Starbase 4

Starbase 4 was initially constructed in the late 22nd century to support Federation colonial efforts. Starbase 4 eventually became an administrative center for the Lyris Corridor between Tellar and Deneb. During the Federation's great expansion into the Alpha Quadrant during the early 24th century, Starbase 4 became a testbed for terraforming and replicator technology. It has temporary quarters with full life-support for over a quarter of a million people (one of the largest orbital settlements in the Federation) and remains one of the most cosmopolitan places in Starfleet.
