Olympia Station(DS-20)
Olympia Station is the headquarters for Starfleet’s operations in the distant Olympia Sector, an area of space on the extreme rimward and spinward frontier of the Federation’s territory in the Alpha Quadrant. This Spacedock-class station originally served as Starbase Bravo, but it was relocated from the Mellstoxx Sector after the completion of the new Guardian-class station that now serves as Starbase Bravo. With a technological refresh and a new command crew, Olympia Station serves as the home port for Arcturus Squadron.
Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron is an elite exploratory unit that specializes in finding new ways forward for Starfleet. Distinct from navigation, which is plotting a course based on the precise knowledge of exactly where one is in the universe, wayfinding is a more general word that refers to the process of orienting oneself in regard to space, place, objects, and peoples. Wayfinding was practiced by the Polynesian and Norse voyagers of Earth in the ancient past, as they used landmarks, the stars, and their relationships with other beings to find their way across the seas. While Arcturus Squadron engages in traditional surveying and charting missions, its mandate is also to use whatever tools it can to find the way forward, whether through diplomacy, acquiring or developing new propulsion methods, or, when necessary, mitigating threats to Starfleet’s exploratory mission.
Currently, Arcturus Squadron is based out of Olympia Station at the rimward trailing edge of Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant.

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
Still somewhat dazed from the explosion, Wren tried to process the news he’d just received from the captain in the dim gloom of the drone ship’s hold. He was vaguely aware of a low alarm tone sounding, likely in response to the bomb. Through panicked thoughts, he tried to center himself by [...]

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
Arondight was hanging in space nose-to-nose with the disabled drone freighter over the gold and bronze atmosphere of a gas giant. While his away team had only been over on the freighter for a few minutes, Captain Blake Bennett was already anxious for them to return. Even without the added [...]

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
Split between irritation and amusement at Blake’s uncharacteristically capitalist (for a Human) request to begin the negotiations, Tornellis sat up straight and clasped his hands together on the table. In his own youth, he’d gone from a slave of the Orion Syndicate to a mover of goods between [...]

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
On hearing that they were boarding an automated freighter, Wren felt his mood lifting a little: without people aboard, there wouldn’t be any casualties for him to treat. Still, it felt like tempting fate to return his medical kit to the equipment locker, so he sinched the cross-body strap a [...]
