Outpost 4 on a star chart of the galaxy's Beta Quadrant.

Outpost 4 (full designation Outpost Satellite 4023) was one of a series of Earth Outpost Stations located along the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone in the S1423 star system. (ST video game: Starfleet Academy)

History and specifics[]

Outpost 4 was in the general vicinity of Mu Arae in the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. (ST reference: Star Charts)

The outpost was constructed on an asteroid that was composed of almost-pure iron, and was located a mile deep. By the mid-2260s decade, the outpost had a complement of 20 personnel, and was commanded by Commander Hansen. (TOS episode: "Balance of Terror")

In 2259, Outpost 4 was retrofitted with new matter synthesizers and given a complement of fully automated mining craft. (SNW episode: "A Quality of Mercy")

Late in the year 2266, the outpost was attacked by an unknown attacker, that was later revealed to be the Romulan Bird-of-Prey, ChR Gal Gath'thong. Despite the station's deflectors and the rodinium plating of the hull, the Romulans' plasma torpedoes were easily able to penetrate them and take out the outpost's weapons. Despite being challenged by the USS Enterprise, a second attack from the bird of prey completely destroyed the outpost. (TOS episode & Star Trek 1 novelization: Balance of Terror)

Alternate timeline[]

In an alternate timeline created by Christopher Pike when he avoided his exposure to delta radiation in 2266, he retained command of the Enterprise when the Romulans breached the Neutral Zone. Outpost 4 was destroyed in the same manner as it was in the primary universe, but the Enterprise managed to record the Gal Gath'thong destroying the outpost. When the Romulan fleet arrived, Pike displayed the recording of Outpost 4's destruction to the Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire in an attempt to have her diplomatically withdraw only for her to destroy the Gal Gath'thong for allowing itself to be seen. (SNW episode: "A Quality of Mercy")
