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...

Xuan wasted no time in locating the Captain. She even made no attempt to find her cabin, drop off her duffel bag. While she hoped the situation that she uncovered with that ensign near the airlock was a one-off, Xuan wanted to get involved with the Operations team as soon…

What was the saying? Ah, yes. Beggars can't be choosers.
There were times that Xuan was jealous of officers. They had a lot more freedom, ability to pick and choose their assignments. They could resign at will, get into barfights, and even vault up the ladder of success at unnatural…

Mission: 03-Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
Posted on Thu Nov 9th, 2023 @ 2:53am by Captain Etan Kaz & Lieutenant Commander Athon Scordato
Etan sat in his renovated office. So much had changed in the last few months, it was hardly recognizable from the space he had come to know. The design resembled what the station would have looked like in its glory days, although the technology was updated to a modern standard.…

The refit was well underway and many of the upper decks had already received beautiful facelifts. At the behest of Captain Kaz much of the 'vintage charm' had been preserved. The central stairway in the upper module, the observation deck, and command deck all restored to a their former glory…
