By 2270, Starfleet's Bureau of Unexplored Territory maintained on office on the starbase. In 2270, the Bureaus' head, Admiral Hiram Kawakami, contacted Captain James T. Kirk aboard the Enterprise and told him about the time-delayed message that the starbase received from Black Box Nebula Station One. (TOS novel: Corona)
