    The United Federation of Planets straddles the line between the Alpha and Beta quadrant. They are about 50/50 on either side. In fact the line runs right through the Sol system so half the year we Earthers are in the Alpha quadrant and the other half we’re in the Beta quadrant.

      This of the kind of accurate pedantry I can get behind.

      I’m not the least surprised that people made a map of the Star Trek star systems.

      But I’m impressed anyway.

        It does bother me that (afaik) we still don’t have a solid 3D model of the ST galaxy…

      Wow, I legitimately never knew this. I thought all these civilizations were in the Alpha Quadrant. I only remembered the Beta Quadrant being mentioned once in TOS.

        I think the much more frequent mentions of the Alpha quadrant in TOS are less about where the Federation was located and more about where the Enterprise was assigned to explore on its five-year mission.

        Quadrants never made sense to be. Would you want to with octants - having the center of the galaxy being the dividing point?

      I don’t know; I always got the sense that the use of the word “quadrant” varied from writer to writer, and what makes up a “quadrant” changes not only show to show but episode to episode. Voyager spent 7 years in the Delta quadrant, while in Star Trek 6 Sulu’s Excelsior was inconveniently far away from the Enterprise because “We’re now in…(pause to check console) Alpha quadrant.” and had to “fly her apart then!” to get to Enterprise in a matter of minutes or hours.

      So which was is the Delta quadrant in that image? Also, where does the other end of the wormhole pop out?

        The Delta Quadrants is not featured in that image, only the lower two quarters. Putting into context, that map is the lower blob in this:

        The Sol system is ~26,000 light years from the center of the galaxy. The UFP is about 8000 light years distant according to Picard in First Contact. So the Delta quadrant would be triple the distance that this maps shows away in the direction of the Romulans. That’s my best guess as I can’t find a reliable quadrant map.

        Delta and Gamma quadrants would be on the opposite side of the galactic center and aren’t pictured.

    Romans: The damned Vulcans out you up to this, didn’t they.

    Vulcans: We did not; however we do see the logic in their clarification and designation methodologies.

    Andorians: Hell yeah we do! Up yours Romuloosers!

    Tellarites: I still think we should have called your side the Asshole Zone.

    Humans: We voted, with four ‘yeas’ and one ‘nay.’ And here on earth we have a saying, “If you don’t vote you can’t complain.”

    Romulans: But- You- I- Wait. Hold on a second. Who was the fourth “yea?”

    Klingons: We wanted to be the Alpha sector, but the humans threatened to blow our planet up. It’s not our fault they can’t just resolve disputes with a good war like a civilized species.

    And also for the entire Dominion war we forget that half the federation, the Klingons, and the romulans are all in the beta quadrant. But we’re fighting to save the alpha quadrant.
