Deep Space 5 was a Federation Starbase in the Typhon sector. Originally designed as a standard Deep Space Starbase, it was converted into a military base with the primary purpose of serving as a first line of defense against the Borg. Deep Space 5 is constantly upgraded with the latest in sensor technology to scan for approaching Borg ships. (DS9 roleplay module: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Core Game Book)
As of 2370, DS5 was responsible for new ship development, along with Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Starbase 47, and the Federation colony on Iadara. (TNG episode: "Parallels")
In 2373, DS5 became the temporary home for thousands of Thallonian refugees after the fall of the Thallonian Empire. The station was packed to capacity, with even the conference rooms serving as shelter.
The so-called Thallonian summit was held on board the USS Enterprise-E while docked at the station. (NF novel: House of Cards)

Deep Space 5 was a Regula-type Federation space station active during the late 24th century. Located near Ivor Prime in the Typhon sector, among other duties, DS5 was responsible for starship development. Deep Space 5 reported the destruction of the Ivor Prime colony and the Borg incursion of 2373. (TNG: "Parallels"; Star Trek: First Contact; reference book Star Trek: Star Charts)
Later that year, DS5 became home to refugees fleeing the collapse of the Thallonian Empire in Sector 221-G. While undergoing repairs at the station, the USS Enterprise-E hosted the Thallonian conference. Admiral Edward Jellico was the station's commanding officer at that time. (NF novel: House of Cards)
Samson Glover commanded Deep Space 5 in 2365 and Jasmine Mendes was the station's operations chief in 2370. (Dark Territory)
Work on the prototype runabout USS St. Helens was "fine-tuned" at the station in 2385. (Star Trek: Pioneer (PNR): "Something Kinda New")
Deep Space Five was the central Federation base of operation in the Oralian sector. During the Coalition War, Deep Space Five became the center of all war effort operations and was the base from which the Third Fleet launched.
During the beginning of the war, Coalition forces ambushed the station during the Battle of Deep Space Five. ("In Custody")
