[@Jayjay-qe6um]

Manny Coto once commented that, if Star Trek: Enterprise had gone on to a fifth season, one episode of that season would have been called "Starbase 1". The installment would have depicted the origins of the first Starbase.

[@PongoXBongo]

That would fit ST:E's "unease with aliens" idea nicely. Keep them up and away from Earth, at least until thoroughly vetted.

[@SimianIndustries]

18:50 in, it's directly mentioned.

[@andjoa1975]

I absolutely love the view of the Enterprise from the conference room.

[@magnumserpentine6444]

Enterprise? Sorry but I didn't see ANY Federation Starship in any of the clip. I guess the latest ship (2010) would have to be Sovereign Class USS Enterprise but none of those ships look like ANY Federation ship. Sorry.

[@stevengalloway8052]

Yes, please! More Star Trek Starbases! 😊

[@TrekCentral]

You got it!

[@RossAndersonNM]

I am a firm believer "we are not alone in the universe",but,the concept of space wars,wellllll,not sure about that one.And,the "Yorktown" ,one can only guess how long it would take to build THAT one,lol.

[@Daginni1]

TBH, SB1 is brilliant for bringing forign dignitaries. If Starfleet can put terrain in orbit or a gas giant and make it work. Imagine what they can do for your people? "Join us". We'll do much more wonderous wonders together with your help.

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

I'd like to know what happened to the global elite ruling class that ran into their bunkers when the Vulcans came you know the USA the CCP the UK the elite I mean did they just agree to give up their power and let the rabble on the surface start this new government with these aliens this new world government I doubt it maybe they were afraid of the Vulcans maybe the Vulcans did have to intimidate them into you know playing nice finally now I don't think the Vulcans might do this but they might especially if they wouldn't like the Vulcans of Spock they might have saw the humans as something that they can harness that they could use the humans for soldiers they might have thought they could eventually incorporate humans into the Vulcan military as you know basic soldiers basic crewmen on their ships they they probably could you know figure out something about to fix the smell too so or they could just have it all them stay in certain parts of the ship and doing their jobs and staying out of the falcon parts like the Kardashians did on Terraria with the visuals you know they had to you know slave section in the master section of the space station I mean they could build a big or processing plant because the solar system would have had a lot of resources you know the Vulcans could have had you know humans mining resources in the solar system to make their ships they might have got a couple big starships out of Earth's wrong asteroid belt and the humans probably went along with this the Vulcans could have offered a lot of civilian technology you know to clean the Earth's environment of all the radiation to restore the Earth's environment

Good Morning Lieutenant Adam, I never miss anything from Trek Central because I am SUBCRIBED

[@Reepicheep-1]

LOVED the snow globe Yorktown station. Definitely need a breakdown of this one.

[@ArtistryBranson]

I've really enjoyed these breakdown videos, Adam. And as a vocal artist myself I have to tell you that yours is my favorite voice in the ST fan channel universe, so to speak. Our own Kelsey Grammar of Trekdom. Keep up the stellar work, Lt!

[@sifrost6869]

Starbase one is a great addition to the federation, and love to see how it has evolved so far, wonder what it looks like in 32 century?

[@ericandes4288]

I would assume with holodecks the best feature ( Real environment) would be eliminated or scaled down significantly

[@zephyr8072]

It was probably exploded by the galactic autistic screech of ultimate doom.

[@peterq1978]

it looks like the City Ships from Stargate too.

[@ArticWS]

It looks like the starbase's docks can hold much more than 8 starships at once. It looks like each dock (between the biomes) can hold 3 ships, at the very least. Which in total would make it 20 ships. And that's me being conservative. If the starbase can hold 5 starships per dock, which seems feasable given what we've seen of the docks in SNW, that'd be 30 ships.

[@secretyoutubers5510]

I actually prefer the Star Trek Beyond discribe by Bones McCoy as a 'damned snow globe in space'. It had artistry to it. Space dock because of the slowest chase sequence in movie history.

[@tflwulf69]

Yes more star bases, the sheer size of them really puts into focus the size of the star trek universe.

[@SephirothRyu]

In this episode, we watch as he has a breakdown and thus does a breakdown.

[@justinmickatavage7838]

You're awesome. You made space stations less boring.

[@jonmacdougall5908]

Starbase Statiions in the Star Trek world are always constructed at the closest engineering construction space yard to where it is to be deployed. All Starfleet Starbase Space Stations have warp cores/engines generate a warp field to move at warp speed to get it to the location where it needs to be. Generally the warp field stability allows a safe speed of Warp 2 and emergency speed of Warp 4 (no longer than an hour). Space Starbases have phasers and cannons tied to the warp core for added power, generally overcranking the weapon systems. The phaser banks always have a full 360 degree arc. They also had torpedo launchers appropriate for the time period. Domed parts of the station were always finished at the final location of the Starbase.

