The location of the Tholian Assembly and Romulus on "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart

"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. The area of space between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus represented the extent of exploration by the Federation in the late 23rd century. Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in this quadrant. The chart, first seen chronologically in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game", and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
