Service history 

The first base established by Starfleet, Starbase 1 was constructed around seed pods sent into space by scientists during World War III. These pods contained forests that had grown too large to be returned to Earth. ()

During the , Starbase 1 was located, sans seed pods, over a planetary body one hundred au from Earth. In 2257, the starbase and three nearby starships fell to the forces of House D'Ghor. The Federation remained unaware of the attack until the  arrived to find only 274 Klingons and a D'Ghor crest painted on the station, with no signs of its previous eighty thousand inhabitants. Admiral Katrina Cornwell lamented that, with this loss, the Klingons were "practically in Earth's backyard." ()

By 2259, Starbase 1 had been rebuilt and was relocated in orbit of Jupiter. That year, the  docked there after its mission to Kiley 279. ()

Background information
At a distance of one hundred au from Earth, twice that of Pluto at its furthest point, Starbase 1 would have been located in the far reaches of the Sol system during the Klingon War, likely within the . Although the planet remained unnamed, it may have been intended to be one of the many icy dwarf planets found in this region of space. 

Manny Coto once commented that, if  had gone on to a fifth season, one episode of that season would have been called "Starbase 1". The installment would have depicted the origins of the first starbase.

Apocrypha
Starbase 1 appears in the "Age of Discovery" expansion of Star Trek Online. In the mission "Downfall", the player ship is tasked to protect the station during its evacuation in 2257 alongside the  and the  (establishing the three starships mentioned by Admiral Cornwell). The forces of House D'Ghor are joined in the attack by the House of Mo'Kai matriarch , a sister of T'Kuvma. J'Ula uses an experimental mycelium weapon aboard her flagship, the , to destroy the player ship. Unknowingly, however, she sends both herself and the player to the early 25th century. In accordance with on-screen statements, Starbase 1 is shown to orbit a small planetoid with a moon in the far reaches of the solar system. The name of the planetary body is not provided.

Reference sources predating the station's 2018 appearance on  mention several different facilities called "Starbase 1". According to Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, Starbase 1 was located in Sector 3A, where it managed to remain operational for eight years before its destruction by Romulans. Star Trek: Federation - The First 150 Years establishes that this base was built by United Earth's Starfleet on Berengaria VII and was lost in the Earth-Romulan War. According to the Star Fleet Technical Manual, a mid-23rd century Starbase 1 had the registry NCC-6038 and was located six parsecs away from the Sol system. The Star Trek Maps places Starbase 1 sixty parsecs away from Earth, in Quadrant 0. According to the  Mutiny on the Enterprise, Starbase 1 in the 2260s was also located on a planet in deep space. The Star Trek Book (pp. 234-235) identifies the alternate reality -design as being Starbase 1 in the prime timeline, built as a United Earth outpost in orbit of Algeron in 2156, destroyed at the start of the Earth-Romulan War.

In addition, several sources also establish Earth Spacedock as Starbase 1. This includes the FASA module Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update, the novels Tales of the Dominion War and , and 25th-century missions and background lore from Star Trek Online. As these references are dated from the 2280s to the 2400s, it is possible that the original Starbase 1 was decommissioned or renamed by this time.
