History and specifications

In the year 2270, the starship USS Enterprise traveled to Starbase 21 after its encounter with Kukulkan. (TAS episode: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth?")

A station of this designation remained active after the Burn and into the 32nd century. By the 3180s decade, its location was marked on a holographic star chart in the command center of the Federation Headquarters space station. In 3189, Starbase 21 was on display on that star chart during a mission briefing held by Fleet Admiral Charles Vance. (DSC episode: "Scavengers")

Soon after stardate 2258.42, the USS Enterprise was ordered by Admiral Deigaro to ferry Ambassador Sarek and his entourage from Akiron, where the diplomat and the crew responded to a distress call, to Starbase 21.
