The one we see in films. You know, monstrously huge vaguely mushroom shaped thing?
Honestly, I don't see why they think 'Star Base 1' should be a massive complex of different bases scattered throughout the Solar System when many of them already have names like Utopia Planitia Shipyards. That'd be like referring to US Naval Forces Japan (Command Naval Forces Japan or CNFJ for short) as 'Japan Base' and saying that it's a complex of several facilities throughout the country.
(It's bad enough that really, CNFJ is also the same command as Command Navy Region Japan (CNRJ). The difference? One side is the fleet, one side is the bases, and it's all under one dual-hat command!)
