Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards are in synchronous orbit over Utopia Planitia on Mars. Utopia Planita Fleet Yards were first established as the shipyard that built the Enterprise-D on its dedication plaque, and later is explicitly mentioned in TNG episodes. A Utopia Planitia drafting room appears in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Booby Trap", and exteriors appear in the TNG episode "Parallels" and the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Relativity".

According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Emissary", Benjamin Sisko served at Utopia Planitia from 2367 to 2369. DS9's "The Search" adds that while at Utopia Planitia, Sisko oversaw development of the Defiant starship class.
