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]]. | The initial discovery of the region is attributed to astrophysicist [[Ithassa, Sjori|Sjori Ithassa]], after whom the region is named in Federation records.

Despite the redeployment of resources, the region still held some interest from the Federation. Starfleet recommensed exploration of the region in the late 2360's, after ships had been freed up by the end of the [[ma:Federation-Cardassian War|Federation-Cardassian War]]. The fleet reclaimed Deep Space 17, which had been running on automation for the previous three decades; but withdrew once more in 2373 as resources were needed for the continuing [[ma:Second Federation-Klingon War|Second Federation-Klingon War]] and then for the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]]. | |||

Starfleet turned its attention to the Ithassa Region for a third time in late 2379, four years after the end of the Dominion War. With Starfleet still rebuilding, a small [[Ithassa Region Starfleet Vessels|Taskforce]] headed by Rear Admiral [[Hollis Calley]] was sent to once more reclaim and explore the vast region. The initial taskforce comprised of the [[USS Kodiak-B]], [[USS Independence]], [[USS Hammond]] and [[USS Triumphant (Mwangi-era)|USS Triumphant]], with the [[USS Wallace]] and [[USS Darwin]] following soon after. The crew of USS Wallace assisted in the second reactivation of Deep Space 17. The USS Kodiak was decommissioned for technical reasons in early 2383, with the [[USS Ursa Major]] taking her place in the taskforce. | |||
