Additional Information

Location		Bajoran System
Description		Under the advisement of the Federation President and Bajoran First Minister, it was decided that a new space station in the Bajor system would be the second station to bear the name Deep Space 9. Construction of the station began shortly after the destruction of its Cardassian-built predecessor in 2383 and finished in 2385. Specifications and layout Deep Space 9(II) is the first of the Federation's new Frontier-class, and the largest deep space station in operation in 2385. At normal capacity, it supports a population of 13,000 and is capable of taking on the passengers and crew of dozens of ships that make dock. Unlike DS9's Nor-class predecessor, which was designed as an Ore Refinery and converted into a starbase, the new space station is designed to be a starbase of the latest design, with full repair and construction facilities, as well as state of the art science labs. DS9 II was designed to be the premier operations hub for all deep space assignments in the Bajoran sector. The new station is made up of three intersecting rings, perpendicular to each other, with a central spherical core. The Horizontal Ring is known as "X" ring, with the two vertical oriented rings known as "Y" and "Z". The rings house docking facilities, repair bays and cargo bays, as well as sensor arrays, shield generators and weapons ports. The operations center, informally known as the Hub, is located at the upper intersection of the two vertical rings. The docking ring is connected to the sphere by six crossover bridges. The station is powered by eight mark-XIII fusion reactors, and four more as backups. The station also serves as headquarters for the Starfleet Judge Advocate General in the Bajoran system. Notable Locations Hub The Hub serves as the Operations center of the station and is located at the intersection Y and Z rings. It features multiple levels including a centralized briefing table, a dedicated workstation for the Security chief, and multiple other stations. The station Commander's office is directly attached. Memorial Deck This deck is positioned just above the “TBN” Park, with visibility of most of the station. This deck has plaques dedicated to all those who died during the Destruction of Deep Space 9 as well as a plinth describing the original station and its origins. A piece of bulkhead from the first station is also on display here. ”TBN” Park The 'Park is a large, natural area featuring a cultivated woodland, swimming pools, a theatre, and other recreational areas. The park also serves as a component of the station's life support system. Plaza The Plaza is a three story plaza, the social and shopping center for the station and serves as the Promenade for the new station. Amongst other establishments located here are Quark's Bar, the theatre, and the Replimat. Among the commercial establishments in the Plaza is a bar and holosuite facility, Quark's, owned and operated by Quark, Bella's Confections, Café Parisienne, and a new version of the Replimat Cafe. Bajoran Temple There a new Bajoran temple on the new Deep Space 9, located on the plaza, a place of worship for those who follow the Bajoran religion. Sector General Also known as Hospital, the Sector General is the medical center of Deep Space 9 and is directly beneath the Plaza. Stockade Complex The stockade complex is the detention facility on Deep Space 9 and is overseen by Commander TBD. FSA Field Office The Federation Security Agency Field Office is the headquarters for FSA agents and task force teams assigned to the Bajoran Sector. Where located on the station is to be announced. History Construction Construction support station 173 was built for the workers to use as a staging area for the construction of the new DS9. The skeleton of the station was laid out by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in 2383, and remained in the same location as the former station. It became partially habitable and operational in September 2384. Opening DS9 (II) was due to be fully operational and officially opened in August 2385. An opening ceremony was planned, involving the attendance of the Federation President and Bajoran First Minister, among other important officials. ****** With the exception of Quark, specific character names for specific positions and occasions were deleted as we are not using the majority of the character canon from those books that used this station. We will add more information and names of characters here as needed, those that are necessary, when or if certain story ideas pop up. As for Quark, although in story, he may be around there somewhere, we won’t be roleplaying him. Whenever our characters are in Quarks establishments, no actioning him either.
