}}'''Brahms Station (AFY-01-A)''' is a [[Probert Class|''Probert''-class spacedock]] and the headquarters of [[Avalon Fleet Yards]]. Located over [[Avalon System#Avalon II|Avalon II]], this massive station is the central command and control facility for not only the yard itself but the entire Grazer Sector. This facility is the primary service point for starships that only need resupply or minor repairs, and new ships are often transferred here after their formal launch to receive their crews before departing, while ships are actually constructed or refit at the various dry docks in the vicinity.

== Namesake ==
'''Eos Station''' is a [[Watchtower Class|''Watchtower''-class]] station that is located on the Federation-Romulan border near Freecloud and adjacent to T'Met.  Currently commanded by Captain [[bfms_char:71721/|Elena Mitchell]], Eos serves as a port of call for travelers, while maintaining a Federation presence near the Romulan Free State. An 
Brahms Station is named after Dr. Leah Brahms in recognition for her work designing the engine systems for the ''Galaxy''-class explorer and ''Nebula''-class exploratory cruiser. Her engine designs revolutionized shipbuilding and laid the foundations for the engines found aboard all subsequent Starfleet ship classes. Dr. Brahms is one of the few living individuals to receive recognition through the naming of a ship or station and was present when the station was commissioned in 2383.


== History ==
==History==
Avalon Fleet Yards was founded in 2357 over Avalon II to take advantage of the wealth of dilithium and deuterium present in the Avalon System. Initially, an ''Anchorage''-class facility was deployed there to manage several dry docks. Over the decades, more and more dry docks were brought online, up to several hundred in the 2370s, when it was an important facility for shipbuilding well behind the Federation's defensive lines. Starfleet added Presidium-class stations during the war to house supplementary construction crews, but by the end of the war, it was clear that the ''Anchorage''-class facility was insufficient to provide routine maintenance support and overall command-and-control facilities for the system. In 2377, a new ''Probert''-class station was ordered. When the facility was commissioned in 2383 as Brahms Station, it was one of the first ''Probert''-class stations in the Federation.
Commissioned in the year 2293, shortly before the signing of the [[ma:Khitomer_Accords|Khitomer Accords]], the Watchtower-class Eos Station was a military outpost along the Romulan Neutral Zone. Charged with gathering intel on the Romulans, defense of the Federation borders, and keeping tabs on our Romulan neighbors, Eos Station was the best of the best. Equipped with all the latest technology of the day, Eos Station was a shining beacon for the Federation.


== Organization & Senior Staff ==
Following the [[ma:Tomed_Incident|Tomed Incident]] in 2311, the Romulan Star Empire entered a prolonged period of total isolation. In that time, politics changed, people changed, and the Federation’s needs changed. Once a part of the old guard, Eos was relegated to an overequipped, unimportant outpost along a border of the Federation that seemingly no longer mattered. Over the following decades, Eos fell into disrepair due to her low priority status. 2400 was the year that changed everything for Eos Station as the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire of Rator and de facto Romulan civil war changed the landscape once again. Revived and brought back to life, Eos Station is called upon again to serve the borders of the Federation, this time opposite Romulan space from the [https://wiki.bravofleet.com/index.php/Romulan_Free_State Romulan Free State], as well as many other unknown independent Romulan factions all vying for control.
Brahms Station is itself a major command, and would be the centerpiece of any sector it found itself in alone, with its commanding officer also serving as the sector commander. In this case, the commanding officer of Brahms Station, a senior officer between the ranks of captain and rear admiral, reports to the Commander and Deputy Commander of Avalon Fleet Yards, and it is Avalon's commander that is also the Grazer Sector Commander. Department heads aboard Brahms Station run the gamut from lieutenant commanders to captains. While an independent ''Probert''-class station would expect to have senior commanders and captains in department head roles, some of the departments on Brahms Station such as science and engineering are smaller than usual, because these functions are duplicated by roles carried out by the fleet yards staff and on other stations, which allows more junior officers to hold department head responsibilities.  
==Layout==


As of April 2401, the role of Brahms Station Commanding Officer is held by the Commander of Avalon Fleet Yards, Admiral Aubrey Seagraves, until she selects a permanent station commander in the coming months.
====Primary Hull====
{| class="wikitable"
Eos Station features a typical 23rd-century Federation design, consisting of a saucer-shaped primary hull with a central command tower and four main docking bays capable of servicing Constitution-class starships or smaller. Positioned halfway down is an external docking wheel, while the energy reactor housing and multi-spectrum array are located at the bottom of the station. The command tower houses the shuttlebays, medical center, support offices, and an impressive two deck operations center. Support facilities, crew quarters, and crew accommodations are also housed within the primary hull. Phaser arrays are evenly distributed around the station's exterior.

