The '''Gamma Quadrant''' is one of the four [[quadrant]]s of the [[Milky Way Galaxy]].

==History and specifics==
The inhabitants include (but are not limited to) the [[Changeling]]s, [[Vorta]], [[Jem'Hadar]] and [[T-Rogoran]], all of whom are members of the [[Dominion]], an interstellar empire that controls most of the quadrant. ({{e|DS9|Emissary|The Jem'Hadar}})

In [[2369]], [[Benjamin Sisko]] and [[Jadzia Dax]] discovered a [[Bajoran wormhole|wormhole]] near [[Bajor]] and [[space station]] [[Deep Space 9]] that connected the [[Alpha Quadrant]] to the Gamma Quadrant, the discovery of which eventually led to the [[Dominion War]]. ({{e|DS9|Emissary|{{ed|Call to Arms}}}})

===History===

At around [[Stardate]] 28920.15 [[Starfleet]] sent ships on missions to the Gamma Quadrants. Personal logs of these missions have been broadcasted to the entire [[United Federation of Planets]]. ({{g|ST|Infinite}})

After the Dominion War, the Dominion permitted Federation starships to renew the exploration of the Quadrant. [[Commander]] [[Elias Vaughn]] commanded the {{uSS|Defiant|NX-74205) (II}} in the first exploratory mission in [[2376]]. The crew of the ''Defiant'' made [[first contact]] with the [[Vahni Vahltupali]], the [[Yrythny]], the [[Cheka]], the [[D'Naali]], the [[Nyazen]] and the {{USS|Valkyrie|NCC-68816}}, which had been assimilated by the [[Borg]]. ({{n|DS9|sub=Mission Gamma|{{nd|Twilight}}|This Gray Spirit|Cathedral|Lesser Evil}})

In [[2383]], the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-E}} began a joint exploration mission in the Gamma Quadrant with the [[Romulan]]s. The {{USS|Robinson|NCC-71842}} also spent several months in the Gamma Quadrant at the same time. ({{n|ST|sub={{st|Typhon Pact}}|Plagues of Night|Raise the Dawn}})

===Scientific phenomenon===
The Gamma Quadrant [[planet]] {{dis|Meridian|Gamma Quadrant}} exists in another dimension for sixty years, existing for only a few days when it phases back into normal space. ({{e|DS9|{{ed|Meridian}}}})

===Alternate realities===
In another alternate reality, the [[Klingon Empire]] had conquered most of the Alpha and [[Beta Quadrant]]s prior to [[2380]]. Once the conquest of Bajor was complete, it planned to invade the Gamma Quadrant through the wormhole. ({{n|TNG|Q & A}})
