Wiki-goblin extraordinaire.
Testing
Testing space for a lot of weird shit. Examples of most infoboxes are commented out in the source for this page. Look at your own peril. Also, Starbase Kickass and its associated shenanigans are Totally Canon. All events are real and undocumented as no one wants to admit they exist.

Commodore Aben Ch'Thobar once got a cadet promoted to captain by giving them finger guns while walking the Academy campus... |
The Beta Antares Shipyard - Kickass Fleet's favourite shop on the citadel!
Kolar Blight
A throwaway joke about an Orion post-modern punk band that has taken on a life of its own. It's more like a super-group, constantly evolving, members coming and going. They've been around since at least the mid 2370s. Hits include
- Agency Crisis
- Fight for Paradise/Kick ‘em before they Stand
- A foulmouthed anti-fascist rant directed at one Admiral Layton and his attempted coup during the Dominion Cold War. The chorus is notable for rhythming Layton with as many expletives across as many Federation languages as is reasonable.
- Pah-Wraith Disco
- Did poorly on the Bajoran Top 100. But made the Top 100. What does that say?
- Martian Rhapsody
- You wouldn't think a punk band to do a dirge, but somehow they pulled it off. Noted for beating the Bajoran and Klingon entries in the 2386 Bajoran Dirge Competition.
Kyban
Kyban is one of the more populous worlds in the Archanis Sector, featuring a population of just over 300 million citizens spread across the equatorial archipelagos that form the majority of the planet's usable land surface. Not far from the Federation-Klingon border, this world saw its share of tragedy in its early years, even briefly occupied by Klingon forces during the first Federation-Klingon war. Over the last century however the world has prospered thanks to the Organian Peace Treaty and subsequent Khitomer Accords largely protecting the peace of the shared border. A stable border, a temperate if not desirable climate and abundant resources on the world and within the star system have contributed to the prosperity of the world as well.
In the last few decades however Kyban authorities have taken it upon themselves to work towards ensuring the safety of their world independent of Federation security promises. While this is a work in progress, the Kyban Defence Force has completed the construction of a Class 1 orbital defence system and is working towards expansion to a Class 2 system sometime in the next five years. They also now count five system defence vessels in their inventory, primarily using them for system patrols and rescue work where required.
Notable locations
Ardot’s Café
This café, owned by the Bolian information broker Ardot Kresh, who also serves as the head chef, is known in better circles as a delightful well-known secret of Banksy City. Specialising in experimental recipes and fusion styles, the menu at Ardot’s Café will change repeatedly throughout the day based on a variety of factors - time of day, the weather, what Ardot has in stock and 'the whims of fate' as Ardot will profess when changes are updated.
For those with less savoury tastes Ardot's Café serves as the premier information brokerage for the entire Archanis Sector. This terribly out-there secret helps to add to the mystique of the café - one can never be entirely sure one isn't seated next criminal mastermind selling secrets, a superspy seeking his target or just a mild-mannered businessman seeking something a little different for lunch today.
The open-secret also means that the café tends to be monitored on a regular basis by Starfleet and Federation security apparatuses. The popular opinion for why none have moved to shut down Ardot is that they too enjoy his wonderful and masterful culinary creations, but the more pragmatic lean towards the thinking of why would they shut down a location that lets them monitor the comings and goings of individuals of note. The long-term gains from monitoring the place outweigh the short-term gains from shutting it down and acting on the intelligence they could potentially seize.
Federation Plaza
Located in the heart of Banksy City's CBD, Federation Plaza is a small sector given over to the various branches of the Federation's and Starfleet's bureaucratic organs that require a presence on the world. The plaza is surrounded by a collection of various buildings, most of them housing multiple though oft-related bureau offices.
Notable efforts were made to make the plaza truly representative of the Federation as a whole, with stone sourced from every populated Federation world incorporated into the plaza's parquet, each labelled so that visitors can find a piece of their homeworld and know that a piece has its place on Kyban.
Kyban Rookery
Kyban Rookery is the Starfleet Intelligence headquarters on Kyban. This facility oversees operations within the Archanis Sector, including those taking place inside the Klingon Empire. The Rookery's location is no secret as it is located at Starfleet Tower, located in the Federation Plaza. Its location within the building however is a closely guarded secret.
Total Legitimate Salvage Operations Corporate Headquarters
- "We're legitimate, it's in the name. Totally legitimate even."
- —Captain Sidda Sadovu
Located in a small corporate office, the Totally Legitimate Salvage Operations Corporate Headquarters is currently a single-floor entity being managed in day-to-day operations planetside by the company's Chief Financial Officer, Naroq.
