starbase
Fictional orbital hub
A starbase is a space station serving as a military or logistical hub in science fiction, particularly in the Star Trek universe.
Starbases function as ports for spacecraft, combining the roles of naval base and airport: The fleet returned to starbase for repairs and resupply.
The term sometimes appears in video games and speculative discussions of future space infrastructure.
