Astrofori One

Revision as of 14:17, 4 November 2018 by Rich (talk | contribs) (added info about its destruction)

Astrofori One was a space station in the Menthar Corridor. Opened in 2392, Astrofori One was located in the Gamma Camelopardalis system, orbiting the main star. It was known by several other names depending upon which species you asked, but its name in Federation Standard was derived from an extinct Earth language translated roughly as "a place to talk among the stars." Astrofori One's mission was to bring together the major and minor powers in the Menthar Corridor under the banner of peaceful cooperation and collaboration. However, in 2395, after its resources and defenses were severely depleted following the withdrawal of Romulan and Breen support, the station was suddenly attacked and destroyed by the Tholian Assembly, which viewed the station as an illegal provocation and threat to its territory. Fortunately, the station's occupants were able to evacuate before its destruction thanks to the sacrifice of the USS Minerva and USS Stalwart, which allowed numerous other vessels to take thousands of fleeing residents to safety.

Astrofori One formerly contained diplomatic missions, military or civilian detachments, scientific teams, or other representatives from the governments and powers listed below. The list is not exhaustive, though it should be relatively accurate with respect to the major powers listed.
