The [[Alpha Quadrant]] is the common designation for one-quarter of the [[Milky Way Galaxy]]. Its boundary in the region around the Federation is defined by a meridian passing through the [[galactic core]] and ''at least near'' the [[Sol System]].

The [[Orion Arm]], [[Perseus Arm]] and [[Sagittarius Arm]]s of the galaxy are located in that quadrant. (''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' background graphic)

Interstellar politics in the Alpha Quadrant in the [[24th century]] were generally dominated by the [[United Federation of Planets]], along with other regional powers including the [[Cardassian Union]], the [[Tzenkethi]], the [[Talarian|Talarian Republic]] and the [[Ferengi Alliance]], all of which interacted on generally peaceful terms. Members of the [[Tholian Assembly]] and [[Breen Confederacy]] remained mostly isolated from the rest of the Alpha Quadrant populations.

While only about 25% of the quadrant had been sufficiently explored, it was known to contain examples of shocking interstellar beauty and scientific wonder such as the [[Argolis Cluster]], the [[Arachnid Nebula]] and the [[Badlands|Cardassian Badlands]]. The quadrant also contained two stable [[wormhole]]s, the [[Barzan wormhole]] leading to the [[Delta Quadrant]] ({{TNG|The Price}}, {{VOY|False Profits}}) and the artificially constructed [[Bajoran wormhole]], which extended some 70,000 [[light year]]s to the far side of the [[Gamma Quadrant]].
