The Sim

Starbase 110 started its life as the civilian station Starfall. After the events of Frontier Day, the Federation determined that Starfall represented a strategic asset and took over its fleet operations, leaving its former commander David Rhyne, in charge of the civilian side of things.

SB110 orbits Vertarus III, a gas giant that is prone to frequent meteor showers creating a dazzling display every few hours and earning Starfall its original name. The station oversaw operations on several gas mining rigs high in the atmosphere of Vertarus III and the civilian wing of the station continues to do so. This mining operations provides significant hydrogen and helium to the Federation, which was one of the key factors in identifying the station as a key asset.

In addition to that, SB110 sits in an unusual location amid multiple systems that are difficult to access without a jumping point due to spacial anomalies and hazards. Those systems were difficult to defend and reclaim after the Borg incursion which made SB110 an essential part of the Federation's future defenses.

SB110 still sports a substantial civilian presence, including in the form of restaurants, clubs, casinos, shopping outlets, medical facilities, religious hubs, and much more. This has lead to more than one altercation with Starfleet personnel, but the Station CO and Rhyne work hard to keep the peace.
