DS17 Crew History

In late 2383, the starbase was nearly destroyed by an invasion fleet launched by the Gorn Confederacy and took massive damage to its external and internal structure. The crew of the late USS Independence took up residence at the station between ship assignments until the end of 2383, beginning of 2384 to help aid in the repair of the station, along with help from both the crews of the USS Triumphant and USS Ursa Major.

Since then a permanent crew has slowly been assigned to the station and have taken over the repairs and operation of it. That crew numbers about 5,000.
