}}'''Tucker Station (AFY-02)''' is a [[Presidium Class|''Presidium''-class station]] which is part of [[Avalon Fleet Yards]] orbiting Avalon III in the [[Avalon System]]. This station houses several research and design laboratories and provides housing for shipyard workers, who commute via shuttle or transporter to the various dry docks around the system.


Encountered by ''[[USS Daedalus]]'' in 2401 as part of the Fourth Fleets investigations into increased [[Borg]] signals, ''Exodus'' was the home of a group of [[ma:Unimatrix_Zero|Unimatrix Zero]] survivors following the Borg Collective's restructure caused by the release of the [[ma:Neurolytic_pathogen|Neurolytic Pathogen]].
==Namesake & History==
Tucker Station is named after [[ma:Charles Tucker III|Charles "Trip" Tucker III]], the first Chief Engineering Officer of the Earth Starfleet vessel ''Enterprise'', who was killed sacrificing himself to save the ''Enterprise'' in 2161. Tucker Station was built in 2374 to provide additional housing for shipyard personnel during the height of the Dominion War. It has maintained that role for the duration of its existence.


When ''Daedalus'' encountered the vessel it was severly damaged as a result of its journey from Borg territory, those aboard were considering abandoning the vessel when they arrived.
==Organization & Senior Staff==
Tucker Station is a medium-sized space station of a class that is often used for subsidiary starbases in large sectors or secondary stations for major commands like Avalon Fleet Yards. Independently, a station of this class is large enough to be commanded by a commodore, but as a sub-command of AFY, it has often been led by a commander or even lieutenant commander who reports to the Commander, Avalon Fleet Yards Orbital Assets.

{{For|article=[[Presidium Class]]}}Presidium-class stations have a barbell shape with two semi-spherical modules joined together via a large interconnecting pylon. The two hemispheres have four hangers capable of handling Raven-class corvettes and smaller vessels, and have four runabout pads. These hemispheres contain the majority of the station's long-term housing for yard workers and civilians on the lower five decks of the upper hemisphere and the upper five decks of the lower hemisphere. Additional crew are housed in the central spire.


=== Service to the Collective ===
===Lower Modules===
Constructed in 2375 at [[ma:Unimatrix_325,_Grid_006|Unimatrix 325]], the vessel began as Sphere 531 and was assigned a variety of obejctives in service of the collective. It was primarily stationed in the Alsuran Sector during the assimilation of several planetary systems and operated in an exploratory and monitoring function at the border of the [[ma:Krenim_Imperium|Kremin Imperium]], deep in the [[Delta Quadrant]].  
The four lower modules contain command, operations, medical, and engineering support facilities, including station operations. They also each have shuttle bays of their own. Tucker Station is in the standard configuration, with one module dedicated to each of these activities.  


=== Release from the Hive Mind ===
===Upper Modules===
In 2378 the crew of USS Voyager released a neurolytic pathogen in the heart of the collective causing the apparent death of the Borg Queen and the desctruction of a large portion of the collective's internal infrastructure. This pathogen seperated a substantial number of drones and vessels from the Hive Mind's control. Where other drones fell into a state of confusion, those drones with the genetic mutation that allowed them to retain their indentities within the hive mind (who had at one time formed Unimatrix Zero) found themselves fully released from the Borg control. By chance, several of these Unimatrix Zero surivors were aboard Sphere 531 when the pathogen rendered the vessel immobile.
The four upper modules are smaller, just ten decks high, and are each devoted to an individual research institute.


Following several days of work the survivors were able to isolate the remaining drones and take direct control of the vessel and began searching for any further remnants of the Unimatrix. As a result of several attempts to make contact with other survivors by the small crew of the sphere, now named ''Exodus'', several other clusters of survivors joined from disabled vessels skirting the edge of [[Malon Cooperative|Malon]] & [[Hirogen]] space.

=== Journey to the Federation ===
==Scott Station In-Play==
The Unimatrix attempted to make contact with several other vessels but found them either completely disabled or operating in a state of base responsiveness, forcing them into conflict as the Borg remnant attempted to reintegrate them. Following a particularly dangerous engagement with a remnant sphere they discovered the Collective was not as dysfunctional as they had assumed following the pathogen's release and a programme of aggressive resource collection and territorial expansion was underway by the newly adapted Hive Mind. 


