The Star Fleet Command Manual was created to lay the foundation for the structure, authority and
functions of Star Fleet. It is divided into nineteen volumes, each of which relates to a specific function of
the Department and is written in the languages of the worlds that are signatories to the Articles of
Federation.
Not only is the function of the Star Fleet Command Manual to lay the foundation for the Star Fleet,
but also to act as a reference guide to all members of the Service and is used at all Star Fleet training
facilities for the education and indoctrination of its members. Every command within the Department shall
have at least one copy of the complete manual in the languages representing the United Federation of
Planets.
Therefore, I invite all members of the Star Fleet Service to read this manual and become familiar with
all the information it has to offer.

INTRODUCTION
In the year 2203 the Federation Council and the Military Staff Committee were tasked, under
Executive Order 521, to develop the structure, authority and operation of the Department of the
Star Fleet. A special task force composed of the military experts from all the signatory members of the
Federation was created to establish the structure of Star Fleet. The resulting document, along with the
Star Fleet Charter, was the Star Fleet Command Manual.
The Star Fleet Command Manual took over two years to develop. Many of the aspects of the structure
and organization described in the manual were developed from the old military systems of Earth and
from the old Space Service. Therefore, most readers will find this familiar to them.
The Star Fleet Command Manual is actually a set of manual volumes, each focusing on a specific
function of the Department of the Star Fleet. This volume, Volume I of the Star Fleet Command
Manual, describes the origin and function of the Department of the Star Fleet. It is the source
document that establishes the basic structure for the Department of the Star Fleet and the rules and
regulations under which all personnel within the Department must abide.
The Star Fleet Command Manual is written in the five languages of the original signatories to the
Articles of Federation. The Terranglo version of the manual is written for those members of Star
Fleet that originate from Earth and is written in the English language. Other versions written in
languages other than the standard five can be obtained from the Star Fleet Printing Office upon
request.
Throughout the manual the following typographic standards will be used:
1. Bolded items are important Star Fleet and Federation names, titles, designations and other key
words that Star Fleet personnel should become familiar with.
2. Titles, designations and other identifiers will be illustrated in a generic format. Where a specific value
must be entered to complete the title or phrase, angle brackets (“<>”) will be used to indicate the
point of insertion.
3. Where a choice is required in order to complete a title or phrase, a vertical bar (‘|’) is used to
indicate a selection. However, only one selection can be made from the choices offered. All choices
and ranges of choices are enclosed within braces (“{}”).
4. References to classified material will be exposed as to their classification level and printed in Bold
RED print.
5. Throughout this manual there are hyperlinks to sections and figures provided in this manual. Internal
links to figures, for example: “Figure 1a45.2”, will allow the reader to jump to that figure by clicking
the text “Figure 1a45.2.” To return back to the source page, click on the page number at the bottom
of the figure, such as “UFP521-1a45.100.” This also applies to any referenced section in the manual.
Thus, clicking “Section 2.0” in the manual will jump to that section or an appropriate page in that
section. However, there is no return link to the source page.
6. In addition, there are various editorial comments made regarding information or references to texts,
concepts or items stated or presented within the TOS episodes. These are indicated with a
superscripted bracket, such as: TEXT[n]. Clicking on the superscript will jump the reader to the
explanation in the Star Fleet Guide section of this manual. To return to the source page, click
anywhere on the descriptive text.

In this chapter the events leading up to the creation of the Department of the Star
Fleet will be discussed. Section 1.1 will present a brief history of the Federation and the
impetus to create a centralized armed peacekeeping force. In Section 1.2 the Articles of
Federation are presented that required the creation of a “Star Fleet.” The remaining
sections provide the reader with an understanding of the role of Star Fleet, as well as the
Federation bodies that govern it.

