Starbase 109: The Sentinel

Starbase 109 is rated PG-13.

Although the Spacedock series of stations proved highly successful, by the 2330's Starfleet faced a problem with its latest ships. The trend had been for ever larger designs, and all projections were that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. It was decided to build a small number of new, much larger facilities which could easily handle not only repair but also construction of significant numbers of the largest starships at need.

Construction of Starbase 74, the first of the new facilities, began in 2342. Despite many technical problems the project kept to its projected build time of sixteen years and the Starbase came on-line in 2358. Since this time two further facilities have been completed, including Starbase 109, and two more are currently underway.

During the terror of the Dominion war (Officially, 2373-2375), as the Founders' military forces devastated the Federation and resources dwindled, Starfleet handed Starbase 109 over to the Federation Civilian Defense Authority. The base was far from the front, and personnel were desperately needed elsewhere. For almost two decades, the FCDA and the local population struggled to keep the base running.

Then Hobus went supernova, destroying the Romulan homeworlds. Civil war erupted in the once mighty Star Empire. Meanwhile the Klingons, tired after decades of occupying Cardassia, faced increased internal pressures as well, drawing them away from old alliances. The space bordered by the two Empires and the Federation, known as the Triangle, began to grow in unrest. Raids on neighboring planets increased, and piracy, once a distant memory, erupted again. Starfleet reactivated the near-dormant Starbase late in 2390 to stand as a sentinel against chaos.

For almost six years, they've grown until the base is a thriving city with Starfleet, civilians and diplomats from across the galaxy. It is now coming up on 2397, and the base is well-inhabited, a crossroads for the sector. It has become a business and entertainment center, a retirement option with Tivoli Gardens and the more moderate Perry Gardens, and a playground for those who like to travel. It is also of great interest to the criminal element in space, and has a large refugee population in Brown Sector.

In the memory of Susan Nixon. She was a mother figure to all who came aboard. She cared about every player and every character, and was our CO for almost the entirety of Starbase 109's twelve years. Her departure greatly saddens us all. Starbase 109, her legacy to us, will continue with her in all our hearts. Her contributions to the simming community and her ability to mentor writers on her sims has been invaluable and greatly appreciated.
