StarBase 118 has over 935 decks. As such, a Deck Layout is necessary for ease of navigation.

Command Section

The Command Section, also known as the "Towers," are the highest module of the base, and serve a wide range of purposes. One of the most recognizable and well known towers is the "Black Tower" which is restricted to Starfleet Intelligence personnel only. Most other towers are leased to less conspicuous Starfleet divisions or even civilian organizations. The Operations Command Center, known to many simply as Ops, can be seen in the Command Section as well, and is where the section gets its name. This six deck area is shaped like a round tablet, and functions as the main nerve center of the starbase.

Drydock

The drydock is the massive area inside the base. Due to the high amounts of traffic, most of the ship bays are usually occupied by visiting StarFleet and commercial ships.

Administration Section

The administration section functions as the hub for all officers who work on the StarBase. Many posts such as security, shuttle/fighter wings, science/research, and support (medical) have their main offices and research centers based here. All officers in the command divison also have their offices located in this sector.

This area also houses the bulk of the starbase's educational facilities including a distance education campus of Starfleet Academy. As such, Starbase 118 serves as the primary place where officers report to at the beginning of their day to receive their orders and assignments for the coming day.

Habitat

The habitat section is where 70% of those residing on the StarBase live on a permanent basis. The other 30% of the base's population live in the 40 upper decks of the area designated the "engineering module". Both areas have many unique residential settings. One example, for those requesting family housing, is the "community layout", where a number of apartments share a central atrium over a 4 deck span, and share a common lounge/eating area. It should also be noted that several area's of the habitat section have been adapted to suit sentient lifeforms with differing needs.

Commercial Sector

This is the massive bulging dome near the middle of the structure which spans about 15% of the length of the base, and supports it's own atmosphere, complete with clouds and a simulated sun. This area is often one of the most popular places to meet, exchange or buy goods, and of course: eat. There are a number of distinct areas on the dome floor, which have grown up around hubs of activity. There is, for example, a small Klingon area, and a very active New Orleans quarter. These regions of the dome usually occupy certain streets, which have been carefully modelled from the standard architecture they are attempting to emulate to tie in with the general use of the area. Overall, the atmosphere is similar to Earth and is generally busy all hours of the day. Streets are lined with small trees, and flora is evident almost everywhere. At certain times of the day, especially around noon, finding a seat at almost any restaurant in the dome can be near impossible, and sometimes even perilous.

Engineering Section

Most of this tightly packed column is consumed by computer and power-plant resources. Although backup cores and power-plants have been scattered throughout the rest of the base, the main activity is done here. Engineering officers have their offices and workspaces in this region, and maintenance teams are also dispatched from this point. There are also numerous large cargo bays in the engineering module.

Subspace Array

This large bulbous section of the base, at the very bottom, is devoted almost entirely to communications processing and hardware for this system. Because the Starbase is a hub for media moving across the quadrant as well, it is an extremely important relay in the communications network.