1.1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW[1]

In this section we will briefly review the events leading up to the establishment of the Star
Fleet. This, by no means, is a complete or comprehensive historical account, but simply
an overview in order to present the conditions which led to the creation of the Star Fleet
Service.
The history of the Federation begins with the exploration and colonization of deep space.
From the perspective of Earth, the road to interstellar space travel was a long and arduous
one. Wholesale manned space travel within the solar system did not take place until the
year 2033, and reached only to the planet Mars. What with wars and threats of global
destruction, Earth was predominantly preoccupied with self-preservation and material well
being. Nor did Earth have the resources or the will for such undertakings; in essence,
Earthmen were confined to their small sphere of travel within the solar system. For man,
the stars had to come to him[2].
Only contact with beings outside the solar system could provide the needed technology to
extend space travel beyond Earths' capabilities, specifically the capacity to attain speeds
approaching that of light. The first contact with life outside the solar system took place on
Earth with a civilization that had extensive knowledge of space navigation and propulsion
systems - the Vulcans. Contact first occurred in the year 2084. Their somewhat similarity
in appearance made it possible to form the strong and lasting relationship which is enjoyed
today. The benevolent nature of the Vulcans also made it possible for the people of Earth
to travel beyond their solar system by providing them with a workable Ion-drive engine.
With their newly assimilated knowledge, Earthman became engrossed in exploration and
colonization and consequently, many of the problems which faced Earthmen now seemed
petty indeed. It was during this period that the United Earth Space Probe Agency
(UESPA) was created to coordinate the exploration and colonization of deep space.
Earth outposts and colonies began to spring-up. Starting with Alpha Centauri and moving
outward, wide scale exploration became an obsession. However, manned exploration was
still limited by the speed and range of Earth's ion drive spacecraft. During this period there
were many efforts dedicated to work around this issue. Subsequently, in 2112, Zefram
Cochrane of Alpha Centauri developed a theory in which the speed of light could be vastly
exceeded. He called it the Space Warp Theory and was on the verge of publishing a
"Warp" engine design when he suddenly disappeared in 2116. This engine design would
have allowed spacecraft to operate at a greater range than previously thought possible.
However, it would be another seventy-five years before civilization was to utilize this new
technology on a wide scale.
The Vulcans, on the other hand, were not very interested in expanding their boundaries,
but were content in merely seeking knowledge. This symbiotic relationship with Earth
made it possible for both races to accomplish their goals for their mutual benefit. As the
widening sphere of exploration continued new races were contacted.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Many of the races contacted were primarily concerned with broadening their economic
position. Agreements were made to open the doors to free trade between the many races.
However, minor squabbles would frequently develop as entrepreneurs and governments
would lock horns over trade issues, especially since there was no law enforcement agency
or judicial body to settle disputes. To standardize business practices, a commission was
established in 2127 to regulate commerce between the member races. This allowed the
smooth and regulated interaction between the members utilizing clear Interplanetary
Rules of Business Conduct.
As part of the creation of the Interplanetary Rules, a loose Confederation of Planets

