Changes: Outpost 8

Revision as of 20:56, 15 October 2014

Outpost 8 was an outpost constructed on an asteroid by Starfleet in 2160.

In 2266, the Federation lost contact with the base. It was determined, by the USS Enterprise, that the station was destroyed by an unknown vessel that was later discovered to be a Romulan Bird-of-Prey. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

Between 2266 and 2366, this base was rebuilt. In 2366, this outpost received a warning from Starfleet Command about an alleged Romulan base on Nelvana III. (TNG: "The Defector")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 66), there were 23 Earth outposts. Outposts 1 to 8 were mentioned in dialog or were seen on the Z-6 Sector map in "Balance of Terror" and Outpost 23 was mentioned in dialog in "Future Imperfect".
