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. | The base does ''not'' orbit a planet, but instead is placed in a tactically advantageous location (see [[:Image:Starbase118-map.jpg|map]]).

==Location== | |||
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. | |||
Next is the planet [[Raskor]] which is approximately 4 and 1/3 hours from the station. It is just over 2 hours away from [[New Scotland]] at warp factor 5. The natives of this planet are avian in nature but their world is a tranquil paradise filled with tropical flowers, birds and all the facilities that anyone could need. It is an even more popular vacation spot for crew members to visit. | |||
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. | |||
