Changes: Starbase 11

Revision as of 19:11, 16 December 2014

The Enterprise in orbit of Starbase 11

Starbase 11 was a Federation starbase administered by Starfleet and six days away at maximum warp from the Talos star group. The base had repair and maintenance facilities for starships and at least some facilities were located on a planetary surface. In 2267, command of Starbase 11 passed from Commodore Stone to Commodore Mendez. (TOS: "Court Martial", "The Menagerie, Part I")

History

In 2267, the USS Enterprise diverted to Starbase 11, then under the command of Commodore Stone, in order to undergo repairs due to damage sustained during an encounter with an extremely powerful ion storm. While the Enterprise was there, Starbase 11 served as the site of a court martial against the vessel's commanding officer, James T. Kirk, the first such proceeding against a starship captain, for Kirk's apparent role in the death of Lieutenant Ben Finney. It was later discovered, however, that Finney was not, in fact, dead, but had rather faked his own death in an effort to frame Kirk. (TOS: "Court Martial")

Later that year, the Enterprise returned to Starbase 11, which at this point was under the command of Commodore Mendez. Although it had initially appeared as if Captain Kirk had received orders to divert to the starbase, subsequent investigation concluded that the facility had sent no such message, and that the orders were, in fact, forged by the Enterprise's first officer, Lieutenant Commander Spock, as part of a plot to gain access to Captain Pike, his former commanding officer, and illegally transport him to the forbidden planet of Talos IV. (TOS: "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II")

In 2369, this star base was named in the personal log of Lieutenant Keith Rocha, a network relay tech on Relay Station 47. His log transcribed on stardate 45455 was: "Spent most of the day recalibrating the new antenna array for Starbase 11. Ran several TB throughput tests, but we still can't seem to crack the median performance level. We'll try again on Friday." (TNG: "Aquiel", okudagram)

Resources and facilities

In addition to its starship repair facilities, Starbase 11 also housed a medical section with an intensive care area dedicated to the treatment of seriously wounded individuals. One of its patients was Fleet Captain Christopher Pike, who was left an invalid subsequent to exposure to massive amounts of delta rays. The starbase also maintained a computer center, at least one bar and court room, respectively, and at least one shuttlecraft, the Picasso. (TOS: "Court Martial", "The Menagerie, Part I")

Background Information

TOS generic planet 3a — The original planetscape

Starbase 11 was the first named starbase in Star Trek.

The name of the planet on which Starbase 11 was situated wasn't given in either episode. However, it seemed quite plausible that the base was on a moon of a larger, ringed planet, visible in the sky in "The Menagerie".

"Court Martial" and "The Menagerie" were not originally broadcast in adjoining weeks, but they were filmed back-to-back.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured two homages to Starbase 11. In DS9: "The Die is Cast", the background of Admiral Toddman's office is very similar and in DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars", the cover image of the Galaxy magazine was a homage to the matte painting from "Court Martial".

Apocrypha

According to the Star Trek Online tie-in novel The Needs of the Many, Commander Harry Kim became the chief of security of Starbase 11 in 2400 (the same year he would have become Captain of the USS Rhode Island and left for a four-year deep space mission in the alternate timeline depicted in "Endgame").

-According to "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart, the Talos star group, represented here on the map by Talos, was located in the Alpha Quadrant. As Starbase 11 was located near this cluster, the base was probably in this quadrant as well.
-"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Talos was located between the [[Tholian Assembly]] and [[Romulus]]. Both locations were identified in {{DS9|The Search, Part II|Call to Arms}} as being located in this quadrant. The chart, first seen chronologically in {{film|6}}, was also seen in several ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes set in the [[24th century]], from the year [[2364]] to [[2370]]. These were {{TNG|Conspiracy|The Measure Of A Man|The Emissary|The Mind's Eye|The Game}}, and {{DS9|In the Hands of the Prophets|Cardassians}}.
