Outpost 2 was an outpost constructed on an asteroid by Starfleet in 2160. This outpost was one of seven Earth Outpost Stations located on the Federation side of the Federation-Romulan border in Sector Z-6. This sector was in Galaxy Quadrant YX-12-114, which was a minor quadrant of the Beta Quadrant. (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; PIC: "Disengage")
History[]
In 2266, the Federation lost contact with the base. It was determined, by the USS Enterprise, that the station was destroyed by an unknown vessel that was later discovered to be a Romulan Bird-of-Prey. Within the next century, this outpost had been replaced with a new ouptost bearing its name.
In 2366, Outpost 2 was warned by Starfleet about an alleged Romulan base on Nelvana III. (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; TNG: "The Defector")
