Built in the mid-to-late 2360's, Deep Space 17 remains one of the newest Deep Space stations. It sits near the Romulan Neutral Zone and serves as a focal point for the monitoring of the Romulans and protection of Federation systems near the Neutral Zone border. It replaced Deep Space 6 which was destroyed 50 years before.
Deep Space 17 reveals a central axis running through three "wheels" - a large central ring, with smaller rings above and below making the upper and lower rings. Bridges connect these rings to the central axis, much like the spokes of a wheel. Its communications and sensory equipment - not to mention its defensive systems - all demonstrate state-of-the-art technology. Starfleet Intelligence maintains a significant presence on the station.
