Starbase1

Earth Spacedock, an iconic Federation starbase design.

A starbase is a type of outpost facility used by many spacefaring civilizations as a support base for starship fleets. Starbases can be comprised of both planetary installations, space stations, or a combination of both, and carry out many functions: scientific, strategic, diplomatic, service and supply, starship construction, and support for exploration, colonization and military operations.

History and specifics[]

The United Federation of Planets operated many starbases throughout and beyond its space. These could be administered by Federation civilian groups (such as member governments), Starfleet, and even non-member governments, or combinations there of, such as the Bajoran/Starfleet control of Deep Space 9. Federation starbases are considered free diplomatic zones, open to visitors from all planets.
