Map of the Umbral sector.
The Umbral sector was a sector in the galaxy's Gamma Quadrant, and located in or near Dominion space. In 2411, it became one of twenty sectors that the Dominion granted the Alpha Quadrant Alliance access to, in order to jointly fend off the Hur'q Invasion. (STO - Engineered for War mission: "Turn the Tide", STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Storm Clouds Gather")
Naming[]
The sector's name was derived from the Umbral system, which was located within its borders. (STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Storm Clouds Gather")
Location[]
In the block of twenty sectors accessible to the Alliance, the Umbral sector marked the most coreward corner, and thereby shared a border with only two sectors. The New Yadera sector sat to Umbral's "north", and the Didarea sector to its "west", with the Telos sector positioned diagonally across Umbral and between New Yadera and Didarea. (STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Storm Clouds Gather")
The Umbral sector was situated circa 70.000 light-years from Sol. (DS9 episode: "Emissary")
History[]
In 2411, the Hur'q returned from their hibernation and began a campaign of ravaging the Dominion and its subject worlds. In desperation, Ambassador Odo turned to the Alpha Quadrant Alliance, granting them access to twenty sectors of the Gamma Quadrant in a bid to fight back the Hur'q Invasion together. (STO - Engineered for War mission: "Turn the Tide", STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Storm Clouds Gather")
The Hur'q targeted this sector for invasion and faced joint opposition by the Dominion and AQA. (STO - Gamma Quadrant missions: "Break the Circle", "Hur'q Planetary Assault", "Sinister Gathering")
Following a secret mission by the Ferengi Alliance to T'Ket's Iconian fleet in the Pheben sector, a stable Iconian gateway opened in the Umbral system, and connected it to the gateways in the Jouret system and Jenolan Dyson Sphere. (STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Quark's Lucky Seven")
