Starbase 85 was a Federation starbase, operational in the later 24th century. In 2368, the base was the destination of a delegation of Ysalanti, bound for diplomatic facilities on the base to negotiate peace following an age of Ysalanti militarism. The starship Enterprise-D delivered the Ysalanti after a difficult voyage, after Q visited the vessel and changed all of the Enterprise crew into Klingons. (TNG comic: "The Dogs of War")
