Outpost 4 was one of a series of Earth Outpost Stations located in Sector Z-6 along the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone, commanded by Commander Hansen. Outpost 4 was constructed a mile deep on an asteroid of almost solid iron.

In 2266, Outpost 4 came under attack by an unknown starship that was later discovered to be Romulan Bird-of-Prey. Although protected by full deflectors, the outpost was hit by a powerful high-energy plasma torpedo that completely blew out the outpost's deflector shield, as well as taking out its phasers and killing its weapons crew. The second attack by the plasma torpedo hit the outpost, unprotected, resulting in the base's disintegration. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")
