  • Shadowstar Station (SFR-721) (also known as Station Salem-One) was a United Federation of Planets facility active from the late 23rd century to at least the early 25th century, though it was briefly abandoned in the mid-24th century. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station) The Orion Press and The Starfleet Museum continuities have Station Salem-One as the site of the Romulan ambush (akin to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor) that precipitated the Earth-Romulan War. (Orion Press: "Popcorn", The Starfleet Museum Timeline) It was a modified Salem-class space station located near both the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. In late 2286, Shadowstar Station's construction was authorized by the Federation Council's Military Staff Committee. Its design was based on the Salem-class station (most of which mark the perimeter of Tholian Assembly space); one of its contractors mistakenly referred to the station in media interviews as Station Salem-One, which lead to confusion on a few occasions. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: Timeline) The short duration -- a matter of months -- between authorization of construction and commissioning would suggest that core parts of the station were prefabricated and towed into the Beta Miranda system, and that construction work on the station continued for years after commissioning. The station's original raison d’être was to serve as primary customs house for commercial traffic in and out of Triangle space. Years later, it would serve as a coordination center for at least one Starfleet Intelligence operation and then as headquarters for a flight test team.
