First Starbase

First Starbase perches off-ship as the routine medical and logistical anchor for Starfleet vessels: docking rings and transfer berths frame a functional silhouette, while sterile sickbays, triage bays, and administrative wards hum with the quiet efficiency of institutional care. Crew members invoke it as the standard for clinical familiarity—Garrett notes she has never seen a sickbay like the Enterprise‑D’s, not even on a starbase—marking the station as a pragmatic, clinical reference point for treatment, transfer, and bureaucratic processing.
