This Luna Base is a base in the orbit of Earth moon. In terms of design, it is an artificial planetary ring, which allows massive interstellar craft dock with it easily. It's safe to assume that it is the Federation Navy's largest base, strategically located in proximity to Earth and massive in capacity.
The Lunar Base can house countless ships of almost any size, including Corvette Transports, DR-4 Vikings, DR-8 Skyhooks, TAC Fighters, shuttles and other spacecraft. The defence mechanisms of the Lunar Base are Missile defence turrets and other small turrets.
