Deep Space 224: Difference between revisions

The station consists of 397 decks with crew of roughly five thousand Starfleet personnel, and almost six thousand civilians at any given moment. Situated in an ideal position to observe the scientific phenomena inside [[the Borderlands]] region, the Station is home to a contingent of [[Vulcan Science Academy]] representatives who operate out of a small section of the station reserved for scientific study. This made the Station a moderately traveled hub for scientists as well as a pit stop for science vessels from different planets. As a result, the Station houses a variety of merchant and small business shops spread across the lower levels hosted by a variety of species. It is said that if the Federation had mothballed the station, merchants would have bartered for it to remain in operation with Starfleet in a short period.

A small research facility designated [[Outpost 89 Delta]] sits less than one light year away from [[Deep Space 224]]. It is home to a contingent of Starfleet Intelligence of unknown size and intention. The outpost relies on DS224 for supplies and logistical support as well as protection. Regular patrols from the Station's contingent of runabouts and [[The 417th Fighter Wing]] serve as deterrents for any malicious intent. Starfleet Intelligence has not seen fit to open the outpost to regular Starfleet or civilian personnel, and as such maintains a perimeter of which no unauthorized craft are allowed to enter.
