Deflector System : FS-3 Starbase deflector system*
*Note: FS-1 = Civilian Station
FS-2 = Federation Research Station
FS-3 = Deep Space Station
FS-4 = Fleet Command Starbase
Relative power output: FS-1/FD-12 = 0.8; FS-2/FD-12 = 10;
FS-3/FD-12 = 25; FS-4/FD-12 = 50
Regeneration rates on station shields are also correspondingly larger.
FD-12 are the shielding systems used on Federation Battleships of the
ZEUS class
Station shields are usually divided into semi-independant and
overlapping sectors. A REDOUBT has 3 sectors approximately
900m long, divided into quadrants around the station. It is
possible for shields to fail in a single quadrant and to cover
quadrants with weakened extended shields from neighboring quadrants.

Notes:
DEEP SPACE 13 is the newest deep-space station in Star Fleet, and the
product of one of the longest construction projects in recent memory.
Begun in 2415, shortly after the destruction of the original STAR CORE-
class station, it was just recently completed and opened in the Iotia
system, a stone's throw from it's original location.
DS13 is a new class of space station, the REDOUBT-class. The design,
like that of the Starbase KAPPA, is based on the Hospice-class Medical
Outpost. Unlike Starbase KAPPA which was converted from an
older station and retrofitted and enlarged to serve as a command
starbase, DS13's design is built from the ground up as a large command
starbase. While the basic specifications are identical to Starbase
KAPPA, the computer and communications systems have been entirely
redesigned and are intended, from the ground up, for control and
coordination of a military area of operations.
DS13 will act as the headquarters for the KRIMA Expeditionary Force.
With a permanent occupation capacity of 50,000, it is larger than most
Federation starbases. Only a handful of orbital stations, including the
fleet command starbases and Star Fleet Engineering Starbase ZETA, are
larger. This number represents a nearly 14-fold increase from the
previous station's size. Also, the base was refit with an internal dock
which allows the base to service up to four light cruisers or multiple
smaller ships.
DS13 has a number of free-floating space docks in orbit which have been
installed to supplement the capabilities of the base for repair and refit.
Most starships with substantial damage are repaired to the point which
they are spaceworthy and then sent to ship yards for overhaul because of
the efficiency of these yards. The nearest yard to DS13 and Iotia is in
the Epsilon Indi (Andor) system near Starbase BETA.
While is is unlikely that a full shipyard will be constructed this close
to the Gorn and Romulan borders, it is anticipated that repair and refit
capabilities of the facilities in the system will conintue to improve.
In extreme emergencies, DS13 has access to the civilian space docks in
Iotian orbit, built to service superfrieghters -- certainly large enough
to handle even the largest Star Fleet ship.
As part of its embarked craft compliment, DS13 carries the latest in
Star Fleet combat shuttles- the F-36 SPECTRE and F-47 FIRKIN models,
which bring gravity-planing technology to the small craft, making them
exponentially more maneuverable than anything Star Fleet Engineering had
previously produced. DS13 is assigned an entire wing of fighters,
totaling 96 in all, subdivided into 2 groups of 4 squadrons (12
shuttles) each. Each squadron is further divided into 3 flights of 4
shuttles apiece.
Also embarked on DS13 is the new FLEMMING-class scout, first appearing
as part of experimental USS FEARLESS' compliment. Powered by the latest
micro fusion cores and the new gravtivy-planing subligh drives, the
FLEMMING greatly increases DS13's ability to scout the surrounding areas
quickly.
