Baikonur Cosmodrome

A Federation shipyard located in Eastern Europe on Earth, largely responsible for the output of smaller craft such as the Oberth class during the mid to late 24th century. The Cosmodrome no longer exists as a contruction facility.

Earth Station McKinley

This was a facility close to Earth's orbit, capable of housing and refitting vessels as large as the Galaxy-class in 2364.

Marin County Starfleet Yards

The facility in orbit of Marin County on Earth was responsible for the construction of designs such as the Olympic-class in the mid-24th century. It was destroyed during the Borg War.

Oakland Shipyards

Originally known as Oakland Fleet Yards, the Oakland Shipyards in orbit of Earth were originally responsible for the re-development of existing designs, but have lately been used to construct standard spaceframes. They are still in service following the war.

San Francisco Fleet Yards

Also known simply as the San Francisco Yards, this facility in orbit of Starfleet Command's home city is one of Starfleet's oldest and was responsible for the construction of many famous hulls including those of three Enterprises (NCC-1701, NCC-1701-A and NCC-1701-E) as well as the pathfinder for the Excelsior Class. Though the facility still exists, it no longer holds such a place of prominence amongst similar output facilities.

Tranquility Base

This base on the surface and in orbit of Luna was located around the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis); the site of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon's surface in 1969. The base was at least a century old, having constructed Constitution Class vessels such as the USS Defiant in the 23rd century. The surface structures were destroyed following a colony ship's crashing on the moon's surface, and the remaining orbiting structures were towed elsewhere.

Utopia Planitia

Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards were built on and in orbit of the Utopia Planitia region of Mars; the site of Viking 2's landing in the 20th century. It is currently the largest and most active Federation shipyard in existence and is the home of the majority of Starfleet's experimental starship frames' construction.
