Type:
Front-line weapons platform, resupply base




Unit Run:
Terok Nor
(aka Deep Space Nine), Empok Nor and four others. One destroyed during the Dominion War.
Commissioned:
2351

Diameter: 1,451.82m
Draft: 969.26m
Mass: 10,120,000 metric tons
Levels: 260; 98 excluding docking pylons
Crew: 300 to 1200; 7000 maximum capacity
Armament:

- six sail towers, weapon platforms, containing:

12x Rotating Turrets, each w/ 3x Type XV Phaser Arrays & 3x Pulse fire Quantum Torpedo Launchers
1x Fixed Emplacement (central) w/ 3x Type XV Phaser Arrays & 6x Pulse fire Quantum Torpedo Launchers

- eighteen retractable pods, containing:

6 Dorsal w/ 2x Type XV Phaser Arrays, 2 Pulse fire Quantum Torpedo Launchers
6 Ventral w/ 2x Type XV Phaser Arrays, 2 Pulse fire Quantum Torpedo Launchers
3 Dorsal w/ 1x Type XX Phaser Bank, 1 Transphasic Torpedo Launcher
3 Ventral w/ 1x Type XX Phaser Bank, 1 Transphasic Torpedo Launcher

- total overall armament:

63 x Type XV Phaser Arrays
6 x Type XX Phaser Banks
66x Pulse fire Quantum Torpedo Launchers
6x Transphasic Torpedo Launchers

- weaponry stock:

4,500 Quantum Torpedos
1,000 Transphasic Torpedos
Defensive Systems:

- hull components:

The entire hull has been replaced with Kalrithium/Kelindide mixture, which is twice as strong as the previous hull mixture. At thirty inches thick it has over two and a half times the strength previously yielded.

- shielding system:

High Capacity shield system, total capacity 8,640,000 TeraJoules
Low level Structural Integrity Field
Docking Facilities:
- six docking pylons [large craft]
- twelve docking ring ports [smaller craft]
- six landing pads [shuttle craft]
Maneuverability:
- multivector stabilizers/maneuvering thrusters:
These thrusters provide for minimal maneuvering of the station, mostly used to keep a steady position over the wormhole. They can, however, turn the station in the event such an act is necessary, such as when under attack.
Diplomatic Capability:
- approximately a third grade diplomatic ability:
The station lost most of its diplomatic ability when she was refit and set as a front line outpost. It isn't used for diplomatic missions very often, anymore.
Refit Cycle:
Minor: 5 years
Standard 10 years
Major: 30 years
Full Life: 150 years
Auxiliary Craft
1 Diligent-class Starship, U.S.S. Polaris (click for specs)
3 Volga-class Runabouts (click for specs)
 
Station Layout
Deep Space 9's structure is highly unusual, classified by Starfleet as a "hybrid planar-columnar tri-radial structure". Its basic form consists of a central core assembly containing most primary systems, a series of two concentric rings for habitat and docking facilities, and a series of three sweeping pylons containing ore-processing and additional docking facilities.

Central Core
The central core is a roughly cylindrical structure consisting of several terraced platforms containing various key facilities. At the extreme dorsal end of the core is the Operations center and the subspace communications antennae, as well as the deflector shield generators. Below this assembly is the three-level Promenade, a public area for commercial enterprises and entertainment for station personnel. It also contains the station's Infirmary.

The lower sections of the core contain engineering and support facilities, including at least one large industrial replicator, the computer core, and multiple deuterium fuel tanks. At the extreme ventral end sit the six fusion reactors.

Habitat Ring
The habitat ring is the inner ring of the station's structure, intended primarily for the housing of most of the station's semi-permanent residents. Spaced along the ring are also six landing pads, used by Starfleet's runabouts and other small craft.

Also mounted along the ring are three large protrusions, upon which a large portion of the station's armaments are mounted, as well as its' tractor beams.

Docking Ring

The docking ring is the outer ring of the station's structure, and is used primarily for moving and storing goods and for starship docking facilities. Twelve large docking ports are distributed around the perimeter, and numerous cargo bays are connected to these facilities. In addition, a series of six thrusters are mounted on the edge of the ring. These thrusters are intended mainly for maintaining orbital position.

Three large, sweeping docking pylons emerge from the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the docking ring to give DS9 its characteristic spindly shape. At the extreme end of each pylon is an additional docking port (for a total of six on the pylons), which can accommodate larger starships up to those approximately the size of the Galaxy-class. The majority of the pylons' internal structure is used up by ore processing facilities.
