: ''For the crew of StarBase 118, see [[StarBase 118 Ops]].''

'''StarBase 118''' is a large [[ma:spacedock|spacedock]] complex located on the border between the [[Trinity Sector]] and the [[Serellan Sector]] at coordinates 20-08-10. This area is the crux of [[ma:Federation|Federation]], [[Klingon]], and [[Romulan]] space. It acts as a diplomatic and commercial center for Federation citizens, and their allies the Klingons.

The base does ''not'' orbit a planet, but instead is placed in a tactically advantageous location (see [[:Image:Starbase118-map.jpg|map]]). The nearest star system is approximately two light-years away.

[[Image:Sb118 1.gif|right|frame]]There are eight main sections to the base:

#* [[StarBase 118 Deck Layout#Decks 1854-2126|Deck Listing]]

# '''Subspace Array''': Devoted almost entirely to communications processing and hardware for the subspace communications system.

Close by are the Federation member worlds of [[New Scotland]]. It is approximately 3 hours away at warp factor 5. This planet was settled by humans from the planet Earth shortly after the Federation was founded. It is a popular vacation spot for crew serveing on the station. It is fairly close to earth in temperature and climate. Many plants and animals from that world have been transported here and are now considered native.

The other planet that is close by is in the other direction and is currently independant. [[Cart'hen III]] is approximately 5 hours away at warp factor 5. It use to be under the control of the Klingon Empire. While they still maintain a small garrison the world is a haven for thieves, pirates and smugglers. There are a number of independent city states, company controled holdings and left over native survivors trying to return to their original way of life. This world is mostly desert with harsh conditions making a large portion of it uninhabitable.

* The horizontal layout of each deck can be described as "rings within rings". This is best explained by imagining one deck from the top view: the largest "ring" would be the rooms which border the external hull of the base. All of these rooms have windows. The next ring inside would be a corridor, allowing access to these rooms. The next ring in would likely be another set of rooms, with another corridor on the inside of that.

* Room widths (the size from the outer wall to the inner wall) vary within a deck, or even within a ring. Because each ring is connected by corridors (so that you could walk from the outermost point on a deck to the innermost point) the rings are not necessarily unbroken. For example, if you were standing at the 12 o'clock position of the outermost corridor of a deck, you most likely could not walk clockwise around the hallway to reach the 11 o'clock position, at least without being diverted around some rooms.
