'''Candera Prime''' is an M class planet near the [[Azure Nebula]] and the [[Romulan]] border. While the planet is habitable, and in the M class range, the [[United Federation of Planets]] deemed it too unsuitable for a colony world due to it's rocky and mountainous terrain and low percentage of surface water coverage.
  
To navigate this guide, scroll down to the area you're interested in, and it will list the positions available in each Division, Department, and Section. As you gain access to new tiers, you can choose to promote your existing characters or create a new character. You do not need to stay in the same department/section/division, either. Note: the rank guidelines are not precisely even within each tier across all of the possible position types, to account for some slight variation based on the nature of the particular position.

That did not stop the [[Federation Science Division]] from establishing several research outposts on the surface to monitor the natural development of the planet, local spacial phenomenon, and other items that were unique to the region. Over the last several years, the most substantial research on the planet has come from [[Devol Outpost]] on the northern continent, after they acquired a Borg relic.  
  
For more information on all of these positions, checkout the [[:Category:Starfleet Onboard Departments|Starfleet Onboard Departments]] category.

=History=
 +
Flagged for colonization in 2261, Candera Prime quickly went from hopeful colony to hopeless effort to booming research planet in very rapid succession. Once it was deemed unfit for general civilian colonization, the Federation Science Division laid claim to the surface, hoping to use it to research nearby galactic phenomenon. The planet has been heavily developed for scientific research, but full colonization remains a distant dream.
 +
===Founding===
 +
Candera Prime was originally flagged for evaluation in 2261, but it was not until 2289 that the Federation teams actually set foot on the planet. Orbiting in the habitable ring of a Yellow Giant, the planet had the perfect temperate atmosphere and long range scans indicated it would be an excellent place for a colony. That all changed once the teams made it to the surface.  
  
== Command Division ==
+
It became clear that the planet had undergone substantial seismic activity during it's formation. While the mantle of the planet had stabilized and seismic activity had reduced to a very rare occurrence, it had left the surface of the planet jagged and rocky. The level of effort to colonize on the planet would have been far higher than the yield of living there. The Federation was about to mark the planet off entirely when the Sciences Division stepped up with plans to build secure research facilities on the surface.  
Starbase Bravo's commanding officer is currently Vice Admiral Thomas Belvedere, dual-hatted as the sector commander for the Mellstoxx Sector, overseeing all general Starfleet operations in the sector not tied directly to the Fourth Fleet. He is assisted by Captain Javier Reyes, the Executive Officer. While Starbase Bravo hosts the Fourth Fleet's senior command staff, they do not generally interfere directly in station operations except in times of immediate crisis requiring the response of the fleet itself.  
 
=== Flight Control Department ===
 
The Flight Control Section is responsible both for guiding starships into their berths and small craft launch and recovery procedures, as well as for piloting the station's assigned small craft. These command division officers are numerous, as the station has hundreds of small craft and coordinates thousands of dockings every single day.

Over the next hundred years, that's exactly what happened. Candera Prime is now dotted with over sixty research facilities, and even has a capital city built around the original research station. While the planet is still not fit for general colonization and only boasts a population of 32,455, it has proven to be a unique source of inspiration for researchers and dreamers alike.

===A Piece of Horror===
|
+
In 2394, Doctor Shrini Pavel of Devol Outpost encountered a trader that was in possession of a massive chunk of a [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg_cube Borg Cube]. After a great deal of negotiation, the good Doctor acquired the chunk for an amount that was oddly lost from the record of the exchange. The piece of Cube has been kept in Secured Storage within Devol Outpost since that time, undergoing extensive research and experimentation.

=== Administration Department ===
+
Since the Cube has arrived, the researchers and scientists in the Outpost have claimed that there's been odd disturbances and that sometimes they hear unfamiliar noises in the hallways. There's been no evidence to suggest that any of that is true, but the relic has definitely left people on edge.
The Administration Department encompasses a wide variety of officers and specialists who make sure the paperwork necessary for keeping such a large base running is handled efficiently. This ranges from helping with crew transfers and the administration of records, to providing one-on-one support for officers in other departments and the station's command staff through the yeomanry section.

