Montana Station (SB-406)

Starbase 406 has passed final tests, and its construction is complete. Now, the station's true mission begins.

Montana Station

Canopus-class • SB-406 • Montana Station Squadron • Task Force 21 • Managed by FCAPT Edwin Wagner

This Canopus class station is a recent addition to the area with a diplomacy and trade focus. Its primary area of interest is the Tholian Assembly. To work to extend and improve diplomatic relationships with this species, it also serves as a waypoint for traders and operators who transport and trade with them.  It is also a waystation for long-distance starships as a rest station. 

It is in the Rital system, with five planets orbiting a young, active sun. The station was named in honor of Montana, where the Vulcans first had contact with humans. Two planets are classified as livable, while the other three are part of a growing natural resources mining operation. An expanding commercial operation has started to build slowly, and adding an office for Harris Transport has fueled interest in existing and future colonial operations in the sector and beyond.  

A recent interest in resources in the sector and the space surrounding it has brought some well-intentioned players. There is also the risk of bad actors—the Syndicate among them—who would seek to establish a foothold in the darkened corners within the station’s area of influence – and just beyond in the far and empty swaths of Federation Space. 

Starbase 406 is home to the Montana Station Squadron, which runs diplomatic and intervention operations in the surrounding systems and beyond to ensure system security.  Within the division is the USS Perseverance, which works primarily as a science vessel in tandem with Montana station’s science labs to continue to explore the rimward edges and areas of Federation space.

The dining hall was all glass, wood, and the faint smell of engineered wildflowers. It was Janoor III’s way of saying “we’re fine now. Really.” The lake sparkled like it had been paid to do so, while Ferengi stalls flashed neon and questionable deals. Inside, Task Force 21’s captains and [...]

The Jasnea River shimmered like molten glass in the morning’s early light. Its winding form slipped between forested banks and winded towards hills in the distance. The watery, crystalline surface caught every angle of the rising sun, turning pockets of foggy mist into rising waves of golden [...]

The shuttle hummed through the upper atmosphere of Janoor III. Light turbulence shifted the four passengers gently as they sat in the aft compartment of an aging Type-8 shuttle. Two padded benches faced each other across the narrow space. Despite the utilitarian seating and muted bulkheads, the [...]

“Now, see this here,” Commander Marlon Smythe said as he gestured toward the overhead LCARS panel with one hand while cradling a coffee cup in the other. He took one last swig and set it down in a recessed hold between the seats. “The trick with this console isn’t what’s lit. It’s what [...]
