Missing Star Trek Locations

I've noticed many locations from the various series that haven't shown up in STO. Any other canon locations or species you can think of? Only the series and movies.
Argus Array
The Argus Subspace Radio Telescope Array, located on the edge of Federation space in 2367 about three light years from the Cardassian border. It was the focus of two episodes of TNG and referenced in a third. It's possible that it was destroyed by the Jem'Hadar later in the Dominion War, but I somehow think the Federation would have either rebuilt it either in the same location post-war or somewhere even further on the fringes of explored space.
The Barrens
An area of space spanning one hundred light years in which there are no stars, The Barrens are a subspace node of curved space-time. It was used for experiments in sub-quantum transporter technology in the early 22nd Century before it was decided to be a fundamentally flawed concept. It's relatively close to the Sol System as it was used for experiments well before the launch of the NX-01 Enterprise, United Earth's first Warp 5 starship. I'm rather surprised that the area wasn't used by the likes of the Elachi or Solanae since it the separation between normal space and subspace appears to be thinner there.
Talarians
Known as the Talarian Republic in the universe of the Star Trek novels, they're an extremely patriarchal and militarist species. Though they possess inferior technology to that of the Federation, they successfully fought the Galen border conflicts in the 2350s against Starfleet by their willingness to fight to the death and their use of guerrilla warfare, such as sending out a distress signal from an observation craft and auto-destructing the ship when Starfleet personnel beamed on board to investigate. They may have begun to catch up with the Federation by the 25th Century and they likely would have been a useful ally during the Iconian War, if not an ally for the Klingon Empire in their war against the Federation in 2409.
Sheliak Corporate
A non-humanoid classification R-3 lifeform whose homeworld - which is presumably Class H - is located in the Shelia System, they view humanoids as an unintelligent and inferior form of life, describing them as 'creatures' and the presence of humanoid life as an 'infestation'. The Federation-Sheliak Conflict was fought in the 23rd Century, ended by the arduously negotiated Treaty of Armens in 2255 in which the Federation ceded several Class H planets to the Sheliak. Being xenophobes with particular environmental needs on par with the Tholians, the Sheliak could be another species that would require missions to deal with.
First Federation
First encountered by Kirk's Enterprise in 2266, the First Federation in an insular technologically advanced civilization whose territory is marked by cube-like warning buoys intended to test unknown vessels for their capabilities and the attitudes of their crews. Their flagship, the Fesarius, was estimated to be a mile in diameter, piloted by a single crewperson, and was able to scan the entirety of the USS Enterprise in only a few seconds and in enough detail to then override and shut down some of its systems. They maintain friendly relations with the Federation and their main export is the beverage tranya, which could be found in Quark's on Deep Space Nine in the mid-24th Century. By the 25th Century, its likely the First Federation is surrounded by UFP space, rather like a technologically advanced Lesotho surrounded by South Africa. It's unlikely that, in the midst of the Iconian War, that the First Federation would have been left unscathed by the Elachi and Herald attacks across the Federation.
Enterprise-Era Aliens
Enterprise introduced many new species, some of which have found their way into STO: the Elachi, the Suliban, the Xindi. Others can't be introduced because they were eradicated in the meantime, like the Malurians whose homeworld was destroyed by the space probe Nomad in TOS. But others were introduced that held regional power status relatively near the core of the future Federation: the Tandarans, the Arkonians, etc. Then there were those species whose technology was far in advance of contemporary humans, Vulcans and Andorians: the Xyrillians and the Vissians.

Of course, if they made a few quality of life improvements to the Foundry, and made it easier to incorporate Foundry missions into the actual storyline of the game, then Foundry authors could do some of these stories themselves (they may have already done a few of them).
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Yes please!
Talos is also off the map. (1 sector south of the southern border of the AQ in our game) It's also off-limits last I heard.
Organia would be within the bounds of our existing Beta Quandrant, in the Ba'Aja sector. But we haven't had a need to go there, so it hasn't bee made.
Most of that DQ stuff is off the top of the map. We haven't passed the Nekrit Expanse yet.
Are you sure about Quarra? I know there is a planet material made for it, and I thought we had a map?
Ferenginar is in Sector Space, we just don't have any missions or whatever there so far.
It could have made an appearance during the Klingon War arc. Maybe the Organians tried to stop the war between the UFP and Klingons and the Undine popped in and blew them up.
Just out of curiosity, is there a specific location you would like to (re-)make, just personally ?
I've often talked about rebuilding the DS9 interior. That is still on the table, but not being worked on. I'd also like to do some minor missions that involve taking you to the founding worlds of the Federation (Earth, Andoria, Tellar Prime, Vulcan), so those would be fun.
um. ALL of them?!
I imagine a revamp of DS9 would be glorious, the new(er) ESD is a big step up from the old one. Those visits to the founding worlds would lend themselves for some diplomatic stuff. At least we can already unmask a saboteur on Vulcan.
So an Occampan story in the Delta arc (stopping a Vaadwaur raid?), a visit to Andoria in any of the beta arcs, etc.
They moved around a lot of the systems when they revamped the map. Look at the ones around DS9 and you'll see this.
It would be even more interesting if those mission were back in the 23c era (IMO)
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
so it was directly related to your post...
I did mention this earlier, but this thread gives the database for everything (nearly) in startrek, so you can find other things you might add, whether to the map or elsewhere - Even other Factions not in STO.
Be it hereby noted that said following instructions be incorporated in STARFLEET policy:
NO ONE WILL EVER VISIT TALOS IV.

No Foundry missions there either but I've got one in the works to rectify that (with more cloud and rain on other ground maps but this one is in the best shape to show ATM).
