Rutharian sector

The Rutharian sector was a sector located outside Federation space during the 2370s.

It was a fairly empty sector and there was little effort by the Federation to explore the area prior to 2371.

In 2371, while travelling through the sector the USS detected an unusual energy barrier surrounding a Class L planet in the sector and went to investigate. During the investigation the Olympia crashed on the planet. (: "Olympia Descending")

In 2374, the USS entered the sector after receiving a time-shifted distress call from the Olympia.
