Earth Spacedock

The Earth Spacedock was a massive station orbiting the planet Earth, providing service facilities for Starfleet vessels. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 returned to the Spacedock in 2285 following the battle with Khan in the Mutara Nebula. At the time, the ship was scheduled to be decommissioned, but Admiral Kirk stole the Enterprise from the Spacedock in his effort to rescue Spock on the Genesis Planet. Also at the Spacedock at the time was the U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000, undergoing tests on its experimental transwarp drive.^[1] The Spacedock was disabled by an alien space probe approaching Earth in 2286.^[2] In 2287, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A was undergoing shakedown tests and systems installation at the Spacedock prior to the Nimbus III incident.^[3] In 2291, the Enterprise-A left the Spacedock to escort Klingon Chancellor Gorkon to Earth for a peace conference.^[4] In an alternate reality, the runabout U.S.S. Yellowstone NCC-74751 was stolen from the Spacedock in 2372 by Ensign Harry Kim and Tom Paris (Alt-V122).^[5]
