Outpost 23 was an Earth Outpost that entered into service after stardate 1292.4 in the 24th century. This outpost was located on the Federation side of the Federation-Romulan border in the Beta Quadrant. This outpost was located at the terminus of the zone (PIC: "Disengage")
In 2367, it was the key outpost in Starfleet's defenses along the border and its location was a tightly guarded secret.
That year, in a holoprogram created for William T. Riker by Barash on Alpha Onias III, Outpost 23 was supposedly no longer of strategic importance and was slated to be the site of final peace negotiations between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire, an apparent ruse to reveal the location of the outpost. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")
In 2401, the location of this outpost was labeled in a chart used on aboard the SS Eleos XII. (PIC: "Disengage")
