Starbase 74
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Starbase 74 is a Federation starbase located in orbit of Tarsas III. The starbase worked in conjunction with Starfleet Operational Support Services in the routine maintenance and upgrade of systems aboard starships. In 2364, the base was commanded by Commander Orfil Quinteros.
In that year, the USS Enterprise-D docked at Starbase 74 to undergo a hardware upgrade for its computer systems, which was performed by a group of Bynars. The Enterprise was hijacked by the Bynars shortly after the upgrade began, and taken to Bynaus. The USS Melbourne was one of the three other starships docked at the time, but was unable to pursue due to repairs in progress. (TNG: "11001001")

[edit] Background
Starbase 74 was a reuse of the Earth Spacedock model. However, this version must be significantly larger, from visual analysis of the approach from "11001001" and that of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
This particular starbase was also used in A Klingon Challenge, a Star Trek: The Next Generation interactive VCR board game. As with the events of "11001001," the Enterprise-D once again gets hijacked from this starbase in attempt to start a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.
