Andromeda



Name: C1T-4-D3L
Codename: Eternity
Class: Unknown. Starfleet Engineer's have come to call it the "Eternal Class"
Total Length: 44 Kilometers
Diameter: 12 Kilometers
Population: 25,000 (As of 2289)
Total Population Capacity: Unknown. Scans unable to penetrate majority of superstructure and hull alloy. Current "Active" life support systems suggest a potential for over a million people, leaving that at a quarter capacity.

Station Eternity, officially designated C1T-4-D3L, is a vast and ancient station. Quantum dating technology while unable to give an exact age due to the extensive work done to the station by other unknown races, the most recent work done to the stations docking bay suggests it was last inhabited sometime between 45,000 and 55,000 years ago, but while one of the only places available to quantum date, the unusual alloys used to build the station make quantum dating difficult.

"First" Discovered in 2156 by the Earth Starfleet vessel "Enterprise NX-01" the station and its surrounding space was sealed off and various subspace warning stations established by the Coalition of Planets. These stations collectively generated false readings while sending out subspace warnings. These false readings gave anyone nearby the impression a dangerous and recently formed black hole was in the area.

The station was at first sealed off mainly because Coalition teams sent to investigate never returned. Their equipment never found and their ship never recovered. Thus the station remained inactive until 2250 when the Organians came fourth to the main super powers of the galaxy, The United Federation of Planets, The Klingon Empire, The Romulan Star Empire and the Tholian Assembly. The Organians had decided that peace must be established and the super powers must establish themselves as respectable role models for the younger races, The Gorn, Hydran, Lyran and Kzinti.

Part of the Project was establishing Eternity as a diplomatic centre. Lead by a Starfleet crew as the most "Civil" of the older races. The station would be headed by a Starfleet Captain whom would in turn act as the neutral balance of the "Council". This council would be comprised of an Ambassador or Representative of the Tholians, Klingons, Romulans and Federation. With the Starfleet office in the middle to act as a neutral balance to maintain peace in the council.

This council would function to settle disputes between the younger and older races back home. But also create and amend interstellar laws. The Organians gave an unusual ultimatum regarding this. These races must accept the decisions of the Council, or face elimination. But not by the Organians. By something far worse. Something the Organians did not elaborate on but rather shared limited and cryptic images into the minds of the leaders of these groups.

What they saw could not be described by words. All that could be described was the sound these images created. The sound of a thousand worlds being destroyed. The sound of countless lives eliminated in the blink of an eye. It is these images burned into the minds of the leadership of these groups that makes this mission possible.




After refurbishment and various retrofits and replacements of various systems, less than 1% of the station is currently being used. What is known is that it is split into various segments. Translations of the stations old "Automated Transit System", as its called, suggests the following areas are where the following decks and rooms are found.
