'''Ta'shen''' is a world inside the territory of the former [[Romulan Star Empire]] within close proximity to the shared borders of the [[Romulan Free State]] and [[Romulan Republic]]. A resort world in the days of the [[Old Romulan Star Empire]], Ta'shen had continued in that capacity, serving as an unofficial centre for off-the-books diplomacy and deal-making thanks to a rarely granted 'free port' status, at least for the other Romulan successor states and those with enough capital to bribe their way to the surface.
 
 
 
=History=
 
''Founding? Resort world for centuries and centuries? Minor mineral extraction and agriculture are located far from the resorts to keep them supplied. Reliant on off-world imports to major technology and expansion. Slaves were brought in to run the behind the scenes stuff, fight in the coliseum, staff the less savoury destinations.''
 
 
 
=Environment=
 
The environment of Ta'shen is fairly typical of class-M worlds, though verging more towards a warmer medium than most as evident by the lack of surface ice and the generally pleasant climate found at most latitudes. This made the world, with minimal biosphere modification, a perfect place for the establishment of resorts for the rich and powerful during the era of the [[Old Romulan Star Empire]].
 
 
 
Rudimentary weather control systems moderate any potentially dramatic storms, diverting them away from the more populous resorts and the world's only major city of T'ma'ru, which plays host to the majority of the resorts and other entertainment locales as well as the governor's palace. T'ma'ru is essentially maintained in a tropical to sub-tropical climate to allow for year-round favourable weather conditions for all guests.
 
 
 
The climate elsewhere around the world is allowed to essentially run naturally. This does mean frequent large-scale cyclonic storms that lash the various landmasses. As such what farming is done on the planet tends to be done in the rain-shadows of the few mountain ranges in order to protect as best as possible from the majority of storms. Despite being carried out in areas with significantly reduced rainfall, the hydrosphere cycle of Ta'shen is very active and the 'dry' farmlands tend to still be quite hospitable to imported crops.
 
 
 
Mineral extraction sites worldwide tend to be built with the weather in mind as well, though more with a view towards enduring what weather comes versus avoiding it. The most significant mining operations are taken place on the far side of Ta'shen from T'ma'ru and prone to constant regular electrical storms and wild weather as a result of geography and local islands funnelling water and air currents.
 
 
 
=T'ma'ru=
 
''The capital city of T'ma'ru...''
 
 
 
=Factions=
 
As revolution broke out on Ta'shen, inspired by [[Sundered Wings|off-world events]], the populace of the world settled into two major groups - those willing to fight and those who just wanted things to settle down. Of the former group, multiple factions emerged, each with their own view as to the future and with a drive to see it through.
 
 
 
==Senate Loyalists==
 
When revolution broke out upon the streets of Ta'shen, Governor Creval held the gates to the palace open for as long as possible to allow the rich and powerful visitors to his world to fleet into his care. It would not be entirely accurate to call the Governor and his impromptu houseguests a true faction of post-[[Romulan Star Empire|Imperial]] Ta'shen politics, but for ease of classification they were labelled Senate Loyalists. Most of them were from prominent Imperial families visiting on holidays and cover a wide variety of political views. They all however held that the Senate was the true power of the Star Empire and most lived under the false impression that eventual order would be restored by a sensible and loyal officer overthrowing his overreaching commanding officers and restoring the Senate.
 
====Notable figures====
 
Lo'nic Creval, Governor of Ta'shen, a man who was appointed to the position by the good graces of his predecessor. His family was best-considered part of the Empire’s very small Middle Class, with no senatorial connections by blood but with plenty of favours and debts owed such that they had been rewarded by way of payment with the governorship of Ta'shen. He retained his position purely by keeping Ta'shen functional for the aristocrats of the Empire to visit and the flow of intelligence it provided regarding visitors. Lo'nic only survived the initial order to purge the Empire's ruling class from Rator due to his careful control of off-world communications, allowing him to prevent certain orders from arriving that would have been detrimental to his health.
 
 
 
==Planetary Garrison==
 
''They’re in the dark about the coup. They’ve just heard that a slave revolt in nearby systems has apparently spread beyond one world and the slaves here have got it in their fool heads to do the same. They’ve been charged with protecting the governor’s palace until relief arrives. More than enough of them to hold the palace but if they ever actually got their orders, then things could get really ugly really quick.''
 
