Why is it called starbase 911 ?
Is there a sb911 on star trek? If so, I don't remember it. From which movie/series is the name?

There's no real reason for it, other than 911 being part of my username, so I just carried it over I guess. And just in case anyone's wondering, it's supposed to be pronounced nine eleven. But feel free to pronounce it however you want.

Thanks for the explanation matthew911 I was wondering if it had something to do with September 11 - to Honor the dead I was actually thinking the same thing. Which reminds me, that day is coming up soon, so just to the big event that sprang from that in mind, can you remember what you did that day? I can. I had just gotten home from work to a frantic text-message from a friend, that simply said; turn on the TV now. I texted back, asking why? I never did get the answer or I forgot, cause I turned on the TV, just in time to see the last plane hammer into the towers. I was stunned. "Idiots, didn't they know what America would do?" It was only after that I thought about the dead. Those two towers fall was the start of a disaster we are not through yet.

Which reminds me, that day is coming up soon, so just to the big event that sprang from that in mind, can you remember what you did that day? i cant really remember waht i did that day because i was only in kindergarden all i remember was when my mom piched me up from school she told me that someone stole some planes and tried to kill the president and that lots of people died I can. I had just gotten home from work to a frantic text-message from a friend, that simply said; turn on the TV now. I texted back, asking why?