In spite of misgivings and worries around the safety of the Borg cube chunk, the research into it has provided incredible advances in warp field mechanics, shield harmonics, and other technologies. Findings from the advanced systems and regeneration chambers of the Cube have even worked their way into modern computer and medical technology. The relic has provided an incredible amount of technological understanding and advancement.

Candera Prime has an arctic environment at the poles that quickly shifts to temperate for the majority of the rest of the planet. Candera City and most of the Outposts across the planet's surface see temperatures between 10°C and 32°C with the changing of the seasons. The atmosphere is easily breathable by humans and the gravity is slightly higher than Earth's.
  
Commissioner for Earth

The planet is mostly rocky and mountainous with the majority of the oxygen in the atmosphere being generated by moss and lichen across the planet. In the few places where trees and ground foliage do grow, they are generally short and sturdy. Some of these areas have been converted to farmland over the years, but only in small segments. The majority of the people on the planet rely upon hydroponic gardens in Candera City for their food.

The planet has no deserts to speak of, and the ocean coverage accounts for only 32% of the surface. There is some geological evidence that indicates that this planet did have desert terrain at one point in the past, but due to shifts in the poles over the millennia, that is no longer the case. There is also evidence that the oceans on the surface used to cover much more of the planet, and recent data indicates that the oceans may increase in size once again.

Nova Outpost was the first research outpost established on Candera Prime in 2296. In the following one-hundred and five years, the Outpost was expanded and enhanced and eventually renamed to Candera City, and declared an actual city. It became the official capital of Candera Prime and is now home to over 15,000 researchers and civilians.

=====Notable figures=====
As a major defensive installation, Starbase Bravo hosts a permanent starfighter division of 64 craft, split across 2 groups, and 8 squadrons. Starfleet frequently assigns pilots to this division for training in formation maneuvers and to gain piloting hours. Some pilots split their time between fighter duties and general small craft responsibilities. This is an officer-only division. Though a division, it reports under normal circumstances through the Chief Strategic Operations Officer, rather than directly to the First Officer.

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
    — Isaac Asimov

Candera Prime is an M class planet near the Azure Nebula and the Romulan border. While the planet is habitable, and in the M class range, the United Federation of Planets deemed it too unsuitable for a colony world due to it's rocky and mountainous terrain and low percentage of surface water coverage.

That did not stop the Federation Science Division from establishing several research outposts on the surface to monitor the natural development of the planet, local spacial phenomenon, and other items that were unique to the region. Over the last several years, the most substantial research on the planet has come from Devol Outpost on the northern continent, after they acquired a Borg relic.

History

Flagged for colonization in 2261, Candera Prime quickly went from hopeful colony to hopeless effort to booming research planet in very rapid succession. Once it was deemed unfit for general civilian colonization, the Federation Science Division laid claim to the surface, hoping to use it to research nearby galactic phenomenon. The planet has been heavily developed for scientific research, but full colonization remains a distant dream.

Founding

Candera Prime was originally flagged for evaluation in 2261, but it was not until 2289 that the Federation teams actually set foot on the planet. Orbiting in the habitable ring of a Yellow Giant, the planet had the perfect temperate atmosphere and long range scans indicated it would be an excellent place for a colony. That all changed once the teams made it to the surface.

It became clear that the planet had undergone substantial seismic activity during it's formation. While the mantle of the planet had stabilized and seismic activity had reduced to a very rare occurrence, it had left the surface of the planet jagged and rocky. The level of effort to colonize on the planet would have been far higher than the yield of living there. The Federation was about to mark the planet off entirely when the Sciences Division stepped up with plans to build secure research facilities on the surface.

Over the next hundred years, that's exactly what happened. Candera Prime is now dotted with over sixty research facilities, and even has a capital city built around the original research station. While the planet is still not fit for general colonization and only boasts a population of 32,455, it has proven to be a unique source of inspiration for researchers and dreamers alike.

