'''Task Force 17''' conducts deep space exploratory and diplomatic missions far beyond [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] borders from its headquarters on the edge of charted space, [[Deep Space 17]]. As the main exploratory arm of the Fourth Fleet, Task Force 17 has ships deployed in such distant corners of the galaxy as the [[:Category:Delta Quadrant|Delta]] and [[:Category:Gamma Quadrant|Gamma]] Quadrants. These crews are specialists in long-term operations with little support from [[Starfleet]] infrastructure.


The '''''Copernicus''-class station''' is an outpost designed by [[Starfleet]] for deployment along the [[Federation|Federation's]] frontiers. With a configurable design, the ''Copernicus'' is capable of serving a variety of roles depending on the area and Starfleet's needs. As such, it can provide an effective platform for scientific research and exploration missions beyond Federation borders, or support and facilitate local diplomacy and commerce, or act as a defensive outpost in regions expecting only mid-level hostilities, depending on its deployment configuration. A relatively modern design, it is a fairly common sight on less-fortified borders.
==Objectives==


==Mission Parameters==
* '''Manage''' the operations of Federation ships far from local space, as well as those isolated in the Delta and Gamma Quadrants.
''Copernicus''-class stations are built with six configurable modules, which allow each starbase to be constructed with capabilities and facilities to support the needs of its deployment. While there are many modules of different types, some being exceptionally mission-specific, Starfleet usually builds the ''Copernicus'' to fit one of the following mission profiles: research facility, trade and diplomatic outpost, or border patrol hub.
*'''Explore''' deep space beyond Federation territory in the four quadrants.
*'''Establish''' peaceful relations with native species.
*'''Expand''' Federation interests in deep space, including securing friendly trade routes and exchanging in scientific knowledge with other peaceful nations.


===Research Facility===
==Overview==
A ''Copernicus'' contains basic scientific facilities in its main hull, but with the modules can boast extensive research and laboratory space. These stations are usually built near regions of unexplored space or stellar phenomena where Starfleet expects years of possible study. With the modules, the laboratories available can be hyper-specialised to support whatever research priority the station needs to meet. It is also not uncommon for at least one module to be a dedicated auxiliary craft bay, able to support additional runabouts or shuttles if the station expects to perform more survey work. These are often some of the loneliest assignments on a ''Copernicus'', the station more likely to be built on quieter frontiers far from busy Federation territory, as they are hardy and support themselves and their mission well. Starships may visit en route to the regions the starbase is studying, but with the ''Copernicus'''s limited capacity to support the larger vessels of exploration, these stop-offs are usually for brief shore leave or to exchange research data. This gives these stations a focused, collegial atmosphere, with a large crew of dedicated science officers.
'''To boldly go where no one has gone before''.' These legendary words have long been repeated and paraphrased by successive generations of explorers and scientists seeking to fulfil one of the core mandates of the Federation Starfleet’s philosophy, and are etched into the minds of every Starfleet cadet and many Federation citizens. In a time preceded by great galactic strife and conflict, Task Force 17 of the [[Fourth Fleet]] seeks to embody those principles once more, as Starfleet recovers from the atrocities and existential threats posed by the Dominion War and the attack on Mars, to once again rediscover its sense of wonderment and exploration, and return to exploring the final frontier.


===Trade and Diplomatic Outpost===
Armed with the same ethos and mandate that guided the historic ''Constitution''-class vessels and their five-year missions of the twenty-third century, Task Force 17 is committed to exploring the farthest reaches of deep space. With unprecedented access to both the Gamma and Delta Quadrants, Starfleet vessels return to not simply protect citizens and defend against ideological threats, but to seeking out new life and new civilisations, in whatever form they may be and wherever they may reside. To this end, Task Force 17 has dispatched a number of starships, manned by intrepid Starfleet officers from across the Federation and beyond, to make this foray into the unknown.
On busy but reasonably safe borders or transport routes, a ''Copernicus'' makes an excellent choice for a Starfleet outpost. Traffic needs tend to dictate the suitability of a ''Copernicus''-class on such trade routes, as the station cannot easily support larger ships or a massive volume of docking ships, unlike the [[Canopus Class|''Canopus''-class]] or larger. But on trade routes traversed by mostly mid-sized vessels, a ''Copernicus'' can provide a useful commercial hub or border checkpoint. This is often the configuration of a ''Copernicus'' expected to provide local diplomatic services, internal or external. In regions with multiple Federation members of vying needs and interests, the station can provide a hub where Starfleet can facilitate discussion, both as mediators and by offering facilities. This configuration of station is also a good choice on borders with friendly, or at least communicative, local powers, where a significant portion of Starfleet's responsibility is to liaise with their counterparts across the border on matters of law enforcement, research, and so forth. It has facilities to welcome even high-ranking diplomatic representatives, and host everyday meetings and important negotiations including multiple delegates alike. The modules in this configuration are usually given over to additional housing for the many transient visitors, diplomatic facilities including meeting rooms and VIP quarters, additional recreation facilities, and increased capability to house and support visiting freight and diplomatic vessels. Stations of this configuration have been quite common along regions such as the border with the [[Klingon Empire]], where local challenges such as the [[House of Mo'Kai]] necessitate both security and a joint response from Starfleet and the Empire.


