Starbase 56

Starbase 56 was a Federation starbase that was operational in the mid-23rd century.

In 2267 Admiral Herbert Solow ordered Captain James T. Kirk to put in at Starbase 56 to receive a refit to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)'s weapons and deflector shields in preparation for war with the Klingon Empire. The Enterprise also took on new crew members following recent losses at Janus VI.
