Mars Defense Perimeter - Star Trek PBeM

Mars Base - An Overview

Admiral Remae Ktell is assigned to run the newly reinvented Mars Defence Perimeter (MDP), the Federation has decided to rebuild from the inside out. Firstly, by protecting its core assets, starting with Sol System. The Admiral is tasked with not only overseeing the combined station but building a team to catapult Starfleet back into the Alpha Quadrant.

The new team must go out and find out what's happening with the fleet, outposts and allies of the Federation. Who is a friend and who is not?

With the loss of Andorian (and other worlds) knowledge and assistance, Starfleet must access the remains of its primary defence, scientific, construction, and research capabilities.

The confusion of the Mars Station that formally housed the Mars Defence Perimeter, will become the first in the effort to reconstruct Starfleet's ability to not only defend Earth but to also go back out into the stars after a period of contraction.

BATTLE HISTORY: The Battle of Sector 001

During the Federation Civil War, Task Force Alpha mounted a critical defense of Starbase Valhalla—the command node of the Mars Defence Perimeter. The battle saw the 52nd Fleet and their Klingon allies mass for an attack on the MDP, which was controlled by Admiral Doenitz's forces. The USS Boudicca successfully breached the defenses, bringing down the defense stations and securing victory for the 52nd Fleet.

ANDORIAN TECHNOLOGY: The Rebuilding Challenge

When Admiral Ktell arrived in 2444 to take command of the Mars Defence Perimeter, he discovered that much of the Andorian-designed sensor technology had been stripped by departing loyalists. This technological gap explains the current "Rebuilding" status of the MDP. The loss of Andorian expertise has forced Starfleet to rebuild sensor networks and defensive systems from scratch, significantly impacting operational readiness.