====Notable figures====
 
''Major...''
 
 
 
==Reman slaves==
 
''They’re declaring for Resak and his provisional government. They hold no real grudges against the common Romulan people, but the aristocrats have to go. Violently. French Revolutionaries. Round up all the nobles, put them down. Then figure out what to do.''
 
=====Notable figures=====
 
''Who?''
 
 
 
==Romulan slaves==
 
''A chance to actually have a say? Awesome! Under a Reman? Yah...nah. No offence to their Reman comrades, but seriously. Democratic revolutionaries are more likely. Claim Ta’shen as independent, maybe side with the Republic if they can get support to settle things planetside.''
 
====Notable figures====
 
''Who?''
 
 
 
==Orions==
 
The Orion population of Ta'shen dates back centuries and is comprised completely of those born on Ta'shen, descendants of those taken as slaves by Romulan forces centuries ago. Knowing no other fate or even much of the galaxy at large, they have served as the backbone of the entertainment industry serving from prostitution to gladiatorial combat. With the unexpected outbreak of revolution on Ta'shen, the Orions have banded together under a singular leader, Serti, seeking freedom for themselves and everyone else who had been enslaved by the masters of Ta'shen. They seek not to rule the world but to prevent any one faction from becoming dominant, seeking a more balanced sharing of power to prevent any further enslavement.
 
====Notable figures====
 
=====Serti=====
 
A middle-aged Orion woman of handsome features and average height and build, Serti is the unofficial head of the Orion families on Ta'shen. Through the years of her servitude, born into it in fact, she manipulated her superiors until she was granted a position of authority as a manager of certain aspects of Ta'shen's entertainment industries by her masters. Specialising in the more intimate pleasures that the powerful sought when they visited Ta'shen, Serti began building her own intelligence-gathering apparatus, taking advantage of those who sought the pleasures serviced by those under her charge. This lent her even more ways to manipulate her nominal masters, though usually indirectly via those she had learned interesting information about.
 
 
 
A fierce and determined woman, she is set on the goal of Ta'shen being an Orion world, or at least not a Romulan or Reman solely controlled world, though they are welcome to stay and even visit. Pragmatism however is a key trait and she's always willing to make deals, as long as they aren't disadvantageous to her or her birth world as she is not keen to simply trade one collar for another.
 
 
 
==Miscellaneous slaves==
 
Ta'shen is also home to a sizable population of slaves from various client races of the Star Empire, though none are of recent import. While these populations have tended to group together along racial lines initial, most of them have pledged for one of the larger groups out of self-preservation or to get out from under the heel of another. Their numbers aren't enough to decisively sway the balance one way or another but could be critical when the time comes to settle affairs and establish a new order on Ta'shen.

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.

'''''Narendra''-class stations''' are a small to mid-size Federation starbase design that draws design inspiration from the likes of the far larger [[Spacedock Class|''Spacedock''-class]] stations. Designed to be assembled at manufacturing facilities within the Federation and then shipped in pieces to their final locations, the ''Narendra'' is essentially a kitset starbase designed for rapid deployment. If parts are in stock and available, a ''Narendra'' 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 ''Narendra'' 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==
 
 
 
[[File:Smolboi construction.png|right|thumb|Narendra-class under construction]]The exterior of a ''Narendra''-class is reminiscent of Starfleet's [[Spacedock Class|''Spacedock''-class]] starbases - a 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 ''Narendra''-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 enough time for reinforcements to arrive.
 
 
 
The central core of the station houses the primary computer cores as well as truck access for vital services up and down the height of the station. Primary cargo lifts are located here as well to transport materials from the cargo bays to wherever they need to go.
 
 
 
===Operations===
 
 
 
The topmost levels of the station house the Operations division, as typical simply referred to as Ops. The station's primary command and control functions can be located here as well as offices for the station command staff. Offices and facilities abound for the Starfleet personnel aboard the station to perform their duties. Of note is a large auditorium built into each station, capable of hosting a hundred officers and guests in a single sitting. While a holdover of the original ''Narendra'' design requirements, the auditorium has become standard to the class and can function as a large scale briefing room to concert hall as required.
 
