Relay Station 47

Relay Station 47 was a remote Starfleet communications station near the Klingon border in the late 24th century. Most of the operations of the station were automated, although a two-person crew provided for nonroutine operations and maintenance. A network of such stations throughout Federation space permitted interstellar communication between distant points with much shorter time lags than unboosted subspace radio transmissions would require. Lieutenant Aquiel Uhnari, assigned to RS47 in 2369, was under investigation for the murder of her crewmate, Lieutenant Keith Rocha, shortly after her assignment to the station, but she was soon exonerated.^[1]
