Norkan outposts

The Norkan outposts were a number of Federation outposts built near the Romulan Star Empire.

The outposts were built in response to intelligence reports that indicated a Romulan military build up and the fear of an invasion. The Romulan's viewed this with suspicion seeing them as a possible staging ground for a Federation attack on the Star Empire.

When no Romulan invasion occurred the importance of the outposts waned. Years after they were constructed they were destroyed during the brief Norkan Campaign. Undermanned and outdated from years of neglect the Romulans easily destroyed the outposts and killing their personnel. (: "For the Federation")
