The station is positioned approximately 4.1 million kilometers from the center of the solar nebula's protostar. The benamite crystal field is a beautiful asteroid field clouded by the gases of a translucent purple nebula, stretching for almost half a lightyear in each direction. Benamite crystals (which are essential for [[quantum slipstream]] travel) form naturally in the area, but the chemical reaction of the nebula enables the unusual regeneration of this precious resource. It was discovered by [[Betazoid]] scientists surveying the area. | ||
Launched in 2398, Amity Outpost represents the next venture into the Delta Quadrant for the Federation following the pioneering voyages of the {{USS|Darwin|A}} and {{USS|Apollo|A}} and the construction of [[Outpost Unity]] earlier in the decade. Amity Outpost marks the first permanent creation of a Federation Diplomatic Mission in the Delta Quadrant headed by a full Federation Ambassador. Ambassador [[Rivi Vataix|Niarivi "Rivi" Vataix]], daughter of the [[Eleventh House of Betazed]], has been assigned as the outpost’s Chief of Mission and serves as the commanding officer for both the civilian Federation Diplomatic Corps staff as well as the [[Starfleet]] personnel assigned to the outpost. | Launched in 2398, Amity Outpost represents the next venture into the Delta Quadrant for the Federation following the pioneering voyages of the {{USS|Darwin|A}} and {{USS|Apollo|A}} and the construction of [[Outpost Unity]] earlier in the decade.
