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. Starbase OMEGA has 24 sectors approximately 1200m 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.

This gives the station the distinctive look not generally seen in modern station construction, that of a number of rings of modules arranged around a hollow core. Fundamentally, the station is a cyliner of 722.8m radius, with two smaller sections, one on each end, and a larger section of 1470m radius for 1830.8m located 963.6m in from the front end of the station. Shuttle docks run down the core of the station from C&C to about half-way through the business section. The ship docks are divided into Star Fleet (military) and Civilian sections by bulkheads and the sections have separate external space doors for access. The foremost ring houses Star Fleet command and control facilities. At its centre are a series of docking bays capable of handling very small starships, but primarily intended to service shuttlecraft. These bays and the cargo handling areas associated with them extent aft into the second ring which houses the Star Fleet offices and crew accommodations for both Navy and Marine personnel aboard the station. This area originally had accommodations for some 1500 individuals. It has now been expanded by adding living areas aft of the secondary ring and forward of the tertiary ring to house an additional 7500 beings at maximum occupancy. Encircling part of the original docking bays and the cargo bay, is the huge main docking ring. This linked series of six docking bays will, when completed, allow the starbase to internally accommodate up to six SOLAR-class battlecruisers or a large numbers of smaller starships. This has greatly increase the station's ability to repair and refit starships, tasks that are almost impossible without these bays. The tertiary ring is the location of the first public facilities on the station. This area houses the business sector, often referred to as the "Promenade." Operations of all sorts have grown up recently in the wake of the rapid increase in trade. Almost any legally available commodity or service can be bought in this section. Many civilian living spaces are located in this sector. The core of this section houses machine ships, about one third of which have remained zero- or low-gravity work areas be cause of the benefits of those environments to certain construction activities. Aft of the tertiary ring, a new ring is being constructed to house ambassadorial delegations from various neighbouring races in a special section separate from the main civilian housing. This should aid the job of station security considerably. Beyond the ambassadorial ring is located the largest ring of the station, and site of heavy construction to expand it to keep up with the expanding needs of the station, the hydroponics garden ring. This ring not only provides a necessary reprieve from t he grey walls of the station in a system with no class-M worlds, but also provides for both the growing of fresh food and the replenishment of the station's atmosphere for oxygen/nitrogen breathers. Aft of the hydroponics bays are the last two sections of the station, carefully isolated from one another and from the rest of the station. These are the alternate atmosphere living facilities and the engineering sections. The former providing housing to the many alien life forms not indigenous to an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere and the latter providing the bulk of station power. With the advent of artificial gravity generators on the station, the engineering sections were immediately connected via a long, limited access corridor to the command sections. These corridors house a number of turbolifts and access both engineering and , though separate lifts, a new brig section built forward of engineering in an effort to make the brig more secure by isolating it from most other sections with habitable environment. Also, the docking bays are stationary even though the rest of the station rotates. Gravity generatos are used only to balance the gravity on all decks to 1 Earth-standard gravity as opposed to the 0.7-1.1 variation due to rotation. Most quarters are located in the 0.9-1.1 g section so that minimal disruption is created if the gravity generators go offline. The Starbase Omega Story: For the first twenty years of its existence, Starbase Omega had been a footnote in the log of vessels and stations. Almost no-one had heard of Deep Space Station 239 and those that did regretted the poor luck of their assignment to it. Now, all that had changed. With the discovery of the Dalriada, a race of humans native to this region of space, and the growing trade coming through the base from all across the sector, Starbase Deep Space 239 had taken on new life and new significance. With the coming of Indigo Fleet command and the massive expansion of the base's meagre facilities to serve as a fleet command starbase, what had once been a post for exiled miscreants and troublemakers, was now one of the most desirable postings in the Federation. Alien residents were flocking to the new opportunities presented by the island of neutrality that was Starbase Omega. Already, nearly forty of the fifty-odd thousand beings on the station were not Federation citizens. The station's internal volume would more than triple in the next year with the rapid construction efforts, large docking bays capable of handling Federation cruisers would also be added. That meant that the population of a base once manned by less than two thousand would reach almost two hundred thousand over a period of only eighteen months.
