History[]
On stardate 51563, in the year 2374, Federation Starfleet officers of the starship USS Voyager, Ensigns Lyndsay Ballard and Harry Kim, conducted an away mission to a class M planet in the Vyntadi Expanse, where they had detected dilithium. The sensor readings turned out to be falsified and served as a lure for a Hirogen hunting party. Ensign Kim survived but Ballard was fatally wounded in the hunter's attack.

With the return of the Federation - and the arrival of its allies - to this region of space in 2410, either Vyntadi Expanse became the namesake for the Vyntadi sector block. (STO - Delta Quadrant mission: "Mindscape")
