Aurelan Kirk (TOS-29)

Aurelan was the wife of George Samuel Kirk, Jr., with whom she had three sons.[1] While on Deneva with George and their son, Peter, in 2266, the colony was attacked by Denevan neural parasites. The Kirks were infected shortly before the arrival of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, commanded by George’s brother, James T. Kirk. George succumbed to the immense stresses placed on his body by the parasites before the family could be found by an Enterprise landing party led by Jim. Aurelan soon succumbed as well after being taken aboard the Enterprise, dying before a cure could be found.[2] Portrayed by Joan Swift.

ST11 Timeline

Aurelan Kirk was infected by the Denevan neural parasites during an attack on the Deneva colony in 2258.[3] When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 arrived soon thereafter, the Kirk family’s lives were saved thanks to the quick actions of the crew. When the crisis had passed, George introduced Aurelan and the couple’s only child, Peter, to his estranged younger brother, Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk.[4]

Farspace Starbase Earhart

A transitional station past Deneb in the Alpha Quadrant, Starbase Earhart served as a minor command post and replacement point for starships in the sector. Primarily a “hiring hall” for spacers of all kinds,[3] its lurid and seamy Bonestell Recreation Facility[2] was a great place to get a drink, a lover, a knifing, or all three.[3] Ensign Jean-Luc Picard spent some time awaiting his first assignment at Starbase Earhart after graduating from Starfleet Academy. Picard picked a fight with three Nausicaans who had been cheating at Dom-Jot, and was nearly killed when they stabbed him through the heart;[2] he required an artificial replacement organ from that day forward.[1]

Bar on K-7 (TOS-42)

One of nine space stations strung along the Klingon frontier between 2218 and 2293, Deep Space Station K-7 began as a strategic outpost.[3] Located one parsec from the nearest Klingon outpost, and near the disputed colony world of Sherman’s Planet, K-7 was tasked to help ensure the development of the world would favor the Federation under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty.[1] Most of K-7 consisted of storage areas and industrial fabrication facilities, and relatively little of the station was actually inhabitable.[2] By the terms of the Organian treaty, all frontier stations of both nations were open to each others’ traffic, which made K-7 a hub for spies and confrontation.[3] The Federation’s development project for Sherman’s Planet was threatened in 2266, when some 1,771,561 tribbles infested the storage bins of Quadrotriticale intended for the project, though this infestation ultimately helped uncover a Klingon sabotage attempt, as well as an undercover Klingon agent, disguised as a Human bureaucrat named Arne Darvin.[1] Unknown to anyone at the time, Darvin’s future self had traveled back in time from 2373 in an attempt to alter events and prevent his dishonor, but Starfleet personnel from his time prevented him from altering the timeline.[2] With the Khitomer Accords and the growing Federation-Klingon alliance, K-7 became a major transit point and meeting place for Federation and Klingon ships and personnel.[3]

STO Timeline
In 2409, K-7 remained in active service, although heavily upgraded over the decades, and found itself on the front lines of a renewed conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Commanded by Commander Naomi Wildman, K-7 was a focal point for Starfleet ships entering sectors under active dispute between the two powers.[4]

Starbase 514

Located near the Cardassian border on the edge of the Badlands, this survey station was relatively well-armed, having suddenly been uprated during the Dominion War, though much of the base’s armament was automated and its military staff withdrawn after 2375, and Starfleet considered turning it into a supply station for expeditions into Cardassian space or even a scientific command post for voyages through the Bajoran wormhole.[2] The science vessel S.S. Vico was assigned to Starbase 514 at the time of its destruction in 2368.[1]

Starbase 343

A medical supply station near Deneb, Starbase 343 found itself dealing with the Ferengi more than most Starfleet posts. Since Starfleet paid honestly, in credits, Ferengi anywhere in the region would take medical supplies, biological samples, or anything else that looked vaguely scientific there for resale. Due to the volume of traffic, the harried administrative staff couldn’t always keep track of everything, and the inventory lockers contained all manner of weird items “found on an empty planet” by Ferengi traders.[2] In 2365, following the completion of its mission to Acamar III, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D traveled to Starbase 343 to take on medical supplies for the Alpha Leonis System.[1]

Starbase 315

A thriving commerical and traffic hub in the BeTau sector, deep in Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant, Starbase 315 did it all. Its supply station fell under Federation Merchant Marine rather than Starfleet jurisdiction; built in the 2320s, its spacedock facilities were too small for any ship larger than an Ambassador class vessel.[1]

Starbase 234

Starbase 234 (TNG-208)
Starbase 234 (TNG-208)

A crucial strategic base along the Klingon frontier,[4] located near the Triangle,[3] Starbase 234 dated back to the Klingon-Romulan crisis of the 2340s.[4] During the Klingon Civil War of 2367, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D led a task force, formed by taking every ship in Starbase 234’s spacedock and every ship within a day’s travel from the starbase, to blockade Romulan forces that were secretly supplying the House of Duras.[1] Not long after the war had concluded, the Enterprise crew met with Admiral Brackett at Starbase 234 before proceeding with an investigation into the disappearance of Ambassador Spock.[2] Starbase 234 received a massive upgrade following the Klingon Civil War, and became a crucial liason and command post during the Dominion War; its spacedock could support an entire fleet for months.[4]
