The station known as Deep Space Ten (or DSX) 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. | The station known as Deep Space Ten (or DSX) was originally discovered by the crew of the USS ''Mercury'' in the summer of 2389.

Appropriately, the old Deep Space Ten, somewhere past the Romulan 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 is one of two known stations in the region, and -- except for their shared dilapidation -- has almost nothing in common with the [[Menthar Anchorage]]. DSX orbits the fourth planet of the Eta Corvi star 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. | Deep Space 10 is one of two known stations in the region, and -- except for their shared dilapidation -- has almost nothing in common with the [[Menthar Anchorage]].
