'''Deep Space 10 (DSX)''' (also known as '''Creshan'na Riyas''' by the Cardassians) is | '''Deep Space 10 (DSX)''' (also known as '''Creshan'na Riyas''' by the Cardassians) is a space station in the [[Menthar Corridor]]. Of ancient alien construction, Deep Space 10 is used as a base of both Federation and Cardassian operations in the region. A growing staff of personnel from both powers maintain and repair the installation, as well as explore its many sealed compartments. | ||
DSX orbits the fourth planet of the [[Eta Corvi system]], a class-O world (about 83% water, with several large islands) that can support humanoid life, has indigenous life, but does not support an intelligent species. | DSX orbits the fourth planet of the [[Eta Corvi system]], a class-O world (about 83% water, with several large islands) that can support humanoid life, has indigenous life, but does not support an intelligent species. | ||
DSX maintains its own [[DSX NPCs|roster]] of personnel assigned solely to the station. Civilians have also began to make their way onto the station, providing a variety of services — and competition for the nearby Menthar Anchorage. The station is also known for its population of giant cybernetic spiders and other arthropods deep within its facilities and out of sight to most visitors that are used by the station's computer to maintain the station and may have been involved with its initial construction long ago. | |||

Deep Space 10 was originally discovered by the crew of the {{USS|Mercury}} in the summer of 2389. On the lookout for a place for a bit of shore leave, they discovered the abandoned station and set about exploring it. Away teams discovered that it had been abandoned centuries before and that it had been built by a race no longer operating in the Menthar Corridor; the crew named that race the ''Menthar''. Communiques dispatched to Starfleet authorized the Federation (or, in the case of the lone ''Mercury'', the ''Mercury'''s) takeover and subsequent rehabilitation of the station. Appropriately, the old Deep Space 10, located beyond the Romulan Star Empire, was recently decommissioned, freeing up the name to match that of its sister station on the other side of Cardassian space. | Deep Space 10 was originally discovered by the crew of the {{USS|Mercury}} in the summer of 2389.
