which have a number of small colonies and outposts near the Paulson Nebula. In addition, the Nascaik Defence Coalition and the Thama Scientific Sovereignty have territory that falls within the commonly accepted boundaries of The Borderlands. Disputes between the two powers, who are historically arch-rivals, periodically flare up, most recently in 2398 thanks to a dispute over the rights to the planet Vionius IV. The Da’al also have several colonies scattered through the mid-section of The Borderlands. | Several minor powers call The Borderlands home, most notably the R’ongovian Protectorate which have a number of small colonies and outposts near the Paulson Nebula.

The "failed" Earth colony of Turkana IV is located on the outer edges of the Borderlands. As of 2399, it was believed to be a hub of bioweapon smuggling and a port of call for slavers. | |||
Unaffiliated stations also exist throughout the region. Rinascita Station was, until 2398, ostensibly a civilian water reclamation station until it was decommissioned following the discovery of illegal Genesis technology experiments. | Unaffiliated stations also exist throughout the region.

Aside from the aforementioned Paulson Nebula, the region also includes portions of the Azure Nebula, the uncharted and volatile Celendi Nebula which has been responsible for the destruction and disappearance of numerous ships as well as some of the outer boundaries of the stellar remnant known alternately as the ‘Briar Patch’ and ‘Klach D’kel Brakt’ by the Federation and the Klingon Empire, respectively. | Aside from the aforementioned Paulson Nebula, the region also includes portions of the Azure Nebula, the uncharted and volatile Celendi Nebula which has been responsible for the destruction and disappearance of numerous ships as well as some of the outer boundaries of the stellar remnant known alternately as the ‘Briar Patch’ and ‘Klach D’kel Brakt’ by the Federation and the Klingon Empire, respectively. | ||
