Cargo Processing & Storage

     The flow of goods on and off the station is governed by protocols established by the statues agreed to by the United Federation of Planets and the Bajoran government, and handled logistically by specialized crews working in 253 large cargo bays located in the Docking Ring, Docking Pylons, and crossover bridges.

     Since the movement and storage of cargo takes both commercial and military forms, separated processing is in effect. Commercial goods are handled primarily by civilian crews from Bajor and a loose affiliation of trading star systems.
