Deep Space Twelve is one of the most important facilities in the Federation, an economic strong hold and vitally important strategic outpost. Located on the border between the Federation and Cardassian Union, Deep Space 12 is one of two Nor class stations in service within Starfleet.
Deep Space 12 and the USS Pacifica
The USS Pacifica has visited the station on three seperate occasions and has docked with the space station on two occasions. During all three of the Pacifica’s visits to Deep Space 12 the station was under the command of Commodore Kimberley Harper.
A New Station Commander
In November 2377 the USS Pacifica arrived in the Hors System, home to Federation Outpost 311 to pick up Lieutenant Commander Kimberley Harper who had just been named as the new Commander for Deep Space 12. The Pacifica was tasked with transferring Harper to her new command before travelling on to Starbase 565, where the ship docked for R&R.
The Borg
The USS Pacifica returned to Deep Space for the second time in 2378 for minor repairs and much needed respite for the ship’s compliment, but the respite failed to eventuate as the station itself soon came under threat. The threat came from the Borg, but not the borg that the Federation were familiar with as they had crossed over from a parallel universe. The USS Pacifica along with several other starships aided in the defence of the station, buying time for Captain Harper and her crew to mount a successful counterattack. One of the Pacifica’s officers paid the ultimate price during the engagement, Commander Evan Ottaway the ship’s Chief Operations Officer was killed despite the best efforts of the Pacifica's Chief Medical Officer. Following the Borg crisis the Pacifica remained at DS12 for additional repairs before joining with the USS Iowa which was also docked at the station to launch a investigation into the missing USS Noble.
Refits and Pirates
The Pacifica returned to Deep Space 12 during the following year for an extensive overhaul and refit. With the ship laid up for two months the Pacifica’s crew made extensive use of the stations R&R facilities as the crew were finally able to take a well deserved break.
It was during this visit to DS12 that the Pacifica became a target of a planned terrorist attack. The attack however was successfully thwarted by the Pacifica’s Chief Science Officer Lieutenant James Harris and the Chief Strategic Officer Lieutenant Junior Grade L’Verrem. It was later learned during the follow up investigation that the attack on the Pacifica had been conducted by the Jayian Pirates that were operating in the sector. The pirate group has since been driven out of the area and moved their operations to the Romulan Neutral Zone where they became known the the Rikan Pirates.
