It’s the Christopher Columbus type of exploration and discovery

Waving at the local natives as they walk by, plants a flag and proclaims this region of space as the Delta Quadrant.

Local natives: .... Delta Quadrant? ... what are these idiots from the Delta Quadrant talking about? ... This is the Alpha Quadrant!

You can be crummy Alpha Quadrant

Well, supposedly not that style otherwise they'd be exploiting and ripping off the peoples they come across enough to make the Ferengi and Romulans blush.

That was Enterprise.

This depends on which star trek you're watching.

TOS says "no man" but TNG and beyond say "no one".

Either way, you could feasibly interpret the mission statement as three separate objectives:

  • Explore strange new worlds (habitation unspecified)
  • Seek out new life and new civilizations (sort of overlaps with the first)
  • Boldly go where no one has gone before (explore totally uninhabited areas)

What if the ultimate goal is just to go somewhere and be left alone?

Somewhere in the middle of the wilderness is a comfy seat with my name on it.

I will find this seat, and when I do, I will finally get around to being a novelist.

sometimes it's their hidden basement they're discovering.
