Starbase 515

Orbital Medical Facility and Emergency Medical Response; Starfleet Clinical Support and Critical Care Coordination

Description

Starbase 515 is a Federation orbital medical and emergency-response/support installation. The consolidated record describes an orbital clinical coordination node with an advanced surgical suite staffed by surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and a biomolecular physiologist; it accepts and triages critical cases, issues emergency summons, commands immediate reporting for severe casualties, coordinates ship-to-station transfers, and contacts external specialists when cases exceed onboard capability. It operates in close operational partnership with nearby Starfleet vessels and functions as an authoritative external medical authority for urgent clinical treatment and personnel transfer.
