The Ficus sector was a region of space in or near Federation and the location of the Bringloid system. During the early 22nd century, two Earth colonies were established in the Ficus sector on the planets Bringloid V and Mariposa. Following the evacuation of the Bringloid colony in 2365, the two colonies were reunited. (TNG episode: "Up the Long Ladder") The joint colony became known as the United Ficus Colony.