 
 
===Galleria===
 
 
 
One of the larger sections of the station the Galleria functions as the core of station life and commerce. Spread over multiple levels, with terraces descending down the levels, and wrapped around the station core, no two Galleria's are the same once the stations come online. Vendors and locals alike soon discover that the modular nature of the station is more amenable to modification across the Galleria, by design, and modifications are relatively simple to engage in. Bulkheads in the shopping area can be moved and the terraces shifted with a bit more work.
 
 
 
This tends to result in a quick fashion that each Galleria becomes its own architectural marvel. Restaurants, kiosks, salons, parlours and a variety of shops can and will be found across the Galleria as local enterprises take root. Most tend to be representative of the galactic neighbour they find themselves in, with encouragement to galactic neighbours to take part in order to help build report and economic ties as well as informal diplomatic channels.
 
 
 
===Sciences===
 
 
 
Each ''Narendra'' hosts an array of research laboratories, as befitting any Starfleet starbase. While not as expansive or well equipped as larger stations, their modular nature does mean that over time they can be readjusted as local conditions may require on a more regular basis. Each station does host a sizable stellar cartography installation, combined with the station's long-range sensors and telescopes, to help map new regions and collate information from nearby starships.
 
 
 
This area of the station does contain its own communication center for coordinating scientific endeavours, backup computer cores, small lecture halls and secure storage facilities.
 
 
 
===Personnel Quarters===
 
 
 
Spread across multiple levels is the station's living quarters. Containing hundreds of single-, double-, and family-sized occupancy quarters as well as a handful of diplomatic suites. Recreation centres, game rooms, holosuites and a small selection of eateries, typically franchises from those found on the Galleria, can be located in this section of the station. Occupying a large space in the middle, wrapped around the station's support trunk, lies the station's arboretum, a full forty meters in height.
 
 
 
===Medical===
 
 
 
The medical section of the station contains facilities typically greater then more starships, but small and ill-equipped compared to larger stations. Six separate sickbays dominate this section of the station, each equivalent to a large starship, and specialising in its own field of medicine. Counselling offices, wards for a variety of species and isolation facilities accompany cutting edge, at the time of assembly, scientific labs, limited research facilities and cryogenic suspension facilities for cases that can't be resolved on-station.
 
 
 
A triage center lies in the heart of the station, with its own dedicated transporter facility and quick access to the primary sickbays. Each sickbay and the triage center all possess their own EMH, though with programming adjusted for their field of work.
 
 
 
===Cargo Operations and Hanger Deck===
 
 
 
The midline of the station is a cavernous space split into six main bays, or “wedges,” with reinforced support bulkheads dotted with pressure hatches and forcefield backups that enable any of the six wedges to be isolated from the others as needed. The internal configuration of stationary hatches and pass-throughs could allow a small craft to enter one wedge and exit out the opposite side of the station, though this is rarely encouraged in practice given the extensive traffic in and out of the station.
 
 
 
The available internal volume of the wedges contains significant space for cargo pallets and shipping containers, short-term and long-term repair bays, propellant stores, warp coil stacks, impulse engine spares, and secured armaments facilities for any armed small craft.
 
 
 
===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 ''Narendra''-class operational as well as housing backup computer cores and a hardened auxiliary command centre commonly used for damage control but capable of full station control if required.
 
 
 
===Fusion Generators===
 
 
 
Primary power generation aboard the ''Narendra''-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 allow for regular rotation in and out of service for maintenance purposes and hardware longevity. Each generation facility can be independently jettisoned from the station in an emergency.

==''Narendra''-class stations In-Play==
 
*While not the largest or most capable of stations, like the larger [[Canopus_Class|''Canopus'']] or [[Spacedock_Class|''Spacedock'']] facilities, the ''Narendra'' 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 ''Narendra'' 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 ''Narendra'' has a regular staff of a few thousand, with a capacity for the same again in regular civilian attendance. In an emergency, ''Narendra'' life support systems can accommodate 15000 people, but to call the situation cramped would be accurate.
