Editing Spacedock Phoenix (section)

==Headquarters - [[USS Firebrande]]==

Until a more permeant solution is constructed, the Firebrande will be controlling station of the base, this facility is the control centre for all orbital activities off all kinds. Given the amount of traffic between each of the construction yards, this is a very important role.

Assigned to this new sector, the [[USS Firebrande]] is permanently on call to the senior staff, the ship is an experiential platform for the engineers, it can be used to escort new ships on test runs and even be used on missions beyond the Sol system as Starfleet deems fit.

Most of her 1000 person capacity has been removed to allow a huge range of engineering and scientific equipment to be installed, her warp drive is rumoured to be the most efficient in the Federation thanks to all the tweaks given to her over the years by various experiments.

It is the hub of operations for Phoenix. Civilian workers and most of the specialists work on the surface of the planets in the research labs. In orbit, the Starfleet crew have to coordinate the spacedocks, the construction and repair teams and basically all activity, including the remnant [[Mars Defence Perimeter]], which was used during the first [[Borg]] invasion of the [[Sol]] System.

There is high interaction between the Starfleet crew and the surface and all the spacedocks, shipyards and all ships in the Sol System and beyond.

As you can imagine, starships, shuttles and shuttle pods are numerous and the coordination of this traffic is a full time job.
