Starbase 7

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Starbase 7 was a Federation Starfleet starbase, in particular one of the first such installations constructed, with a space station component incorporated into on an asteroid in the 2150s. (TOS novel: Crisis on Centaurus)

It is the only starbase in the Andor sector, located at a class K planet which orbits the white dwarf star CJ-884. It is the closest starbase to Andoria and is the official headquarters of the Starfleet 7th Fleet. It is also very close to the star systems Ejul Thelni and Alpha Centauri. It serves as a supply base for ships patrolling the Romulan border. (The Andorians: Among the Clans)

This base was designated as the headquarters for Starfleet Intelligence's intelligence sector 1, with an activities unit monitoring internal affairs. Bases that were under the command of Starbase 7's intelligence staff included those located at Alpha Centauri, Andor, Bardex III, Cerberus, Dadax, Darius III, Edos, Hurlin, Izar, Kadacohr, Koromond, MAO III, Maximilian, Tellar and Earth, as well as stations at Starbase 1, Starbase 4, Starbase 5, Starbase 6, Starbase 8, Starbase 16 and Starbase 24. Starbase 7 was the control base of Interstellar Import-Export, a Starfleet Intelligence front organization based in Flaxis on Alpha Centauri VII. This base also was the home assignment of the 23rd century's Chief of Starfleet Intelligence Dexter O. Armbruster. (RPG reference: Star Fleet Intelligence Manual)

[edit] Background

The Andorians: Among the Clans seems to contradict the statement that Starbase 7 is an asteroid, though this has been resolved here by theorizing the asteroid orbits the planet listed in Among the Clans.