Following this discovery of a renewed Borg threat and aware they were not going to be welcomed by the local races who had suffered at the hands of the Collective for decades, the community voted almost unanimously to begin travel towards the [[Alpha Quadrant]] following the promises once made by [[ma:Kathryn_Janeway|Captain Janeway]] to the original inhabitants of the Unimatrix. 
* Scott Station is a sub-command of [[Avalon Fleet Yards]], one of Bravo Fleet's sandboxes. This means that members can create characters on this station up to and including its commanding officer by advancing both in their fleet rank and in AFY's tier system, which is described in the [[Guide:Avalon Fleet Yards|AFY Guide]]. Members may also use Scott Station freely in their own fiction as a setting to visit without needing to write directly on the AFY Command.
 
* This is a station approximately the size of Deep Space 9, but its function is mainly to serve as housing for people who work in the shipyard.  
After several years of travelling, the Unimatrix found their ability to maintain and supply the new community to be declining as a result of the failing vessel; once designed to be operated by the full hive mind, the Unimatrix was unable to operate the vessel at full capability. As a result of repeated conflicts at the newly resurgent [[ma:Vaadwaur|Vaadwuaar]] border, ''Exodus'' lost a significant portion of its power systems and as a result was no longer able to reach transwarp speeds. Still intent on journeying to the promised lands of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] but facing a journey of several decades the Unimatrix made the decision to attempt to utlise the underspace corridors of the [[Turei Alliance|Turei]] to speed their transit. During their attempts to use the corridors they were repeatedly engaged by Turei forces, who despite their tactically inferior vessels were able to cause significant damage to the sphere. ''Exodus'' was forced from the corridors near the edge of the [[Beta Quadrant]] and forced to continue under their standard warp capabilities.

=== Talvath Cluster and ''USS Daedalus'' ===
The journey towards Federation territory took several years under standard FTL and the Unimatrix continued to suffer losses as the infrastructure of the vessel failed without the constant upkeep undertaken by hundreds of drones. By the time the vessel arrived in the [[Talvath Cluster|Talvath cluster]] at the far edge of Federation and [[Romulan Factions|Romulan]] territory only a half dozen members of the community remained alive. Since their initial release form the Hive Mind, the community had operated a modified [[ma:Vinculum|vinculum]] aboard the vessel to act as a focal point for the shared virtual reality they developed to recreate Unimatrix Zero, named 'Unimatriz Zero Point Five'. When a series solar events caused major damage to the ship's hull, the dying community decided to channel all their efforts into adapting the vinculum's long range transmission abilities into a distress beacon.  
 
[[Overwatch Station|Overwatch station]], still under construction at the edge of the cluster detected the Borg transmission and following review with Starfleet command ''USS Daedalus'' was dispatched to the cluster to investigate the possible threat.  
 
Upon arrival at the site ''Daedalus'' found the vessel heavily damaged and only 4 members of the Unimatrix alive aboard. At the instruction of [[Task Force 72]] command the crew began to provide aid in an attempt to make the vessel safe to continue its travels into Federation space, intent on securing their alligence in the process.

Tucker Station (AFY-02) is a Presidium-class station which is part of Avalon Fleet Yards orbiting Avalon III in the Avalon System. This station houses several research and design laboratories and provides housing for shipyard workers, who commute via shuttle or transporter to the various dry docks around the system.

Namesake & History

Tucker Station is named after Charles "Trip" Tucker III, the first Chief Engineering Officer of the Earth Starfleet vessel Enterprise, who was killed sacrificing himself to save the Enterprise in 2161. Tucker Station was built in 2374 to provide additional housing for shipyard personnel during the height of the Dominion War. It has maintained that role for the duration of its existence.

Organization & Senior Staff

Tucker Station is a medium-sized space station of a class that is often used for subsidiary starbases in large sectors or secondary stations for major commands like Avalon Fleet Yards. Independently, a station of this class is large enough to be commanded by a commodore, but as a sub-command of AFY, it has often been led by a commander or even lieutenant commander who reports to the Commander, Avalon Fleet Yards Orbital Assets.
