Star Trek: Every* Starbase Ranked Worst To Best

Starbase Earhart is another unassuming locale that contains a lot of history. It was in operation by the mid-23rd century at least, as Erica Ortegas remembers a Nausicaan trying to sell her an old Dom Jot game there. The Nausicaans, it seems, must never have left. 

Earhart is most famous for being the last resting place of Jean-Luc Picard's biological heart. It was here that he got into the brawl with those Nausicaans who decided to bring a knife to a Dom Jot fight. A quick stab later and the lothario would be forevermore a cyborg. He does have a track record for it, to be fair. Beta canon would see Commander Rachel Garrett meet Martha Batanides here, while alpha canon would see two more famous Starfleet officers arrive.

As it was only a 'quick warp' way from Qualor II, Ensigns Mariner and Tendi took a trip to fix a Catian post for Dr. T'ana. By this stage, some of the lush greenery (a reused prop from Logan's Run) had been removed, as it seemed a little browner and dustier. It had staying power, for sure, even if it wasn't the prettiest of places. Then again, the best known joints in history often aren't gorgeous - they just do the job.
