The spacedock in a synchronous orbit of Earth, commonly known as Spacedock, was a Federation Spacedock-type space station in service with Starfleet in the late 23rd century. Spacedock was under construction in 2257. In 2285, the USS Enterprise returned to Spacedock after serving as a cadet training vessel on an ill-fated mission in which Khan's plan to steal the Genesis Device and kill Admiral James T. Kirk for revenge was thwarted. At Spacedock, the Enterprise was to be decommissioned, rather than repaired. Kirk - with the help of Captain Scott as well as Commanders Uhura, Sulu and Chekov - stole the Enterprise to rescue Spock's body from the Genesis Planet. The USS Excelsior attempted to give chase, but had been sabotaged by Captain Scott, and "stalled" when it attempted to jump to transwarp just outside the station. In 2286, an unknown probe entirely disabled Spacedock upon reaching Earth. The shutdown happened before any vessels within, including the Excelsior, could be launched, resulting in the equally powerless vessels being trapped behind the space doors. When Kirk and his crew had resolved the crisis, power was restored as the probe left the planet. Kirk was demoted to captain, and offered command of a starship - namely the USS Enterprise-A, which was docked within Spacedock. After a brief shakedown cruise, the Enterprise-A returned to Spacedock while Captain Scott worked to resolve design flaws made apparent by the ship's maiden voyage. Pictured here is a replica of the Earth Spacedock.
