Spaceport Devaloka[1] was a 31st century Federation space station, a spaceport[1] and relay station[2] in Starfleet service since before the Burn. (DSC episode: "That Hope Is You, Part 1")
History and specifications[]
This relay station was constructed at some point before the Burn cataclysm caused the detonation of all dilithium-powered active warp cores. (DSC episode: "People of Earth")
The station suffered damage during the Burn, presumably due to exploding fusion reactors. It was surrounded by wreckage of unnamed Federation starships. There was nobody left to clean up.
In the year 3148, Aditya Sahil took over as Federation liaison and operated as Starfleet's sole representative in an office aboard the station, despite never having been commissioned as an officer. While Sahil's father and grandfather had been Starfleet officers, nobody was around to commission him officially. Relying on the continued functioning of the station's programmable matter, Sahil followed a daily routine for 40 years.
Sahil had access to thirty sectors and two unnamed Federation starships within sensor range. (DSC episode: "That Hope Is You, Part 1")
In the 3180s decade, Chief Executive Officer Remington of Starbase Vanguard, formerly Starbase 906, was aware of Sahil and his work.
The courier Jeremiah retired to Level 4 of Federation Spaceport Devaloka. He opened the workshop Back Forty and tinkered with technological remains. (DSC novel: Wonderlands)
Meanwhile, the relay station was used as a waypoint by interstellar couriers. In 3188, the courier Cleveland Booker brought time-displaced Michael Burnham to this station. When she met Sahil, she identified herself as commander, and science officer of the USS Discovery. Commander Burnham commissioned Sahil as acting communications chief, with the mission to keep searching for Discovery. (DSC episode: "That Hope Is You, Part 1")
Burnham learned more about the Burn from Sahil, and began operating as a courier to gather additional intel. She was reunited with the Discovery in 3189. (DSC episode: "People of Earth")
