Starbase 5

Starbase 5 was a Federation facility constructed in the early 22nd century, and was originally in service to the United Earth Space Probe Agency.

In the late 2140s, a major conference regarding the future of human spaceflight was held at the base. At the conference, Dr. Milton Kornheiser stated that warp factor 4 would be the fastest speed that any warp capable vessel would be able to achieve. (Reference book: Spaceflight Chronology).
