== Unique Modifications ==
== Docking Arrangement ==
The stations design differs from its base design in several ways.  For one, Deck 9 where the Station Manager's office would normally go and a conference room would be in the base designs, houses station operations on the entire deck.  Where the conference table would be in the base design is a holographic and touch interface computer table and several others key stations are on that deck as well.
Docking wings are designated, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma.


The station's arrangement was modified in 2381 to make room for setting up the newly activated [[Stargate]] near the western side of the station, toward the deuterium storage facilityThe gate is about 1.5 meters taller than the deck at 4.6 meters in diameter.  Thus, the two crew quarters above the deck were removed and the deck below pushed downward by about half a meter to make room for the gate, power connections into the stations grid and ramp to the gate itself.  Force field generators were also placed at the gate to defend against unwanted guests.
Each docking wing then designates it's shuttle bays as 1 through 6 and its docking slips are designated as 1 through 12.  Docking slips used by Capital size vessels will make the adjacent slip unavailable to smaller craftThus if ''Slip 1'' is in use, then ''Slip 2'' will be unusable. Similarly if ''Slip 4'' is in use by a capital ship, then ''Slip 5'' will be unusable but ''Slip 3'' is usable.

The flight deck's area has been expanded, knocking out the center divider between the two shuttle bays to provide a single large shuttle bay, the edges have also been widened by an additional 10 meters.  This new shuttle bay measures 40 x 80 meters with bay doors on either side. The maintenance bay has been similarly expanded measuring 60 x 60 meters, and has been equipped with bay additional bay doors along one side of the bay, allowing direct access the maintenance bay. The two access lifts have been removed and replaced with a single 30 meters diameter circular liftThis allows the bay to handle 4 [[Danube Class Runabouts]] and 2 [[Type 9 Shuttle Craft]].

The Blazing Umbra Station is a Space Dock Class Station operated by Solas Tempus facility orbiting Shatten III in the Schatten Star System. The facility's location is kept largely secret from the general public, though it is not in an of itself classified. The star system it resides it makes it an excellent research and development facility, though recently the Action Arm of Solas Tempus due to the effects of subspace anomalies within the system with some surprising and largely unexplained effects.

Docking Arrangement

Docking wings are designated, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma.

Each docking wing then designates it's shuttle bays as 1 through 6 and its docking slips are designated as 1 through 12. Docking slips used by Capital size vessels will make the adjacent slip unavailable to smaller craft. Thus if Slip 1 is in use, then Slip 2 will be unusable. Similarly if Slip 4 is in use by a capital ship, then Slip 5 will be unusable but Slip 3 is usable.

Station Policy

This is not a comprehensive list of policies aboard the station, they are the most notable policies.

  • Civility must be maintained, assaults, threats of violence, murder, and the like are prohibited.
  • There shall be no violations of private property or privacy unless such has been authorized by the stations command personnel.
    • Theft shall not be tolerated aboard the station and the stations command may press charges even if the victim does not wish to.
    • Civilian weapons should be kept secure while not in use, either on ones person or within ones quarters / the station armory.
    • Personnel using the station armory for weapons storage, will have access to the armory granted.
    • The stations armory is not to be treated as a general use weapons locker, unless otherwise authorized no person may remove weapons or other gear from the armory unless it belongs specifically to them.
  • At the discretion of the stations command, occupants of the station may be asked to relinquish their weapons.
    • New occupants to the station whose background cannot be checked will be asked to temporarily relinquish their weapons.
    • Weapons relinquished will be placed in the station armory, but not for public use but for storage and study.
    • After weapons have been analyzed for capabilities and potential threats, they can be returned to their original owner.
  • Orders of the enlisted personnel should be followed by the civilian population, complaints about such orders and directives should be directed either toward the department head of the station personnel involved or toward one of the command crew starting with the Operations Officer.

Origins

The station's origin is largely unknown. Explorations by the USS Genesis found the station, completely intact, in the uninhabited star system. The systems anomalies make extremely difficult to travel too and from, so the station's existence was paradoxical. Further more, the station was already configured with an inactive, but completely functional, HAL 9000 hub. The power systems on the station were also completely depleted. Once restored the station's markings were of a Solas Tempus facility with the name of Blazing Umbra Station. The origin of this has long puzzled Solas Tempus officials and has been classified top secret by the Admiralty.

The final puzzle, however, is perhaps the largest. The HAL 9000 hub lists its installation date as over 1 billion years ago, which is quite frankly absurd. This was, however, confirmed by quantum signature dating of the station itself showing the station was in a temporal containment field for around that same amount of time which could very well be what drained the stations power systems as a field of that magnitude would be difficult to sustain for that long. Since the temporal containment field was in use during the time, more traditional means of data (carbon dating, potassium dating, or radiological analysis) are not available to use. These dating methods show that the station was released from its temporal field just a matter of days prior to the USS Genesis first discovering the station.
