(Temporary Military Outpost- Main Hangar)
There was a strict procedure to be followed during wartime.
Any starship that participated in a battle that was located in enemy territory must be carefully screened and checked upon re-entering Federation controlled space.

There were numerous cases in the past of alien races infiltrating Imperial Army starships or even planting dangerous toxin bombs or explosives onboard the vessels.

It was a continuous flow.
Every few minutes a beam of green light would be emitted from the metalloid devices suspended high above on the ceiling.
