The '''Alpha Quadrant''' is the common designation for one of the four quarters of the Milky Way galaxy. It lies in the "south-west" region of the galactic map, adjacent to the [[:Category:Beta Quadrant|Beta Quadrant]] and the [[:Category:Gamma Quadrant|Gamma Quadrant]].

==Overview==
The Alpha Quadrant is home to a number of major and minor political entities. Of these, the largest by far is the [[United Federation of Planets]], with its capital, [[memoryalpha:Earth|Earth]], being located on the border with the neighboring [[:Category:Beta Quadrant|Beta Quadrant]]. Nearly half of all Federation territory lies within the Alpha Quadrant, including a number of major member worlds.

Other major Alpha Quadrant powers include the [[Cardassian Union]] and the [[Klingon Empire]], though the majority of the territory held by the latter is found in the Beta Quadrant. This was also true of the former [[Romulan Star Empire]] until it collapsed following the [[memoryalpha:Romulan sun#The Romulan supernova|supernova of 2387]].

Many of the remaining powers are divided into two groups. Some, like the [[Ferengi Alliance]], achieve a place on the galactic stage through trade and engagement with other powers. Meanwhile, many of the more isolationist governments like the [[Breen Confederacy]], the [[Tholian Assembly]], and the [[Tzenkethi Coalition]] are known to defend their territory aggressively against outsiders.

As of the late [[memoryalpha:24th century|24th century]], the Federation is believed to have explored less than half of the quadrant, though much of this space consists of the distant galactic rim.
