Star Trek: Every* Starbase Ranked Worst To Best
4. Jupiter Station
Jupiter Station, as it appeared in the episode Life Line, was designed by Rick Sternbach. He based the design on a painting that he had done for Captain Picard's quarters on the Enterprise-D, incorporating several saucer sections stacked atop each other. He believed that these could have been repurposed from decommissioned ships.
Jupiter Station served as the base of operations for Dr. Lewis Zimmerman and it was from there that he designed the Emergency Medical Holoprogram. Thus, the station became the birthplace of the EMH. Though it would appear in this configuration only once in the franchise to date, its design served as an inspiration in Star Trek: Picard.
Daystrom Station, a black-ops site from which Section 31 operated in the 25th Century, was heavily based on Jupiter Station's design, though it also incorporated elements of the MIDAS Array, the Epsilon IX station, and several Y-Class cargo containers.
There was at least one café aboard Jupiter Station, as the managership of which was offered to Leeta, who declined to remain on Deep Space Nine.
