Starfleet Headquarters

From Hidden Frontier

Starfleet Headquarters is the complex of buildings located on Earth from which the Federation Starfleet is administrated by Starfleet Command. Headquarters' grounds encompasses territory adjacent to the city of San Francisco on either side of the Golden Gate Bridge. The term can also apply to one specific building in the complex from which central decisions are made.

The Headquarters complex was originally built as the command center of the United Earth Starfleet in the early 22nd Century on what was previously a portion of Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, overlooking Horseshoe Bay. After the founding of the United Federation of Planets in 2161, the site was used for the Federation Starfleet. By the 2270's, the headquarters expanded to the Presidio, an ancient military post on the southern side of the Golden Gate, where it included an air tram station. Starfleet Headquarters shares the Presidio with Starfleet Academy.

Starfleet Headquarters was attacked and severely damaged by the Breen Confederacy in 2375. (DS9 - "The Changing Face of Evil")
