Here are a few tidbits we've established in the course of the ever-developing saga of Starbase-10:

• The Station - Believe it or not, this used to be a Romulan scientific outpost!
• The Planet - We have an M-type planet in the vicinity called Ariadne, named for a woman in a tale about a minotaur of old Earth mythology.
• Yellow Alert - Because of our proximity to the Neutral Zone we maintain a yellow alert status
• The Mission - Guard this sector of the Neutral Zone... Assist in diplomatic relations with the Romulans... Provide a safe, controlled environment for trade and commerce.
• The first CO - Miller (NPC), replaced because of scandal!   ooooooooooo
• The second CO - Capt Zachary Vrona
• The third CO - Capt Shanti Harold
• The Mines - Ariadne is discovered to have rich deposits of dilithium... But, those areas are mined! Operations are underway to remove the mines (explosives) and re-open the mines.
• The Transporters - There are security protocols put in place automatically when we go to red alert or anytime there's a problem with point-to-point transports inside the station. These protocols prohibit any use of transporters without command staff authorization... aka the signals are scrambled/jammed. 
• Weapons fire - Just like on starships, any energy weapon fired on the station would be detected, located, and alarms sounded.
• The Umpyrs - On Deck 200, are sequestered a converted race called Umpyrs, similar in some way to vampires. We encountered/recovered one of their ships (now at SF) with a dead crew. Some survivors were hiding out but all eventually perished with a single exception. She "infected/converted" several of the station personnel and now is basically a queen of her new peers, numbering 38 total. There is an antidote that will reverse the condition. The 38 folks here made a decision not to be changed back. There are numerous security barriers and detection equipment in place to track them closely and keep them here. They need very little environmental support and are sensitive to heat and intense light. She has discovered that only she can convert anyone, and both Romulan and Ferengi are not very tasty. 
• The Wayne syndrome - Lt John Wayne, of security fame, seems to have more time logged in sickbay than anyone, even 80psi! Fortunately he recovers, but he has no hesitation to throw himself into danger for others. He has been a  constant figure in security since the SIM's inception, keeping an immodest posture, frequently the scapegoat for problems or shortcomings in the Security dept, but he wouldn't leave it for anything!
• The Jeffries Tubes - After several problems with infiltration, more sensors (of several types) have been installed, both on the plans and off. Officer to officer handoff of classified info is passed to keep the location of some of these secret. Several tubes/routes were not on the original layout, security and the marines have remapped the entire concourse web of tubes. The marine section of the base is physically barred with pressurized locks.
