Also i know star bases are always vulnerable due to the "kill starbase" command. Any recommendations as to minimize the damage/maximize life of my starbases?

Dont let them get near your starbases!
Set up minefields around all your planets - have good scanners and either penscan or station a scout on all planets for up to 3 jumps away from your area.
This should give you 3 years warning before any attack.
Turn 1 - see them (3 years away)
Turn 2 - Gate defense fleet to nearest world (2 years away)
Turn 3 - Hit their fleet with yours (1 year way).
This should mean that you always hit them the turn before they arrive in orbit around your planet. Achieving this large a buffer zone will not be easy
To minimise dammage - load all the pop for the threatend planet into LFs and move them away on the turn attacked (your starbase will still go Bang - but if you win you can recolonise and ship the pop back)

Also your race Whisper

could use a few changes.
Its a bit slow so you will find people merrily rolling over your empire going Mahhhaahahahah 2 Guns

as your starbases explode.
My tip - lose one of the immunities, set your energy to Cheap and lose the all start at 3.
I am sure wiser people than me will have more advice but for now have a look at the AR section. Oh and try this link