[@vortexgen1]

To settle the space dispute, you won't use just rock, paper, scissors, you work use rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.

[@martykarr7058]

The whole story of the domes makes me wonder if something along the lines of the movie "Silent Running" happened, but with a different ending.

[@theequalizer9154]

I saw the ad here for the new Quantum Leap. Looks good. I hope it is well written. Good vid about Starbase 1.

[@robertsparks3685]

Thanks for another great video. (I like your jokes.) Suggestion: Starship construction and maintenance facilities. Mars in Picard, Space docks in various series, and the space dock which was a trap in the Enterprise series.

[@xedanis101]

I've been prodding our creative team for a breakdown of the one and only Utopia Planitia. From your fingertips to their brains!!!

[@DavidicusMaximus]

I've always been fascinated by the idea of biomes to protect Earth's environment from destruction. From the movie Silent Running to the novel Phoenix Without Ashes by Harlan Ellison, it's a very cool concept. In the original Star Trek Technical Manual there are blueprints of a garden-like promenade in the giant orbital Starfleet HQ although there is no mention of it as a preservation effort.

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well informatively explained and executed in every detail way shape and form possibly provided indeed, It's a very nicely looking Starbase indeed, I only wish that the Eaglemoss model that I have had the cool agricultural domes with the Forrest and all which makes the Starbase look even cooler indeed👌.

[@jocknarn3225]

I’d like 2 c more made of these Starbases .. especially Starbase-1, its history, sheer architectural & technological scale, what defenses they mount or control, whether starbases interact with home-world orbital defence infrastructure. Yes an “Episode” featuring Star Base-1 would b fantastic .. make it .. BIG and FUN!

[@marktaylor6553]

Don't like open flames in space? I guess you have a lot of problems with Neelix _cooking with fire_ on Voyager. LOL

[@adamraddish]

I love these vids. so much new information ive never knowen. Hope we can see more

[@TrekCentral]

Always producing more! Let us know what you want to see :) - Jack

[@SA-xf1eb]

Chief O'Brian is the best. By far, my favorite character.

[@kineuhansen8629]

really hope we get to see more fedetation ships in strange new world and some legacy alien ship like romulan and classic design klingon ships

[@magnumserpentine6444]

I wish they would start making real Star Trek again, the last real Star Trek Series was Enterprise and Star Trek 10 Nemesis

[@andyf4292]

getting flashbacks to that 70's film, Silent running

[@seagullblackbeltacademy6333]

Great video! One of the best I have ever seen on any star trek breakdown. Oh and as a side note long live Babylon 5.

[@trekkieraccoon3343]

SB 1 kinda reminds me of the Millennium Gate from Voyager episode 11:59

[@DonDonP1]

Amazing vid!

[@TrekCentral]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brianpittman2913]

Look at the design of the tower at the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. I seen this 40 years ago and thought it looked like it belonged in space.

[@nadinesawtell3267]

The domes may have been saved by the contents use for terra forming and transported portions of it back to earth. They could have moved the domes to Mars or the Moon or moved them to the sol system ahead of the attacks by hostiles

[@randybaumery5090]

I like that design.

As a casual fan of star trek, seeing all this information in one video was both Very interesting, and made my head hurt a little. Loved this bit of LORE. Keep up the great voice acting.

[@stephendoherty8291]

Starbase1 is a combo of close encounters big mothership and valleyforge 70s film (see biospheres)

[@Karagianis]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the spire on top of the base appears to be a stylised representaion of an old style rocket ship standing on its stabiliser fins.

Cheers adam. There was several federation or United earth stations in the kyber belt , mining operations.

Yorktown was beautiful. I really loved Beyond, it was a much more 'Star Trek' movie than the two before it.

[@manricobianchini5276]

DS9 and Babylon 5 are the two best sci-fi shows ever made!

[@thedakotalogs]

Earth Spacedock is technically the newest space station in the federation now following Picard Season 3

[@terranempire2]

One thought on the inconsistencies is that Starbases could be a complex of multiple facilities. Meaning we could be seeing two different stations.

[@timhorn3829]

I’d like to see a video about the original star base one from the earth, Romulan war

[@beaver6d9]

We love your halfccent

[@AviationGuyMelbourne]

I loved this video try do the 32nd Century Federation hq AKA the USS Federation

[@billk1496]

Thank you, Ltd. Adam. Fun, informative video. And, I heard, somewhere, any craft or vehicle in space is effectively a space ship. So, don't worry. But, why would SB1 not have been part of our star system, before being moved in orbit of Jupiter? The solar system is remarkably defined and spherical. And extends to the boundary of the sun's heliosphere.

