Starbase 51 (2395-2397)
Starfleet's first station in the Gamma Quadrant, arranged at the request of the Dominion with the aim of normalising relations and offering relief to DS9 as the premiere waystation on the other side of the Bajoran wormhole.
Commanded by the would-be Ambassador Oriath Velt, his wife the actual Ambassador Tyell Orliss, and their first officer Rovak, a tactically trained XO more accustomed to close-quarters combat than diplomacy.
