Star Fleet Engineering
Bureau of Facilities


The Unites Federation of Planets Star Fleet Engineering Bureau of Ships is responsible for the design, construction, maintenance, and retirement of all Star Fleet Naval starships and starcraft in the inventory of the United Federation of Planets.

Major Starbase Designations and Locations

  • Starbase Alpha - Wolf 359, Star Fleet Operations command. Office of CINCSF. Office of CSFO, Central BuPERS hub. Office of COMLOG. Central defensive nodal defense fleet. Largest concentration of ZEUS-class ships in the Federation.
  • Starbase Beta - Epsilon Indi, Andor System. Gold Fleet Command. First Fleet. Major Shipyard.
  • Starbase Gamma - Gamma Orionis, Bellatrix System. Near the Romulan Border. Blue Fleet Command, Second Fleet.
  • Starbase Delta - 40 Eridani A, Vulcan System. Green Fleet Command, Third Fleet.
  • Starbase Epsilon - Gibraltar System, Near Gibraltar II (near Cardassian Border). Silver Fleet, Fourth Fleet.
  • Starbase Zeta - Bynaus System. Star Fleet Engineering Headquarters. Largest shipyard in the Federation.
  • Starbase Eta - Mentioned in writing, but with an undetermined location. Central Federation (non border region) approximately 3 weeks from the Klingon border.
  • Starbase Theta - Mentioned in writing, but with an undetermined location. Yorpa Sector.
  • Starbase Kappa - Hospice-class Medical Outpost. Once the Fleet Command Starbase for Red Fleet, Fifth Fleet. Khitomer, Klingon Border. SB Kappa was destroyed in 2412.
  • Starbase Lambda - Khitomer, replacement for SB Kappa. Purple Fleet, Sixth Fleet.
  • Starbase Omnicron - Tellar. Orange Fleet, Reserve Fleet.
  • Starbase Omega - DS-239. Omega Sagittarii, Terebellum System. Built nearly 10,000 LY from the core of the Federation. Rare elements needed for gravitational plating were initially unavailable and the station was built for rotational gravity. This is still in use, though it is now supplemented by retrofitted plating. Indigo Fleet, Seventh Fleet.


Station Designs

BuDocks is responsible for maintaining all Star Fleet Naval facilities both on planets and in space. This includes responsibilities for design, construction, and maintenance of all space stations, starbases, and ship yards.


Starbase Serenity

Star Core series starbase -- "SBS," on the coreward edge of the Sagittarius Arm overlooking "The Void" approximately 5-6,000 light years coreward from Starbase Alpha.

Deep Space 13

Redoubt-class deep space station -- Deep Space Starbase 13, a tactical command station along near the Tholian Holdfast and Gorn Hegemony in the Beta Iotia system.


Starbase Gibraltar

Star Core series starbase -- Starbase 1256, Starbase Gibraltar, the base of exploration for the Gibraltar II wormhole.


Starbase Alighieri

DS-23x Series Deep Space Outpost -- Deep Space Starbase 230, Starbase Alighieri, is in the Dante System in Indigo Fleet space. (Inactive in RP.)


Starbase Omega

Modified DS-23x Series Deep Space Outpost -- Deep Space Starbase 239, Starbase Omega, is the Fleet Command Starbase for Indigo Fleet. (Inactive in RP.)


Starbase Kappa

Hospice-class Medical Outpost -- Once the Fleet Command Starbase for Red Fleet, SB Kappa was destroyed in 2412.


Starbase Sarrento

Located 6 parsecs from Earth towards Sigma Draconis, is the base of operations for the USS Tempest, Odgreen Division, Green Fleet (no stats)


Starbase Kenai

Located 6 parsecs from Earth towards the Romulan Neutral Zone, is the base of operations for the USS Macronin, Odgreen Division, Green Fleet (no stats)


Starbase McKinley

Earth orbit, base of operations for USS Thunderchild, Odgreen Division, Green Fleet (no stats)


Marrakesh Station

Citadel-class Frontier Starbase -- Deep Space 47 - Located in the Canis Major Galaxy, Marrakesh Station is in orbit of New Andor within the Huygemus Tri-cluster. Accessable from Federation space in the Milky Way galaxy by wormhole, the station is the central command hub for the Marrakesh Expeditioanry Force.


Haytrim Station

Harrellian built Frontier Station -- Deep Space 323 - Located in the Cassini Borderlands in the Canis Major Galaxy, Haytrim Station was salvaged and refitted by Sapphire Fleet's Marrakesh Expeditionary Force to serve as an outpost station along the 'northeastern' edge of the Cassini Nebula on the combined border of the Harrellian Republic and Nildan Imperium. The station serves as operation command for a joint Federation/Cassini Alliance task group.


Starbase Saikai

Redoubt-class deep space station -- Starbase Saikai is located along the Klingon border, orbiting Caude IV in the Gamma Hydra Sector.


Yards and Docks

BuDocks is responsible for maintaining all Star Fleet Naval facilities both on planets and in space. This includes responsibilities for design, construction, and maintenance of all space stations, starbases, and ship yards.

There are many ship yards throughout the Federation. Five large ship yards are the primary construction and refit facilties for the United Federation of Planets Star Fleet Navy. Many smaller yards and starbases construct other supporting craft and even small starships. However, these five facilities account for well over ninty percent of the new hulls in the classes listed as supported by each facility.
