For years, a very large station was needed for remote areas of space that need more then what a Space Dock class could supply. Variants to the Space Dock and Regula were designed to try and fill the gap, and while they did their jobs well, they still weren't what was needed. Finally, in the late 2360s, a new proposal was submitted. Originally designed to be more the 50% larger then the Space Dock, the Immense class starbase was scaled down to a approximately 25% larger so that it could support several vessels at a time, house and store plenty of supplies and provide a good defense position to protect Federation interests as an outpost-type station. |

Final re-designs complete, AFY sent two construction teams to begin work on the first of the new space stations, Deep Space Seven, which replaced an older Regula facility near by. Assigned to command DS7 was Brigadier General Thompson of the Seventh Fleet. | Final re-designs complete, AFY sent two construction teams to begin work on the first of the new space stations, Deep Space Seven, which replaced an older Regula facility near by.

Two are replacing aging Space Dock starbases, while the other three are being built in new sectors. One of the most useful sections of the Immense is it's vast Diplomatic Facilities. Unlike the Space Dock class, the Immense class has no less then twenty Diplomatic meeting rooms with one hundred VIP quarters. This allows the Immense to service as location for meetings between the Federation and other powers, first contact discussions, and even fleet briefing areas during times of war. |
With the expansion of the Federation, the Immense class is poised to be at the fore front of Federation space. Servicing as a place to hold meetings with new species as well as deep space stations for starships on deep space and exploration missions, while at the same time holding the line and protecting the Federation itself. | With the expansion of the Federation, the Immense class is poised to be at the fore front of Federation space.
