StarBase 118 Black Tower: Difference between revisions

The '''Black Tower''' is home to the headquarters for StarFleet Intelligence's Romulan and Klingon divisions. With three sections and 21 different levels, it stands atop the "mushroom cap" of [[StarBase 118]]. The tower itself is built as one large cylindrical structure, with two small towers joined to each side. As its name implies the black tower is completely black, due to the special treatment of the outer surface to disrupt sensors and transporter beams. All windows on the tower are specially camouflaged both from visual and sensor inspection, so the entire structure appears as one dark mass.

Each level is subdivided into seven sections, labeled in the standard alphabet. Each section is subdivided into fourteen sub-sections. When referring to a section the full designation would resemble something such as this: Alpha-5, G-12, referring to Section Alpha, Level 5, Section G, Sub-section 12. (Also can be shortened to A-5, G-12.

The top section is designated Alpha, and handles all aspect of Administration (officially), and serves as a Habitat level also. The Director has two offices within the building, the primary and secondary. All command personnel have assigned offices in this section, within the central portion of level three. There are quarters available for visiting and recuperating agents. All permanently stationed agents have quarters within level six and seven. Level four and five comprise labs and medical facilities disassociated from the 'Base's facilities.

The bottom section, Gamma, is another secured section of the tower, comprising the sensitive and 'paperwork' (as many love to refer to it) areas. Levels one and two are filled with research facilities, but the knowledge of what goes on in them is not general access like it would be on a starship. Only personnel, which are cleared for that individual area, are admitted and only for certain sections of the deck. This area of the tower has more "formal" barriers between the level sections and clearance in that area is limited to particular sections OF the levels. Levels five through seven are off-limits except by special clearance from the Director only.

All tower systems are completely independent of the Starbase, though have direct ties to Starbase systems. Record of the tower's activities are completely classified to all Starfleet personnel, and even the standard base databanks list the tower as "auxiliary storage space."  Even [[Rocar|Captain Rocar]] does not have free reign of Black Tower's facilities.
