New Berlin

New Berlin is a city on Earth's moon and and one of the older Lunar colonies. It was founded sometime around 2067 or the early 22nd century. The city is named for Berlin, the capital of the Earth nation of Germany. The city is well known for the production of precision optics and isolinear optical chips. It is equally well known for its expansive cultural festivals, including a traditional German Oktoberfest celebration and an annual mazurka festival. These celebrations, along with New Berlin's reputation as a friendly and welcoming place, make the city a popular vacation and tourist spot.

In 2143, New Berlin detected the NX-Beta, an early warp ship, leaving Earth's orbit for an unauthorized flight piloted by Jonathan Archer and A.G. Robinson, so Admiral Maxwell Forrest could witness the ship achieving warp 2.5.

Tranquility Base

Beyond the city limits, approximately 30 kilometers from the suburbs of New Berlin, the first mission to the moon landed. Behind a force field barrier, visitors can see part of the primitive craft used to make the journey, an antiquated ground vehicle, and various artifacts. Children enjoy the "moon room," a padded room where they can experience Luna's natural gravity in a safe environment. Tourists can take a hopper to the site.

By the 23rd century, a Starfleet shipyards was here. Among the ships built there was the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764.

Apollo Bowl

In the heart of New Berlin, the acoustically perfect bowl is the home of the New Berlin Symphony and location of the city's numerous music festivals (including the Oktoberfest). The Under the Stars series brings noted musicians from across the Federation to play. Contact the box office for information on upcoming performances.
