In emergency situations, like other Hospice-class stations, the base is capable of supporting large numbers of personnel and has enormous areas dedicated to conversion to emergency medical suites.
The peaceful origins of the station did not prevent a massive overhauling of the basic defensive grid for the starbase, however. When the base was redesignated a fleet command starbase, the weaponry was massively upgraded.

| Deflector System | FS-4 Starbase deflector system* | |
| Relative power output | FS-4/FD-12 = 50 Regeneration rates on station shields are also correspondingly larger | |
| FD-12 are the shielding systems used on Federation Battleships of the Zeus-class. Station shields are usually divided into semi-independant and overlapping sectors. Starbase Rapture has 24 sectors approximately 1200m long, divided into quadrants around the station. It is possible for shields to fail in a single quadrant and to cover quadrants with weakened extended shields from neighboring quadrants. | ||
