We usually refer to a non-city as a "colony", since a "base" is normally a military base.
A colony is basically just a few buildings without a capitol building. An airport terminal, a power plant, the desired industry buildings, and enough homes to supply everything with workers.

Constructing a biodome is usually a waste, just use building blueprints that have life support and it won't be an issue. This is especially true for moons and gas giants, since their building volume limits are very low.
