Yorktown

"It looks like a giant snow globe just waiting to break."

- Leonard McCoy, 2263

Yorktown, also known as Starbase Yorktown, Yorktown Base and Yorktown Station, was a massive Federation space station located on the frontier, near the Necro Cloud nebula, in the alternate reality. Containing millions of individuals, it was Starfleet's newest and most advanced starbase as of 2263 and was commanded by Commodore Paris.

History
Yorktown was constructed in lieu of a planetary settlement so as not to show geographical favoritism to any particular recently-admitted worlds.

Three years into a five-year mission as commanding officer of the USS Enterprise, Captain Jame T. Kirk applied for a vice admiral position at Yorktown. At the time, Starfleet's most technologically advanced ship was built there.
