Deep Space Nine
Deep Space Nine, sometimes referred to as DS9, is a Frontier-class space station located at the mouth of the Bajoran Wormhole. This Federation-built and Starfleet operated station is the second station to bear the name, having replaced the previous station in 2447.
Unlike Terok Nor, which was originally constructed for ore processing, the new station has been purposed built as a deep-space starbase. This station is equipped with full construction and repair facilities, engineering and science labs, a fully-staffed medical center, docking and cargo bays. The station is also equipped with the latest in defensive and offensive systems, including regenerative shields, phasers, multiple torpedo types, and ablative armor. The latter only protects vital areas, such as operations and the power cores.