===Border Patrol Hub===
By nature of the enterprise, Task Force 17 vessels very often find themselves alone, operating far from the vestiges of Federation society or Starfleet support, relying strongly on their guile, character, and one another to survive and flourish, in an uncertain and often inhospitable galaxy of unknowns. The voyages of these brave officers will become legendary as they chart new frontiers beyond what is already know by the Federation. Each new discovery will be worthwhile and exciting for generations to come.  
For more dangerous regions, the ''Copernicus'' can be deployed with increased capabilities of self-defence and to house more auxiliary ships. This is better for areas where the station itself does not anticipate a significant direct assault, though it is more than capable of defending itself, but rather where Starfleet sees a need for a consistent and wide-ranging presence that can be provided through runabouts and shuttles, including the away teams they can carry. These stations provide significant auxiliary craft to patrol a border or fraught region, extensive sensor equipment for long range scans, and where necessary house an increased number of Starfleet officers suitable for deployment on away missions. This does not always mean security officers, as such a ''Copernicus'' may be deployed to a fraught region with complex needs, like ongoing humanitarian aid or diplomatic intervention. The exact configuration usually depends on what the region needs, such as a medical module with extensive hospital facilities, but often includes space for additional auxiliary craft. More of these ''Copernicus''-class deployments have been seen on the Romulan borders with the collapse of the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]], to protect the border from warlords or provide support to refugee worlds.


==Layout and Design==
==Task Force Assets and Headquarters==
While Task Force 17 regularly dispatches starships to deep space assignments far from Starfleet infrastructure, it launches and manages these operations from its headquarters at [[Deep Space 17]] in the [[Typhon Frontier]]. More distant missions are supervised from the flagship, the [[USS Discovery]]. As with other Fourth Fleet task forces, ships operating in other regions rely heavily on local facilities to see to their wider-ranging duties.


The ''Copernicus''-class has a central hull not dissimilar in shape to the 'mushroom' of the [[Spacedock Class]] and other Federation starbases. Much smaller in size, it has fewer curves and more stark lines of support struts to maximise space. Protruding from the upper dome and the bottom of the hull are six modular 'pads' - three from the upper, three from the lower. These are circular segments each with a landing pad that can hold a large runabout. The central hull has a standard configuration containing all essential station operations, key facilities, crew quarters and civilian housing. The pad modules give the ''Copernicus'' its versatility, as different configurations of modules are available to allow each ''Copernicus'' to be constructed with a different mission profile.
=== Task Force Composition ===
Task Force 17 is comprised of two task groups, each with several starships assigned to them and conducting a wide variety of missions.


===Central Hull===
==== Task Group 9 ====
*[[Hathaway Squadron]]
**[[USS Arimathea|USS ''Arimathea'']], a [[Centaur II Class|''Centaur II''-class]] science vessel
**[[USS Hathaway|USS ''Hathaway'']], a [[Sagan Class|''Sagan''-class]] light explorer
*[[USS Ahwahnee|USS ''Ahwahnee'']], a [[Cheyenne_Class|''Cheyenne''-class]] light cruiser
*[[USS Elysion|USS ''Elysion'']], an [[Elysion Class|''Elysion''-class]] light explorer
*[[USS Gilroy|USS ''Gilroy'']], a [[California Class|''California''-class]] utility cruiser
*[[USS Paramount|USS ''Paramount'']], a [[California Class|''California''-class]] utility cruiser
*[[USS Sizemore|USS ''Sizemore'']], a [[Steamrunner Class|''Steamrunner''-class]] light cruiser


