For the alternate reality counterpart, please see Regula I (alternate reality).
Regula I was a Federation scientific research laboratory orbiting the D-class planetoid Regula during the late 23rd century.
Located in the Mutara sector, Regula I was near the Mutara Nebula and the Ceti Alpha system was three days away at warp speed.
In the year 2285, the station housed Project Genesis and its team under the direction of Dr. Carol Marcus.
Using the USS Reliant in 2285, the station was attacked by Khan Noonien Singh in his attempt to steal the Genesis Device and lure Admiral James T. Kirk into a trap. Kirk captained the USS Enterprise and came to the station to investigate and rescue the remaining personnel. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
The exterior of Regula I was an inverted re-use of the orbital office complex that first appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It was recycled and "upscaled" to represent several other Federation starbases; for more information see studio models.
Interior design
The sets for Regula I's lab and corridor were built on Paramount Stage 5. [1]
