Comprising almost the entirety of the bulbous middle section of Starbase 118, the Commercial District is almost 4.25 kilometres in diameter and 1.45 kilometers tall (in contrast, the island of Manhattan is 2km in diameter). Holographic clouds are simulated at a range of between 1200 and 1400 meters and the “sky” is a holographic projection as is the sunlight. At various times of the year, some of the cities are programmed to receive seasonal weather such as snow in the winter seasons on Earth and on Bajor and in addition, holographic representations of countryside are displayed ‘ground level’ to give the appearance that the dome is endless. Each of the cities are also built around various ‘rivers’ and ‘streams’ that come off the main body of the lake. | Comprising almost the entirety of the bulbous middle section of Starbase 118, the Commercial District is almost 4.25 kilometres in diameter and 1.45 kilometers tall (in contrast, the island of Manhattan is 2km in diameter).

If viewed from a top down clock perspective, the New York District- modelled after the Manhattan area of the Earth’s famed city- would occupy the 3 to 6 positions. The temperature is best described as average and features snow in the Terran winter months. Considered the cultural centre of the Starbase, New York district features a recreation of the famed Broadway and sports seventeen theatres on “Neo-Broadway” as well as several “off-Broadway theatres” that put on plays from all over the known galaxy. In addition, the district also features various art galleries and restaurants, catering for everyone from the casual visitor to the loftiest of art critics. In contrast, a small sub-district of New York is “New Quo’NoS”- a hub for Klingon culture and arts… and fighting. | If viewed from a top down clock perspective, the New York District- modelled after the Manhattan area of the Earth’s famed city- would occupy the 3 to 6 positions.

If viewed from a top down clock perspective, Ashalla District- modelled after the capital city of Bajor- would occupy the 6 to 9 positions. The temperature is balmy in line with the real Ashalla, although it is not as tropical as the San Francisco District. Viewed as the centre of spiritual life aboard the station, there is also a growing artisan community to rival that of the New York District, with exhibitions and installations frequently appearing all year round. The Temple of the Prophets attracts thousands of visitors all round and not just from believers. In addition, several dozen other faiths from around the galaxy including Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism from Earth, Fourism from Betazed and, most recently The Oralian Way from Cardassia Prime have opened temples and shrines in this district. Visitors to the Ashalla District will also notice that it is less metropolitan than the the districts- with plenty of greenery and water as opposed to towering skyscrapers. As such, this has also become popular with those people looking for peace and quiet or a break from the hustle and bustle of urban life, with several camping sites and retreats opening over the last two years. One of the most recent developments is a small community of Cardassians, who have been accepted into this predominantly Bajoran area. | If viewed from a top down clock perspective, Ashalla District- modelled after the capital city of Bajor- would occupy the 6 to 9 positions.

It is important to remember what a starbase represents in the Beta Quadrant. For the crews on a freighter, it is where they can get a new plasma inducer, and have a qualified engineer install it. Federation starbases are where you head if you are oppressed and seeking political asylum. Federation starbases are where you go if one of your crew comes down with some illness that even a veteran doctor has never seen. It is a place where a traveler can get off one ship, and wait for the arrival of another. It is where the tired, lonely, and wealthy crews can spend some time and blow off some steam. There will be refugees who made it there, but don't have transit visas to their intended destination. There will often be mercenaries looking for work. There will be spies for all the major powers trying to gather intelligence. Even with the tightest restrictions, starbases tend to get populated with a wide variety of people. | It is important to remember what a starbase represents in the Beta Quadrant.

The second is as the Holo-matrix control center that controls the artificial weather on the dome. With all the different cities and towns among the dome, this is quite demanding and each deck focuses on a sector of the dome. | ||
