Promenade Deck, Station House, Chief of Security's Office, Hotels, Bars, Restaurants.

[N.B. Some structures on the Promenade are four decks high]

The Station House: The Station House is situated in the middle of the Promenade deck and is surrounded by circles of buildings extending out to the perimeter of the starbase. The 'House Is is essentially the police station of the starbase. Visitors are greeted by a holographic receptionist programmed to answer any questions concerning the policing of Phoenix, or the whereabouts of any particular Security Officer. The Reception area of the station is about 15 metres by 15 metres. At the centre of this floor is the Receptionist's desk and work area.

Off to the right are a set of stairs leading up to the on-duty personnel offices, and the brig. To the left is a doorway to the Security Chief's office.

On the second level are the on-duty personnel offices. These include desks for Security Officers to file reports, and a small lounge for on-duty personnel. There is also a small briefing room for the Security Chief located on this level, containing a small holographic representation of the base. The user can expand on a certain area, and even identify specific people's movements (usually indicated with a red dot). A computer terminal is also present that can access all Security files.

The third level is a small weapons room and the Security Team Unit Headquarters. There are currently four specialised Security teams aboard Phoenix: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta team. The first three teams are used for policing Phoenix in emergency situations. The fourth team, Delta, is strictly an away team escort, or command crew escort. They also regularly serve as an honour guard for official functions. On Phoenix, the most prestigious security post other than Chief is Delta team duty. The weapons room simply contains all tricorders, armour, clothing, and of course phasers, that a Security Team may need in an emergency.

The fourth level of the station house is the Brig. The Brig was designed to be a 'rock'. Of course there have been attempted breakouts, and all have been thwarted. There are five cells in the Brig, and one 'drunk tank'. The Brig is the typical Brig used on other Starfleet installations, however with the technology supplied by Gorvosh Station, communications through the retaining fields is now impossible. This additional function of the Brig was originally meant to prevent inmates from communicating with each other, but was soon found to be a hindrance to questioning an inmate. Therefore, Engineering has installed another field, activated if the first is turned off, which is a regular field. It is only on rare occasions that one of the "silencers" as they have come to be known, are used. The Brig has an emergency power unit separate from the rest of the bases systems. This is to ensure that even during power loss, the Brig is secure.

There are guards in the stairwell on every floor of the Station House, to guard against attempted breakouts. Indentification in the halls of the Station House maybe demanded at anytime by these guards.

The Chief Security Officer's Office located on the first floor, and is a medium sized office of about 18 x 24 metres. At the back of the office is a desk on which a computer terminal lies. On the right is an empty wall meant for momentos and trophies of the CSO. The other wall is covered with security surveillance equipment and in the back corner is another hologram projector of the Starbase to aid in emergency situations. The room also has a small weapons locker. It is usually up to the particular Chief to decide as to what is located within this locker.

650 - 654

655 - 665

Main Engineering. Due to the enormous power requirements of the starbase, the power system is a multi-chambered, compound, non-propulsive matter/anti-matter reactor producing approximately ten times the non-propulsive power of a Galaxy-class starship. This reactor is basically six smaller reactors within a single housing. With this system, should a problem arise in one part, the MCS can re-route the necessary reactants away from the affected dilithium chamber to facilitate normal shutdown procedures.


659

Emergency Trauma Centre (10 bed). Due to the distance from other medical facilities, this centre is used for the stabilisation of injured engineering personnel for transport to the Main Sickbay on Deck 267. Uses two Emergency Medical Programs (EMH).


660

Matter/Anti-matter Reaction Chamber (M/ARC). The M/ARC is a compound unit, using six individual reaction chambers to increase output and reliability. This system allows a damaged subsystem to be isolated while the system is adjusted to compensate for the lost output.

Chief Engineer's Office. The Chief's Office is about 12 x 20 metres and has a large status display behind the desk on the back wall. This office also contains readouts on the status of major systems and subsystems. Also in the room is a reserve tool locker for use in the event of replicator failure.


661 - 664

Antimatter Injection Reactor.


665 - 669

Magnetic Constriction Segments (MCS) [6]. Deck 669 also contains explosive bolts to separate all anti-matter subsystems in the event of catastrophic failure (these subsystems are deemed expendable compared to the population of the station). This system is controlled from the CNC or Chief Engineer's Office. In addition, Deck 667 has manual ejection controls that are guarded and their use must be confirmed by the computer and also by the Chief Engineer and senior officers in the CNC. In the event that the computer cannot locate command crew, the ejection will take place on the authority of the most senior officer that the computer determines is still on board. The resultant shock wave from the detonation of the antimatter has been modelled at level 7. For this reason there is an impulse engine and navigation controls to send this area to a safe distance before detonation.
