Frontier Station

Back before Juno Fleet, nearly 100 years ago, the federation frontier was a vast and open area. Most of the planets on the far side of the Klingon Empire were poorly defended and the fleet was stretched thin trying to keep it from general lawlessness, however after detailed charting revealed huge deposits of valuable resources in this region, further infrastructure needed to be built and maintained, so Star fleet Corps of Engineers Spatial Fortification director Aleksandrov DeScott received approval to construct a series of stations along the border to act like border checkpoints. These stations, almost 200 of them, were top of the line outposts where three corvettes could be stationed for rapid deployment to protect the vital resources. These stations and corvettes eventually became the foot soldiers of the Juno Project, the precursor to Juno Fleet.

As time marched on, Frontier Stations became obsolete and each one was replaced with a highly sophisticated Border Relays, however one remained in service, mostly due to being overlooked long ago on the replacement list. That station became known as Frontier Station.

She's stood well beyond her deployment lifetime, but the station has been extensively upgraded by her own crew, sometimes with federation-standard equipment, and sometimes with things they manage to barter for. Striving for relevance in a world of significantly more advanced technology, Frontier Station stands between The Edge and some of the largest, resource-laden nebula in the quadrant.

She's quite busy for an old girl.
