StarBase 118 Specifications: Difference between revisions

The habitat section is where 70% of those residing on the StarBase live on a permanent basis. The other 30% of the base's population live in the 40 upper decks of the area designated the "engineering module". Both areas have many unique residential settings. One example, for those requesting family housing, is the "community layout", where a number of apartments share a central atrium over a 4 deck span, and share a common lounge/eating area. It should also be noted that several area's of the habitat section have been adapted to suit sentient lifeforms with differing needs.

This is the massive bulging dome near the middle of the structure which spans about 15% of the length of the base, and supports it's own atmosphere, complete with clouds and a simulated sun. This area is often one of the most popular places to meet, exchange or buy goods, and of course: eat. There are a number of distinct areas on the dome floor, which have grown up around hubs of activity. There is, for example, a small Klingon area, and a very active New Orleans quarter. These regions of the dome usually occupy certain streets, which have been carefully modelled from the standard architecture they are attempting to emulate to tie in with the general use of the area. Overall, the atmosphere is similar to Earth and is generally busy all hours of the day. Streets are lined with small trees, and flora is evident almost everywhere. At certain times of the day, especially around noon, finding a seat at almost any restaurant in the dome can be near impossible, and sometimes even perilous.
