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.

‘I just got off the comms with Amadeus Dyke.’ Even the holographic projection of Vice Admiral Morgan, hovering above Valance’s desk, dripped with trepidation. ‘He’s not impressed.’ Valance wasn’t impressed, either. But she tightened her jaw and tried to not let it show. ‘I’d [...]

The ‘foreman’ at Scarix was, in truth, the General Manager. Ji Ye-Seul was a sullen, sharp-faced woman, who greeted the Starfleet away team like they were a professional inconvenience and not saviours come to meet them. ‘I don’t know why you needed a whole party,’ she grumbled the moment [...]

‘…and she just wants me getting the new personnel squared away,’ grumbled Ensign Nia Hargreaves as she grabbed a cup of coffee from the replicator in the deck one break room. A small mess hall, it was cramped and inauspicious and without windows, but sufficed for taking breaks during a shift. [...]
