This article or section requires an update. |
Starbase 11 is a Federation starbase administrated by Starfleet.
In 2267, Starbase 11 was the site of a court martial against Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701 , accused of causing the death of Lieutenant Commander Ben Finney. Later that same year, Lieutenant Commander Spock diverted the Enterprise to Starbase 11 in an attempt to transfer injured Fleet Captain Christopher Pike to the planet Talos IV.

Background Information
The name of the planet on which Starbase 11 was situated wasn't given in either episode. However, it seems quite plausible that the base is on a moon of a gas giant, visible in the sky in "The Menagerie".
"Court Martial" and "The Menagerie" weren't originally broadcast in adjoining weeks, but they were filmed back-to-back, respectively. It is odd that an additional painting was created for the second appearance.
In the DS9 episode {Far Beyond the Stars, the cover image of the Galaxy is a homage to the matte painting featured here.
