Testing space for a lot of weird shit. Examples of most infoboxes are commented out in the source for this page. Look at your own peril. Also, Starbase Kickass and its associated shenanigans are Totally Canon. All events are real and undocumented as no one wants to admit they exist.
Smolboi-class stations are small to mid-size Federation starbase design that draws design inspiration from the likes of the far larger Spacedock Class stations. Designed to be assembled at manufacturing facilities within the Federation and then shipped in pieces to their final locations, the Smolboi is essentially a kitset starbase designed for rapid deployment. If parts are in stock and available, a Smolboi can be brought online in a new location in a matter of months, versus the years or decade it may take for a larger facility.
The intention was for a class of starbase to support Federation and Starfleet interests at a minimal cost in border sectors while not appearing as an escalation of assets to Federation neighbours who may take umbrage with a larger, more capable and fortified starbase.
Not without their teething issues upon initial activation, each Smolboi station has contributed to the success of the next station. Upgrades for the first generation are being considered, though this too is likely in the form of kitset compartments being deployed to expedite the work on site.
Layout
The exterior of a Smolboi-class is reminiscent of Starfleet's Spacedock Class starbases - giant mushroom in space. The dorsal and ventral aspects of the station house large antenna farms, allowing the station to act as a regional communications relay and repeater as required. Dedicated shield generators protect the antenna farms from focused attacks.Designed for forward deployment, the Smolboi-class carries a wide variety of defensive screens and weaponry. The surface of the station is dotted with phaser array strips, torpedo launchers and older phaser banks in certain locations to provide focused firepower to dissuade attacks along prescribed vectors.
Due to the size of the station, it is not intended or expected to hold off a dedicated attack, but to dissuade raids and rapid strikes as well as buy time enough for reinforcements to arrive.

Engineering Complex
The Engineering Complex is located below the midpoint of the station and above the fusion generators. Engineering comprises four large levels and is interconnected via turbolifts, jefferies tubes and humble ladders as required. Engineering contains all the essential services for keeping a Smolboi-class operational as well as housing backup computer cores and a hardened auxiliary command center commonly used for damage control but capable of full station control if required.
Fusion Generators
Primary power generation aboard the Smolboi-class is achieved by three massive fusion generators located at the bottom of the station. Each generator plant contains four linked fusion reactors that collectively distribute plasma throughout the station. Two of the generator plants are enough to meet the station's power demands which allows for regular rotation in and out of service of maintenance purposes and hardware longevity. Each generation facility can be independently jettisoned from the station in an emergency.

Smolboi-class stations In-Play
- While not the largest or most capable of stations, like the larger Canopus or Spacedock facilities, the Smolboi are a comfortable forward deployment designed to support the Federation's interest while not posing as a serious concern to the Federation's neighbours. More than adequate at defending themselves from local raiders or pirates, a serious threat to a Smolboi would best be answered with a fleet garrison until local tensions deescalate.
- They serve as important border hubs for travel and commerce as well as providing essential services to outbound Starfleet vessels. While capable of providing servicing to Starfleet ships, outside of general maintenance it can best be described as sufficient to return to a more capable facility for proper repairs.
- Smaller than the Canopus facilities, a Smolboi has a regular staff of a few thousand, with a capacity for the same again in regular civilian attendance. In an emergency, Smolboi life support systems can accommodate 15000 people, but to call the situation cramped would be accurate.
