In the shot, which follows after the Enterprise leaves the station, we see at best 50% of the station has been destroyed. This 50% constitutes the area where the Enterprise was docked. The computer core and the second docking structure are untouched. Or, at slightly damaged at worst. The station would appear to have blast doors capable of protecting the more critical sections of the facility from destruction.
My question is this, what happened to this station later? This station would come to lie in what is Federation space. Did the Federation study the facility for information as to its origins, or did they place quarantine beacons around the station warning vessels of its dangers, or did they destroy the facility?

Well obviously they didn't study it, because if they did, the Federation would have had TNG style technology 200 years before TNG.

Think about it. If this station collects lifeforms, it'd have some tribbles. And the Klingons wiped them all out. Probably destroying the station in the process.

The latest issue of the official magazine contains a cutaway of a tribble. It is neat. Mostly intestines/stomach and uterus.
Great episode. Though I really wonder how'll they'll handle someone actually dying, since they sort of spent that "first death" currency here. Phlox is the best.
And while we're making random and mostly nonsensical claims (It was the Borg! Soylent Green is people!), did anyone else wonder if maybe the last users of the station happened to be Breen?

Whoah! Extra-cool "I didn't think of that" points for you!

that would be cool, if the Breen lived in a liquid helium environment. could anything live in that? maybe liquid helium is the "storage" mode of the station. mothballed, perhaps...

Breen can survive extremely cold tempatures, and perfer them. But didnt Weyoun say that thier planet being cold was just a rumor, and its quite tropical?
As for the Breen using that station last, did enterprise just keep heading out into the Beta quadrent after returning the Klingon to Qo'noS? It looks like they did. Klingons, Romulans, Breen?
Im almost sure the ship in Silent Enemy was Breen.

That ship was symmetric in shape,and its owners had heads too big to fit inside the DS9-era Breen helmets, and spindly limbs. Apart from that, it could be a Breen appearance.
Whether they'd be in the Beta direction... Well, they have butted heads with both the Cardassians and the Romulans. The former are an Alpha race exclusively. The latter have also been called an Alpha race, even if they share a border with the (partially) Beta Klingons. I'd thus place the Breen somewhere on the Alpha side.
