The Enterprise has arrived at Deep Space 1 (DS1). We pulled into parking orbit at around 0100 hours earlier this morning – during the overnight crew shift, and we will likely be here through the weekend. Our port schedule has us exchanging some crew, gaining supplies, and I believe the command crew have a few briefings to attend. Our Enterprise crew is welcome to visit DS1 while we are in port – transporters are available, and crew shuttles will be running between our Main Shuttle Bay and theirs. I’ve been informed that we will also be gaining a few Marines for Enterprise Company, and that a joint (Marine) training drill is scheduled.
In terms of amenities, the interior of Deep Space 1 isn’t all that different from the Enterprise, but the starbase does have a more extensive collection of recreation facilities than we do. This includes a larger mall deck, an indoor soccer field, a few movie theaters, a hotel, and a swimming pool where the former aquatic tanks were located. I’m told there may also be a friendly (though likely rigorous) Parrises Squares competition taking place as well.
This is Deep Space 1, the USS Enterprise’s first starbase port call.
