Sargasso

Located between New Seoul and Atatan, Sargasso is an astrologically insignificant system composed of a brown dwarf and the shattered, radioactive remains of a single rocky planet. Thanks to this inherent obscurity and natural sensor baffling, the newly-formed Starfleet Intelligence Command (the result of a sudden and mildly contentious merger between four separate services) chose it as an ideal location for their primary fleet base. Construction resources were slowly assembled via deep-space drops outside of the proper logistics lines until construction could begin on a mid-scale (for the time) shipyard complex and station nestled between a pair of large asteroids locked in a mutual orbit.

Today, Sargasso serves as the base of operations for the Transport Division along with several associated programs and departments. With most eyes focused on the more visible Kestrel Station and Erebus Base, Sargasso remains almost entirely unknown to the general public.

The Sargasso system is also home to a small graveyard of retired SFI vessels, relegated to mere historical curiosities.
