'''Amity Outpost''' is a [[Federation Diplomatic Corps]] installation based beside a rare regenerating [[benamite]] crystal field in the [[Barossa Sector]] in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. The benamite crystal field is a beautiful asteroid field clouded by a translucent purple nebula, stretching for almost a lightyear. 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. | '''Amity Outpost''' is a [[Federation Diplomatic Corps]] installation based beside a rare regenerating [[benamite]] crystal field in a purple colored solar nebula the [[Barossa Sector]] in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. 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.

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.

Ambassador Vataix leads a contingent of 800 Federation Diplomatic Corps personnel along with 645 Starfleet personnel assigned to support the operations of the outpost. An additional 800 civilians live and work on the outpost, serving as shopkeepers and merchants, scientific researchers, construction and starship repair crews, and in other supporting roles such as teachers and healthcare workers. | Ambassador Vataix leads a contingent of 800 Federation Diplomatic Corps personnel along with 645 Starfleet personnel assigned to support the operations of the outpost.

Amity Outpost is a repurposed outpost and was originally commissioned as '''Copernicus Station''', a Starfleet R&D facility constructed in the far reaches of the [[Beta Quadrant]] at the border of the Delta Quadrant to conduct research on anti-[[Borg]] technology. | Amity Outpost is a repurposed outpost and was originally commissioned as '''Copernicus Station''', a Starfleet R&D facility constructed in the far reaches of the [[Beta Quadrant]] at the border of the Delta Quadrant to conduct research on anti-[[Borg]] technology. | ||
Following nearly two decades of operation, Copernicus Station was transferred in the 2390s to the Federation Diplomatic Corps and moved into the Delta Quadrant to act as the Federation’s new welcome center and diplomatic outreach facility for the area after Starfleet vessels with quantum slipstream drives began making serious expeditions into the previous unexplored quadrant. The overhaul, move, and reassembly of the outpost was overseen by Commander [[Tristam Core]], who serves as its Chief of Operations (the equivalent of chief engineer | Following nearly two decades of operation, Copernicus Station was transferred in the 2390s to the Federation Diplomatic Corps and moved into the Delta Quadrant to act as the Federation’s new welcome center and diplomatic outreach facility for the area after Starfleet vessels with quantum slipstream drives began making serious expeditions into the previous unexplored quadrant. The overhaul, move, and reassembly of the outpost was overseen by Commander [[Tristam Core]], who serves as its Chief of Operations (the equivalent of chief engineer aka Chief O’Brien on DS9). It was formally renamed Amity Outpost to reflect its new mission of peace and understanding through mutual friendship between the Federation and the species of the Delta Quadrant. | ||
Amity Outpost is supported by a standard {{c|Defiant}} vessel, the {{USS|Independence|B}}. In addition, the outpost has a number of auxiliary craft ranging from {{c|Talon}} scout vessels to Type 6A shuttles and heavy transport cargo shuttles to assist the station and visiting ships. | Amity Outpost is supported by a standard {{c|Defiant}} vessel, the {{USS|Independence|B}}.
