**Please be aware, this video series is based on Alpha Canon, that is to say, all Star Trek TV Shows and Films. Books, games and comics will generally not be used, though some minor crossover will occur from time to time. Although Star Trek: The Animated Series, is technically not canon, more and more people are starting to accept it, and so this channel will consider it canon except where it contradicts the other shows or movies.

From what I've seen, the Four Quadrants can be broken down like this..the Alpha and Beta quadrants are made up of four main powers(3 after the Dominion war, 2 or 1 after the Romulan supernova), Gamma, which was dominated by the Dominion with some uncharted areas, and Delta, which though was mainly Borg territory, had a more free for all system with numerous local powers spread everywhere. Love how this site connects all the Lore(lol) together. And this is just the Milky Way galaxy...

Very good list of the AQ/BQ powers, you even mentioned the Zalkonians (they controlled at least some territory). The only other one I would add would be the Pakleds (unless I missed them). Quark once mentioned that a system "belonged to the Pakleds", so they did extend some influence, at least.

Something about the Metroid lore would be great too, it's highly interesting believe me! The canonical sources of informations are: the two-parts prequel manga (yes the developers confirmed it's canon), "Metroid Zero Mission", "Metroid Prime", "Metroid Prime 2 Echoes", "Metroid Prime Hunters", "Metroid Prime 3 Corruption", "Metroid Prime Federation Force", "Metroid Samus Returns", "Super Metroid", "Metroid Other M" and "Metroid Fusion". The original "Metroid" on the NES and "Metroid 2 the return of Samus" are not canon anymore since they were "replaced" by their remakes. "Metroid Prime Pinball" is just an unimportant spinoff, and other material such as the western comic books were never canon to begin with.

Star Trek Online is not canon. There were other species in the Empire but they were considered slaves/servants, and did not serve in the army/fleet. The few subject species we know about hated the Klingons and were trying to gain independence.

It is explained in TNG S1 Ep3 I believe but basically they used an entire star system as their mothership, adding planets to the system as a means of expansion. When it went supernova only one planet was far enough away to survive, but it only contain a scout in hibernation, only awakened when ships entered the planets orbit in the aforementioned episode. I’m no expert, I just so happened to have finished that episode a few hours ago

But having said that, those dumb idiots should've not create the abominations like the Abram's Star Trek, Discovery, Picard and even Strange New Worlds. It's disgusting.
