Space Station 4

Space Station 4 was a Starbase in service to Starfleet in the mid to late 23rd century. The Starbase completed construction in 2250 and was placed in orbit around the Ceti Gamma System. The Station purpose was to be used as a stopping off point for travelling ships to re-supply and for its crew to relax.

=History=

In 2276 Space Station 4 granted permission for both the USS Copernicus (NCC-69897) and the USS Discovery (NCC-74749) to dock at it so both vessels could re-supply and their crews to relax. But before any crew beamed onto the Station its Main Power Generators began to overload and then exploded destroying the station and the crew working on it. The huge explosion hit the Copernicus as it was the closest ship to the station it didn’t have much time to react. The explosion tore the ship apart, which then exploded itself killing everyone onboard the Copernicus. The USS Discovery managed to get away from the explosion but was hit by the shockwave that severely crippled the ship but luckily nobody on the Discovery was killed. The Discovery investigated what made the Space Station explode killing everyone on the Station and destroying the Copernicus. They found out that it was a Jeloran Computer Virus that made the Space Station’s generators overload but was infact transmitted by the Folians to try and begin a full scale war between the Federation and the Jelorans.
