The Ithassa Region is a vast expanse of space, covering a volume of 15000000 ly<sup>3</sup>. 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, encompassing a region between the borders of the Federation, [[ma:Gorn | Gorn Confederacy]], [[Tzenkethi]] Hegmony and near the tip of [[Tholian]] space within the Alpha Quadrant, 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 [[ma:Klingon Empire | Klingons]] as well as the [[ma:Romulans | Romulans]] in various capacities. | |||
It’s called the Chavesss Sector by the [[ma:Gorn|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). | |||
The [[ma:Tomed Incident|Tomed Incident]] with the [[ma:Romulans|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, when the Discovery Taskforce Fleet launched. | |||
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 Kodiak]], the recently destroyed [[USS Independence]] (*see [[Battle for DS17]]), the [[USS Hammond]], the [[USS Triumphant]], and later the [[USS Wallace]] along with [[USS Darwin]]. | 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.
