Starbase 23, code-named Gateway Station, is a Spacedock-class space station located on the Federation border to the Romulan Republic and the Independent Romulan Factions. Positioned on the border in the late-2390s, it was designed to replace border infrastructure that dated back to before the Romulan supernova and the collapse of the Romulan Neutral Zone. Gateway Station is now the hub of Starfleet operations in the Midgard Sector, a region that stretches across the territory of the Federation and Republic, as well as the collapsed Neutral Zone and the former territories of the Star Empire of Rator. Its mission is to maintain stability in the area through humanitarian operations and diplomacy with local Romulan factions. It is also the base for scientific operations to explore territories once inaccessible to Starfleet due to treaties with the Romulan Star Empire through survey missions, negotiating access with local powers, and the sharing of scientific knowledge with regional stakeholders.
Gateway Station is the headquarters of Sirius Squadron, whose primary mission is to further Starfleet’s ambitions in the Midgard Sector.

Gateway Station is based in the Midgard Sector, on the Federation’s border with the Romulan Republic and independent territories. The starbase and its supporting starships are charged with upholding Federation interests and regional stability in the Midgard Sector. This includes diplomatic and humanitarian operations, border patrol and law enforcement, as well as surveying the under-explored and poorly charted reaches of former Romulan or Neutral Zone space. Increased colony expansion in, and potentially beyond, the Federation border, the developing relationship with the Romulan Republic, and the encroaching threat of the Klingon Empire all promise to keep this a challenging frontier.

She found him as they had always found one another these past few weeks: alone in the dark, with only strategy plans and intelligence reports for company in the deep nest of the Rookery. ‘Come to also tell me why I’m wrong?’ Rosewood didn’t need to turn around to know it was her. He stood [...]

‘…Ranger’s port nacelle is still offline, and engineering reports structural stress through the secondary hull. She’ll need at least forty-eight hours for priority repairs.’ There were only five of them in the CIC, and as Rosewood listened to Valance’s summary of the state of the [...]

The corridors of the Vaadwaur cruiser were twisted metal and scorched plating, the shattered hull a metal grave spread across the blazing sands. Cassidy and Rosewood moved through them with cool purpose, rifles raised, every step echoing through the ship’s carcass. They passed bodies along the [...]

Fine red dust kicked up in the wake of the Nomad, its reinforced treads chewing through the sands of Threshold as it bounded up and over rolling dunes that, when they had landed, had stretched as far as the eye could see. Though they could not see their goal itself, they could see the sign of it: [...]
