GALAXY: QUADRANT:

In interstellar mapping, a quadrant is one-fourth of the Milky Way Galazy. The galaxy is divided into four quadrants, each forming a 90-degree pie wedge as seen from above or below the galaxy's plane. The four quadrants are labeled Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma. The United Federation of Planets is mostly located in the Alpha Quadrant, although parts spill over into Beta. Station Deep Space 9 is located in Alpha Quadrant. The Klingon and Romulan empires are located in the Beta Quadrant. The Borg homeworld is believed to be in the Delta Quadrant, while the Bajoran wormhole has one terminus in the Gamma Quadrant.
