Starbase 343 was a Federation starbase administered by Starfleet. This base was located in the Beta Quadrant.
The starbase was operational by at least 2256. (DIS: "Choose Your Pain") In that year, this starbase's location was labeled on the star chart "Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview" in the ready room aboard the USS Discovery. (DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad")
In 2257, during the first Federation-Klingon War, the starbase was occupied by the Klingons. (DIS: "The War Without, The War Within")
Later that year, its location was labeled on the star chart showing the trajectory of Lieutenant Spock's shuttle. (DIS: "An Obol for Charon")
In 2258, its location was labeled on a star chart seen on the main viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. (DIS: "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2")
In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D was diverted to the starbase to transport urgently needed medical supplies to the Alpha Leonis system, postponing its rendezvous with the USS Goddard. Several Enterprise-D crewmembers took extended shore leave here during this transport, as it was expected to be a quiet mission. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")
The starbase's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. Starbase 343 was in or near to neutral space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")
