Berengaria Command is one of the seven sector commands under Vanguard Command. Its designated area of responsibility was the cluster of sectors surrounding the Berengarius System in the Alpha Quadrant, which is the closest Federation-controlled space to the borders of the Gamma Quadrant. Starfleet officer Rear Admiral Mackenzie Calhoun was given command of this unit, with special dispensation to represent the Federation and Starfleet in that part of interstellar space. It was organized in mid-2384 and deployed at the start of 2385 by special order of Starfleet Vanguard Command.
Composition[]
Berengaria Command was composed of the following:
- Task Force Regent - a task force of 60 starships
- An Odyssey-class Command Battleship serving as alternate flagship of the task force
- A Ronin-class Battle Cruiser serving as solitary rapid response force
- Starbase 514 - a Buckingham-class starbase, with:
- A unit of the Station Defense Task Force Division composed of 7 tactical starships
- A unit of the Station Support Task Force Division composed of 6 utility starships
- A wing of 36 Valkyrie-class advanced tactical flyers
- Berengaria Base - a vast planet-side Starfleet complex on the planet Berengaria VII protecting a colony with a combined population of 250,000 Federation and non-Federation citizens found in several inter-connected settlements scattered around the base's location, with:
- A unit of the Station Support Task Force Division composed of 2 tactical starships
- A wing of 36 Valkyrie-class advanced tactical flyers
- 3 Fort-class orbital substations, with:
- A unit of the Station Support Task Force Division composed of 3 tactical starships
- A squadron of 9 Valkyrie-class advanced tactical flyers

The orbiting Starbase 514 serves as the base of operations and port of call of the task force.
The planet-side installation of Berengaria Base serves as the resource production plant and primary research facility of the whole command, was well as major colony of the Federation. The installation is also near the site of a Federation colony, mostly composed of families or relatives of the Starfleet and Federation assigned to the command.
The three orbital substations are located several light years away from Starbase 514, at about equidistant positions to each other and to the station, orbiting class M planets or class M moons in star systems found along the edges of Federation-controlled space. They serve as the station's forward positions and are tasked as:
- Listening posts against enemy movement
- Defense outposts against unauthorized intrusions and surprise attacks along the borders
- Satellite diplomatic centers for Federation members whose territories are in close proximity to the outpost
Background[]
Administratively, Admiral Calhoun was assisted by his wife, Commodore Elizabeth Shelby, the Base Commander of Starbase 514 and Deputy Sector Commander of Berengaria Command. Commodore Shelby facilitates diplomatic decorum among ambassadors holding office in Starbase 514, ensure trade sufficiency among entrepreneurs on the station, expedites logistical adequacy of the whole command, and guarantees coordination with Starfleet Command, Vanguard Command and the Federation as a whole.
Starbase 514 continues to be an important facility for Starfleet as a vital commercial port, diplomatic hub and defensive outpost in that area of Federation space. Several hundred starships docked at the station for various reasons.
The Berengarius System is defended by the tactical support ships of Starbase 514.
The planet Berengaria VII is further protected by a network of automated self-replicating orbital weapons platforms borrowed from Cardassian technology, which were defended by regenerative force fields and equipped with three heavy phasers and 500 high-yield photon torpedoes each. The regenerative deflector shielding of these platforms protect them from return fire, rendering them nearly invulnerable. The whole network is powered by three large redundant generators, each placed in different hidden locations in the system.
In late 2384, the Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser USS Brave was modified with a quantum slipstream drive in order to lay a series of subspace relay stations along a straight line starting from Starbase 514 to the construction site of Station DSG1 in the Gamma Quadrant. It took the USS Brave four months to complete this mission.
