Starbase 4 was a Federation outpost that was administered by Starfleet in the 2260s. The planets Ariannus, Marcos XII, and Triacus, and the Epsilon Indi system were located near this starbase.

The survivors of a Federation expedition to Triacus were transported to Starbase 4 by the USS Enterprise in 2268. (TOS: "And the Children Shall Lead")

Later in the same year, a shuttlecraft was stolen from the starbase by Lokai, a fugitive from the planet Cheron, two weeks before it was found by the Enterprise. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")
