Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country implies that the Alpha/Beta border runs through, or is relatively close to, Federation space. The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Price" (1989) introduced the concept of four quadrants of the galaxy, named the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta quadrants, respectively.
Art staff explanations also contradict each other. The exact quadrant borders are not clearly established in the series canon.
The season 3 Star Trek: The Next Generation Writers' Technical Manual asserts that there are four quadrants in each sector (which seem to vary in size). In other episodes it appears to refer to an entire quarter of the galaxy. The original usage of quadrant occurs in episodes such as "The Deadly Years" and "The Squire of Gothos", where numbered quadrants (448 and 904) are given. 5 Star-Trek-style quadrants in other works.
