Babylon 5
The most prominent example of a starbase in Babylon 5 is the Babylon 5 station itself, as well as its four sister stations of the O'Neill cylinder configuration. The word "starbase" itself is rarely used in the series, rather the word "station" or "base" are used in place of it. Earth also employs a variety of starbases, like the Io station. Also, other races such as the Narns, the Centauri, and the Minbari also employ starbases. Two Narn stations were seen so far: the one in Quadrant 37 and Quadrant 14, both destroyed by the Shadows. The Centauri starbase orbiting Ragesh 3 was attacked and conquered by the Narns. The Vorlons too were seen with starbases, although it was designated by Lennier as a "Vorlon Observation post."

Famous quotes containing the word babylon:
“The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.”
—Linda Goodman (b. 1929)
