Deep Space 19 (DS-19), code-named Concordia Station, is a Federation Unity-class starbase located in the Kovar system on the outer edge of Federation space in the Alcott Sector of the Federation’s shared border with the Romulan Free State.
After its construction in 2380, it was initially intended to be used by the Federation to promote joint exploration missions with its former and new allies after the Dominion War. Though it was only sometimes successful with representatives from the Romulan government, it has successfully served Starfleet for over two decades in promoting coordinated exploration efforts beyond Federation territory with other powers.
Furthermore, Deep Space 19 is a critical link in Starfleet’s hyper-subspace relay network for its deep space exploration assignments—many compressed data streams from ships on deep space exploration assignments in the Beta and Delta Quadrants are received by Deep Space 19.
It also provides defence for one of the Federation’s prominent colonies, Kovar Prime and is critical to the security of the Federation border in this region. Further defence duties were assigned to the station in 2399 when Coppelius in the Vayt sector became a Federation protectorate.
The Odyssey Squadron is a formation centred around the starship USS Odyssey, the prototype of the Odyssey-class explorer. It is currently under the command of Commodore James Preston McCallister. The squadron was assigned as a deep space expeditionary force within the Delta Quadrant. Assembled at the end of 2400, the squadron was ordered to proceed to the Swallow Nebula region beyond the Gradin Belt to begin re-exploration efforts. The squadron was assigned directly to Fourth Fleet Operations and not one of the fleet’s task forces; it also works closely with the Delta Exploration Initiative.

Deep Space 19 and USS Formidable
The bridge of the Formidable was as calm as a gentle breeze with activity as each crew member diligently tended to their respective tasks. The gentle hum of the engines, now transitioning from warp six to sub-lightspeeds, was a soothing backdrop to their focused efforts. “Dropping out of warp, [...]

The soft hum of the environmental controls stirred Hawkins awake. Blinking against the simulated sunlight streaming through the sheer drapes, he slowly became aware of his surroundings. The oversized bed he lay in was shrouded in dark silk sheets that felt impossibly smooth against his skin. [...]

Deep Space 19 and USS Formidable
The moment Radcliffe’s lips pressed against his again, Hawkins felt the intensity of their past come flooding back. Though he had just insulted him, Hawkins knew he had to pull Radcliffe close to him for his mission to be achievable. He mirrored the affection that he could feel from Radcliffe. It [...]

Deep Space 19 and USS Formidable
Xandaria was a world unlike any other Hawkins had ever seen during his time working for Starfleet Intelligence. It was a vibrant, independent hub that refused allegiance to the Federation or the Romulan Free State. Xandaria existed in a raw, unrestrained freedom zone. It was free from any [...]
