History[]

In 2257, during the first Federation-Klingon War, this starbase was occupied by the Klingons. (DIS: "The War Without, The War Within")

In 2346, the USS Intrepid transported Worf's nurse maid, Kahlest, to Starbase 24 where she could be treated for her injuries at the base's biomedical facility.

In 2369, after the metaphasic shield incident, Dr. Beverly Crusher was to take a shuttle from the USS Enterprise-D to Starbase 23, where a transport ship would pick her up and bring to Earth for a board of inquiry at Starfleet Medical. (TNG: "Suspicions")

In 2370, Starbase 23 was the closest Federation outpost to the Devron system. This system was located in the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

In an alternate 2370 created by the the anti-time eruption, Captain Picard ordered Counselor Troi to contact Starbase 23 to see if the effects of the temporal anomaly in the Devron system had spread. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