The dorsal section of the main hull houses large antennae farms, facilitating powerful communications systems that can keep these sometimes-distant starbases in contact with the rest of the Federation and act as a communications relay hub for nearby ships or outposts. Shield generators are nestled above them, flush with the dorsal stem of the hull, to provide protection for the whole station. The station's two fusion generators, providing the whole of the facility's power, are housed directly above this spire.
==== Task Group 38 ====
*[[USS Babylon|USS ''Babylon'']], a [[Grissom Class|''Grissom''-class]] surveyor
*[[USS Fearless|USS ''Fearless'']], an [[Excelsior Class|''Excelsior''-class]] heavy cruiser
*[[USS Nighthawk|USS ''Nighthawk'']], a [[Reliant Class|''Reliant''-class]] frigate
*[[USS Potemkin|USS ''Potemkin'']], a [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class]] light explorer
*[[USS Reliant|USS ''Reliant'']], a [[Reliant Class|''Reliant''-class]] frigate


The lower section of the main hull contains the primary computer cores and the majority of the station's facilities for its permanent population, particularly its Starfleet crew. This includes enough scientific laboratory space, medical facilities, cargo space, and other equipment to support general operations - specialised or additional equipment and facilities are contained in the modular pods, depending on the ''Copernicus''' mission profile. Most housing, including visitor housing, is at the very top of this section, closest to the recreational facilities above.
==Task Force History==
Being one of the Fourth Fleet's many exploration arms, primarily focused in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, when Starfleet decided to redeploy the assets from [[Task Force 9]] and Task Force 38 into one centralised task force then Task Force 17 was the logical decision. In 2399, Task Force 17 was handed all of the fourth fleet's deep space exploration assignments and assets. The handover was relatively simple and smooth sailing, but Starfleet was keen to reestablish some sort of long term presence in the Delta Quadrant. When command of the task force was given to Captain (later Commodore) Bennet the creation of the lead expeditionary group was Starfleet's first step forward in its efforts to return to the Delta Quadrant.  


The topmost decks of the upper hull form a narrower ring, which is dedicated to space to support visitors, including limited guest quarters but especially the majority of the station's recreational and social spaces. The promenade stretches across two decks and runs the circumference of the upper hull, and in many places directly overlooks the docking bay doors to allow up-close sights of starships arriving and departing.
==== The Archanis Campaign ====
On the eve of Bennet's expeditionary group leaving the Alpha Quadrant, the threat of the [[Hunters of D'Ghor]] increased rapidly requiring Starfleet to redeploy elements from the fourth fleet to combat it. As a result the expeditionary group, along with several other ships, were rushed to the area to bolster Starfleet's presence and remove the threat caused by the rogue element from the [[Klingon Empire]]. Task Force 17's mandate quickly changed as it was responsible in securing several systems and the assembly of the Archanis Array. Within a matter of days, the ships (all led by Bennet) completed their initial orders and removed the threat of the Hunters and were successful in bringing the new array online. Along with creating an innovative way of monitoring the Klingon-Federation border, the task force's involvement in the campaign was instrumental in removing key players and ships from the Hunters of D'Ghor's fleet. Days after the campaign was declared a victory by Starfleet, Task Force 17 supported in the rebuilding of several key listening outposts along the border and deployment of orbital weapon platforms. Bennet, was promoted to commodore and ordered to return his exploration fleet back to Federation space so it could start its mission in the Delta Quadrant.  


At the topmost level is the Operations division, generally referred to as Ops. This includes not only the central command and control facilities for the entire station, but offices for senior staff, meeting space, and other essential facilities to support key Starfleet personnel.
==== Operation: Delta Expedition ====
A month after the Archanis Campaign, Task Force 17's lead expeditionary group began its exploration efforts in the Delta Quadrant. It's first priorities were to explore what happened to the races that ''Voyager'' had left on good terms.


===Modules===
==== A New Home ====
The modules on ''Copernicus''-class stations are usually two to six decks in height, though by the 25th century most bases are deployed with the larger pads. Circular in shape, they are attached to the station by limb-like connectors, into which are built all passageways and turbolifts, passenger and cargo, to facilitate travel between them. Such transitions are normally seamless, with the modules acting as an easily-accessible wing of the station. Once a station has been built, it is rare for these modules to be changed or removed, as the process is highly-intensive; they are designed to enable different configurations of station upon deployment, rather than ongoing flexibility.
As research agreements were made with the [[Romulan Free State]] and Starfleet saw fit to launch new missions of exploration in the [[Typhon Frontier]], Task Force 17 undertook rearrangements. No longer making use of the lead expeditionary group, it was headquartered at Deep Space 17 in the Lioh System. From there, it has the freedom to launch missions into the deeper Beta Quadrant as well as the fringes of the Delta Quadrant, and has extensive research opportunities with the [[ma:Typhon Expanse|Typhon Expanse]] fresh on its doorstep.
 
