Colony planets play an important role in the stability of the Federation. They are an important source of raw materials, bases from which Federation space is defended, as well as launching points for further exploration of the Galaxy. Serenity is just such a planet—third planet in the New Canada star system, situated in the hotly contested region of space beyond the Briar Patch Nebula, home to settlers who constantly struggle to avert disaster.
Twenty years ago, in response to unceasing raids by remnant Son'a and Jem'Hadar factions, as well as the growing threat of invasion by the upstart Mulluran Empire, Starfleet entered the Trans-Briar Patch theater and established an orbital starbase/supply depot above Serenity called Starbase 901 to serve as a port from which to launch their defense. War with the Mullurans was inevitable, but Starfleet was well-prepared, and thanks to the valiant efforts by the crew of the Starbase as well as the sympathetic G'kra Republic, the Mullurans were routed and the space around Serenity was liberated.
The current situation in the Serenity Sector is still far from stable however. Son'a renegades continue to harass Federation assets, and Nausicaan and Ferengi pirates continue to raid legitimate shipping. Starfleet has replaced Starbase 901 with the smaller Supply Base 901 orbital facility, and continues to maintain an extensive ground-based depot and Marine training facility. Elsewhere on Serenity, and the Serenity system in general, the hardy settlers continue pursuing their livelihood as best they can in this frontier outpost on the edge of known space.
