Lt. Haukea-Willow: The Vincent van Gogh of Holophotography
Aly Drolet
Haukea, while having struggled with several intense emotions as of late, consciously, in an effort to reduce her stress levels, rekindled an old hobby; searching the Starbase 118 Operations guidebook for suitable picturesque holophotography locations. Noting the following in her research:
Starbase 118 Operations Guidebook
The Night Garden is situated on the promenade of Starbase 118 Operations among its various bars, restaurants and night clubs. Run by Betazoid Lillian Havnor, the Night Garden boasts a variety of Federation member plants, flowers, and tree species, along with a spectacular selection of night blooming flora.
Among the many districts on Starbase 118, none are likely more iconic than the San Francisco District, which seeks to replicate the unique features of the United Federation of Planets’s founding world, Earth; through a New Orleans inspired aesthetic.
Recognizable sights include various sports stadiums, concert arenas, parks - such as Federation Park - and even a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge. While neighboring districts are the Shi’Kahr District, Hong Kong Sub-district and the Mak’ala District.
The Ashalla District, placed in the lower left quadrant of the main dome, possesses a distinct likeness to the capital city of Bajor, and seeks to replicate the balmy temperature of the planet. Likewise, the Ashalla District contains several tranquil spaces of natural greenery and retreat, through the use of temples - such as the Temple of the Prophets - St. Paul’s Cathedral and a handful of small bodies of water.
While technically a sub-district, Little Risa is considered Starbase 118’s own slice of paradise. Modeled after the Federation's own pleasure planet, Risa, its name sake contains several artificial beaches, clubs, restaurants, resorts and residences.

Furthermore, in an effort to connect with the crew, and to avoid isolation as a response to aforementioned emotional struggles, Haukea called upon S’zurak, wanting to introduce herself, and show him the Station.
