Background information 
In the first draft script of "11001001", this starbase was instead named "Armus 9".

At first, Starbase 74 was conceived as a new design of space station. To this end, Andrew Probert produced a couple of concept drawings to show how the facility might look, including such details as the "main gangway" and "umbilical" between the starbase and a ship docked there. ()

Ultimately, however, Starbase 74 was depicted using recycled footage; for "11001001", the footage of the USS Enterprise-D on approach to Starbase 74 was stock shots from , showing the original  entering the Earth Spacedock in orbit of Earth, and the Enterprise-D was superimposed over the Enterprise to complete the shots.

The interior of Starbase 74 was shown via a matte painting illustrated by Andrew Probert. ()

Apocrypha 
Starbase 74 was also seen in A Klingon Challenge, a  interactive VCR board game. As with the events of "11001001", the Enterprise-D once again gets hijacked from this starbase, this time in an attempt to start a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.
