Regula I type
The Regula I-type was a scientific research laboratory and starbase design in use, by the  and Starfleet, during the mid-23rd and 24th centuries.

Technical information
This station type was powered by a reactor core. () 

It was also outfitted with a number of escape pods. ()

Interior design 

The primary color scheme was distinctively beige and green-gray or teal.

Movement aboard these stations were facilitated with the placement of numerous corridors. ()

Ops

The operations center of the station could be maintained by two crewmembers. ()

Laboratories

Regula I had sections dedicated to geoplastics (located in Module 29), gravitronics, synthostasis/JBK sensors (located in Module 31) and the main Project Genesis laboratory in the thermonics section (located in Module 31). ()

The laboratory of the Tanuga IV research station was the central location of the science station. It consisted of a large open room with four windows and several computers and consoles. Dr. Apgar's Krieger wave converter was located at the center of the laboratory, easily accessible from all sides. Two smaller computer workstations were located at a higher level of the laboratory, close to two corridors leading away from the lab. One lead to the living area and another to the communications station. People beaming onto the station were normally transported onto the lower level of the lab. ()

Transporter room 
This station type's transporter room consisted of a transporter pad with five positions, used to transport equipment and personnel, all controlled from an adjacent transporter console. ()

Background information 

This design was described in the script for The Wrath of Khan as "a functional cluster of modules serve as a scientific complex, a futuristic White Sands." In the script for "A Matter of Perspective" it was described simple as "a small space station", while the script for "Blaze of Glory", likewise described it, generically, as "a Federation-style Starbase."
