  Galactic quadrants (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parts of the Romulan and Klingon empires spill into the Alpha Quadrant, and thus the Romulans and Klingons are still referred to as Alpha Quadrant Powers (possibly analogous to the former Soviet Union having been considered a western power, though it was physically located mostly in the east).
The Gamma Quadrant is located between the 9 and 12 o'clock positions if the plane of the galaxy were seen as a clock face with the 6 o'clock position bisecting the Sol system.
The Gamma Quadrant is primarily ruled by the Dominion, although large portions remain unexplored.

 Star Trek Dimension - Investigating Trek
Although "quadrant" literally refers to a "quarter" and therefore should be logically used for naming a quarter of the Milky Way, it usually refers to a smaller, sector-sized area of space, e.g.
According to this, the quadrants are arranged fairly illogically, neither clockwise nor counter-clockwise: the lower left quadrant is called "Alpha", the lower right one "Beta", the upper left one "Gamma" and the upper right one "Delta".
Beta Quadrant as far as possible simply because they think this would confuse casual viewers, who only know that the crew of Voyager has stranded in the Delta Quadrant and now wants to get back to the Alpha Quadrant, since that is the region where Earth is located.

Nonetheless, during the late 23rd Century, Starfleet was able to locate a number of spaceways that linked the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, thus enabling Starfleet to begin exploring the Beta Quadrant as early as the 2280s.
The shape and extent of the Dominion is based on Graham Kennedy's estimate, but I have moved the Dominion's borders some distance away from the wormhole exit, to reflect how the wormhole was used for two years before the first encounters with the Dominion.

 Christopher L. Bennett - Re: New Star Trek Series   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Well, Earth is on the border between quadrants -- just as London is on the border between hemispheres, because that border is defined by a line passing through the Greenwich Observatory.
And since a greater percentage of that complex of linked civilizations is in Alpha than Beta, I therefore find it credible that "Alpha Quadrant" would be used as a shorthand for the whole thing.
Perhaps the Beta Quadrant, like Asia in the minds of 19th-century Westerners and many near-Easterners, is considered a relative backwater or wilderness compared to Alpha, so that powers who want to be taken seriously present themselves as Alpha Quadrant powers.

 Star Trek Dimension - Star Trek Cartography
Already in the era of Classic Trek, the expression "quadrant" was used for the exact determination of positions in the Star Trek universe.
It is unknown whether this was originally a mistake that wasn't corrected afterwards to keep continuity or if it was dramatic intention to degrade the quadrant of the classic empires of the Romulans and Klingons to a "secondary quadrant" (after all, the Federation is supposed to be mainly located in the Alpha Quadrant!).
On the basis of the diameter of the Milky Way and the number and situation of the quadrants to each other, we can now determine their dimensions: a quadrant has a width of 50000 ly (at the middle dividing line) and the same length (at the middle line as well).

It would have been nice if it were explained how we know that the Terrelians are an alpha quadrant speceis (for example, which episode of which Star Trek sereis delt with the Terrelians in the alpha quadrant).
For example, the Equinox crew, the group of Klingons in ''Prophecy'', a few alpha quadrant speceis that were assimilated by the Borg were even found in the delta quadrant (for example, Seven of Nine, and one time a Bajoran-Borg was found).
It seems that there are plenty of groups with opportunity to travel away from their home world, (some by accident, some on purpose) including alpha quadrant speceis traveling to the delta quadrant.