[@TiptronicSS]

Man, I hate it that I can't watch and follow the Pike series. I Already have Amazon, Netflix & Disney. It's not there like Picard, Lower Decks and all the oldtimers. Why because they want to sell me yet another streaming service? This is the kind of stuff that makes people not care anymore.

[@scpguy1381]

8:26 first starship?

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

I thought starbase 1 was originally built around Alpha C, as the transit hub after Zephrims warp flight there. It was the trading post and such until it got destroyed in the Romulan war, when they nuked it. Later a new starbase 1 was built around Jupiter.

[@ffnbbq]

Only in certain books. As I recall, this was never mentioned on screen (as was much of the events in the Romulan War).

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

@@ffnbbq first romulan war was fought with primitive nuclear weapons. zephrim's first flight to alpha c.. and such were all "mentioned" on screen in TOS.

[@magnumserpentine6444]

@@ffnbbq It was mentioned in Okuda (SP sorry) technical manuals (That they used as reference ) when they were shooting Star Trek the Next Generation and in official Paramount publications. Since CBS seized control, Star Trek went straight to the bottom of good shows.

[@Agent77X]

Did the Borg cube take StarBase One out and destroy it completely?

[@deksroning125]

Honestly, its not difficult to move a static starbase like this to a new location using Trek technology. All you need to do is apply a big enough subspace field to it to lower its inertial mass so it would effectively become lighter... then put a fleet of ships around it, all which would be projecting Warp fields onto it, along with tractor beams, and move the whole thing to a new location at Warp speed (the Warp speed might have to be lower though due to the size of the thing, but still). Alternatively, the starbase is likely modular, which means it can be moved the same way I described above in sections which only need to re-attach to the main thing.

[@jameslynch2399]

I want to see an in-depth breakdown of Starbase 80.

[@MaverickBlue42]

O'Brien saves DS9....still continues to suffer....it's almost like his continued punishment is inversely proportional to the good he does.....seriously, whenever he goes chaotic neutral things tend to calm down for him for a bit....

[@thanqualthehighseer]

If you look at the R'ongovian sail ship docked next to a certain constitution class ship. It looks remarkably like the aft of a Glorious Heritage class. The Andromeda Ascendant and Enterprise side by side.

[@thenotoriousDLB]

I had to scan the comments to see if anyone else had noticed what looked like the Pax Magellanic parked next to Enterprise.

[@northerncrisp]

The Andromeda would actually be much, MUCH larger than NCC-1701, even larger than Enterprise-D.

[@prodigal1970]

Kinda puts in mind how the Justice League Watch Tower should look in more realistic artistic rendering, very nice.

[@AudiaciousLife]

so reading up on it on memory alpha(dunno if canon but it quotes SNW) it says the environment pods were seed pods that were sent up during WWIII, I assume to save some of humanity by making sustainable habitats in orbit. SB1 was made gathering these pods and built from there. You also mention that you werent sure of what environments the pods had if they were just forests or such, but at several clips you can see snow covered mtns in one at least, 9:18 for example. So it does seem to be a variety of what earth had to offer.

[@BlinkPhaseVideos]

it looks like the deflector with borg mods from first contact

[@sallensmae]

I always thought that Starbase 1 felt like a total lift of Terra Venture from “Power Rangers in Space”

[@sallensmae]

@FN-1701AgentGodzillaRangerPrime Ω You are correct.

[@markswang8987]

it's sad we can't dock at star base one for Star Trek online it be cool if we can do that.

[@daTribbleMaker]

Have none of you seen Silent Running? Those biopods AND what Pike said about was a direct nod to that film. They are virtually identical and in Silent Running there was a war brewing (or had already) occurred and they were sent to space to preserve ... I won't spoil you on the rest as I really don't think anyone here has seen so no spoilers

[@magnumserpentine6444]

In Silent Running, Global Corporates had destroyed the land via mining, and cutting down trees. It was one of many attempts to get trees to grow again on Earth in the 2090's

[@jonsumner5899]

Well yeah I'd like to see Jupiter station. On the shows they keep talking about it but I don't remember if we actually ever see Jupiter station

[@maxrander0101]

of you read all the related lore in the universe you will know it was built before ESD but not as a main station but one of the staging grounds for the ships and crews building ESD and also as the test bed for all those to be built as the federation expanded you could consider it the NX space dock it was only partly destroyed by the Romulans but was able to be repaired

[@roninrider1930]

damn it now im going to have to watch this and buy ANOTHER ap lol

[@creech444]

If they can put a "fake" fire in Wendy's I'm sure they could do it on a starship. The Biodomes seem to be straight out of "Silent Running" which i wonder if that's intentional. The whole purpose of those biodomes was to preserve earth ecosystems that were to be returned to Earth when a war was over. However the movie turns out to be about the ship being recalled to fight in the war, and the biodomes were to be ejected - basically giving up on any hope of ever returning life to Earth. It seems by incorporating the biodomes here on the station, they're re-embracing the value and uniqueness of life and biodiversity. Embracing the domes as a legacy of hope.

