The Maelstrom Sector is a sector of space in the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. The region is highly inhospitable to life and is plagued with subspace rifts, quantum destabilization, and high radioactivity. The region is typically avoided; however, the Romulan Republic has recently begun colonizing the region as the new home of their civilization. The United Federation of Planets has also resumed operations in the area.
