Starbase 14 was a Federation Starfleet space station, a K-class starbase located near the planet Styris IV, in the vicinity of the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TOS - The Chosen comic: "Blood Enemies")
History
Starbase 14 was a Starfleet facility constructed in the 22nd or 23rd century. (TOS comic: "Experiment in Vengeance!")
In the 2250s decade, the USS Endeavour was heading for Starbase 14, but failed to arrive and was presumed missing. (TOS comic: "Experiment in Vengeance!")
In 2269, the Metans attacked the station. When the USS Enterprise arrived to render assistance, only 74 of a crew of 5700 survived. The Metans attempted to frame the Romulan Star Empire for the act, to gain control of this region of space, but were thwarted by the Enterprise crew. (TOS - The Chosen comic: "Blood Enemies")
In the late 23rd century, Starbase 14 was the home of the 13th Pursuit Group of Scorpio-class corvettes. (FASA RPG module: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
In 2364, Starbase 14 coordinated the response to the outbreak of Anchilles disease that had gripped Styris IV. The base monitored the plague and reported the situation to the USS Enterprise-D, which was attempting to acquire a vaccine for the disease on Ligon II. (TNG episodes: "Code of Honor", "1")
In 2368, the starbase was contact point for regular updates from Dr. Marjorie Devarona's archaeological expedition to Rajatha Prime. When the expedition failed to make the scheduled contact the starbase altered the Enterprise-D to investigate. (TNG comic: "Captain's Pleasure")
