When the Europa arrived at Starbase 51, they would find a fairly standard starbase located between a couple different worlds. There were about a dozen ships in the area. Two were sabre class, the USS Stow and the USS Gwinn were out on patrol near the edge of the system. The Norway- Class USS Medina was standing station near the starbase. In addition to the federation ships, there were two ferengi freighters, one approaching the system and the other leaving. A small cardassian cruiser was also parked outside the station. There were two small ships, a design that was not known to the Europa were also parked near the starbase. There was also 4 star fleet runabouts in a local patrol around the station, flying in close patrol in pairs.
