Maelstrom Outpost and Support Facilities

Cardassian Republic Outposts and Support Facilities

Savoy Station
	Orbiting Savoy I, Savoy Station is a Federation Orbital Office Complex that was constructed as a diplomatic hub for Federation efforts in the Maelstrom and was also used for stellar research and starship support. During the Kessok Incident the station was briefly captured by the True Way, Cardassian insurrectionists, and was later recovered by a Starfleet Task Force led by the Sovereign. When the Federation abandoned the Maelstrom following the Federation Day Massacre the Cardassians reclaimed Savoy Station as a forward operations base.
Tezle Supply Depot
	Located on Tezle I, the Tezle Supply Depot was constructed by the Dominion shortly after the establishment of their alliance with the Cardassian Union to serve as a Ketracel White distribution site. At the conclusion of the Dominion War, the Tezle Supply Depot was abandoned and later recovered by operatives of Legate Matan's True Way to serve as a military command base. Starfleet forces, led by the Starship Khitomer, were able to capture the base and return it to the legitimate Cardassian government in 2378.
Vlulyr Tuok
	Located in orbit of Prendell III, Vlulyr Tuok was constructed as an Obsidian Order black ops site in the mid-24th Century and was used as an interrogation center of high priority targets during the Dominion War. At the conclusion of the Dominion War the Treaty of Bajor specified that Vlulyr Tuok be decommissioned and abandoned; however, the station was recovered by agents of the True Way and was instrumental in the Kessok Incident of 2378, but abandoned. The Cardassians later returned to Vlulyr Tuok and established it as their primary operations center in the Maelstrom.

Empty Crown Outposts and Support Facilities

Lya Station

Built in orbit of around Alberia III, Lya Station is a Federation Orbital Office Complex. During the Kessok Incident the station acted as the location of peace talks and was a frequent target of Cardassian insurrectionists, but would later serve as a key gateway for the Romulan Relocation Project. When the Federation cancelled the relocation following the Federation Day Massacre the station was transitioned to the Romulan Star Empire, but they ceded control after the destruction of Romulus. Independent as a commercial station for a time, Lya Station would later be taken by the Empty Crown - a small organization of Romulan worlds.

Independent Outposts and Support Facilities

Biranu Station
	Constructed in orbit of Osa (Biranu II), Biranu Station is a Regula Class outpost established for starship support and resupply by the United Federation of Planets. In the late 2370s Biranu Station was heavily utilized for scientific and commercial operations, but was abandoned after having been attacked by Cardassian insurrectionists. The Federation Colonial Administration would recover the station, but abandoned it again following the Federation Day Massacre. While primarily administrated by representatives of the Ferengi Alliance as a commercial outpost, Biranu Station is not aligned currently with any particular government.
Litvok Nor
	Long considered mythical, Litvok Nor was a Cardassian Nor Class outpost that had been constructed in the Maelstrom in the mid-24th Century to serve as Sector Command Base for Cardassian forces. Despite its importance, Starfleet and Klingon forces were unable to confirm its existence until 2378 when the station was towed to Alioth VI by Cardassian separatists as part of the Kessok Incident. A joint Romulan-Klingon-Federation strike force destroyed Litvok Nor and captured the Alioth system not long after with the debris of Litvok Nor remaining in orbit of the planet. Despite its damaged state, mercenaries have used portions of the station structure as makeshift supply bases.

Klingon Empire Outposts and Support Facilities

Geki Station
	Constructed in orbit of Vesuvi V, Geki Station is a Regula Class outpost that was built for starship support and resupply in cooperation with Haven Station by the United Federation of Planets. When the Kessok Solarformer was detonated in the late 2370s Geki Station was heavily damaged and abandoned by Starfleet, but was later recovered and repaired to help with investigation of the Vesuvi Dust Cloud. When the Federation abandoned the Maelstrom in 2385, Geki Station was once again abandoned and later recrewed by colonists from the Haven Colony. When Geki Station chose to remain neutral during the Federation / Klingon Conflict, the station was occupied by Klingon forces.
Haven Station
	Haven Station is a Federation Orbital Office Complex, located in orbit of Vesuvi VI, that was created to oversee terraforming operations within the Maelstrom. A small station, Haven also served as a cargo hub for all colonies within the Vesuvi System. During the Kessok Incident the station was heavily damaged, but was recovered by the Starship Dauntless. Haven would later become a key participant in the Romulan Relocation Initiative, but was heavily impacted by the Federation choosing to withdraw from the Maelstrom following the Federation Day Massacre which led Haven Colony and Haven Station to become independent. Later, both the colony and station chose to join the Klingon Empire.
QaHjaj Station
	Initially envisioned to monitor Romulan forces within the Maelstrom, QaHjaj Station is the Klingon Empire's forward operations post within the Maelstrom Sector and would be an instrumental combatant during the Federation / Klingon War of the early 25th Century. A large Ty'Gokor Series outpost, QaHjaj Station is located spaceborne deep within territory awarded to the Klingon Empire by the Treaty of Bajor at the conclusion of the Dominion War and is primarily overseen by representatives of the Klingon House of K'mpec. The station is seen as a favorable appointment for honor bound Klingons, with many great leaders having served at QaHjaj Station during the war.

United Federation of Planets Outposts and Support Facilities

Communications Relay 883
	Shortly after the Federation returned to operations within the Maelstrom it was quickly identified that the myriad of Signal Booster Probes planted by the Starship San Francisco were not capable of handling the volume of messages being sent to the remote area. Due to the urgent need of stable communications in the area the Starfleet Corps of Engineers chose to recover and refit a decommisioned Epsilon Series Outpost from the Qualor II Supply Depot for immediate activation in the region. Rechristened as Communications Relay Station 883, the station has been online and active ever since.
Deep Space 12
	Located in orbit of the New Holland colony near the Federation/Cardassian border, Deep Space 12 is the Federation command base for the Maelstrom Sector and surrounding territories. A Spacedock Series outpost and originally christened as Starbase 12, the station served with distinction during the Dominion Wars and the Kessok Incident of the 2370s; however, following the Federation Day Massacre of 2385 and the Federation's decision to focus on existing territories, the station's operations were scaled back and it was rechristened as Deep Space 12 to represent its diminished status. During the 25th Century it has grown in prominence once more, but has retained its role as a Deep Space Station.
Tau Ceti Shipyards
	Located in orbit of Tau Ceti the Tau Ceti Shipyards are a modestly sized United Federation of Planets aligned shipyard located on the outskirts of the Maelstrom Sector. Located centrally in the shipyards is Soho Station, an Orbital Office Complex that provides starship support and serves as the operations center for the Starfleet drydocks located at the Tau Ceti Shipyard.