===Docking Facilities===
Much of the space in the upper hull section is given over to the interior docking space, which has room for several small starship ships no bigger than 200 metres in width, such as [[Reliant Class|Reliants]] and [[Steamrunner Class|Steamrunners]]. Four large docking doors grant access. Additional facilities for ship maintenance and support are also located here. With multiple doors for access and egress of several ships at once, this can also act as a launching bay for the station's smaller auxiliary craft, such as its shuttles and workerbees.
 
The station's six runabouts, however, are housed in the six module pads. Each includes a single interior bay for any craft up to the size of a [[New Atlantic Class|''New Atlantic''-class]] runabout, with bay doors immediately above for a vertical launch to conserve space. These pads are normally reserved for Starfleet ships or visitors on special business, as they are normally in proximity to the specialist facilities of the modular pads. It is common for the runabouts with a mission-specific configuration to be assigned to the relevant module - runabouts configured for medical transport at a medical pad, those configured for scientific surveys at the science pad, and so forth. This makes the use of these landing facilities for mission operations, not general station or visitor business, a matter of practicality as much as security.
 
==History==
The ''Copernicus''-class was designed after the Dominion War, both in response to the changing nature of borders and Starfleet's desire to return to more missions of exploration. Initially it was conceived of as a purely scientific outpost, with the modules intended to allow specialised facilities according to regional needs. Throughout the late 2370s and early 2380s the starbases were deployed on the edges of explored space or in proximity to phenomena like the Typhon Expanse. The Attack on Mars and ensuing shift to border priorities brought the ''Copernicus''-class back for review, and additional modules were designed to give it more of a role on interior deployments for trade and commerce, or to provide a permanent facility on borders Starfleet now viewed as both more dangerous and more fixed. By the start of the 25th century, as Starfleet is once again looking to the wider galaxy, the ''Copernicus'' offers a versatile platform for permanent facilities with only a modest investment of resources, far more modern than many stations of its size.
 
==Station Life==
Life aboard a ''Copernicus'' depends heavily on its configuration and location, but it is large enough to always provide a sense of a small, bustling town. Even isolated science facilities which rarely receive a significant influx of visitors have a crew of a couple of thousand people, and this builds a collegial atmosphere of study and research, like a thriving university town - though some crewmembers have said this can either cultivate closeness and cooperation, or a certain cut-throat territorialism over the research opportunities available. Most other ''Copernicus''-classes receive considerably more visitors. The trade hubs have a constant cycling of civilians and guests passing through to keep the station alive and ever-changing, and the border protection stations usually have guests of local law enforcement or people in need brought aboard to receive aid.
 
Quarters are usually large and comfortable and are rarely shared rooms. On any ''Copernicus'', it is not uncommon for Starfleet officers to bring their family, with quarters large enough to suit - even a border protection station is expected to be relatively safe from direct threat.
 
Because of these different needs, a ''Copernicus'' always offers recreational facilities suitable to its needs - either a large population is expected to spend months away from the rest of the Federation, with high morale important to support work, or it regularly sees civilians passing through in need of entertainment and support. The promenade on the upper hull is always a hub of activity, and workers in these eateries and entertainment venues are the backbone of a station's permanent civilian population. With the numbers of families aboard, most stations have schools to educate children of varying ages, often with civilian teachers.
 
==In Play==
* A ''Copernicus'' can be one of the most dynamic and exciting assignments for a station of its size, depending on an officer's interests. Scientists sent to a research station can expect constant intrigue and research opportunities, though this may be very boring for a security officer or the like. Trade hubs or border outposts are usually thriving and ever-changing, though are often not at the heart of regional affairs - big decisions tend to be made on larger starbases, or by officers above the commanding officer's grade.
* Due to its size, a ''Copernicus'' is never deployed in regions where serious or consistent support is needed for larger starships. It is excellent at supporting small vessels and especially civilian vessels. As such, it is usually built where Starfleet's needs are modest and where the ''volume'' of civilian ships passing through is not especially high. This still means it is valuable on all but the most major trade routes.
* Smaller than the ''Canopus''-class, a ''Copernicus'' has a regular crew of a few thousand. Outposts on trade routes can see an average population of sometimes approaching double that number of transient civilians.
