Starbase 515

Starbase 515 was a planetary based Federation starbase in operation in the 24th century.

In 2365, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Wesley Crusher traveled to the base so that Picard could receiev a cardiac replacement at the base, and Wesley could take his Starfleet Academy entrance exams. (TNG episode: "Samaritan Snare").
