  • A brief history of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, exploring major and minor powers. Based in the Universe of Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry.
    **Please be aware, this video series is based on Alpha Canon, that is to say, all Star Trek TV Shows and Films. Books, games and comics will generally not be used, though some minor crossover will occur from time to time. Although Star Trek: The Animated Series, is technically not canon, more and more people are starting to accept it, and so this channel will consider it canon except where it contradicts the other shows or movies.

    From what I've seen, the Four Quadrants can be broken down like this..the Alpha and Beta quadrants are made up of four main powers(3 after the Dominion war, 2 or 1 after the Romulan supernova), Gamma, which was dominated by the Dominion with some uncharted areas, and Delta, which though was mainly Borg territory, had a more free for all system with numerous local powers spread everywhere. Love how this site connects all the Lore(lol) together. And this is just the Milky Way galaxy...

Not sure what people expect from TV shows on a shoestring budget, that they got so irate, till they attacked a black lead and diverse cast out of a job, because...."bad writing" allegedly, and not; racism or homophobia or misogyny.

    Very good list of the AQ/BQ powers, you even mentioned the Zalkonians (they controlled at least some territory). The only other one I would add would be the Pakleds (unless I missed them). Quark once mentioned that a system "belonged to the Pakleds", so they did extend some influence, at least.

      Something about the Metroid lore would be great too, it's highly interesting believe me!
      The canonical sources of informations are: the two-parts prequel manga (yes the developers confirmed it's canon), "Metroid Zero Mission", "Metroid Prime", "Metroid Prime 2 Echoes", "Metroid Prime Hunters", "Metroid Prime 3 Corruption", "Metroid Prime Federation Force", "Metroid Samus Returns", "Super Metroid", "Metroid Other M" and "Metroid Fusion".
      The original "Metroid" on the NES and "Metroid 2 the return of Samus" are not canon anymore since they were "replaced" by their remakes. "Metroid Prime Pinball" is just an unimportant spinoff, and other material such as the western comic books were never canon to begin with.

      It is explained in TNG S1 Ep3 I believe but basically they used an entire star system as their mothership, adding planets to the system as a means of expansion. When it went supernova only one planet was far enough away to survive, but it only contain a scout in hibernation, only awakened when ships entered the planets orbit in the aforementioned episode.

    I feel like I just got a briefing from Tuvok. Bringing me up to speed on a galactic politics in a few moments. This guy has a great voice, but you can break down Trek lore into a lot longer chunks. A friend of mine loves Star Wars for it's Politics. When I suggested Star Trek, they watched a youtube primer and thier eyes glazed over.
    Just. Uhm. Take things step by step. Star Wars Politics is simple. Star Trek is like real life. A convoluted mess.

    I guess I understands now as to why writers for the new trilogies decided to ditch the whole canon completely. I'm a fan but even I was like confused by the names and the systems and the laws which made the Star Trek Universe. But having said that, those dumb idiots should've not create the abominations like the Abram's Star Trek, Discovery, Picard and even Strange New Worlds. It's disgusting.
