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]].

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]].

Science is a system for the acquisition and organization of empirical and theoretical knowledge. Mathematics, the natural sciences, and the social sciences are the three primary fields of science. All three divisions have both theoretical and applied components and practitioners. Scientists specifically engage in research using the scientific method to expand the overall body of scientific knowledge, to form hypotheses, and to establish theories.
