Caelum Station
The Shangris Science Station is a Jupiter-class station that operates as a research outpost in the Shangris system in the Deneb Sector. The station was constructed in 2364 and is the central hub for most of Starfleet Science’s efforts within the Alpha Quadrant frontier. Over the years it has hosted many conferences and has been a place where other non-Federation scientist visit to collaborate on a range of research projects.
When the Dominion Lost Fleet captured the station in 2401, its ample sensor array was redirected to scan and monitor Federation and Starfleet territory to observe military movements. Its use by the Dominion has been a major blow to Starfleet operational security.
It is far from the borders of the Breen Confederacy, Ferengi Alliance and Kzinti Patriachy. A majority of its population are Caitian, due its close proximity to Cait.

- This article was written for the ‘Hit and Run’ mission in the Lost Fleet campaign, and is intended to be used for reference by that mission’s writer. The member may edit and update this article to reflect additional setting or story developments.
- Members who are not part of this mission may refer to the station or the Shangris system, but should not integrate them into their stories without consulting the mission’s writer.
- The station has retained many of its hundreds of civilians aboard - far too many to be easily rescued or extracted, certainly not with the haste of a strike mission. Any targeting of its sensor array must be surgical.