was formed that would unify the various planetary social systems to a standardized set of
commercial practices. In addition, the Confederation agreed to a common monetary unit
of exchange based upon the platinum standard - the Credit.
However, there were those who did not wish to have their conduct of business dictated to.
Some were only interested in selfish gain, price-fixing and monopolizing key markets, and
were not interested in free trade with fair and open markets. Privateers and pirates began
to flourish. With these pirates came violence and bloodshed, and there was little anyone
could do about it. The situation had worsened to the point that many space-going vessels
became armed cruisers as well as merchant ships. One group in particular was suspected
of large-scale piracy and violent attacks – the formerly unknown race called the Romulans.
Little was known of these interlopers since in almost all cases no witnesses were ever left
alive to tell of the horror. The Romulan ships were designed for combat and were usually
victorious in an armed confrontation with a merchant vessel. Trade began to slow down as
merchants were afraid to venture out into deep space.
Frustrated, many races began to meet in secret to resolve this issue. The thought of a
Federation was suggested and a Conference on Interplanetary Federation was
formed to construct the framework for such a "United Federation of Planets". The
Conference convened in 2130 on an undisclosed planet code-named Babel to draft the
Declaration of the United Federation of Planets and to create the Articles of
Federation. It was at this conference that the beginnings of the modern Federation
began to take shape.
The United Federation of Planets was composed of all five of the original members of
the Confederation of Planets in addition to many of the other systems plagued by the
Romulan menace. The Articles of Federation established the structure and rules under
which this new "Federation" was to function. To assure effective action, the Federation
Council was created to implement the decisions of the Federation.
One of the first duties of the new Federation Council was to protect Federation trade
against the pirates. As a result, the Federation Council established the Space Service,
which was charged with protecting Federation trade and to engage the pirates in battle.
Protection came in the form of converted merchant ships and specially designed armed
escort vessels. Merchant ships were to travel in convoys protected by the escort vessels.
Initially, this greatly reduced the pirating, but the Romulans pressed harder and became
bolder. An incident with one of the trade convoys resulted in the Romulan War of 2132.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Initially, the war with the Romulans was going somewhat badly. It seemed as though the
Romulans were winning the war. The tide of the war had changed when in late 2160 a
large fleet of ships from both sides met near the planet of Cheron. The battle raged on for
more than 72 hours. It was the largest campaign of the war – reminiscent of the old 20th
century Earth naval battles of Jutland, Midway and Leyte Gulf. In the end the Romulans
were utterly defeated. From this point forward the battles with the Romulans were fewer
in number; many had become simple skirmishes.
The Romulan War lasted for 31 years. Both sides had suffered heavy losses in men and
resources and it was becoming more evident that the war would cost too much to continue
any further. To end hostilities, an armistice was declared in 2163 and a peace treaty was
negotiated entirely by sub-space radio three years later. The treaty, which was called the
Treaty of Algeron, established a "Neutral Zone" between the two territories in which
none of the parties were allowed to trespass. This agreement remains to this day.
After the war, the original Conference on Interplanetary Federation met again and
completed the Articles of Federation originally drafted before the Romulan War. After
examining the effects of the war, it was decided that a strong centralized government was
needed in order to meet any new threat that might exist. The Articles of Federation
were revised to allow a strong central government while allowing the member planets to
maintain their own sovereignty. In addition, it was decided that a unified peacekeeping
force would be created to protect trade and maintain consistency in law and order out in
deep space. The five original members finally ratified the Articles of Federation in 2186.
The creation of a Star Fleet was more a reaction to war than anything else. The member
planets, being exhausted by war, established the Star Fleet as a virtually independent
organization to protect the Federation and to explore space. The primary reason for an
independent Star Fleet was mainly a result of the failures and losses that occurred during
the Romulan war. Many of the battles with the Romulans were lost as a result of the poor
command of battle forces by Federation government officials who had no experience in
the conduct of war. The Space Service forces were quite disorganized, with no central
qualified authority to coordinate its activities. This, alone, resulted in the war lasting for
over 30 years.
The next 50 years of Federation history was known as the Reconstruction Period.
During this period, the member systems of the United Federation had lost much of their
spirit of adventure and were all too busy repairing the destruction caused by the war. In
addition, Federation members were no longer interested in independent exploration, but
only wished to continue commerce in the usual manner in order to rebuild their economies
devastated by the war. It would have to be up to the new Star Fleet to seek out new life,
new civilizations and new wealth. This was the primary reason it took so long to ratify the
Articles of Federation.
The Star Fleet Service was officially launched in 2207 to replace the old Space Service.
It took eleven years to complete the Department of the Star Fleet infrastructure and to
create the regulations upon which it was to operate. To create Star Fleet the best military
minds of all the members were gathered to develop the policies and the long-term Star
Fleet Strategic Plan. The military leaders of the member armed forces were assembled
into the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff, the group that constitutes the Military Staff
Committee. It was up to the Federation Joint Chiefs to develop the procedures and
