General OverviewEdit

Vanguard was the name given to Starfleet Starbase 47[1]. It was a Watchtower-class station constructed by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers between 2263 and 2265 in the Taurus Reach, a region beyond Federation space, between the Klingon Empire and the Tholian Assembly. It was declared fully operational on stardate 1271.4. (VAN novel: Harbinger)

In 2266, Vanguard's crewmembers worked in three duty shifts: Alpha shift was from 0700 to 1500 hours, Beta shift from 1500 to 2300 hours, and Gamma shift from 2300 to 0700 hours. (VAN novel: Open Secrets)

In 2267, a Klingon fleet under Captain Kutal was immobilized by the Organians as it prepared to assault the station. Later that year, Vanguard suffered damage when attacked by the Shedai Wanderer. (VAN novel: Precipice)

In 2270, the USS Enterprise was meant to be one of several Federation starships assigned to protect Starbase 47, following the rising tensions with the Klingons following the alleged attack by the Enterprise on the Klingon outpost on Tarnak II. (TOS comic: "The Chosen")

By 2343 the designation of "Starbase 47" had been transferred to another facility near Cardassian space. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible)

Vanguard had at least 92 docking bays for vessels of varying sizes. The four main bays in the primary hull could accomodate starships up to the size of the Constitution-class, while the others catered for smaller ships and shuttlecraft. Bay 92 was large enough to service Cervantes Quinn's Mancharan starhopper, Rocinante. (VAN novel: Harbinger)
