'''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.

In late 2391, the new terrorist organization known as the [[Maquis Reborn]], led by [[Nikael Kalre]], made their first strike, seizing control of Deep Space 10. Kalre and his compatriots locked the station into a quarantine protocol, trapping its residents, and killed the Cardassian co-commanding officer Gul [[Tolas Dajhul]] in a dramatic bombing of the station's medical center. In his message to the Federation, Kalre demanded the release of all remaining Maquis prisoners from Federation penitentiaries in six hours or he would destroy DSX. The crew of the {{USS|Garuda}} were able to thwart Kalre's plans, but the terrorist leader escaped from the station before he could be captured. | |||

The opening of [[Astrofori One]] diverts station personnel and civilian residents to the new "forum among the stars," and Deep Space 10 is slated for decommissioning. However, the Cardassian Union resists, seeing the move as a threat to its influence in the region, since the Union holds minor representation aboard Astrofori One and lacks persuasive voting power in its governance. After some initial protests by Cardassian officials that accused the Federation of not acting in good faith when they originally signed the joint operations agreement one year earlier, the Federation (not wishing for the disagreement to worsen otherwise warming post-war diplomatic relations) reaffirms its original agreement to keep the facility open and operate it with the Cardassians. Ambassador {{n|Lily|Ventu}}, now Secretary of the Exterior for the Federation, was instrumental in negotiating the agreement that allowed DSX to continue to operate jointly after Astrofori One was commissioned. | |||
