One detail in the article has me confused, however:
The Tau Dewa Sector Block, which is south of the Psi Velorum Sector Block, is populated by Romulan refugees looking for places to call home after the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire.
Last I checked, the Empire still existed (albeit in a somewhat weakened state after the destruction of Romulus). Is the article referring to the destruction of Romulus, or has the entire Empire actually collapsed since the events of "Cloaked Intentions"?
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
Suliban system??!?! :eek: Please tell me this means I can blast those continuity ruining [your favorite expletive here] into stardust filled oblivion!!!!

Ok so this fills in between Pi Canis and Psi Valorum. But WAIT. What about Arcanus Arm and Hromi Cluster. Isn't those zones in this space too? Or will they just be 'moved'?

I was hoping to recruit one. Since I got a timeship, all these exotic species crew are starting to make sense. I just want a Relativity uniform and the ability to dress them all in it.
I really hope that these are story missions, not some kind of auto-generated aid the planet fetch quest grinder.
I think they are story based. The flipside is I think they probably have very few ground options even as social hubs because ground takes more work to make.
Looks good. I'm looking forward to explore these areas and have more fun.
Will KDF get good missions other than 5 and this is your story? And not some Fed cross over version? I need something better than "Cluster Missions" then something whipped up for a story.

Looks interesting but terrible map position choice since we have no obvious and easy transwarp near this sector. It may be time for a duty officer diplomatic/marauding T5 reward with a transwarp to this sector.
Also, where's the nebula attached to this sector? With a new colonial chain and a new support doff!

Transwarp to Starbase 234 would be good.
Alternatively: Transwarp to New Romulus award for making out the reputation system for the Romulan Colony.

I believe they indicated they'd have a means of getting there from Fleet Starbases.
The Khitomer System will reside in this new sector block?
I sense the Ambassador Class will make an appearance soon...
If Cryptic really wanted to make a BANG, they'd bring out the Ambassador Pack, with the revised "Monster Maroons" the Enterprise-C crew wore, an Ambassador interior done up like the TOS interior, complete with period correct uniforms for the crew, and Ambassador bridge, along with period correct scaling weapons.
Sign me up!

shouldn't the Veridian system be in this block somewhere? if i recall correctly i think i saw it on a star chart, and it was were this sector block would be
season 7 is already looking great! a whole new block is a big update.
Ok so this fills in between Pi Canis and Psi Valorum. But WAIT. What about Arcanus Arm and Hromi Cluster. Isn't those zones in this space too? Or will they just be 'moved'?
Perhaps they are resizing the ST Universe that is so pathetically small?
Commander Shran - You tell Archer, that is three the pink skin owes me!

You're getting your Klingon colonies mixed up
The Enterprise-C was defending Narendra III. The battle at the end of "Yesterday's Enterprise" in which the alternate Enterprise-D was destroyed took place in the Archer system.

I want to know this too. I haven't finished Hromi yet.
See that they replaced Lambda Hydrae with the Nimbus System (you know from Star Trek 5). Can't tell from the picture, but is it really in the Neutral Zone (or once was)?
Why is "New Romulus" in Klingon Territory? :rolleyes:
Tau Dewa? Given the Sector Blocks are all named after real Star Systems, sounds better if you named it Theta Eridani.
And too bad you didn't move Starbase 24 back where it should be, near Khitomer. But where Starbase 24 is located in the Star Charts, is where Suliban is. (Really should move Starbase 24 to it's proper location along the border, not like you couldn't rename the Fleet Action to something else.)
And hope the middle Sector is Gamma Hydra (From the Kobiyashi Maru), which is supposed to be along the Klingon and Romulan Neutral zones.
Beta Thoridor and Beta Lankal both supposed to be in the Mempa Sector. (TNG: Redemption) This is a major canonical discrepency, Cryptic. Even if you are trying to keep it close to the Star Charts.
Hallelujah! Finally some more places to explore and actually do stuff in! Thank god its not another UI resource minigame / system update ~phew
Season 7 is starting to get very exciting now. I have stretched my patience until it snapped, then I stuck it back together, and snapped it again, and repaired it. Lets hope its worth the wait.

I just hope you remember that Starbase 234 was a ground based Starbase... and not a space station...

God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.

If this is going where I think it's going, what's gonna happen to the Arucanis Arm?

Hopefully Hiromi and Arucanis becomes a floating nebulas like those in Omega Leonis (Klingon Space).
