Federation Starbase (Orbital Facility)
Starbase on Otar Two
A Federation orbital starbase that registers on the Enterprise's instruments as the next operational waypoint — a hulking ring of docking berths and administrative decks hovering over Otar Two. Navigation consoles lock onto its transponder while the crew steels itself for procedure: resupply, formal reporting, and custody transfers. The station emits a constant mechanical hum and pale docking lights; its corridors imply bureaucracy and order, a procedural harbor that promises cold efficiency and paperwork in the wake of the bridge's fresh grief and moral disarray.

Data Keeps Lal — Command Restored
The Starbase on Otar Two is invoked as the immediate destination — a procedural waypoint and safe harbor where the ship will report and where institutional processes may continue in response to Lal's status and the crew's needs.
Atmosphere
Not physically present but felt as a promise of bureaucratic order and a place for aftermath handling.
Functional Role
Destination for the ship to rendezvous with Federation resources and possibly allow formal procedures to follow.
Symbolic Significance
Represents institutional procedure and external oversight — the antithesis to Data's private, unilateral preservation of Lal.
Access Restrictions
Standard starbase access and docking protocols (implied).
pale docking lights and mechanical hum (implied)
bureaucratic corridors and formal procedures (implied)
