Description
The Terminus Class Medical Station is a design by the BBC, and modified slightly by me. The USS Terminus [link] (the ship class is named after the station) is there for size comparison. And is to scale with these [link]Terminus Station is a very old design, that pre-dates the Federation by several centuries. Found at the other end of a recently discovered stable wormhole, Terminus had been a welcome find, with medical research well beyond current UFP knowlage.
After being being liberated from the corrupt corperation that had been using the station as a dumping ground for those inflicted with a form of leperousy, called lazars disease. The station had declared itself an independant "nation", and had been operating as such ever since. As an independant entity, they gladly applied for membership in the Federation, noting the UFP's affiliation with an "Alternate Earth". And has since become a member in goodstanding.
The Mayor-Administrator, Lady Nyssa Shade of Traken, has been in power for well over 30 years. And is well loved by her people. As is her husband, who heads their military.
Their daughter, Flight Lt. Hannah K. Shade, has become defacto ambassador, to the Federation, and Starfleet.

Nice! that station could dock a lot of med. ships!

Yup...But mostly support ships. Like shuttles, ambulances, and small single man fighters. She also employs several transporters called Trans-Matts.

could you draw a Trans-Matt?

As in transporters that beam people from place to place. Trans-Matt stands for Transportation of Matter.

neat, a mobile transporter pad?

Only mobile if it's on ships. A Trans-Matt, also referred to as a Teleport, is the "Doctor Who" version of the "Star Trek" Transporter.

I'm surprised the station's flag resembles a skull, considering it's a symbol of Death in many superstitions, and someone in need of medical care would regard it as an ill omen or something that brings bad luck.

In the "Doctor Who" story "Terminus", the skull was found EVERYwhere in the station. So it was figured it would be easier to just accept it, than try to hide it. Though, eventually most of them were covered, or altered. By that point Terminus was already to well known.

Shouldn't it have been a green circle?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you mean the Whoniverse version of the medical symbol? The green crescent moon in the green circle? You might find it IN the station. But the "flag" represents the station, itself. And the Federation banner represents the partnership, with the United Federation of Planets...It represents a non-canon crossover, as is said in the description.
Given the Crossover, the symbols, most likely to be seen (other than the Terminus skull symbols) are these...

I noticed a reference to the tv show m*a*s*h on the flag
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup. But, being located at the exact center of the universe, I thought it was apt.

so did they cure that lazars disease eventually?
π: 0 β©: 1
Depends on the universe, and what you feel is cannon...The televised program (Unknown)...The various novels (Maybe, and yes)...Big Finish audios (Yes).
I kept it in the prime universe (Televised). And moved forwards in my own view of how things could have gone. So, yes Lazars was cured. Terminus became, not only a proper hospital. But became it's own sovereign entity.

Ahh well in my headcanon then it was cured

Well, it would still be a "plague ship", if it hadn't.

What types of ships does their military maintain or do they mostly rely on Starfleet support? Β Very cool station by the way.
π: 0 β©: 1
Small support craft, such as shuttles, ambulances captshade.deviantart.com/art/T... , Single man starfighters, and volunteers. She can't dock larger ships, internally.
Of course, Starfleet's ships make the volunteers redundant. Terminus still maintains a volunteer fleet.

That's a Doctor Who Crossover! Good going!

Thanks...I hope you like the update, just as much.

Yeah, very old style pre-fab. But being from an early 80's story of Doctor Who, it's to be expected.
And thanks!

Flight Lt. Hannah K. Shade?
Cool.
Dad's profession, mom's devotion.

Yup. Set about 10 years after my story. She's become the first female Vanir. A pilot like her father. But a fisrt rate combat medic. The other Vanir have taken to calling her Valkyrie.