[@donovanulrich348]

You do realize if we in real life were forced to this point A war threatening existence, so lets make a bio dome to preserve stuff. Politicians would be selling us left right and center. And we would have to worry about our own governments before an ally/enemies government. Even tho thats who local law will blame

[@BigTomInTheBasement]

@@donovanulrich348 If things got really bad, all the scums would likely be cleaned out. There's no room for graft when resources have run short.

[@dibaterman]

I think the fire was real fire, I think holograms in the federation were introduced in NG. Correction I forgot that all their tech in this series is redone to have holographic interfaces.

[@Commander23251]

So, there are a couple of inconsistencies to point out. One, at the end of the first episode of strange new worlds when pike is talking with his new soon to be tactical Officer he strait up states that when Starbase one was first constructed it was done so around the Bio Domes but yet we see that as a later addition? Second being that we are now being told that Starbase 1 was in orbit of Jupiter at the same time as the famous Jupiter Station which had been active since the late 22nd century? Both of these inconsistencies strike a nerve with me in a bad way.

Its called just that Starbase one It was added to Lore in and around Discovery i think 🤷‍♂️ But only existed as a place holder before TNG Cuz Trek and TNG had star bases, but they were almost all over 100 in number TNG often a 4-8 digits in the starbase name

[@stephenfritz7493]

At 4:08, is that the Andromeda Ascendant?

[@fernandogarajalde4066]

Assuming it’s in geosynchronous orbit, wouldn’t it be easier for travelers to/from the Earth to use 23rd century monofilament cables and elevators to transfer them without the excessive use of transporter pads? You can also transfer cargo via special elevators that wouldn’t need to travel as slow as passenger elevators. Not an original idea since Arthur C. Clarke and Issac Asimov used geosynchronous elevators in their novels.

[@TrekCentral]

Starbase 1 isn't in Orbit around Earth, but Jupiter! But yes I too would love to see more space elevators.

[@Rybo-Senpai]

Well let's be fair the ISS is the closest thing we have to a star base and it moves, it adds and reduces its velocity using a variety of methods, the Propulsion systems on the Zarya Module, a Russian Progress Cargo spacecraft, and the American Cygnus space craft also, all change the velocity of the Station to maintain its orbit so that it doesn't decay due to interactions with the very very thing earth atmosphere which extends well above the Orbit of the ISS and its density fluctuates based on Solar Activity. As a result it moves. All space craft and by extension stations are capable of imparting a change in velocity until their fuel systems run empty, and actually every single time a spacecraft uses RCS to change orientation it imparts a change in their orbit, very minutely but it's there.

[@SwankyKitteh82]

Yeeeeah, mentally conceptualizing the sheer size/scale of some of these space craft is difficult. It was a debate for a long time that the TOS Enterprise was too small for it's crew compliment of around 700 personnel, until proven otherwise. Turns out they'd be quite comfortable there, without being stacked atop one another. Meanwhile the TNG Enterprise is so goddamn big, that just to illustrate a bit; a single lower decks personnel working in the depths of a Galaxy Class cruiser could likely go about their daily activity for their entire shift and never encounter another crewman in doing so. Hell, anyone remember that moment in Voyager, where Captain Janeway entered a portion of her own ship she'd never seen before, and needed an enlisted crewman (whom she'd also never met before) to give her directions to where she was going?

[@peterfmodel]

In TOS starbases were planets, but perhaps that is no longer the case. Considering the wild canon changes i am not too surprised.

[@donovanulrich348]

Logically it would make way more sense to have a planetary base As later on Star fleet is a military, with exploration at its core So a planetary launching platform makes more tactical sense then a space station. You wouldnt have to heat it all the time and never have to store food or water with replicators. Crews bring their emergency rations when they land

[@peterfmodel]

@@donovanulrich348 Very true. In s2e15 - The Trouble With Tribbles we are first introduced to a Space Station, in that case Deep Space Station K7. This was a man made structure in space. So if we are talking about Space Station's we are ok, but the Star Bases, of which 7 have been specifically identified by the end of season 2 of TOS, with a possible 109 being in existence at that time, were all planets with orbiting facilities. These planets have the capability of repairing starships, providing advanced medical facilities and providing crew replacements.

[@WardenWolf]

It probably wasn't the very same Starbase 1 in all eras. It's likely been completely rebuilt several times, just keeping the same designation, and perhaps reusing certain components like the domes.
