Starbase 12

So I have recently been reading up on this article:
http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Starbase_12
At first it seems to be a orbiting command post in 2163, as a test of Starfleet's long-range construction abilities. The USS Essex, the Daedalus class ship from Power Play, is also on record as having been assigned there as well in 2167. And it seems to stay that way with a planetside facility when the USS Enterprise visits there many times in the 2260s, and even the USS Enterprise-D in the 2360s visits there as well for maintenance and overhauls. That's all said and good ....
HOWEVER, the game Star Trek Bridge Commander clearly shows the starbase to be in a different location, with a Starbase 74 type facility where the player vessels, the Dauntless and the Sovereign, can clearly be seen as having docked INSIDE the facility.
So which is it, is it a planetside facility or an orbital starbase? And if it is a starbase, could it be of the Starbase 74 type?
