STARBASE
Name:	Starbase 16
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Class:	starbase

Starbase 16 was a Starfleet installation on Corinth IV in service in the 23rd century. (Starship Exeter: "The Tressaurian Intersection") The TOS comic "The Haunting of the Enterprise" shows this as a space-borne facility.

In 2257, then-Lieutenant James Kirk diverted the USS Farragut to Starbase 16 for repairs after the encounter with the dikironium cloud creature. (TOS novel: Constitution)

Sometime prior to stardate 3714.28, a damaged and unmanned Klingon battle cruiser was drifting towards Starbase 16. The USS Yorktown intercepted it before it reached the starbase. (Star Fleet Assembly Manual 2)

Around stardate 5713.1, the Tressaurians used a gravity-wave device to destroy Starbase 16 and the USS Kongo. The Kongo managed to release a distress call, and the USS Exeter responded to the call to find both destroyed. (Starship Exeter: "The Tressaurian Intersection") This seems to contradict information used in other Star Trek sources, unless there were two Starbase 16s.

Competitors in the Great Starship Race would race from Starbase 16 to the planet Gullrey. The first race of this kind was hosted by the United Federation of Planets in 2269, around stardate 3223.1, with the USS Enterprise competing. (TOS novel: The Great Starship Race)

In 2279, the Belle Terre Colonial Expedition launched from Starbase 16, with the Enterprise leading the colony ships to their destination. (TOS novel: Wagon Train to the Stars)
