Starbase 12 was a Federation starbase in the Gamma 400 system and was close to the planets Mab-Bu VI, Pollux IV, Risa and the Ceti Alpha system. In 2167, Starbase 12 was under the command of Admiral Uttan Narsu. This starbase was located in the Beta Quadrant. (TNG: "Power Play")

In 2267, James T. Kirk originally set course for Starbase 12 with the SS Botany Bay in tow. (TOS: "Space Seed")

Later that year, after the USS Enterprise had been stopped by an unknown force, Captain Kirk ordered Lieutenant Nyota Uhura to relay the position and circumstances of the starship to Starbase 12. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")

In 2364, the starbase was inexplicably evacuated for two days. Starfleet Command gave no explanation for this action. Captains Walker Keel, Rixx and Tryla Scott saw this as further evidence of a conspiracy within Starfleet. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D underwent a one-week refit at Starbase 12, following its exhausting mission at Gemaris V. (TNG: "Captain's Holiday")

In 2369, when Lieutenant Aquiel Uhnari and Klingon commander Morag were believed to be coalescent organisms, these two were supposed to be brought to a secure medical facility on Starbase 12. (TNG: "Aquiel")
