Denali Station

		“We convince by our presence.” Walt Whitman

Denali Station is a Federation base, manned by Starfleet and Civilian personnel, within a city discovered abandoned on the surface of Ring 42 within the Aavaro Wilds. The City itself lies mostly unexplored, and while some functions seem familiar, with roads and buildings seemingly laid out for offices or other mundane tasks, others seem alien and baffling to the crew even as they attempt to make it their own.

General Layouts and Impressions

While largely unexplored, initial surface scans and surveys have given the Starfleet crews some general impressions to work with. The city is roughly rectangular covering 55 square kilometers and, assuming certain norms of population density, was designed for 2.2 million people. Denali is located along the shore of an ocean on its spinward side, and mostly mountains along the anti-spinward side. A wide river, crossable by multiple foot and vehicular bridges, separates a majority of the city from the research facility discovered by previous Starfleet crews.

The city seems to be broken up into neighborhoods, including sections for recreation, administration, industry, and more.

Weather

While long-term observations have not been made, the crew of the Grace Hopper has indicated future inhabitants should expect mild to extreme showers most evenings and temperatures in the range of 12-23C.
