What little I recall of Aslan's past discussion of the background is this: Paradise Station is a trading outpost on the edge of Breen and Tzenkethi space. It was founded and originally operated by a Ferengi who, having made his fortune during the Dominion War, sold the station to a consortium of local minor governments. Due to problems with the Orion Syndicate, that consortium asks the Federation step in and take over administration of the station. Desiring just such an outpost, from which Breen and Tzenkethi activity along the border could be monitored more closely, the Federation accepts. Enter Starfleet.
