Surplus Depot Z15
Surplus Depot Z15 is a Federation surplus depot operated by the Zakdorn. The facility was responsible for salvaging useful components from decommissioned vessels before storing them in the depot.
In 2368, the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D investigated debris that had been linked to a Vulcan starship, tasked with determining the fate of the vessel. They discovered that the Vulcan ship was missing, with evidence pointing towards it being taken by force. The navigational deflector, the source of the debris, had already been given to a holding vessel for the depot.
The Enterprise powered down, and laid in wait for the smugglers, setting a trap.
When the smuggler vessel]] arrived, the Enterprise attempted to hail it, but the exchange of fire that resulted, along with the vessel's large weapons cache, caused it to explode. It was later linked to a Ferengi arms trader, who had taken the Vulcan ship from the depot, and sold it to an intermediary to be used in an invasion of Vulcan by the Romulans.
