Starbase 514

Starbase 514 is located in almost the exact center of the Alpha Quadrant's Cebelrai Sector near the Cardassian border, and is one of the Federation's experimental stations used to test new structural materials and station design.

On the edge of the Badlands, this former survey station is relatively well-armed, having suddenly been uprated during the Dominion War. Much of the base's armament was automated and its military staff withdrawn after 2375 for the most part. It now houses extensive ASDB facilities, as well as a large Starfleet Corps of Engineers contingency. As of 2383, the Starbase was home to 75,000 civilians and Starfleet personnel.

That same year, a Borg Sphere was headed for the station, but was intercepted and destroyed by the USS Trailblazer.
