Starbase 86 is one one of Starfleet’s closest key installations to the disaster currently unfolding in the Paulson Nebula. All station personnel must now prepare to disembark refugees numbering in the tens of thousands in one of the largest relocation efforts Starfleet has ever attempted. Civilian transports, cargo vessels and ships of the line have all been repurposed for the evacuation effort. All available space on the station itself, including arboretum and green belt areas, is in the process of being converted to temporary accommodation. How will those who live and work aboard the starbase handle the rapid influx of species, cultures and individuals unaccustomed to life in space? How will these people react to the destruction of their lives and homes?
