The Atlantis Supernova is a Type 1a supernova in the [[Delta Quadrant]] induced artificially by the [[USS_Atlantis_(NCC-81424)|USS ''Atlantis'']] in 2399 in order to prevent the [[Borg Collective]] from gaining access to a subspace flexure that could have been used to form a stable wormhole and gain access to the Alpha Quadrant.
 
  
==Background==
+
== Spacedocks ==
 +
While originally there was only one Spacedock, ''Earth Spacedock'', others were built around the Federation and became the Spacedock-class. This is now a category of station entirely, which refers to the very largest space stations built by the Federation, all of which contain a massive hanger for servicing multiple starships at the same time internally. These massive stations serve as starship construction and repair facilities, orbital habitats, scientific research bases, major defensive installations, and command and control hubs for large areas of space. Typically, they have a crew of tens of thousands, with the capacity to house fifty to a hundred-thousand civilian residents.
  
In mid-2399 the USS ''Atlantis'' detected the formation of a subspace flexure in star system VOY-2374-4367, a star system only catalogued by the USS ''Voyager'' when it passed through on its way home. The star system was previously composed of an orange giant (O9II) and a sub-Chandrasekhar limit white dwarf (DO). However at the same time that the flexure was detected, ''Atlantis''' sensors also detected a Borg vessel heading for the same system as well, likely drawn to the flexure and strategic possibilities it offered.
 
  
Being so young, theory offered the possibility that this was as yet a single expression flexure which could be influenced in its secondary expression and thereby possibly aimed, by as yet hereto unknown methods. With Borg interest, however, it was assumed they likely could influence the secondary expressions and possibly build a wormhole allowing for rapid access to other parts of the galaxy including the Alpha Quadrant. To this end, the ''Atlantis'' crew were ordered by Captain Theodoras to come up with some sort of method for destroying the flexure.

Using the Krek Technique, developed by Ensign Goresh Krek aboard ship, the USS ''Atlantis'' was able to induce a Type 1a supernova within the white dwarf, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the subspace flexure as well as a recently arrived Borg vessel.

The system's orange giant has survived the explosion but with a large amount of its atmosphere blown off. The luminosity of the system will need to dim before analysis can be conducted to reclassify the star in its new spectral class.

* These are the largest stations in service. Even the ''Aurora''-class which is roughly a third the size of a ''Guardian''-class station is capable of holding dozens of starships at a time and a massive crew. These bases are located in key areas around the Federation, serving as anchors for entire sectors, and sometimes multiple sectors. It would be extremely difficult to assault one of these bases, as they have some of the most powerful shielding of any space vehicle, fixed or otherwise.
 +
* Spacedocks are not available for member-run fictions, but there are several such bases associated with the Fourth Fleet, however: [[Starbase 72]], [[Starbase 86]], [[Starbase 38]], and [[Starbase Bravo]], which you can use in your own stories.

== Major Space Stations ==
 +
Major space stations are large installations suitable as stand-alone starbases, the centerpieces of fleet yards, or as the orbital component of major planetary facilities. Stations in this category are generalists, serving as important defensive, production, scientific, and diplomatic hubs throughout the Federation. What distinguishes them from spacedocks is their much lower capacity for servicing starships—while several of these classes do have small bays capable of holding frigates, they do not feature the large internal hanger that is the hallmark of all spacedocks.
  
The Krek Technique is the method developed by Ensign Goresh Krek to induce a supernova in the white dwarf element of VOY-2374-4367. Utilising gravimetric charges in the 80 isoton range, as well as the USS ''Atlantis''' main deflector, electron degeneracy pressure was able to be overcome in local instances, resulting in a rapid chain reaction, followed by further gravitational collapse of the star and the start of the Type 1a supernova process.
 
  
At a minimum, the Krek Technique will require 4 large scale gravimetric charges, though refinement of this technique may allow for charges smaller than 80 isotons. Placement of the charges on the far side of the star from the participating starship is required, as is computer-assisted timing for the sequence of events.

Following the detonation of the charges an induced gravimetric wave will 'shake' the star. Timed correctly, an anti-graviton pulse from a starship can push back on the star, resulting in local overpressure events allowing for electron degeneracy pressures to be overcome. While this isn't taking place in the stellar core, it will rapidly create a gravitational incline within the star, pulling in more stellar matter and collapsing more matter across the ED limit.
+
== Mid-Range Stations ==
 +
Mid-range stations are smaller than major stations but are still multi-purpose facilities. They can be used in many different ways, ranging from being independent outposts or starbases in minor sectors to being components of larger facilities. They are the most numerous category of station currently in service, forming the backbone of Starfleet's fixed assets.

As material collapses in on the new core, carbon fusion will initiate with the increase in gravitational pressure. With a large amount of energy suddenly being flash released, stellar detonation is inevitable. As with all Type 1a supernovas, no remnant core is left behind.

This technique only works with white dwarfs that are marginally off the Chandrasekhar limit naturally. As supernovas are a stellar level event, at this time no tactical or strategic benefit is seen from this technique as foes can simply ignore white swarf systems. This technique remains a stellar engineering curiosity and it is the opinion of the Federation Astronomical Committee that any further study or refinement remain purely simulation-based for now.

All sensor readings and information regarding the subspace flexure detected in star system VOY-2374-4367 were artificially generated by Captain Theodoras in order to hide the detection of the Omega phenomena within the system. Unknown mechanisms were responsible for Omega molecule genesis and the last recorded total before stellar detonation was 37 molecules. Molecule generation had been increasing and projections from ''Atlantis''' dataset indicate that in the order of thousands could have been generated within a month on an exponential curve.
 
  
Instabilities and the possibility of molecular detonation or collapse would have risen as well and likely resulted in subspace destruction for five thousand light-years, according to the latest simulation models.
