Starbase 285

 

 

Starbase 285 is located in the Alpha Quadrant in a region of space that borders both Cardassian and Ferengi territories.  The station is in orbit around the planet Laeya III.  The planet Laeya III is an M-Class planet with a federation colony that is still rebuilding itself after the Dominion War.   Starbase 285 not only serves as a military outpost but as a location for trade and commerce.  As such merchants of many races and backgrounds come to the station to sell their wares.   

 

During the Dominion war the region saw heavy fighting and the Federation colony on Laeya III was nearly wiped out.   The original Starbase was destroyed in the fighting and the current one was towed into position on stardate 53258. The station is currently under the command of Admiral John Loren and has a small compliment of starships assigned to it.  

 

Ships operating in the region have been called upon to fight piracy, negotiate trade deals and diplomatic treaties.  In the wake of the Dominion War several of the ships conduct patrols into Cardassian space, helping to protect the rebuilding Government.