policies regarding the operation of the Star Fleet.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Star Fleet was initially composed of the line ships and converted merchantmen used
during the Romulan War. These vessels were used as patrol ships within the Federation
Treaty Zone maintaining Federation law and regulating space traffic. In addition, the
Articles of Federation authorized the construction of twelve Naval Class Cruisers to
build up the fleet as well as to establish "Starbases" throughout the Federation Treaty
Zone. The new ships were to incorporate the latest technological developments including
the use of the newly developed Warp-drive technology.
In 2212 the first drawings for the new Constitution Class Starships were completed.
During the next six years the internal components of the new ships were being designed
and manufactured. In addition, construction began in 2214 on the enormous space station
which was to be the central headquarters of Star Fleet Command and designated Star
Base Central. This base was to be built at the geometric center of the Federation
Treaty Zone.
The design of the NCC Starships proceeded very slowly. This was mainly due to the slow
influx of funds from the member planets. The planets, at this time, were still recovering
from the war. In addition, the new Warp-drive engines themselves posed a sizeable design
problem. New materials had to be developed in order for the new ships to withstand the
stresses exerted on them as a result of "warping" space. Also, the design criteria for these
new super ships required a sustained operating cycle of ten years, but the Warp engines
up to this time could only operate for 6-9 months before they required maintenance and
refueling. It was not until the year 2220 that the keel of the first Constitution Class
Starship was laid. The first ship took seven years to complete; with the last of the original
twelve commissioned in 2243.
The first Starship entered active service in 2228 after a one-year trial period. The mission
of the new Starships was to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone and to establish Star
Fleet outposts along its borders to ensure compliance with the Romulan treaty of 2166.
These outposts were designed to replace the old "Earth" outposts built after the Romulan
war. These outposts were constructed over a mile below the surface of the large asteroids
which dotted that area of space. In addition, Federation space had to be mapped and
Starbases were to be constructed at strategic locations throughout the territory. The key
function of these Starbases was to act as relay points from the central command to the
remote commands and forces.
During the period between 2228 and 2230 most of the Federation Treaty Zone had
been mapped. In 2231, the Federation began to embark on a program of exploration and
colonization of space outside the Treaty Zone. Although space exploration was performed
during the old Confederation, the new impetus for exploration and colonization was to
expand Federation boundaries instead of seeking new markets. As a result of the war,
the Federation felt the need to increase its presence and power, and to form buffer areas
that would provide additional security from more aggressive powers.
In accordance with the Articles of Federation, the responsibility for exploration was the
task of Star Fleet. Star Fleet was ideally suited for the task in light of the security aspect
of exploration. As such, specialized survey vessels were designed to carry out the function
of exploration that were armed primarily for self-defense. In addition to these specialized
exploration and survey vessels, line Starships were also utilized for exploration as part of
their patrol mission.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Since the scope of the mission of the Starship was expanded, Star Fleet Command
determined that the patrol cycle length of the line ships had to be extended. Thus was
developed the concept of the five-year mission. The first of such missions occurred in 2231
when the cruiser U. S. S. Enterprise (NCC-1701), commanded by Captain Robert T. April,
was ordered to patrol the Romulan Sector. From that point onward, all line Starships
were placed on a five-year mission cycle.
The first major test of Star Fleet came in 2251 when several member systems took up
arms and began fighting amongst themselves over trade agreements. This threatened the
very stability of the Federation as other member systems began to take sides in the
conflict. The Supreme Assembly was in chaos. About half the delegates boycotted the
assembly and did not show up to vote.
The Federation Council, now made up of only four of the original signatory members,
met to decide how the situation should be handled. The Federation Council demanded
that all the parties meet to peacefully settle their disputes, but they ignored the Council.
The Council then had no choice but to forcibly end the conflict by employing Star Fleet
forces. As a result, the Federation Council President exercised his authority under
ARTICLE 42 of the Articles of Federation and sent an armed Star Fleet force against
the belligerents to stop the conflict.
Since most of the conflict occurred within the Federation Treaty Zone, the forces that
were employed were those comprising one of the two standing flotillas assigned to the
zone. The Flotilla Commander assembled a force of several squadrons to deal with the
conflict. In the meanwhile, Star Fleet Intelligence intercepted several coded messages
and determined that a large gathering of opposing vessels was assembling near the planet
of Axanar. However, the Force Commander could not send his entire force to the region
since many of his ships were engaged at other locations. Instead, he sent a squadron to
the area to engage in a delaying action until other forces could be mustered.
Captain S. Ihnat Garth of Izar was in command of the small squadron of destroyers against
a force twice the size of his own. During the engagement Captain Garth was able to split
the opposing force causing chaos among the belligerents and in so doing, damaged or
destroyed half of the ships engaged in this conflict. The battle was a complete victory for
Captain Garth and Star Fleet, which earned him a promotion to Rear Admiral and later
to become a Fleet Commander*.
The Battle of Axanar, as it came to be known, proved the effectiveness of Star Fleet
forces to stop such a conflict, which kept the Federation together. The unique tactics
employed by Captain Garth to win the battle are still being studied and taught today.
*In the early days of the Confederation the title of Fleet Commander was also known as Fleet Captain.

