[[John_R._Brooks|Admiral Brooks]] and [[Gold_Fleet-_ADM_Conrad_Veld%2C_CINCGOLD|Admiral Veld]] -- and the rest of the Federation, for that matter -- don't seem to care. They have claimed the unoccupied system into which the stable wormhole opens. Since the [[Woren Imperium|Woren]] cannot create a 50k km wormhole since losing the destruction of their large wormhole generating station by the [[Lehrren Alliance|Lehrrens]], they can't get to the Milky Way without going through Starbase Foothold -- something that they have yet to attempt. DS301 itself is a Star Core build facility, much like the original [[DS13]]. But it is not alone. There is a network of static defense fortresses that [[John_R._Brooks|Admiral Brooks]] insisted accompany the base through the wormhole as an added deterrent. | ||

'''Tybiiran Complex''' | '''Tybiiran Complex''' | ||
The Tybiiran Complex is the general name given to the asteroid field and its surrounding area. This asteroid field is located right along the borders of the Gorn Hegemony approximately 18 light years due 'east' of Deep Space 13. As a result of its location, its ownership has been disputed from time to time, most recently in 2412, resulting in what has colloquially become known as "The Battle of the Belt," or The Tybiiran Campaign. | The Tybiiran Complex is the general name given to the asteroid field and its surrounding area.

The field itself is a truly huge and unique conglomerate of protoplanets and micrometeors product of the collision of two nebular clusters, most asteroids condensed due to the gravitational waves created by the stellar phenomenon. Both Cluster NFC-101C and the Voira Tundra are byproducts of that collision, like the Tybiiran Complex. It is some six light years wide, three lightyears corewards and almost 1 light year in height, although most bodies are concentrated in a relatively dense band of a few light hours. Some regions show unusual weather, probably due to the very special composition of some of those rocks. | The field itself is a truly huge and unique conglomerate of protoplanets and micrometeors product of the collision of two nebular clusters, most asteroids condensed due to the gravitational waves created by the stellar phenomenon.
