Starbase One-Seven-Three

Starbase One-Seven-Three functions as a Federation orbital installation that operates as a logistical supply node and administrative liaison for visiting starships. In the processed material it appears as the tendering authority for ship requisitions—its delivery of display panels (fewer than ordered) generates a manifest discrepancy that triggers a shipboard inquiry—and as a contemplated relocation destination for displaced colonists. The station coordinates provisioning, transfer logistics, and short‑term reception, interfacing directly with Starfleet vessels and shipboard command on matters of supplies, personnel movement, and humanitarian accommodation.