== Layout and Facilities ==
====Secondary Hull====
As with all [[Probert Class|''Probert''-class spacedocks]], Brahms Station is dominated by its five starship docks and has the overall mushroom shape common to most large Federation installations. These docks can handle dozens of starships each and much of the station's energy and crew resources are devoted to servicing visiting ships. Beyond this primary function, the station also has hospital-grade medical facilities, enormous subspace communications repeaters and active sensor arrays, and a potent defensive array capable of holding back an armada for days at a time.
The secondary hull of Eos Station predominantly houses cargo and maintenance facilities, along with the energy reactor and multi-spectrum array mount. Maneuvering thrusters, lifeboat ports, and weapon platforms are situated on the external hull of the secondary section.


=== Command and Control Facilities ===
===='''Terrestrial Enclosure'''====
[[File:Vanguard primary hull interior.jpg|thumb|alt=|center]]
Tucked away within the primary hull of Eos Station, the biodome (as the locals call it) is a self-contained habitat. Its lush landscape is programmed to echo Napa Valley, California on Earth, complemented by an artificial sky programmable to simulate day and night. Affectionately known as "Eden," the Terrestrial Enclosure contains a thriving meadow, a high-speed tram, an athletic field, and a small commercial and residential district, among a variety of other amenities and establishments.


The spires on the top of the station contain administrative offices for the station itself and Avalon Fleet Yards, as well as living quarters for those senior officers who do not live on the surface of Avalon II. To ensure redundancy, there are multiple facilities from which the entire station can be controlled, including a secure bunker deep within the superstructure of the station, but day-to-day operations are conducted from a two-story operations area at the base of the administrative level above the arboretum. It is from here that the commanding officer makes most command decisions. This facility has a dedicated conference area as well as an office for the duty officer.<gallery mode="packed-hover">
==Promenade==
File:StationOperations.png
The station houses a multi-level business district, Promenade.  This area is positioned just below the docking ring and contains a assortment of businesses able fulfill even of the pickiest of shoppers. Often referred to as a city within a city, the Promenade District features some of the best shopping and eating establishments in the galaxy.

=== Arboretum and Recreation Areas ===
====Club 504====
The arboretum is located in the flattened dome structure between the administrative spires and the primary docking facility. With a diameter of 2.5 kilometers, this extremely large facility rises five hundred meters with sloping walls and then uses holography to project the illusion of a full dome. There are several different biomes represented here to allow members of all species to find somewhere that makes them feel at home. Unlike older stations, the promenade rings the arboretum directly, and the bottom five levels of the arboretum's walls have various shops, restaurants, bars, lounges, consulates, art galleries, and other facilities, making it the destination for visitors and residents alike. Beneath the dome and above the docking facility are hundreds of holosuites and holodecks. The travel core passes through the center of the arboretum, though it is disguised by "mountains" which also conceal large scale life support equipment.
[[File:Gencraft image 1710272599935-1.png|thumb|alt=|left|200x200px]]


=== Docking Facilities ===
In addition to the primary docking facility, there are four subsidiary docking facilities that ring the mid level of the station.


The primary docking facility is slightly larger than the one found aboard [[Spacedock II Class|''Spacedock II''-class stations]], with four massive space doors doors to handle [[Odyssey Class|''Odyssey''-class heavy explorers]]. As with older stations, this facility has a four-armed docking tower in the center, which can handle up to eight ''Odyssey''-class ships or other large explorers at the level parallel with the bay doors, along with sixteen cruiser-sized vessels lower on those arms. There are a dozen shuttlebays in the primary docking facility, and mooring points for several dozen frigate-sized vessels in the lower portions of the vast open dome. Construction gantries can be extended out of the "floor" of the bay to handle major repairs, but these procedures are typically done at free-standing facilities elsewhere in the Avalon system. Between each of the space doors is a combination operations and shuttle bay facility. Each of these operations complexes handles flight control for one quarter of the station's zone of control, handing ships off to the secondary dock control facilities or the internal control facilities of the main dock, depending on the ship's intended berth. These facilities are identical to the primary station operations facility and can control the whole station if needed. The shuttle bays have a direct pass through into the bay.


