The Starbase 118 Commercial Sector is located in the massive bulging dome near the middle of the starbase structure. The dome spans about 15% of the length of the base, and supports its own atmosphere, complete with clouds and a simulated sun. This area is often one of the most popular places to meet others, exchange or buy goods, and of course: eat.

The Commercial Dome is an umbrella term referring to the entire bulbous mid-section of StarBase 118. However, within the dome exists a number of sub-sections and neighborhood. The Promenade is a particularly lively section of the dome that has a number of themed neighborhoods and a wide variety of facilities including restaurants, bars, theatres, art galleries, gyms and much more.  Other areas of the dome host business activity in the skyscrapers, including independent corporations, law firms, media broadcasting offices and even some living spaces.

When considering the layout of the commercial sector, it is important to note that density is very low in comparison to most modern-day cities like New York. Because the commercial sector is so large (more than 4km across, as compared to 2km across for Manhattan), it is possible to create large and airy buildings, wide streets, large parks and gardens and to be creative with architecture.

Directly underneath the ground level of the Commerical Dome is an area that has earned the nickname [[StarBase 118 Dungeon|"The Dungeon"]].  Known as a somewhat rougher neighbourhood that the Dome above it, it is home to private clubs and other businesses that desire both privacy and an element of exclusiveness in their clientele.  Though the area maintains a veneer of respectibility, it is also home to the majority of the Starbase's criminal element, who operate out of some of the establishments located there.
