The R1 Administrator-class was a type of Federation space station/starbase in use in the 23rd century. The most notable facility of this type was Earth's orbital office complex.
Specifications[]
This was the fifth type of R1 station built by Chiokis Starship Construction Corporation in partnership with Rantura Shipping Lines in the late 23rd century. It featured 120 modular segments that could be replaced or refitted to create different configurations. This allowed stations to be outfitted variously for such uses as administrative headquarters, conference centers, data repositories, and luxury housing. It featured a restaurant deck, greenhouse level, recreational level, and private conference suites. Some had a dance hall with variable artificial gravity and banquet halls capable of accommodating 300 people.
The versatile R1 Administrator-class was 200 meters wide, 215 meters tall, and weighed 850,000 metric tons. It could support a staff of 50 and living quarters for up to 100 visitors. The hangar bay could maintain up to four shuttlecraft and four travel pods. It had no weaponry and only navigational-type deflector shields. The standard layout included four 6-person transporters and one cargo transporter. It had a cargo capacity of 10,000 metric tons. Power was provided by a type FMAPG-1 matter/antimatter power generator and a type FIPG-1 impulse generator.
Corporate and civilian owners of this station class paid 2% of gross profits to Starfleet and were required to donate 1% of their manufactured goods for colonial support. A Samson-class warp tender towed each station to its destination. (FASA RPG module: Regula-1 Orbital Station Deckplans)
Service history[]
The first station, Babel Orbital Center 1, entered service in the early 2270s, on reference stardate 2/1409. (FASA RPG module: Regula-1 Orbital Station Deckplans)
Earth's orbital office complex handled administrative functions for starships in orbital drydocks of the San Francisco Navy Yards. Offices and residences were located in the circular nodes surrounding the main cylindrical base. In 2273, Vice Admiral James T. Kirk visited the complex, then took a travel pod to the refit USS Enterprise in a nearby drydock.

Clanhaven 1, orbiting Clanhaven, was a diplomatic facility used by the Federation and Gorn Hegemony. Welcome Mat 1 oversaw starship navigation around Argelius II.
By the 2280s, 20 R1 Administrator stations had been constructed. The last such facility built was Palasada 1, a corporate luxury hotel. (FASA RPG module: Regula-1 Orbital Station Deckplans)
