By 2384, the station would finally be made ready to be moved to its new home: the Chin'toka system.

A fleet of 2 Parliament and 4 California Class starships would tow the station at low warp from the Trivas system to its new home over AR-558 in the Chin'toka system.

- Modification of much of the promenade into exhibits and attractions as a part of the museum and memorial.
- Conversion of cargo bays into Exhibits and Archives.

24 months of restoration and modifications would follow including:
-The removal of all ore processing facilities.
-Removal of armaments.
-Inscription of names of allied personnel (including Cardassian resistance fighters) killed during the Dominion War along all inhabitable sections of the station.

O'Brien, who had visited the station once before- found that while station was in rough condition- squatters had briefly occupied the station- it's structural integrity was sound and all of its systems were repairable.

With the approval and assistance of the newly democratic Cardassian government, Empok Nor would be surveyed by both Starfleet and Cardassian engineers, with Master Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien heading up the project.

Empok Nor is nearly identical in most respects to its Sister.

It was felt that using Empok Nor would be a fitting tribute to the heroism of the Crew of DS9 and of the USS Defiant.

Eventually, Brigadier Kira Nerys, the commanding officer of Deep Space 9 would suggest the use of Empok Nor Station, the only remaining Nor-Class station still in existence.
Empok Nor having been abandoned by the Cardassian Government in 2370.

This plan would be scuttled following intense backlash and negative reaction from the Bajoran Government and residents of the station, including Starfleet officers, to the removal or retirement of the Station.

DS9 remains in service to this day.

So with that settled, now the question went to precisely what type of facility should hold the memorial.

The first suggestion would be the use of Deep Space 9 itself as the museum, as plans were then underway to replace the aging mining station with a brand new state of the art Starfleet facility.

Of course that was the easy part.

True to form, none of the powers could agree on precisely what type of memorial it should be.

A Planetside facility was ruled out because of the requirements of the museum ships, leaving only a spaceborn facility.

Shortly after the official end of the Dominion War, it was agreed that the last act of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance would be to commission a Memorial/Museum dedicated to the Dominion War.

In the end 1,356 officers and crew would give their lives in defense of the 700,000 people of New Massachusetts.

A large monument on New Massachusetts was constructed and dedicated to the honor of the "Scrap Iron Flotilla" and it's valiant defense of their world.

The 135th would engage in a costly and valiant defense of the New Massachusetts colony in order to buy time for help to arrive.
Of the 10 ships that made up the 135th only 2 would survive to be relived by a allied force led by the USS Nanjing, which drove off the remaining Dominion ships.

The 135th would proceed to New Massachusetts at maximum warp to defend the colony, finding itself both outnumbered and outgunned, nevertheless would engage the Dominion forces despite the odds.
