| | }}'''Deep Space 404''', code-named Overwatch Station, is a Federation [[Jupiter Class|''Jupiter''-class research station]] located on the extreme spinward edge of Federation space coreward of the [[Romulan Free State]] and near the [[Talvath Cluster]]. Operating under the auspices of Starfleet Stellar Cartography, this station is the control facility for the Daren Subspace Radio Telescope Array, currently being built by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers to study the Talvath Cluster. This all-Starfleet facility orbits New Java (Zeta Asteropes IIIA), an uninhabited O-class moon being considered for possible Cetacean colonization which, in turn, orbits Cyclops, a class-J gas giant with a circular eternal storm at the equator. The station’s presence, though well within Federation space, is a point of contention between the Federation and the Romulan Free State, as the Tal’Shiar believe the subspace telescope could easily be used to spy on Romulan worlds. |

|
| ==2 — Gaming Awards== | | === Overwatch Station === |
| # As defined by the Office of the Chief of Staff, there are three awards related to gaming:
| | Overwatch Station itself is a standard two-stack Jupiter-class research station equipped with sufficient habitation space for the engineers constructing the Daren Array and for the scientists studying the Talvath Cluster and the oceans of New Java. It sits just inside New Java’s unusually powerful magnetic field, which shields it from the intense radiation generated by the gas giant. This position makes it impossible to approach the station from outside the system without raised shields and it was chosen specifically to hamper the ability of cloaked Romulan vessels to reach the station. The station itself is also equipped with powerful shields, but it is not armed. Overwatch Station was towed into position in segments and came online in early 2400. |
| ## Strategic Action Ribbons, awarded for solo gaming actions.

| |
| ## Submissions for Combat Action Ribbons should only be made once per action, with one member submitting a screenshot, the BFMS IDs of the other members, and a list of which in-game handle or screen name matches each BFMS ID.

| |
| ## Groups of members may play non-supported games to earn Combat Action Ribbons, as described in Section 5.

|
| ==3 — Star Trek Online == | | === Daren Subspace Radio Telescope Array === |
| #Bravo Fleet has officially supported in-game fleets on PC (Federation and Klingon) and on XBOX (Klingon Only), which provide members with various resources and perks.
| | Construction on the Daren Subspace Radio Telescope Array (“the Daren Array”) began in 2400 and is projected to last through 2405. It is intended to collect information about the Talvath Cluster. The array is approximately 20% complete and is already beginning to collect data. Similar to the Argus Array in basic function, the Daren Array takes advantage of unique subspace properties in the Zeta Asteropes system to enhance its total overall resolution. The array is in polar stationary orbit “above” Cyclops and maintains its control linkage to Overwatch Station through a network of small satellites which keep themselves in position for line-of-sight transmissions between the two structures. The station is fully automated. |
| #Members may also earn ribbons for STO gaming in factions or on platforms where Bravo Fleet does not maintain an official presence.
| |
|
| |
|
| === 3.1 — STO Awards === | | == Zeta Asteropes System == |
| | | The Zeta Asteropes system consists of a G-type yellow star and three planets. Zeta Asteropes I and II are molten terrestrial worlds orbiting at .1 and .2 AUs respectively. Zeta Asteropes III, nicknamed Cyclops, is a large class-J gas giant with several dozen moons. The largest of these moons, Zeta Asteropes IIIA, is nicknamed New Java and is an uninhabited but life-sustaining class-O ocean world. Starfleet and the Federation are evaluating this world’s potential for colonization by Cetaceans and other aquatic species, as it is less than 1% land by area. Overwatch regularly sends away teams to the planet to collect samples and an entire saucer of the station is devoted to studying the moon. |
