Welcome to the Tzenkethi Border.
Built originally as a trade and supply outpost, Deep Space K-17 has had a long and rich history.
Following the Federation's first war with the Tzenkethi Coalition in 2280, Starfleet deemed it prudent to convert the K-Class outpost and to operate it as a listening post on the Tzenkethi Border. Gone were the days of vibrant trade and commerce, giving way to a much more solemn and serious tone about the station.
In 2361, the Tzenkethi and the Federation entered into another conflict which eventually resulted in a ceasefire in 2363. This time the Coalition went into isolation from the Federation.
Deep Space K-17 continued to function as a listening post, but quickly began to fall into disuse. With the Tzenkethi deep in isolation from the Federation, there was little need for a a full compliment to man K-17.
Over the next few decades Deep Space K-17 became a dumping ground for Starfleet's malcontents and non-starters. It became synonymous with career purgatory.
Until it happened...

Liam strolled over to the nearest biobed and, with an effortless ease, hopped onto it. Settling in, he swung his legs slightly, the motion almost boyish in contrast to his usual composed demeanor. “All set, Doc,” he announced with a playful grin, his tone light but expectant.
Reittan followed with…

The USS Hamilton cruised steadily at warp, the faint thrum of its engines a constant presence beneath the polished floors and smooth bulkheads. In his quarters, Haz Mondo sat at his desk, idly tracing the rim of a cooling mug of raktajino with his fingertip. The scent of the drink…
