Spacedock Module - Decks 42 though 161

One of the key components in the Citadel-class Starbase design is the addition of a dual hemisphere docking module, capable of serving even the largest ships in service. Starfleet vessels tend to dock within the top hemisphere of the docking bay, with larger civilian and alien vessels docking within certain areas of the lower hemisphere. In addition to space dock operations, various Starfleet offices extend through the core of the station in this section

Corvette Berthing and Maintenance Bays - Decks 162-168

Starfleet corvettes dock in a bay just underneath the massive interior-docking bay, while civilian corvettes are allowed to dock within the lower bay, which is built into the stem of the station. Construction and maintenance bays are included in this section for servicing corvette-sized ships as needed.

Puzzles Layout
By Lea Mazal

Ground Floor

Main Entrance/Exit

Puzzles has no windows, allowing its patrons a better view of the Promenade, however the structure is protected by shutters, that are only activated during an emergency and when the bar is closed.
When you enter, you can immediately see the bar area, which is made up of a large wall to wall counter, with about twenty stools in front of it. There are also small tables and extra seating for those who don't want to access the dining area.
Off to the right from the Bar, there is the large restaurant/dining area filled with tables and booths, with about five or so tables just outside the windowless area on a raised deck.
The ground floor is also where you can find the stage, dance floor, kitchen, Lea's office, store room, first aid station, bathrooms and two private function/dining rooms.
Stairs to the Upper Level

Upper Level

This used to be a Mezzanine floor until it was extended.
Here you can find two smaller bars, comfortable seating areas and extra dining space.
Towards the rear of this level, you can find the bathrooms, gaming area and the staff lounge.
