History and specifications[]
By the early 25th century, the Kinbar system had become another major trading hub in the region. In the 2410s, the Hierarchy operated a trading station in orbit of Kinbar VIII and begun to exploit Kinbar XII for mining operations but the Overlookers did not colonize any of the other worlds in the system.

In 2410, the Hierarchy station acted as intermediary between visiting parties, including Hazari, Turei and Talaxians. The Voth acted as escorts because the Turei were a Voth protectorate. Trade was conducted by using Mislenite freighters of various configurations. They made tempting targets to Vaadwaur, Malon and Hirogen raiders and pirates. In that year, a Delta Alliance starship arrived and offered to escort some of the convoys in an effort to foster goodwill and gain additional members for the alliance. Attacks from pirates were repelled by the joint Alliance-Voth forces, thus accomplishing the mission. (STO - Taking Care of Enemies mission: "Tempting Targets")
