A Starbase design created in YE 27.

In 2180 (Yamatai year YE 27), as a means of increasing space commerce (and making a profit of it), the Nerimian Galactic Confederation came to Ketsurui Fleet Yards (KFY) to ask for a space station design. Wary of divulging their technology, and focused on other tasks, KFY turned down the offer, citing that they were still concentrated on military production. Still interested in the station's development, KFY referred the Nerimians to the civilian manufacturer Geshrinari Shipyards, then based in the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia system. Geshrinari Shipyards had recently begun manufacturing the Sojourner-Class Medium Cargo Transport. KFY struck a deal with Geshrinari Shipyards which would provide Geshrinari with the necessary resources and facilities to meet the demands of the Nerimians. Thus, this class of station was designed and built jointly by Geshrinari Shipyards (most of the structure), Phoenix Armaments (defense and weapons systems), with assistance from Ketsurui Fleet Yards (internal power systems).

At least one Ayenee-Class Starbase was located in orbit around the Planet Nepleslia.

The starbase was considered 'massive' for its time by many Yamataians and Nepleslians who encountered it. It was large enough to support a sizeable dockyard for the era, and it maintained at least one control tower to direct traffic around the starbase. The dockyard were equipped with rails to speed up refueling and resupply efforts.

Ships that were able to dock with this starbase at the time that it was in use included the "Yggdrasill Kai" Vampire Variant, the No-L1-1a - Equine Small Cargo Ship, and the NS-LFS-1CIV Red Hill Class REVISED, the last of which was an 80-meter long vessel. The dockyard was able to house at least one DD4-class Destroyer, which is 154.566 meters long, 145.683 meters wide and 22 meters tall.

The starbase had lifts to move personnel from deck to deck, and hallways connection various rooms and areas of the starbase. Offices were available for crew and guests to perform work tasks.
