The Mutara sector is a region of space under Federation control. It is a significant distance from the Delphic Expanse.
In 2165 in an alternate timeline, the sector was used by Earth Starfleet to evacuate the last survivors of the Xindi assault on Earth. Rigelian flame gems were illegal in the sector at that time. (ENT: "Twilight")
In 2285, Khan Noonien Singh, aboard the hijacked USS Reliant detonated the Genesis Device within the Mutara Nebula, creating the Genesis Planet. As a result of the incident, travel in and out of the sector was restricted by Starfleet. Additional permits were required, making commercial and non-military travel more difficult and more expensive. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
