History
Construction and Abandonment
Deep Space Three was originally intended to be a forward operating base of the Federation during a war with the Klingon Empire. However, the anticipated war never actually arrived, and the United Federation of Planets, Starfleet Command and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers abandoned the project and left the mostly constructed base to languish and fall to disrepair.
In Service
With the discovery of the Shackleton Expanse, The stardock was relevant again and was ordered to be refurbished so that it could finally be commissioned. In 2393 Starfleet Command assigned a crew to repair the station on bring it online to be the frontline station in the Shackleton Expanse and all vessels operating in the Expanse were redirected to Deep Space Three as their forward base of operations.
