I.F.S. Phoenix

History
The Imperial Fleet Station (I.F.S.) Phoenix is the hub of command operations for the Empire. Phoenix is responsible for all strategic operations and planning in the Audrey Sector and beyond.

The station is equally impressive, constructed by the mobile factory vessel I.S.S. Sulaco and completed on the 15th of October 2387.

This station is outfitted with an impressive weapons array recovered from salvage of the destroyed Caretakers array along with componants mined from the surface of Audrey IV in the Delta Quadrant.

The station is a symbol of the far reach of the Empire and also serves as a diplomatic platform in remote possibility that the Empire wishes to greet its allies or hold diplomatic talks. The majority of the station is devoted to weapon research and development along with repair facilities for Starfleet vessels.

Construction and Initial Assignment
I.F.S. Phoenix was constructed in orbit of Audrey IV in the Audrey Sector of the Delta Quadrant. Construction was deemed needed of a facility that could handle Fleet logistics as well as communication and repair facilities for the many warships of Task Force Avenger.

A Buckingham Class orbital facility was chosen due to lack of resources to build a full Ournal Class Starbase and in anticipation that the Empire might one day have to evacuate Audrey due to its exposed position. The I.S.S. Sulaco spent almost six months constructing and assembling the outer shell, parts of the station are not even fully complete today.
