Starbase 178

Starbase 178 was a Federation starbase operated by Starfleet in the 24th century.

By the early 2370s, the USS Yorktown (Constitution class) was docked at the starbase and served as a museum, and continued many 23rd century museum pieces such as the original bride module of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and the cloaking device stolen from the ChR by Captain James T. Kirk.

Following Spock's capture by Romulan soldiers on Constanthus in 2371, Montgomery Scott travelled to the starbase and managed to "borrow" the Yorktown. Equipping her with the still functioning cloak, Scott sets off for Constanthus. En route, the Yorktown meets with a shuttlecraft from the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), and together then engineer Spock's escape. ({{n|TNG|{{nd|Crossover}})
