Command Section
- Main Article: StarBase 118 Command Towers
The Command Section, also known as the "Towers," are the highest module of the base, and serve as office-space for both civilian and StarFleet entities.
Notable Towers
- Command Center: The Command Center is the main operations hub for the entire starbase.
- Executive Tower: The Executive Tower is the location of the administrative offices for the small number of top brass who call StarBase 118 their home of operations.
- Black Tower: The Black Tower is home to the headquarters for StarFleet Intelligence's Romulan and Klingon divisions. The Tower is restricted to Starfleet Intelligence personnel only.
Drydock
- Main Article: StarBase 118 Drydock
The drydock is the massive ship docking area inside the base. Decks 1-54 are actually above the drydock itself, and encompass the "collar" below the Command Towers.
Decks 1-455
- 1: Towers basement, towers turbolift access support areas, towers environmental control, towers waste management
- 2: Towers security and medical center,
- 3-41: Unlisted

Administration Section
The administration section functions as the hub for all officers who work on the StarBase. Many posts such as security, science/research, and support (medical) have their main offices and research centers based here. All officers in the command divison also have their offices located in this sector.
This area also houses the bulk of the starbase's educational facilities, including a distance education campus of Starfleet Academy. As such, StarBase 118 serves as the primary place where officers report to at the beginning of their day to receive their orders and assignments for the coming shift.

Commercial Sector
- Main article: StarBase 118 Commercial Sector
The center of commercial activity on the base, spanning approximately 15% of the length of the base, and supporting its own atmosphere, complete with clouds and a simulated sun.
Decks 1042-1171
- 1042: Commercial areas

- 1044: Upper wait station (lower deck), commercial areas
- 1045: Open-air commercial dome
- There are a number of buildings within the dome which have between 2-80 floors. These buildings utilize their own internal transportation systems, and thus are numbered in the usual manner, with "1st floor" being equivalent to the ground floor.
- 1046: Commercial dome transportation system and lower wait station
- 1047-1048: Commercial dome transportation system support and engineering
- 1049-1171: Commercial areas
Engineering Section
The engineering section is home to a multitude of different areas, making it somewhat misnamed. While it is true that a good deal of the computer cores and two of the fusion generators on the base are housed in this section, as well as the offices of engineering officers and dispatch points of maintenance teams, there are also many hundreds of large cargo bays, the flight bays for all of the fighter squadrons and tactical wings, and extensive research labs.

Subspace Array
This large bulbous section of the base, at the very bottom, is devoted almost entirely to communications processing and hardware for this system. Because the Starbase is a hub for media moving across the quadrant as well, it is an extremely important relay in the communications network.
