This Canopus class station is a recent addition to the area with a diplomacy and trade focus. Its primary area of interest is the Tholian Assembly. To work to extend and improve diplomatic relationships with this species, it also serves as a waypoint for traders and operators who transport and trade with them.  It is also a waystation for long-distance starships as a rest station. 

It is in the Rital system, with five planets orbiting a young, active sun. The station was named in honor of Montana, where the Vulcans first had contact with humans. Two planets are classified as livable, while the other three are part of a growing natural resources mining operation. An expanding commercial operation has started to build slowly, and adding an office for Harris Transport has fueled interest in existing and future colonial operations in the sector and beyond.  

A recent interest in resources in the sector and the space surrounding it has brought some well-intentioned players. There is also the risk of bad actors—the Syndicate among them—who would seek to establish a foothold in the darkened corners within the station’s area of influence – and just beyond in the far and empty swaths of Federation Space. 

Starbase 406 is home to the Zephyr Exploratory Cruiser Squadron, which runs diplomatic and intervention operations in the surrounding systems and beyond to ensure system security.  The Mackenzie Heavy Cruiser Division is under the squadron. Within the division is the USS Perseverance, which works primarily as a science vessel in tandem with Montana station’s science labs to continue to explore the rimward edges and areas of Federation space.

Justice Heavy Explorer Squadron

A once-quiet corner of the rimward is now filled with Starbase 406 and a growing squadron of science, interdiction, and diplomatic starships. A misfit group of commanding officers together with a no-nonsense Squadron CO, the Justice Heavy Explorer Squadron stands as a beacon in the rimward and beyond.

The thin orange rays of the setting sun danced across the sea ice and up the hill, painting the shadows of thin trees across the sides of the hut. The glow of the fire shining out through the windows matched the hue. A soft wind scattered a few flakes of snow, and the call of local birds carried on [...]
