StarBase 118 Deck Layout
|
"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." | |||
| - Charles Du Bos |
StarBase 118 has over 2,750 decks. As such, a deck layout is necessary for ease of navigation.

Command Section
- Main Article: StarBase 118 Command Towers
The Command Section, also known as the "Towers," are the highest module of the base, and serve as office-space for both civilian and StarFleet entities.
Notable Towers
- Command Center: The Command Center is the main operations hub for the entire starbase.
- Executive Tower: The Executive Tower is the location of the administrative offices for the small number of top brass who call StarBase 118 their home of operations.
- Black Tower: The Black Tower is home to the headquarters for StarFleet Intelligence's Romulan and Klingon divisions. The Tower is restricted to Starfleet Intelligence personnel only, but other officers among the senior staff have access on an as needed basis.
Drydock
- Main Article: StarBase 118 Drydock
The drydock is the massive ship-docking area inside the base. Decks 1-54 are considered part of the drydock section but are actually above the drydock itself, and encompass the "collar" below the Command Towers.
Decks 1-455
- 1: Towers basement, towers turbolift access support areas, towers staff food court
- 2: Towers security, medical waystation, access control, towers environmental control, towers waste management
- 3-8: Towers auxiliary shuttle docking center

Administration Section
The administration section functions as the hub for all officers who work on the StarBase. Many posts such as security, science/research, and support (medical) have their main offices and research centers based here. All officers in the command division 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 shift.

Habitat
The habitat sections, split almost equally at about 270 decks a piece, house both permanent and temporary residents of the base.
Decks 767-789
These decks are reserved for classrooms. Approximately 10% of the population of Ops are children, of which approximately 75% are school aged. Among the classrooms are labs that cater to different fields of interest, including art, science, math, technology, music, etc.

Engineering Section
The engineering section is home to a multitude of different areas, making it somewhat misnamed. While it is true that a good deal of the computer cores and two of the fusion generators on the base are housed in this section, as well as the offices of engineering officers and dispatch points of maintenance teams, there are also many hundreds of large cargo bays, and extensive research labs.

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.