The secondary docking facilities are each approximately the size of the bays found aboard ''Aurora''-class spacedocks, with their doors reworked to handle ships as wide as the ''Inquiry''-class exploratory cruiser. These bays can each service a dozen cruisers and twice that many smaller starships. Unlike the main bay, these facilities only have one space door. This is directly above the combination shuttlebay and operations facility, which handles local approach and internal flight control. The secondary docking facilities are connected to the main station with large transfer bridges that join to a ring around the central habitation area. The bridges each have large cargo trams that connect all the way through the station to the travel core to allow for the efficient movement of goods and equipment. The upper poles of each secondary facility have additional spires for administrative, engineering, and scientific offices, mostly devoted directly to the [[Avalon Research & Design Group|Avalon Group]] or [[Avalon Fleet Yards]].
Club 504, the nightlife destination on Eos Station, is owned and operated by the mysterious Lon Tik, a Human with a fondness for the finer things in life. This club offers an unparalleled experience for patrons from all corners of the galaxy. Nestled within the crowded confines of Eos Station, Club 504 is the premier establishment for those needing a little night life entertainment.


There are dozens of secondary shuttle bays all around the station, and runabout pads on the central ring connecting to the secondary docking facilities to ensure that small craft traffic does not interfere with larger vessels.


=== Sensor and Communications Facilities ===
Brahms Station has hundreds of communications repeaters, located amidst the towers above the five docking modules, beneath the "skirt" of the stations shield generators, and on the bottom of the station itself, which also contains a massive subspace transceiver array. This allows the station to maintain contact with the Subspace Relay Network even through profound interference, which ensures that it will always be able to stay in touch with ships, stations, and colonies in the Grazer Sector. There are large bands of active sensors that ring the station and provide extremely powerful sensor data for activities within the Avalon System and beyond.


=== Crew Accommodation and Medical Facilities ===
==== The Quantum Brew ====
The majority of crew accommodations are in the bowl-shaped structure directly under the primary docking facility. Though there is a crew of 100,000, accommodation standards are very high, with only the lowest ranking crewmen sharing quarters. Many quarters are set up to handle families, as well. There is enough bed space here to handle the station's own crew, plus fifty thousand civilian residents, and a further fifty thousand shipyard and visiting starship crew members, for a total of 200,000. This area also includes extensive medical facilities, schools, and other necessary crew support facilities.
[[File:Gencraft image 1710272487563-1.png|thumb|alt=|left|200x200px]]


The primary hospital is located near station operations, beneath the administrative spires and above the arboretum. The central infirmary at the center of the hospital is the location from which the Chief Medical Officer oversees dozens of other facilities, which include ward space for up to four thousand patients. The station's medical facilities are supplemented for acute care cases by nearby [[Phlox Medical Station]].<gallery mode="packed-hover">
File:StationQuartersFamily.png
File:Pegasus-medical.png
</gallery>


=== Engineering Facilities ===
Avalon Station is powered by eight large matter/antimatter reactors, similar in function to the warp cores that power starships, but configured to produce large amounts of plasma for the station's EPS grid rather than to power warp coils. These large reactors allow the station to withstand significant assaults and provide the power necessary to run large scale industrial replicators. Four reactors are located in large spires beneath each of the four secondary docking ports, while the other eight are located in the ring above the station's lowest module. Engineering control is also located in this ring, serving like Main Engineering aboard a starship.


The station's industrial replicators are housed just under the main docking facility, allowing whatever parts they replicate to be taken directly to a waiting starship or via tug to one of the drydocks. These facilities can produce almost anything up the size of entire nacelle casings but can't replicate certain sensitive components that require exacting quantum specifications.
Tucked away in the docking ring, The Quantum Brew is a place of warmth and comfort. The aroma of freshly roasted beans fill the air, inviting patrons to take a temporary pause from their travels. The decor is a rustic charm, with holographic displays of celestial bodies decorating the walls with traditional Bolian tapestries. The owner, a cheerful Bolian named Tuvor, is always ready with a friendly smile and a hot cup of the Nebula's Nectar, a signature blend he ''claims'' was inspired by none other than Admiral Janeway herself.
