Earth Station McKinley

A shipbuilding and repair facility, Earth Station McKinley had a large orbital platform supporting several large articulated work arms, designed to service even the largest starships. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D was docked there for six weeks following the Borg invasion attempt in early 2368.^[1] Unknown to anyone at the time, a defective dilithium chamber hatch was installed in the Enterprise‘s warp drive system at McKinley Station. The hatch contained undetected submicron fractures that were responsible for a serious explosion in the engine room later that year.^[2] In Q‘s anti-time future, the U.S.S. Pasteur NCC-58928 canceled a scheduled stop at McKinley Station to proceed to the Devron System.^[3]
