}}'''Deep Space 20''', code-named '''Olympia Station''', is a Federation [[Spacedock Class|''Spacedock''-class starbase]] located in the Olympia system on the extreme rimward trailing edge of Federation space near Sheliak, Tholian and Tamarian space. Named along with the system it resides in for the ill-fated exploratory vessel USS ''Olympia'', this starbase serves a similar purpose to [[Deep Space 17]]: a waystation for long-range missions beyond Federation space.
}}
==Operations ==
The '''USS ''Independence'' (NCC-81358)''' is [[Defiant Class|''Defiant''-class]] escort assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]].
Assigned to the Fourth Fleet, Olympia Station supports the following operations in the Olympia Sector:
*Service exploratory starships embarking on and returning from missions outside of Federation space.
*Conduct scientific research on nearby systems and identify sites for future Federation colonization.
*Monitor the expansion of the Sheliak Corporate and Tholian Assembly.
*Maintain diplomatic relations with the Children of Tamar.
===Support Vessels===
Olympia Station is primarily supported by the [[USS Nellie Bly|USS ''Nellie Bly'']], a [[Challenger Class|''Challenger''-class scout]]. The ''Bly'' performs scouting functions around the Olympia system, as well as diplomatic courier missions to and from Tamarian space. All twelve of the station's runabouts are kept in constant use on away missions as well.


==History==
== History ==
The Olympia system has been home to an automated Starfleet deuterium refinery since the late 2370s, but plans for an eventual starbase to coordinate long-range exploration of the Alpha Quadrant were canceled during the Romulan Evacuation Mission. These plans never resumed due to Starfleet's inward-looking focus throughout the 2380s and 2390s. In 2400, the Fourth Fleet revived these plans. With the ''Spacedock''-class [[Starbase Bravo]] recently replaced by a new [[Guardian Class|''Guardian''-class station]], Fourth Fleet Command decided to relocate the original Starbase Bravo to the Olympia System. During a year-long process, the station was refit and towed across Federation space to its new location. It was formally recommissioned in mid-2401, with [[Arcturus Squadron]] becoming the first exploratory group to call it home. As with [[Gateway Station]] and the Starfleet Museum, Olympia Station's arboretum module was retrofitted to serve as a single large berth capable of servicing a single [[Odyssey Class|''Odyssey''-class heavy explorer]].

==In-Play==
The ''Independence'' came under the command of Ramius Vornar in 2389, and was assigned to a formation under the command of Fleet Captain Jericho that eventually became [[Endeavour Squadron]] in 2401. This formation took part in the defence of the [[Deneb Sector]] against the Dominion [[The Lost Fleet|Lost Fleet]] that year, participating in the liberation of the Izar system. During the campaign, it was discovered that Commander Ramius had at some point been replaced by a Changeling infiltrator. The ''Independence'' led a key role in the Battle of Izar after the impostor's discovery, bringing reinforcements in at a critical juncture. With the invasion's end, the crew of the ''Independence'' were dispersed, and the ship reassigned.
*Olympia Station is a flag station command assigned to [[bfms_user:669|Admiral Liam Dahlgren]], but members may feature it in their stories in accordance with [[Command_Policy#4_-_Flag_Stations|Section 4 of the Command Policy]].
 
*Similar to Deep Space 17, Olympia Station is a waystation on one of the Federation's most distant frontiers. It is intended to fuel, supply, and repair ships for long missions outside of Federation space. It is approximately 300 light-years from Starbase Bravo, a two-week journey at Warp 9.99, and 128 light-years from Avalon Fleet Yards, a six-day journey at Warp 9.99. Slower ships would take weeks or months to reach the station.

*There are few direct threats to Olympia Station, as the Tamarians are friendly to the Federation and the Sheliak are uninterested in dealing with them. The Tholians can be a bit of a wildcard, though.
==Notable Crew==
*Compared to other Starfleet starbases, Olympia Station has a lower civilian population, as it's not on a major trade route—at least not yet, as that will change when new colonies start to emerge.

History

The Lost Fleet

The Independence came under the command of Ramius Vornar in 2389, and was assigned to a formation under the command of Fleet Captain Jericho that eventually became Endeavour Squadron in 2401. This formation took part in the defence of the Deneb Sector against the Dominion Lost Fleet that year, participating in the liberation of the Izar system. During the campaign, it was discovered that Commander Ramius had at some point been replaced by a Changeling infiltrator. The Independence led a key role in the Battle of Izar after the impostor's discovery, bringing reinforcements in at a critical juncture. With the invasion's end, the crew of the Independence were dispersed, and the ship reassigned.
