In all incarnations of Star Trek, the travel is always within the Milky Way Galaxy.
At Warp 9, which is 729 times lightspeed, it would take about 130 years to get from one end of the galazy to the other. Space is BIG.

Star Trek( the original) has always been in this galaxy. Star Trek: TNG went beyond our galaxy once courtesy of Q. The Alpha, Gamma and Delta quadrants are areas of the Milky Way galaxy , In both series only about 17per cent of the Milky Way galaxy has been plotted. All this info has been mentioned at one time or another in these series.

ST:TOS the Alpha Quadrant Alpha Quadrant and a little beyond. The Next Generation went all over from Galaxy to Galaxy. Voyager went the farthest (to the Delta Quadrant).

Both ships had the capacity to exit the Milky Way. I don't think the Borg are from our Galaxy. There never would have been an Enterprise, if that were the case. (I don't think they even know about the Milky Way Galaxy.)

Good question.
I think both the Alpha Quadrant and the Gamma Quadrants are just different sectors of the Milky Way Galaxy.
I'd like to know what other people have to say on this.

My impression was always that they were in distant galaxies as well as our own. In TNG, they actually went to the edge of the universe by accident one time. And "Q" was always sending them someplace (or time) they didn't want to go.
