Federation Starbase (Orbital Facility)

Starbase Three Three Six

A Federation orbital communications and intelligence hub that hums with clipped warnings and automated logs. Consoles glow with the timestamped reception of an eighty‑year‑old distress beacon; a terse report—compiled two days after the T'Ong’s automated transmission—flags the Klingon battlecruiser and launches an urgent mission. The space feels functional and urgent: technicians parse telemetry, senior officers vet the intelligence, and a steady background of routing tones and status pings turns raw data into the command signal that sends the Enterprise away.

S2E20 · The Emissary
Briefing: The T'Ong Awakens

Starbase Three Three Six functions as the intelligence source: it received and relayed the automated transmission from the T'Ong, initiating the Enterprise mission and framing the timeline urgency referenced in the briefing.

Atmosphere

Implied procedural efficiency — a sterile, bureaucratic relay point converting raw telemetry into command alerts.

Functional Role

Information originator and early‑warning node that catalyzed the Enterprise's response.

Symbolic Significance

Represents Federation institutional reach and the chain of information that obligates Starfleet action.

Access Restrictions

Operated by Starbase personnel and accessible to Starfleet command channels; not directly present in the scene.

Timestamped automated telemetry logs Clipped communication tone implied by the terse report Quiet, procedural intelligence processing (implied rather than shown)
S2E20 · The Emissary
Worf's Dilemma — Duty Over Vengeance

Starbase three three six is cited as the origin of the automated transmission that exposed the T'Ong; it functions as the informational source that incites the Enterprise's mission and supplies the historical provenance of the distress signal.

Atmosphere

Not physically present in scene but implied as a procedural, buttoned-down intelligence source producing terse, consequential telemetry.

Functional Role

Source of intelligence and the inciting report that launched the Enterprise's response.

Symbolic Significance

Represents institutional surveillance and the chain that turns old war artifacts into present danger.

Access Restrictions

An operational Starbase assumed to only share sensitive transmissions through formal channels.

Automated transmission logs (referenced) Timestamped telemetry that indicates age and destination of the T'Ong Impersonal, machine-originated message framing the emergency
