Starbase 18

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Starbase 18 was a Federation starbase with a space station constructed by the Hamalki, 200 million kilometers from their homeworld, Alpha Arietis IV. Starbase 18 was home to the Hamal Shipyards. An oblong space station, Starbase 18 was cigar-shaped and built with elaborate golden spires and architecture. James T. Kirk found the design very alien, styled with crystalline objects and mirror finish metal surfaces. In the 2270s, the station was commanded by Commodore Katha'sat.

In 2275, the USS Enterprise went to the station to be refitted with the inversion drive. (TOS novel: The Wounded Sky)

In 2278, the Enterprise again stopped at the station to receive supplies for the Vesta V Colony. (TOS novel: Deep Domain)

In 2360, William Riker received his orders to be assigned to the USS Yorktown while on the Starbase 18 station. The Yorktown arrived a short time later. (TNG novel: Ghost Ship)

Also in 2360, the USS Starbound stopped at the station. At the station, the chief engineer of the Starbound told a group of Orions about the Starbound carrying dilithium cargo and its intended destination. (TNG novel: Survivors)
