Outpost 2 was an outpost constructed on an asteroid by Starfleet in 2160. This outpost was one of seven Earth Outpost Stations located on the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone in Sector Z-6 of the Beta Quadrant. (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; PIC: "Disengage")

In 2259, the location of this outpost was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. (SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")

In 2266, the Federation lost contact with the base. It was determined, by the USS Enterprise, that the station was destroyed by an unknown vessel that was later discovered to be a Romulan Bird-of-Prey.

During the Neutral Zone Incursion, the location of Outpost 2 was labeled on a map of Sector Z-6 that was displayed on the bridge viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", production art)

Between 2266 and 2366, this outpost had been replaced. In 2366, Outpost 2 was warned by Starfleet about an alleged Romulan base on Nelvana III. (TNG: "The Defector")

In the episode "Disengage", the location of this outpost was seen on the bridge of the SS Eleos XII on what appears to be an updated chart from Star Trek: Star Charts. Dave Blass published pictures of the set on his website.
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66), Outpost 2 was constructed in an area of space that been contested over during the Romulan War Theater of Operations (2156-2160).
