 ==Patrol Duty==
+To protect [[Starbase 118]] against surprise attacks, a patrol and monitor group maintains an around-the-clock watch on the base "in the air." This group currently consists of:
+* an escort ship (currently  the [[USS Phoenix-C]])
+* 2 squadrons of [[The Fighter Guide|fighters]]
+* 1 squadron of [[ma:Type-9 shuttlecraft|Type 9]] support shuttles.
+Whilst on patrol duty, the [[USS Phoenix-C]] remains flanked by one squadron of fighters, while the other squadron of fighters maintains a defensive posture in the opposite quadrant of the base's orbital zone. The patrol vessels use a random pattern of movement to ensure that timed surprise attacks based on movement are not possible. The patrols, however, coordinate their movements via encrypted channels to ensure adequate coverage.
+Fighter squadrons and support shuttles rotate in staggered shifts of four hours, while the main escort vessel maintains patrol in constantly until required to return to dock for repairs or service. Crews aboard the escort vessel rotate internally, and when necessary can transport back to the base, or utilize a shuttle ferry.
