Starbase Hatteras is a Watchtower-class starbase.
Originally, it was brought online during 2262 to stand as a silent guardian on an unstable frontier where it serves as a beacon of hope that shown brightly even through war.
The starbase is presently positioned along the outer edge of the Hatteran Explanse and a surrounding region of space called the "Diamond Shoals."
The name Hatteras was chose for the new starbase in acknowledgement of the fact that the nebula's name sounds a bit like "Hatteras Island" along the coast of North Carolina back on Earth.
As with the historic lighthouse of Hatteras Island, Starbase Hatteras serves as (in addition to its other duties) a navigational beacon ready to assist ships navigating the region -- a region known for stellar storms and other phenomena.
