While traveling to the Neutral Zone to investigate the disappearance of several outposts in 2364, helmsman Lieutenant Geordi La Forge suggested that a large portion of the USS Enterprise-D's crew be left at this starbase in case there was a hostile encounter with the Romulan military. Following the recovery of temporally displaced survivors aboard the SS Birdseye in Sector 30, La Forge and Captain Jean-Luc Picard agreed ferrying them to Starbase 39-Sierra.
