At a Glance
The Krowtonan Guard remains a mystery to Federation diplomacy. What is known is that they are vehemently territorial and will respond to the violation of their sovereign territory with an overwhelming military response. They do not seem to communicate often with outsiders, suggesting that the Krowtonan Guard are xenophobic- or at least isolationist. Given that the bulk of their neighbors are aggressive military expansionists (or population harvesting ghouls), it could be interpreted that the Krowtonan simply see no benefit to opening themselves up to outsiders.
Territory
Krowtonan Guard space is roughly the same size as Cardassian Union territory, with similar ubiquitousness in military outposts, listening posts, and garrisons stationed on its borders- especially with the Vidiian Sodality on their Coreward border, as well as their Antispinward border- however, they do not share a border with any Kazon. The robust military presence may be a pre-emptive buffer. A "neutral zone" seems to exist between the Krowtonan Guard's Rimward border, and the Haakonian Order's Coreward border. Ships of both types seem to avoid the area.
T'ban String Cluster
The Coreward-Spinward border of the Krowtonan-Haakonian Neutral Zone appears to be complicated by a large spatial phenomenon- an ultradense stellar nursery cluster. The T'ban Strong Cluster, so named because of the strange strings of forming protostars among twists of gravitationally "rutted" dust and gas. The cluster is thirty-six light-years across. Both powers seem to avoid the area and with good reason- the String Cluster is gravitationally hazardous, with a lot of electromagnetic and plasma interference. The protesters within are charging the dust in the "strings" with plasma, and the result are powerful ion plasma storms similar to the Denorios Belt's Badlands near Bajor.
