Starbase 600, also known as Renaissance Station, or more properly Renaissance Station is the station in which Starbase 600 is located. It is the first starbase of the Far Sector. It is located in the L2 position near Oz, a member-world of the Ane Confederation. (Epiphany Trek)
Renaissance Station is a Builder class starbase, a smaller version of the massive Builder Station located in the El Nanth system. It is a twelve bay builder station. The four radial bays furthest from the core (6, 8, 10, 12) are turned over to environments instead of docking space. The area normally used as a docking bay has been split horizontally and fitted with a pair of environmental areas each 4 x 10 x 1.5 kilometers in size. Bay 6 has a true El Nanth environment, open plain on the lower bay and light forest in the upper bay. Warnings are posted for Non Ane to wear proper UV protection. Bay 8 is temperate and tropical arboreal environments featuring 300 meter trees similar to the ones once common to the Sharidin home world. Bay 10 is Starfleet Colony Command. The environments are redressed as needed to simulate environments on the world to be colonized. Bay 12 has yet to be decided on, but will be something you cannot find on Oz proper.
Bay 1 is Starbase 600. Starbase 600 is also the sector command for the Far Sector located beyond the Klingon Empire. Starfleet in the Far Sector is under the command of Admiral Jay P Hailey.
Living Space
The amount of livable floor space inside Renaissance Station is past huge. Each of the large, square support arms is fitted with decks, infra-structure and spaces - as are the connecting pieces. Renaissance Station has enough floor space for an entire planet's worth of sentient people to live.
Most of it has not been utilized and probably won't be for a long time.
