Starbase 129

The ensign at the Enterprise helm lays in coordinates for Starbase 129 right after a punishing Cardassian assault. This Federation outpost stands ready as the crew's nearest refuge, where repair teams will patch hull breaches and restore battle-damaged systems. Crew members anticipate docking amid humming bays and technician swarms, a brief anchor of safety that lets them regroup before threats renew. Tension eases slightly at the thought of its fortified perimeter holding back pursuit.
