What is Liberty Station?
The Galaxy class starship, USS Liberty was the first Federation starship to enter the Ryalli Sector in 2473. After a half year of exploring, they came upon a warp capable species known as the Yetanni. After sacrificing her drive section to deflect an asteroid that was on a course to destroy the Yetanni home planet of Gideon, the saucer section crash landed on a remote area of Gideon’s mountain region. The inhabitants of Gideon, out of gratitude for the Liberty’s sacrifice, granted the stranded Liberty crew a 100 square kilometer preserve on which they could live. The crashed saucer section of the USS Liberty became Liberty Station, the embassy of the Federation on Gideon and later, the headquarters of all Federation forces in the sector. After repairs, Liberty Station is the home of over 1000 starfleet personnel and their families. It is a bustling community that also serves as a neutral ground based port of trade for several races in the surrounding region. Other notable features of L
