Summary

Home to Lotus Fleet, the elite branch of Starfleet, Starbase Lotus, the refitted former Starbase 10, is the primary line of defense in the Hromi Sector. Equidistant from both the Romulan and Klingon Empires, Starbase 10 is strategically situated to deal with threats from either faction, as well as to explore the unknown regions of the less-explored Beta and Delta Quadrant.

Layout The horizontal layout of each deck can be described as “rings within rings”. This is best explained by imagining one deck from the top view, the largest “ring” would be the rooms which border the external hull of the base. All of these rooms have windows. The next ring inside would be a corridor, allowing access to these rooms. The next ring in would most likely be two rows of rooms, with another corridor on the inside of that. Room widths varies within a deck, or even within a ring. Because each ring is connected by corridors leading to the central hub of the station the rings are not unbroken.

Lounge / Personal Facilities

Lounge / Promenade / Eatery The main promenade encircles the station on the widest part. The outer docking ring can be seen from this area. It features over 100 shops, eateries, bars, and restaurants with authentic cuisine and drinks from dozens of species.

Amongst the other decks, various replimats are located for personnel who need sustenance but don't have the time or desire to visit the promenade.
Entertainment Facilities 120 Personal Holodecks of an average size and functionality feature entertainment sources collected from dozens of planets over thousands of years. Books, poems, movies, broadcast media, and other sources have been read and processed by the computer to contribute to this library.
Exercise / Gym Areas 20 x 100 square meter exercise facilities serve the needs of all personnel and guests on the base for the old fashioned.

Personal holodecks can, of course, be used, as well, for those who want a more personal and unique exercise experience.

There are 200 small transporter stations around the base, which makes moving people between certain areas quicker and easier. These transporter stations are usually manned by just one officer, and are for use by anyone. Each person who lives on the base has a limited number of transports per week, which helps keep the energy consumption by these transportation devices down to a manageable level. Site-to-site transports are only allowed by command staff of high enough clearance. All other personnel must utilize station-to-station transporting or take a turbolift.
Turbolifts Because of the sheer size of the Starbase a vast network of turbolift shafts span the Stabase both vertically and horizontally to enable officers and civilians alike quick access to all parts of the station. Several classes of turbolift are available dependent on the occupants security clearance.
