The Starbase 9 planet was an otherwise unnamed planet that hosted Starfleet's Starbase 9 in the 23rd century.
History and specifics[]
The planet had at least two continents and some oceans. It was located near the borders of the space of the Miaplacidan Alliance. (TOS comic: "The Quality of Mercy")
Starbase 9 was constructed there in the 22nd century, located somewhat near Sector 001. (ST comic: "Who's Who in Star Trek, Issue 2")
In 2260, the Federation starship USS Eagle visited Starbase 9 and the Starbase 9 planet. (TOS comic: "Star-Crossed")
In the 2270s, Starbase 9 CO Commodore Markessan resided on the starbase's planetside facility with his family. In 2274, his son Tak Markessan fled the planet in a one-man transport toward the Miaplacidan Alliance. Three days later, the USS Enterprise visited the planet, where more than half the crew disembarked. Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott was given a cloaking device to install, and then the Enterprise proceeded on a covert mission to recover Markessan. (TOS comic: "The Quality of Mercy")
