Isolation bay

An isolation bay, or quarantine, is an area on a starship, starbase or other vessel or facility where medical officials quarantine a person or people with communicable diseases to prevent their spread among uninfected people.

In 2372, the USS Cantabrian's isolation bays, located on deck 4, were severely damaged in battle with the Myhr'an. (: "Catalyst, Part One") When Captain Noel Turner was infected with Caldean Acute Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (CACS) a few weeks later, he could not be transported back to the Cantabrian due to the isolation bays being damaged. (: "Isolation")


 * Isolation bays were used aboard the Cantabrian and other starships as a last ditch effort to keep highly infectious patients aboard the ship but away from healthy people. CACS appeared to be a disease that could not be quarantined with a quarantine field and/or styrolite.
