STAR TREK : QUADRANTS EXPLAINED

The Star Trek Universe is complicated. The main area (The Milky Way) is split into Quadrants. What are they? How were they created? What is in them? Todays video will explain all! Hope you enjoy!

0:08 Not the 'universe split into quadrants', but the 'galxxy split into quadrants.

Galaxy not Universe. Star trek's quadrants divide the Galaxy. Canon suggests there is a barrier at the edge of the galaxy and other things like Kelvins from Andromeda that can turn you into a cube of minerals. So canon recognizes the galaxy and things beyond, e.g. the universe. Colloquially, we use the term Universe to describe all of canon (e.g. the Marvel Universe) for a specific franchise.

TNG established the Milky way was seeded by ancient humanoid creatures. This is why most life in Trek is DNA based and why most species evolved to be humanoids. It also explains why most worlds have similar plants and animals that just evolved differently based on the worlds they were on.

The galaxy is a big place. I've been a fan since TOS. The quadrants gained importance as the story developed. Nice video.

This is pretty neat, but at 5:25 you say that the Enterprise was flung to the Delta Quadrant by Q. System J25 was only 12000 ly away, and therefore was very much still in the Beta Quadrant.

I always wondered why Voyager never went towards the Gamma quadrant end of the Bajoran wormhole instead of the way they did. I've also wondered whats on the other side of the Romulan star system and Klingon empire and Cardassian union

I know so much more about startrek now thank you!!!😮❤

That cartoon chart of all the different races is awesome!! I had to go back and pause to try and read all of it but it cut off. I can’t wait for a video over all the different races and then some deep dive videos into each race individually. Or maybe by quadrant if individually is too much or some races don’t have enough canon lore for a full video. I’m really loving this channel. Of course, I love all the others. But I think Star Trek holds a special place in my heart over the rest of the fandoms you cover. Great video as usual. Very informative without being boring 🤘🏼🔥

Hello there Federation Outpost 1-11. This video was really interesting and informational. I knew some information about the different quadrants from Star Trek thanks to my Star Trek Encyclopedia. However, sometimes a book, like that can get very confusing. That is why I really enjoyed this video and the way that you broke down each quadrant. It was a perfect way to introduce young fans of Star Trek to the quadrants or reintroduce older fans' passion for the Star Trek franchise.
Thanks once again for this wonderful video. Hope that you have a wonderful day and can't wait to see more Star Trek related videos from you soon. Peace out to you and 🖖, Federation Outpost 1-11.
P.S. could you please do a video on Q or the Q collective.

As the galaxy spins, shouldn't the quadrant reference spin in tune to it? Otherwise just wait long enough and a delta system will swing into the alpha quadrant!

Glad you're making Star Trek content now!

This isn't the universe. It's merely our galaxy. One of countless thousands that make up what we know as the universe, and all of which is still expanding. The actually size of which is inconceivably... big.

[carenlettofsky]

Real question - Why is the Alpha quadrant in the mathematical quadrant III and not quadrant I?

[shuvmesumknowlegde]

What I can't figure is how did the dominion and Borg avoid each other. In both cases they do have the technology to travel vast distances but the Borg penetrated the Alpha quadrant, bypassing Beta and Gamma quadrants.

[coolraul]

3:17 - DId you say that Vulcan and Andoria are in the Beta Quadrant (BQ)? Uh... no. They're both in the Alpha Quadrant (AQ); Vulcan is only about 16LY from Earth, while Andoria is about 11LT from Earth.

As for the Klingons, much of their territory extends into BQ, but Qo'onos (homeworld) is also AQ about 90LY from Earth.

how can space nerds still confuse galaxy and universe
"the universe split into quadrants"

[angelicagaldos]

Thank you 6TH Ranger for the awesome video. Live long and prosper as well as Peace and long life 🖖 my friend.

Where is doctor who’s planet in the Star Trek universe it went supernova but it did exist where was it?

[donaldduck]

Nice video idea, but too many mistakes. The map is pretty but wrong (Biggy: In canon, Klingons share a border with Cardassia)
I wonder if the video maker ever watched Star Trek.
