Starbase 336

Starbase 336 serves as a Federation orbital command and communications node that accepts automated tactical transmissions, originates sector alerts, and relays intelligence to nearby starships. In the current material it receives the Klingon battlecruiser T'Ong's automated signal and issues the alert that notifies the USS Enterprise. The installation functions as an early-warning and coordination hub, staffed to evaluate incoming transmissions, generate situational reports, and communicate recommended actions to vessel command. Its operational profile implies a staffed operations center with communications officers, intelligence analysts, and liaison authority to interface with Starfleet command and responding ships.
