Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview
Sector 70, also known as the Qo'noS Sector, was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant. This sector was in sector block Omega Leonis. In this sector, Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld and capital planet of their empire, was located in the Qo'noS star system. (Star Trek Into Darkness; DIS: "Context Is for Kings"; SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Spock Amok")
In the alternate reality, the Qo'noS system was close to the edge of the Neutral Zone.
In 2259, activity within this zone was being monitored by Starfleet. Results from this intelligence gathering were displayed on a galactic map, with its focus primarily on the Alpha Quadrant, which was in a collection of graphics and video media that were seen on a powerwall in the offices of Admirals Christopher Pike and Alexander Marcus at Starfleet Headquarters.
In late February 2259, Khan Noonien Singh used a portable transwarp beaming device to flee from his attack on Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco with a long-range site-to-site transport all the way from the stolen jumpship 208 on Earth to Ketha Province on Qo'noS. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
The sector was first referred to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Redemption"; however, it did not receive a name until Star Trek: Into Darkness.
The designation "sector 70" was seen as part of the transporter destination coordinates on the portable transwarp beaming device display graphic. The alternate designation "Qo'noS sector" was seen in the targeted comm burst display graphic on the main viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. Both the graphic and the map can be seen at "Star Trek: Into Darkness" – User Interface VFX at vimeo.com. [1]
In the prime timeline, the "Qo'noS Sector" wa seen on the map "Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview". This map, from Captain Gabriel Lorca's ready room aboard the USS Discovery, is based on the reference works Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library. [2]
