Alpha Site

[crispin_xavier001 0]

Construction of the temporary Alpha Site base had been completed. Headquarters, medical facilities, even defense arrays were in place, and drilling of a permanent base was complete. Now it was just down to actually building the bloody thing. There were enough materials on Camelot to build a few of the levels, but not all nine planned levels the base was to have. With the given time, Juhdia and the others were barely able to construct what was now there. Even if they worked nonstop on the real base it would take a month. Maybe an underground facility was not the best, but it would offer them greater security, as the ground could be laced with material to prevent beaming, and with escape tunnels that could be secured by armed Security, it was the best. For now.

 

The construction was based on old US Military Nuclear Fallout shelter, that were based on underground safe havens that were planned by the Germans during WWII. Juhdia remembered touring one such planned facility back then, but it was never completed.

 

Juhdia looked over the PADD that contained the plans.

 

It was simple enough, not unlike a starship, but it was to be stationary underground and not in the stars. There was an above ground level that would control the planetary-based defenses, with a turbolift that would connect to the underground portion, but would not reach the last two sub levels. That would be reached by a second turbolift shaft that ran the entire sublevels.

 

The first two sub levels would act as civilian housing, offering five hundred living quarters and four galleys. The next sub levels, level three and four would offer five hundred living quarters and four galleys for Starfleet personnel. Sub level 5 would be dedicated to labs and work areas for Science, Medical and Engineering Departments, as well as recreational Holodecks. The sixth sub level would hold the command staff, with housing, offices and a war room. The seventh sub level would be dedicated to supply storage and offer self-contained botanical farming gardens, for a supply of fruits, vegetables, animals and fish. To have the base be self-sufficient should re-supplying not be an option. The eighth and final sub level would house the geothermal power plant. This level will be recessed thirty meters beneath the seventh level, should the power plant be damaged by attack.

 

 

Base Structure:

 

Ground level One will be three meters high, at twenty meters by thirty meters. This level will also have the main controls for the Phaser arrays and the shuttle landing field. It will also have access to the sub levels one through six by a turbolift. This level will also house the main Security offices and brig.

 

Sub level One will be recessed ten meters below the ground level and will have the ground above it laced with materials that will prevent beaming into the sub levels. This will prevent beaming out, but will contain a series of escape tunnels that will be guarded. The escape tunnels will also contain a series of shielding and automatic Phaser arrays to aid in defense. This sub level will serve as housing for civilians. It is set to house two thousand, with five hundred rooms, eight civilians to a room. In addition to the housing, Sub Level One will hold four galleys, for dinning. These galleys, will offer both a functional kitchen as well as replicators. This sub level will have access to the ground level by a turbolift and will have a second turbolift shaft which offers access to the full underground facility. As well as a series of Jeffries Tubes that connects the entire facility. This level will also house an adjunct Sick Bay.

 

Sub Level Two will be constructed as Sub Level One, but will be recessed one meter below Sub Level One.

 

Sub level Three will be recessed one meter below Sub Level Two and will have the ground around it laced with materials that will prevent beaming into the sub levels. This will prevent beaming out, but will contain a series of escape tunnels that will be guarded. The escape tunnels will also contain a series of shielding and automatic Phaser arrays to aid in defense. This sub level will serve as housing for Starfleet Personnel. It is set to house two thousand, with five hundred rooms, eight Starfleet Personnel to a room. In addition to the housing, Sub Level Three will hold four galleys, for dinning. These galleys, will offer both a functional kitchen as well as replicators. This sub level will have access to the ground level by a turbolift and will have a second turbolift shaft which offers access to the full underground facility. As well as a series of Jeffries Tubes that connects the entire facility. This level will also house an adjunct Sick Bay.

 

Sub Level Four will be constructed as Sub Level Three, but will be recessed one meter below Sub Level Three

 

Sub Level Five will be recessed one meter below Sub Level Four. This sub level will house the Medical Labs and Sick Bay. This Sick Bay will be a full compliment Sick Bay, as opposed to the adjunct Sick Bays on Sub Levels One through Four, and Sub Levels Six and Seven. The Science Labs will also be housed on this sub level. In addition to Medical and Science labs, this sub level will offer full Engineering Labs and workshops.

 

Sub Level Six will be recessed one meter below Sub Level Five. This sub level will house the Command structure of the facility. With an active War Room, meeting and briefing rooms. This sub level will also house the command living quarters, one person to a room.

 

Sub Level Seven will be recessed two meters below Sub Level Six. This sub level will house Supply Rooms and Horticulture/Farming Labs. This is the last level accessible by the first turbolift.

 

Sub Level Eight will be recessed thirty meters below Sub Level Seven. This sub level will house the Geothermal Power Plant and Main Engineering. It is accessible by the secondary turbolift and Jeffries Tubes only. This sub level is to be heavily shielded and secured, to prevent sabotage and accidents. Unlike other sub levels, Sub Level Eight will not have escape tunnels, but a series of venting tunnels should the Geothermal Power Plant erupt.

 

Ground Level 1: Defenses (3m 20m x 30m)

Sub Level 1-2 : Civilian housing (2.5m 100m x 100m)

Sub Level 3-4 : Starfleet housing (2.5m 100m x 100m)

Sub Level 5: Science/Medical/Engineering labs/Holodecks (4m 150m x 150m)

Sub Level 6: Command (2.5m 40m x 40m)

Sub Level 7: Supply/farming (10m 150m x 150m)

Sub Level 8: Geothermal power station (8m 50m x 50m)
