Information on Auron:
Auron Colony
The planet Auron Colony has seven established settlements, including a main settlement, a Latin settlement, a Betazoid settlement, a Tellarite colony, an Andorian colony in the southern polar region, a Trill settlement, and a Bajoran colony. It is also the home to Ft Patton Marine Base and Training Camp. It has three major continents, one northern, two southern, the northern continent having a subcontinent on it located in the tropical region of the planet. There are five oceans, rather large ones as there are only three continents, and a number of islands. One southern continent reaches from 33 degrees south latitude to the pole, where the Andorian settlement is. The other is mostly in the temperate and tropical part of the planet, the tip crossing over into the northern hemisphere (5 degrees north), but not enough to say it cannot be counted as a southern continent. There are 4 deserts (Valley of Death, Havara, Kilgara, and Black Valley which got its name by its color) and many rivers, with lots of lush farmland, woodlands and grasslands. The Appilica Mountain Range is the highest mountain range, leading from desert on the western part of the southern continent to grasslands. The Pilon Mountains on the Northern continent run north-south on the western part of the continent and change the climate from semi-arid grassland to forests. The Janilan Mountains on the other side run east-west and are lower than the Pilons, although the Appilicas are the highest mountain range on the planet. The Janilans cut the temperate forests north of them to grasslands south of them. The last mountain range is the Kalin Mountains on the smaller southern continent, and changes the climate from grassland to jungle. The beaches have white sand and clear blue oceans, occasionally having cliffs to dive off or ride a car or motorcycle on the roads on the face of some of the cliffs. The local wildlife are abundant and very tasty and are sometimes served as entrees at the local restaurants. The hides, however, are not to be desired to say the least for being coarse, and hard to get the smell out and make a profit. The local shrimp and oysters are some of the colony's best exports, along with the produce that the farmers grow.
The main settlement
The main settlement is a group of farmers from many different planets who decided to stop trying to find farmland in the overpopulated Federation worlds and set out into the colonial areas to make a new home. Now, it has grown to be a full size town with several shops and 3 restaurants. No matter how big the town becomes however, they never lose their farming identity. The different species in the main settlement include human, Vulcan, Trill, Caitians, Bolians, Betazoids and others. This is the main spaceport aside from the station, and the one Starfleet officers generally come to when they want some R&R. The mayor of the main settlement is K'roawmin Hrress (Caitian, F)
The Latin settlement
The Latinos came to Auron with people from Argentina, Bolivia, and southern Mexico. The purpose of the colony was to get away from typical Federation life and get back to Latin values: Dios (God, or Christ), family, and home. There is a pool and dance hall and a restaurant in the settlement along with a dance studio which is frequented by the starbase personnel. It is located near a river and it is in a very green area as it is mostly farmland. The mayor of the Latin settlement is Juan Carlos Enrique Valdez (Human, M)
The Betazoid settlement
The Betazoids came to Auron to create a place where travelers could enjoy themselves and so created an amusement park complete with games and rides. Outside the park is a town where the people make their homes. There are shops and a couple of diners including one for romantic evenings. The mayor of the Betazoid settlement is Tamera Hadren (Betazoid, F)
The Bajoran settlement
The Bajorans wanted to get back to a simpler life and raise their crops, so they came to Auron, a new colony world and brought with them kava, moba and other crops as well as animals to raise for food and for export. Auroni shrimp and oysters are valued in that part of the galaxy. There is no mayor of the Bajoran settlement, but rather a council of elders which votes on issues pertinent to the colony.
The Andorian settlement
The Andorians live in the southern polar region of Auron and keep mostly to themselves. They enjoy fishing and hunting in their wintry home and occasionally come and say hello to the neighboring settlements. The leader of the Andorian colony is Sharen Kilfaen (Andorian, M)
The Trill settlement
The Trills settled on the tropical northern subcontinent near the ocean to be fishermen and farmers and hopefully to get away from the competition of symbionts. The colony is a town now, complete with an inn and pub and a little cafe. It is one of the only pure unjoined Trill settlements in the Federation. There is no leader of the Trill settlement, but rather a council of elders, similar to the Bajoran colony.
Ft Patton Marine Base
Ft Patton is the main Marine installation in five sectors and the closest Marine training facility. It is currently under construction, and will be under the command of Col Earl Fischer.
There is a Tellarite settlement which more information is coming on.

Starbase 14
Certainly looks interesting, though I'd like to make a few suggestions if I may;
Firstly, I doubt something as large as an Excalibur would be assigned as a garrison vessel unless the entire crew and captain were reassigned to the starbase/colony and Starfleet figured the ship may as well stay with them. Rare circumstances, and likely to only happen to the crew of a smaller ship, such as the Jackal to SB332 situation.
I'd also like to suggest a commingled Federation colony, likely as the main spaceport (perhaps the starbase itself, since a starbase can be a ground installation?) While I love the idea of singular cultural settlements like you've lain out, I dont think the federation is as secular anymore in that the planet would be completely colonised in such ways, and I figure that a federation colony as the capital would be a good way to round it off nicely

Re: Starbase 14
Have some pictures of it done an Ethereal just for this, but would prefer the other one:

So far the only surface pic I have, and it's been used as a mission image.

Re: Starbase 14
I have changed it to include a main settlement which is mixed of several races and to include an Ethereal class starbase and a Defiant class garrison ship instead of an Excalibur. I didn't know if you knew the changes were made, so I am reposting it here.

Re: Starbase 14
I wish I had that kind of info for 218 Still need a lot of work on my Dakara background even though I have the crew numbers for the planetary base as well as some facilities
