| ==History==
| |
| Not much was known about the '''Below''', a section of Starbase 118 underneath the Dungeon area that had been in existence since before the destruction of the first incarnation of the starbase. Starfleet personnel discounted the possibility of the Below due to extensive mapping of the starbase and in part, an unwillingness to entertain what they ascribe to was an urban legend.
| |
|
| |
| The Below came about before Kalandra succeeded in the bombing of the original starbase, with the location being a major commercial and civilian trade hub. A precursory investigation by an intelligence officer, Silberg (2) (who was later exposed and courtmartialed when he was discovered passing information from the starbase to the Romulans, predating the [[Yolanda Wars]]). The Darkness, was its denziens commonly refer it to, composed of various races and individuals engaged in activities ranging from slave auctions, species trafficking, killers for hire, thieves and pickpockets, to slum-style living and brothels.
| |
|
| |
| It was a level that was not specifically developed as the Commerical Section or Dungeon was, and in place of a designed floor is a dark conglomorant of passages designed by its citizens, which snake into a labyrinth leading to different areas, depending on where one's appetite and interests went. The Slave Auctions and drugs drove much of the commerce, as well as weapons trading. There was no official code, and money was everything. Homeless were known to occupy the Below.
| |
|
| |
| There were five ways into the Below, each access point monitored and guarded (or some cases, carefully hidden where station citizens can't easily access the gateways). Those who ventured, or stumbled, into the Below, often did not return. This section of Starbase 118 is no longer accessible and all miscreants have been removed by the Intelligence and Marines Depts, under the orders of Commander Leo Handley-Page. (3)

| ==Notations==
| |
| * (1) This has been a common practice throughout the starbase's almost 22 year history, but should not be taken as the end result. The Below has a strange way of persisting, despite past Command Staffs' best efforts. As stated above, permission should always be obtained by the current Command Staff before simming material related to the Below. There are no exceptions to that rule.
| |
| * (2) Information on the history of The Below and the character of Silberg should be directed to Commander David Cody (egads... I thought I had buried that character out of existence, how in frak did you guys dig HIM up???)
| |
| * (3) There are actually seven ways to access the The Below, as simmed by several writers over the years, but are not necessarily common knowledge. Which means (based on the group sim history) there are two remaining gateways.
