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.  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.

Notes:

With the need to build a power core on site, the modules were originally
not equipped with artificial gravity generators, gravity being provided by
spinning the station as in very early space station constructions efforts
in the Sol System and many other systems throughout the Federation
centuries ago. 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.  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. 

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.

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.

Starbase ALIGHIERI was first modified from the base design by the addition
of a communications relay in the central core of the station.  This relay
was intended to allow high-power subspace signals to be sent back towards
the center of the Federation.  Because of the very high power signal
boost, nearly a month could be cut off transmission time, making
communication in five months rather than six possible.  With the greater
use of dimensional-warp courier ships which cut message relay time to a
mere 7 days, the system was still used until recently as a communications
relay along the frontier.

A ring of docking pylons was later added to the station as it served as a
repair and refit facility for ships operating on the frontier.

When emphasis shifted from DS-230 to DS-239 because of the latter's more
extensive use as a trading facility, staffing levels on DS-230 were
reduced.  When INDIGO Fleet was assigned to the frontier, DS-239 was
chosen to become Starbase OMEGA and was extensively refitted.  DS-230 fell
into disuse and staff was reduced to minimal levels.  When the Dante
System activities heated up, the base was towed into the system to act as
a command post for the Dante Expeditionary Force.
