Vanguard: Harbinger has a centerfold of the station: Vanguard, Starbase 47, is a Watchtower class station, with drydock facilities and stuff. There is almost no canon information on these stations, but lets see what we can rope in from non-canon. When this model was used for a Starbase on TNG, the Galaxy Class Enterprise fit through the doors, despite being more than twice as wide as the Excelsior. The most obvious example of this is Spacedock: a Constitution Class nearly filled the doorway, although an Excelsior Class fit as well. There are many different kinds of Starbase and station, and often the same model is used in a way that shows it to be a different scale.
Their matter conversion technology is at a level where this could be applied anyway. I would personally prefer for those to be around for at least 250 to 300 years before being phased out.Ĭertainly though, SF could likely use the existing starbases to simply modify them into new ones. The Mushroom-Starbase design seems quite durable and it would be a shame they remain in service for only about a century. What I wonder though, if SF will create even larger ships than the Galaxy class (internal volume wise) in the future. only modified with sufficiently large doors to accommodate the Galaxy class ships.
What I wouldn't be surprised over if the starbases in TNG are actually the same size as the ones seen in Kirk era movies. It is after all the closest thing to a city in space, with all the necessary ship production/repair facilities available.Ī couple of thousand, or even up to 10 000 could be the number of SF personnel (if we are talking about filling it up to the capacity), with everything else being civilian population. Click to expand.Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the overall population on one of those bases would be close to a million.
