The '''Ithassa Region''' (''Gorn: '''Chavesss Sector''''') is a vast expanse of space, covering a volume of 15,000,000 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]] | <!--Intro overview--> | ||

<!--History of exploration/discovery--> | |||
The initial discovery of the region is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]], after whom the region is named in Federation records. Other local powers have differing names for the region, including the Gorn name "Chavesss Sector". Federation vessels did not begin exploration of the region until the turn of the 24th Century, with a handful of vessels being assigned before the Tomed Incident. During this first foray, the station [[Deep Space 17]] was constructed to observe the neutron star [[Eratis]]. | |||

It’s called the Chavesss Sector by the [[ma:Gorn|Gorn]], but the discovery is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|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). | It’s called the Chavesss Sector by the [[ma:Gorn|Gorn]], but the discovery is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]].