A Piece of Horror

In 2394, Doctor Shrini Pavel of Devol Outpost encountered a trader that was in possession of a massive chunk of a Borg Cube. After a great deal of negotiation, the good Doctor acquired the chunk for an amount that was oddly lost from the record of the exchange. The piece of Cube has been kept in Secured Storage within Devol Outpost since that time, undergoing extensive research and experimentation.

Since the Cube has arrived, the researchers and scientists in the Outpost have claimed that there's been odd disturbances and that sometimes they hear unfamiliar noises in the hallways. There's been no evidence to suggest that any of that is true, but the relic has definitely left people on edge.

Dangerous Development

In spite of misgivings and worries around the safety of the Borg cube chunk, the research into it has provided incredible advances in warp field mechanics, shield harmonics, and other technologies. Findings from the advanced systems and regeneration chambers of the Cube have even worked their way into modern computer and medical technology. The relic has provided an incredible amount of technological understanding and advancement.

Environment

Candera Prime has an arctic environment at the poles that quickly shifts to temperate for the majority of the rest of the planet. Candera City and most of the Outposts across the planet's surface see temperatures between 10°C and 32°C with the changing of the seasons. The atmosphere is easily breathable by humans and the gravity is slightly higher than Earth's.

The planet is mostly rocky and mountainous with the majority of the oxygen in the atmosphere being generated by moss and lichen across the planet. In the few places where trees and ground foliage do grow, they are generally short and sturdy. Some of these areas have been converted to farmland over the years, but only in small segments. The majority of the people on the planet rely upon hydroponic gardens in Candera City for their food.

The planet has no deserts to speak of, and the ocean coverage accounts for only 32% of the surface. There is some geological evidence that indicates that this planet did have desert terrain at one point in the past, but due to shifts in the poles over the millennia, that is no longer the case. There is also evidence that the oceans on the surface used to cover much more of the planet, and recent data indicates that the oceans may increase in size once again.

Notable Locations

Candera City

Nova Outpost was the first research outpost established on Candera Prime in 2296. In the following one-hundred and five years, the Outpost was expanded and enhanced and eventually renamed to Candera City, and declared an actual city. It became the official capital of Candera Prime and is now home to over 15,000 researchers and civilians.

Candera City has a spaceport, civilian district complete with restaurants, entertainment, retail, and residential provisions, a massive research facility and a small Federation Embassy. Despite it's small populace, Candera City can easily stand on it's own when it comes to resources and amenities.

Devol Outpost

Founded in 2377, Devol Outpost is one of the newer outposts on the surface. The Outpost is currently run by Doctor Shrini Pavel and has been pushing some incredible advances to current technology since acquiring a large chunk of Borg cube several years ago. Devol Outpost is highly regarded in Federation Science circles, and Shrini is somewhat of a celebrity because of it.

Notable Groups

Federation Science Division

The FSD is a subset of the Federation that focuses in research and development and scientific advancement. They are separate from Starfleet Science and focus on civilian run projects and planet-based research and development. They have many outposts around the galaxy, but Candera Prime remains there most prized planetary jewel.

Notable figures

Doctor Shrini Pavel
Shrini Pavel is a renowned scientist, known for his contributions to Robotics and Positronic Computing. He has been working at Devol Outpost since it's founding and has acted as the lead researcher for the last ten years. Since the acquisition of the Borg relic, he's been influential in several scientific advancements related to their research of its design. He is an avid proponent of scientific advancement through any means necessary.

Shrini is 56 years old, with a dark complexion and wispy white hair. He is shorter than average, but not by much, and walks with a cane. He has a fiery personality when he is driven about a topic and has been described as stubborn on more than one occasion.

Omega Research and Development

OR&D is a civilian research and development organization specializing in medical and genetic research. The researchers there have been focused on the unique lifeforms that have developed on the surface of the planet. Recently, they've become more reserved in the data they've been sharing. The Federation Science Division has tried to force them to reveal what they're working on, but so far have not had any luck.
