Scenes and places
Arriving at Starbase Yorktown
The Enterprise arrives at Starbase Yorktown for resupply and shore leave. Struggling to find meaning in the third year of the five-year mission, Kirk has applied for a promotion and recommended Spock as his replacement.
Set in Starbase Yorktown — The Federation's newest and most advanced starbase, where the Enterprise stops for resupply and shore leave.
A fictional starbase; the film builds it from Dubai's skyline plus studio sets.
Filmed at Burj Al Arab, Dubai (Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates) — The hotel is named among the Dubai buildings that appear in the finished film as the backdrop of Yorktown; the exact shots are not given. Google Maps · Apple Maps
How to get there:
Into the nebula: the swarm over Altamid
A rescue call sends the Enterprise into an uncharted nebula, cut off from Starfleet. A swarm of small ships overwhelms the ship, and Kirk orders the crew to abandon it.
Set in Altamid — A planet inside an uncharted nebula, where the Enterprise is sent to rescue a stranded crew.
A class M planet with vast subterranean elements and little life on the surface.
The ship in the wreckage: USS Franklin
Jaylah rescues Scotty and takes him to her makeshift home, the grounded USS Franklin. Kirk, Chekov, McCoy and Spock find them there, and the scattered crew has a base.
Set in Grounded USS Franklin, Altamid — The wreck of an early Starfleet vessel, reported missing more than a century earlier, now the scavenger Jaylah's home.
A fictional wreck on a fictional planet; the film gives no real-world location for it.
The chase through Yorktown
The Enterprise survivors power up the Franklin and race after Krall, whose swarm is heading for Yorktown. The chase tears through the starbase while Kirk's crew works to stop the weapon.
Set in Starbase Yorktown — The starbase again, now the target of Krall's weapon and the swarm.
Yorktown is drawn as a city folded into a sphere; on Earth, Dubai supplied the towers.
Filmed at DIFC Central Park Towers, Dubai (DIFC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates) — A production figure says the towers, the black buildings with the V-shaped cut, appear in the scene where the ship crashed; the interview does not name the Yorktown chase, so that link is inferred.
