Starbase 2 was a Federation Starfleet starbase outpost, a space station located in the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant near Tammeron, Planet Q, O'Ryan's Planet and the Betreka Nebula. (ST reference: Star Charts)

History and specifications[]

Starbase 2 was built 2158 under the aegis of United Earth Starfleet. In the year, 2160, the base was attacked by the Romulans and successfully defended by USS Constellation. (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)

Situated along the travel path between Beta Aurigae and the Camus star system, Starbase 2 established itself as a premier medical facility and biological research base, starting around the 2240s decade. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

During the early 2240s, Commander George Kirk served as the base's chief of security. In 2243, Kirk was kidnapped from Starbase 2 at the order of Captain Robert April, who wanted his old friend Kirk to join him on a top secret mission aboard the prototype starship that would become the famous USS Enterprise. Their mission lead to an accidental crossing of the Romulan Neutral Zone while on a course to rescue a stricken Federation colony ship. (TOS novel: Final Frontier)

Starbase 2 was the first posting of Starfleet engineer Mahmud al-Khaled, prior to his joining the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. (SCE eBook: Foundations, Book Three)

In the year 2269, Aubrey Townsend served as the commanding officer of Starbase 2. (Last Unicorn RPG module: TOS Core Game Book)

In 2269, Starbase 2 ordered the Enterprise to investigate recent attacks on Outpost Hadrian and Altair VII by an unknown force. The Enterprise later discovered that the alien super-computer Nagha was responsible for the attacks. (TOS short story: "The Sleeping God")

The Enterprise returned to the Starbase later that year to deliver Janice Lester for transport to Elba II and take on supplies and crew before departing en route to Beta Aurigae to rendezvous with the USS Potemkin; earlier in the Camus II distress mission, Starbase 2 was a possible destination for the Enterprise to deal with Lester. (TOS comic: "Captain's Personal Log", TOS episode & novelization: Turnabout Intruder)

In 2270 , the Enterprise docked at Starbase 2 for shore leave following the attempted Romulan incursion on the planet Aritani. (TOS novel: Mindshadow)

At stardate 7539.1 USS Jefferson was ordered to escord Klingon Ambassador Karf from the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone to Starbase 2 in order to engage in peace negotiations. (ST video game: Tactical Assault)
