Deep Space Gamma Zero-One, or Station DSG1, was an Alexandria II-class deep space station in service in the 24th century. It was the first permanent Federation Starfleet facility in the Gamma Quadrant.
Location[]
Station DSG1 was located around the orbit of Abraxis IV, fourth planet of the Abraxis System, which was the site of the first Federation-Starfleet colony the Gamma Quadrant, several light years beyond the Chamra Vortex from the far end of the terminus of the Bajoran wormhole.

Vanguard Command[]
Station DSG1 was commanded by Commodore Leelah Kol, who was concurrent Deputy Sector Commander of Abraxis Command, under Vice Admiral Razal Gibran, who was Sector Commander. It serves as the headquarters of Abraxis Command, as well as the official home port and base of operations of Task Force Dauntless and all other Federation starships that may be operating in the Gamma Quadrant, providing docking and repair facilities, not only for starships under Vanguard Command, or of Starfleet, or of the Federation, but to all starships that come in peace and seek such services.

History[]
Construction of Station DSG1 began immediately after Rear Admiral Gibran was able to gain the consent of the Suzerain of the Khronnians to use the Abraxis System, particularly Abraxis IV, as first base of operations of the Federation and Starfleet in the Gamma Quadrant.
A fleet of Cargo Carriers and Transport Ships, and 4 Aerie-class support ships, protected by two Defiant-class Tactical Frigates and five Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes crossed the wormhole under the command of Commodore Kol and delivered all the needed components to build Station DSG1 and Abraxis Base as quickly as possible and the personnel to operate them. While Admiral Gibran returned to the Alpha Quadrant to prepare Task Force Dauntless for travel to the quadrant, Commodore Kol supervised the simultaneous construction of Station DSG1 and Abraxis Base.
The cargo carriers and transport ships continued to ferry components, raw material and personnel back and forth across the wormhole until construction of both orbital station and planet-side base was completed. This took a record time of six months. The Starfleet and Federation crews of the station and the base automatically took up their posts after helping to construct the two facilities.
Functions[]
Station DSG1 fulfills the following important functions:
Science research – Although most of the scientific research activities of the Federation and Starfleet were done at the New Pacifica undersea complex of Abraxis Base, most of stellar science researches were done in Station DSG1. With its numerous and advanced sensor arrays, it serves as the stellar science research laboratory center of Starfleet in the quadrant.
Diplomacy – Through its full diplomatic facilities composed of embassy suites, diplomatic housing, mediation halls, and conference rooms, it serves as the diplomatic hub of the Federation in the quadrant. As of 2385, the Alliance Diplomatic Council of the Alliance of Gamma Quadrant Planets hold office and convene on Station DSG1.
Commerce and Trade – Through the Mall, the Central Market, the Park, the Bazaar and the four Concourses, the station plays host to over 1,000 business establishments from more than a dozen different worlds.
Starship support - It provides maintenance, repair, and support for starships in the sector and beyond. With the fourteen (14) Type-1 drydocks in station keeping around it, Station DSG1 was also capable of conducting full-scale starship construction for Starfleet and the Federation in the Delta Quadrant.
Deep Space Exploration - Starfleet Command utilized the station as a platform from which to stage exploratory missions in the Gamma Quadrant.

Station Defense[]
Station DSG1 has an arsenal of 48 Type-XII rotary-mounted pulse phaser cannons, 48 Type-XII stationary-mounted phaser emitters, 12 Type-XII slide-mounted phaser emitters, and 48 torpedo launchers. The station also has a payload of 100 transphasic torpedoes, 1,500 quantum torpedoes and 3,500 high-yield photon torpedoes.
The primary weapons feature of Station DSG1 was the defense sail. The sails were placed at 30 degree intervals around the main platform’s dorsal and ventral sides and housed most of the tactical systems of the station, including Type XII phaser turrets, Type XII phaser arrays, rotary phaser cannons, torpedo launchers, and tractor beam emitters. These emplacements provided a nearly 360 degree sphere for defense, only interrupted by targets obscured at close range by the other platforms of the station.
Each sail tower was armed with two torpedo launcher tubes, two rotary-mounted phaser cannons, two stationary-mounted phaser emitters, one slide-mounted phaser turret and a tractor beam emitter.
With this firepower, Station DSG1 was a virtual floating fortress.
The station was also protected by enhanced, regenerative, redundant, reinforced, multiphasic, multispectrum, unimatrix defensive shields and ablative hull armor.
Station DSG1 was also installed with thoron shield generators that provided a seamless energy casing around the station, on the inner sides of the rings, with a separate shell around the Command Center. The thoron-based screen interfered with Station DSG1’s long-range communications and sensors, but functioned as a protective envelope far stronger than typical shields, defending against not only energy weapons and transporter beams, but also actual material objects. While it would not render DSG1 impregnable, it could allow the station to withstand some attacks better and longer than traditional shields.
Personnel complement[]
Station DSG1 has a full Starfleet complement of 3,000. 600 of whom were officers and 2,400 were enlisted. In addition, the station was inhabited by 15,000 civilians coming from the 12 Gamma Quadrant races that have joined the Alliance of Gamma Quadrant Planets.
Ship support[]
After its construction, the following support ship and auxiliary craft complement were assigned to the station:
From the Station Defense Task Force Division -
- One Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser, the USS Perseus which serves as the personal flagship of the Base Commander and Sector Commander when needed.
- Two Defiant-class Tactical Frigates
- Four Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes
- 36 Valkyrie-class advanced tactical flyers (4 squadrons)

From the Station Support Task Force Division -
- One Olympic-class Medical Cruiser, the USS Phloxx-tunnai-oortann
- One Parliament-class Utility Cruiser, the USS Rakantha
- One California-class Utility Support Cruiser
- One Wallenberg-class Transport
- Two Nova-class Survey Frigates

When operating as a task force, this complement was collectively commanded by the station's Deputy Base Commander, Rukash th’Sarab.
Auxiliary craft complement[]
Station DSG1 also has an auxiliary craft complement of:
- Six Venture-class scout ships
- Six Yellowstone-class runabouts
- Six Flyer-class heavy shuttlecrafts
- Six Type-11 medium shuttlecrafts
- Six Type-11 light shuttlecrafts
- Four Admiral's Yacht for the assigned flag officers of Abraxis Command
If needed, the auxiliary craft complement, with their respective weapons systems, which were substantial in their own right, could be refitted for combat to carry more firepower and provide additional defense.
Rapid Reaction Force[]
Station DSG1 was also the home port of two starships that were attached to the Rapid Reaction Force. These are:
- The Korolev-class Heavy Cruiser USS Rob Roy
- The Nova-class Tactical Frigate USS Pulsar
- The Diligent-class Tactical Frigate USS Samagar.
While the ships of Task Force Dauntless were focused more on exploration, and its Wolf Pack on fleet defense, the ships of the ships of the RRF were more focused on rapid response, second contact, and special missions.
The USS Rob Roy, the USS Pulsar and the USS Samagar have designated docking ports on the station in Docking Hub 1, the Starfleet docking area, which doubles as their designated berths when not on mission.

Alternate flagship[]
Station DSG1 was the home port of the alternate flagship of Task Force Dauntless, the Odyssey-class Command Battleship USS Implacable. It was the primary rapid response force, or mission specialist, of Task Force Dauntless.

On some occasions, the USS Implacable would team up with the USS Rob Roy, the USS Pulsar, and the USS Samagar on high profile missions.
