Hecate Station (SB-212)
Starbase 212, dubbed Hecate Station, is a Copernicus-class space station located below the Betreka Nebula and near the Klingon Empire borders, in a large asteroid field of a destroyed planet stretching south. It serves primarily as a trade and diplomatic outpost, with a secondary task of being a border patrol hub. Starfleet long-term presence has brought stability and calm to the region and is seen as a central hub for miners to do their trading.
Hecate Outpost is seen as vital and strategic, as navigating the dense asteroid field is brutal and even deadly. Miners risk their lives to get their riches from the various clients visiting the outpost. However, the reason is somewhat deeper than that; after the rise and aggression of the Sovereignty of Kahless in 2388, Hecate station was built in the location to form a warning beacon for any potential sneak attacks into Federation space. Attempts by the Sovereignty to cross the dense asteroid field were met with death.
Starbase 212 has been active since 2388 and has seen various commanding officers slowly treat this station as a valued asset, a typical trade outpost nowadays. Many crew members state that living on Hecate Station is a hidden gem within Starfleet assets as it offers excitement and unknown exploration in the Betreka Nebula. It is also interesting to meet the many species that visit it and set up their shops.
Betreka Operational Element is the logistics and support unit tasked with providing operational, diplomatic and engineering services to the Betreka Sector. The headquarters for sector operations is Hecate Station, a Copernicus-class station near the exit of the Pilgrim Road at the Grim Wall. The station is supported by USS Ukiah that provides logistic support, USS Himalaya tasked with engineering services and USS Kusanagi tasked with border patrol in the Betreka Sector. The Pilgrim Program operates on Hecate Station, where new officers gain experience from the frontline.

The mineral pools of Kythis Springs shimmered under the morning sun like liquid opals, casting soft rainbow hues across the ancient stone walkways. Dr. Lilly Hansen sat at the edge of one of the upper terraces, legs dangling in warm, healing water, a cup of jasmine-ginger tea cooling at her [...]

Lieutenant Elara Roslin didn’t expect to be working on leave—but she couldn’t help herself. Casperia’s southern coastline was home to a cluster of independent fishing villages, culturally rich but politically strained. Tensions between native Casperians and newer Federation migrants had [...]

La’an Hanes didn’t relax easily. When her commanding officer insisted she take time off, she argued. When the order was made non-negotiable, she stewed. Now she stood at the edge of a crystalline pool atop Casperia’s highlands, arms crossed, surrounded by wellness tourists breathing deeply [...]

Katie Harlow didn’t need the noise. The clamor of beaches, the rush of games, the pulse of parties — none of it suited her. When granted shore leave, she requested something quiet. The resort staff called it “The Sanctuary.” A windswept bluff high above the ocean, with nothing but open sky, [...]
