Starbase 313

Starbase 313 was a Federation starbase administrated by Starfleet during the 24^th century.

In 2321 Counselor Hathev of Vulcan was promoted to lieutenant commander and given her own department at Starbase 313. Here her career stagnated, which frustrated her endlessly as she found starbase assignment exceptionally boring compared to her varied time on starships. The only positive to the length of this assignment was that it allowed Hathev to become close with a civilian woman who served aboard the base. Finally in 2336 restructuring at the starbase gave her the opportunity to apply for reassignment, and she was made Chief Counselor on the USS Damascus.

During her assignment on Starbase 313, Hathev pursued a romantic relationship with Triss Liebrecht, a human woman who worked in the base's kitchens. In 2334 Triss returned to her home in Belgium, Earth, after the death of her mother, and this was at least in part what spurred Hathev to request a transfer from the starbase.

The USS Enterprise-D stopped at Starbase 313 in 2367 to pick up scientific equipment for a Federation outpost in the Guernica system, as well as Doctor Leah Brahms, who came aboard to study Geordi La Forge's modifications to her original designs for the Enterprise-D’s engines.
