History & Background / Dossier

The name loosely translates as 'First Junction'.

Pre-Dark Age

The first Sch'ikaa Waypoint was operational from the middle part of 26th century. Its construction opened the Chaiik system to jump-1 travel. The waypoint was destroyed around 3730AD when the Voyagers arrived in the distant Fringe.

Modern Era

The second Sch'ikaa Waypoint was constructed in the same location around 5100AD, at the close of the Golden Age. It was a link in the jump bridge between the Sha’a Cluster and the K’shek cluster. Operations were reduced and sections of the Waypoint were decommissioned in 5560AD due to its increasingly poor condition and the growing availability of domestically produced jump-2 starships.

A number of sections of the Waypoint were removed and stripped of components in the 5580s. Many of these salvaged parts were incorporated into the Ith-Saa-Ka Waypoint.
