Sector 492 is a region of space in the Delta Quadrant that contained a former Talaxian colony. In 2376, the USS Voyager encountered a Kartelan freighter carrying supplies from this sector, and obtained a quantity of amber spice. (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy")
- It seems that Federation cartographers use a complex system when numbering sectors, since low-numbered sector 492 is located in the Delta Quadrant, tens of thousands of light years from numerically similar sector 441 (the Briar Patch, which is in the distant Alpha Quadrant).
