Revision as of 19:15, 21 February 2009
The Orbital office complex was a Starfleet starbase in orbit of Earth in the late 23rd century.
In 2272, Admiral Kirk was transported to the Enterprise for the first time in two and a half years via travel pod 05 from the orbital office complex. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Orbital office complex graphic
A graphic display of an orbital office complex appeared in the USS Defiant's library computer on several occasions during 2374 and 2375. (DS9: "Favor the Bold", "Sacrifice of Angels", "Tears of the Prophets", "What You Leave Behind")
The same graphic also appeared in the USS Voyager's library computer screen that was viewed by One after Seven of Nine had activated the drone's linguistic database, and allowed him to assimilate information. (VOY: "Drone")
A similar graphic was seen among the data that Seven of Nine assimilated in early 2376. (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy")
Background
The Orbital office complex was designed by Andrew Probert, and in this form, was only used in The Motion Picture.
According to Probert, 'the long copper cylinders' protruding from the top of the complex "were botanical tanks, so you could grow fruits and vegetables without needing soil, and that in turn would help supply your oxygen as well as some of the station's food. That was my thinking, at the time, but I'm sure they're probably too big for that, or whatever." [1]
Following The Motion Picture, the model was turned upside down, and modified for the Regula I base in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, from that reincarnation it was reused numerous times for Starbases in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. For more information see studio models.
The okudagram depicting the orbital office complex was originally sketched by Doug Drexler for the Star Trek Encyclopedia II.
