Deep Space 19 (DS-19) is a Federation Unity-class starbase located in the Kovar system on the outer edge of Federation space in the Alcor Sector of the Federation’s shared border with the Romulan Free State. 

After its construction in 2380, it was initially intended to be used by the Federation to promote joint exploration missions with its former and new allies after the Dominion War. Though it was only sometimes successful with representatives from the Romulan government, it has successfully served Starfleet for over two decades in promoting coordinated exploration efforts beyond Federation territory with other powers.

Furthermore, Deep Space 19 is a critical link in Starfleet’s hyper-subspace relay network for its deep space exploration assignments—many compressed data streams from ships on deep space exploration assignments in the Beta and Delta Quadrants are received by Deep Space 19. 

It also provides defence for one of the Federation’s prominent colonies, Kovar Prime and is critical to the security of the Federation border in this region. Further defence duties were assigned to the station in 2399 when Coppelius in the Vayt sector became a Federation protectorate.

The mild ambient music mingled with the gentle rustle of the night wind in the rooftop garden. Kovar’s capital, New Hampton City, gleamed below in an ocean of lights, stretching out to the distant shoreline. High above the streets and gliding hovercars, a quiet rooftop had been transformed into [...]
