This artificial wormhole was discovered only a few years ago; initially investigated by the USS ''Suffolk'', it has become a strategically important location to the Federation. Its near terminus became the locale for Starbase Gibraltar, and is located approximately 12 days at maximum warp from Starbase Delta, in a region where inhabited planets are relatively sparse. The far terminus is located in uncharted space slightly beyond the far borders of the Klingon and Ardillian Empires. | This artificial wormhole was discovered only a few years ago; initially investigated by the USS ''Suffolk'', it has become a strategically important location to the Federation.

The few expeditions beyond the wormhole have revealed small areas of this uncharted region. Two alien races - known as the Tolkin and Creators - were discovered on one expedition; both appeared hostile. The technologically advanced Creators may be responsible for the wormhole, and are (based on last observations) believed to be involved in a genocidal war against their former vassals, the Tolkin. A later expedition (resulting in the loss of the starships Suffolk and Europa), in a different direction from the wormhole, discovered a Dyson Sphere of proto-Borg origins approximately 49 hours from the wormhole entrance. It was slightly damaged by the USS Daedalus during the rescue operation; one of the Sphere's egress hatches has now been severely damaged by torpedoes, causing a hole large enough to admit a starship. | The few expeditions beyond the wormhole have revealed small areas of this uncharted region.

So far, the only other sentient race contacted by the Daedalus is the Masovians, an early-warp civilization which communicates only by telepathy. No diplomatic arrangements have yet been reached, but they are not hostile, nor is their technology advanced enough to represent a threat to Federation security. They use monorail trains for intercity travel, and their justice system includes immediate punishment, with executions for murder (carried out by telepathically disabling the murderer's telepathic senses, then overlanding their body with pain until their nervous system fails). | So far, the only other sentient race contacted by the Daedalus is the Masovians, an early-warp civilization which communicates only by telepathy.
