An Iconian gateway, or interspatial portal, was a technology developed by the Iconians that allowed for instantaneous travel throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. At least two variants of the gateways existed: small, planet-based gateways and enormous space gates large enough to transport starships.
In 2365, Captain Picard and his crew discovered the first Iconian gateway and Iconia.[1]
In 2372, a group of renegade Jem'Hadar discovered another gateway. The gateway, located on Vandros IV, was subsequently destroyed to prevent its use by the Jem'Hadar.[2]
In 2409, a space gate, which led to the Solanae Dyson Sphere, was discovered in the Jouret System.[3] This gateway was then used by a joint alliance between the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Republic to explore the dyson sphere and, eventually, the Delta Quadrant.[4]
