Task Force 9 was once the Federation's only foothold in the Gamma Quadrant. Called "Guardians of the Gate" they are headquartered at Kotha Tremali III, New Bajor. The Task Force was constantly vigilant against the ever present Dominion while dealing with the day to day realities of making this area safe for Federation citizens and her allies alike.
Following the Consortium Crisis of 2388, the decimated Task Force 9 was deactivated. Several elements were salvaged and reformed into Gamma Command.
Area of Operations
Task Force 9 operated in the Gamma Quadrant in a perimeter around the Dominion territories as outlined by the Treaty of Bajor.
- Task Group Vanguard operates out of Deep Space 11 and the sectors which include the Finnean Convergence Zone, Rakhar and Altor.
- Task Group Sentinel operates south and east of the Maran Republic and the sectors which include Yadera, Bopak and Ophinias Colony.
- Task Group Amazon operates out of Starbase Unity and the surrounding sectors.
- Task Group Belvedere operate out of Gavara and the sectors which include Teplan, Kendi, and Kylata.
