A map is required to understand why I've called it what I've called it: LINK
Federation space is located IMO on the Orion Spur along with Klingon space. I believe Cardassian and Romulan space are located on a section of the Sagittarius arm. See my map in the first sentence to understand what I mean. The map I've shown will be used significantly on screen during the series.
This series is going to be based around exploration of the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy.
The series starts when some kind of subspace shockwave knocks out warp drive for thousands of lightyears but more significantly throughout the entirety of Federation space. Warp drive is offline only for a couple of minutes but all ships at warp were knocked to sublight speeds.
Starfleet uses data from sensors throughout the Federation to locate the epicentre of the shockwave. They conclude the epicentre is located within the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy.
Starfleet wastes no time in deploying a vessel to locate the epicentre and find out what it was, if it was a weapon then something needs to be done. The USS Sisko is chosen for the mission, primarily because it's a new state of the art exploration vessel but also because it's designed to be a backup warship and is heavily armed just incase muscle is required.
The USS Sisko sets course but is not alone. The shockwave affected the entire Alpha Quadrant and beyond, it's got the attention of many other races. The Klingons and Romulans just to name a few are also sending ships to investigate.
Along the journey to get to the epicentre these ships run into each other and it's not always a hi how are you doing. For example, the Romulans are hoping this is a weapon and that they can get their hands on it whereas the Federation wants whatever it is destroyed so it can't be used as a weapon. This will cause conflict within the series.
Now, to just give the series a bit more explanation.
The shockwave was caused by an Iconian subspace dampener. An enormous piece of technology designed to shut down subspace throughout the entire Galaxy. The power requirement for this device however is huge and requires over a hundred Omega particles to power it.
The Iconians built the device to protect themselves. They did not need subspace because their doorway technology bypassed it. By shutting down subspace for warp travel their hope was to prevent other races from using warp drive, leaving the Iconians the only race left in the Galaxy capable of intergalactic travel.
The Dampener has been discovered by a race known as the Peacekeepers.
The peacekeepers are obsessed with keeping the peace between other empires and civilisations. A large section of the Perseus arm, at least 10,000 lightyears is controlled by the peacekeepers. They are an advanced race who do not tolerate any form of aggression.
Their ships use dimensional tunnelling for travel meaning their ships enter another dimension instead of using subspace. The peacekeepers have decided to switch on the subspace dampener because it will mean they can successfully keep the peace throughout the entire Galaxy.
Initially switching on the dampener caused an initial shockwave but the power requirement of the device was too much and it ran out of power after just 2 minutes.
The peacekeepers are now preparing to create Omega particles to power the device. This will give the USS Sicko time to locate the device within the series.
I said previously that it caught the attention of many races. Well that also includes the Borg in the Delta Quadrant. The Borg has despatched cubes to the Perseus Arm to also locate the epicentre. Within the series the Borg get wind of the Omega particles and well, I'm sure you can guess what might happen next.