THE STAR FLEET TODAY
The Star Fleet of today is a vast and growing organization. At this time the Operating
Forces of the Star Fleet is composed of eight fleets, two flotillas and five battle groups.
The entire Star Fleet Force consists of nearly 600 spaceships and 214 bases of various
sizes and functions, along with approximately 850,000 active duty officers and technicians.
The fleet is made up of 375 first line combatants and 222 support ships with a total crew
force of about 142,000. Star Fleet also maintains a standing armed force of about
401,000 combat-ready troops, and a Reserve force of 102,000 personnel of various
disciplines. These troops will be stationed at the various Starbases and Star Fleet
Garrisons throughout the Federation. Star Fleet has 29 major Starbases, 41 Star
Fleet stations, 68 outposts, 12 garrisons and 33 support facilities with a total force of
about 142,000.

1.2 THE ARTICLES OF FEDERATION[3]

The Articles of Federation were established to unite the different cultures and races
within the federated territory to a common social contract. The function of the Articles is to
unify the differing political systems to one central authority while maintaining the intra-
system individuality of the member governments. As a result, the Articles of Federation
is the constitutional law of the United Federation of Planets.
The Articles of Federation were initially ratified by the original five worlds of the former
Confederation: the United Nations of Sol-Earth, the Planetary Confederation of
40 Eridani, the United Planets of 61 Cygni, the Star Empire of Epsilon Indii, and
the Alpha Centauri Concordium of Planets. It was this document, the Articles of
Federation, which established the United Federation of Planets. However, the planet
Vulcan was not one of the original signatory worlds due to political divisions within the
Vulcan High Council. It was only during the Romulan War that Vulcan decided to formally
join the Federation and in 2191, signed the Articles of Federation.
In addition, the Articles of Federation established the Treaty Exploration Territory,

also known as the Federation Treaty Zone, which forms the core space of the United
Federation of Planets. Basically, the Treaty Zone is roughly a spherical volume of
space about 20.8 light-years in radius, with its center point fixed approximately 2.1 light-
years from Earth at 0.1 hour right ascension and –14.1 degrees declination as measured
from Earth. This volume encompasses over 1000 cubic parsecs of space; and all the worlds
within this area were invited to join the newly formed Federation.
The United Federation of Planets is a conglomeration of sovereign worlds, many of

which are not signatory worlds to the Articles, but voluntarily joined the new Federation.
As such, these members will enjoy the privilege of having a place on the Federation
Council, though temporary. However, only the original five signatory worlds will hold a
permanent seat on the Federation Council.
It is this base document, the Articles of Federation, which authorized the formation of
the Star Fleet Service as the armed peacekeeping force of the United Federation of
Planets. In addition, the original document authorized the construction of twelve capital
battle cruisers to expand the fleet and establish the standard of vessels that will constitute
the new Star Fleet.
The Articles of Federation is presented here in its entirety to acquaint the reader with
the origins of Star Fleet, and the principles that govern the functioning of the United
Federation of Planets.

1.3 THE FEDERATION COUNCIL

The Federation Council is the executive branch of the Federation government and has
the authority and responsibility of creating and executing Federation law and policy. In
addition, the Federation Council is the controlling authority over all the military and
peacekeeping forces of the Federation through its Military Staff Committee. However,
the Federation Council comes under direct supervision of the Supreme-Secretariat as
illustrated in Figure 1a13.1.
The Federation Council itself is made up of the five permanent and six non-permanent
members of the United Federation. Each member may send only one representative to
sit on the Federation Council. Other non-member systems, not designated to sit on the
council, are allowed to send one representative to act as observers and may participate in
the discussions of the council, but cannot vote or attend closed sessions. These system
representatives are called non-voting delegates.
Periodically, Federation Council members will be replaced by their respective member

governments. The length of service of any Federation Council member is determined by
the member government.
The council is presided over by the Federation Council President. The President is a
member of the Federation Council elected by the members. The President's term of
office is two years, which is the normal session length of the Federation Council. No
single member elected President shall hold that office for more than four session periods
or eight years.
Generally, a two-thirds (2/3) majority is required in the Federation Council on all issues
under its consideration. As such, it requires a minimum of seven of the voting members to
pass any resolution brought to the attention of the council.
The agencies under the direction of the Federation Council are shown on Figure 1a13.2,
and a description of their functions is provided in Table 1a13.1. The authority that these
agencies hold was given to them by the Federation Council with concurrence provided
by the Supreme Assembly. The enforcement of the standards and regulations generated
by these agencies, such as Transportation and Commerce, was given to the Star Fleet as
authorized by the Federation Council.
Within the Federation Council the organization responsible for producing the policies
required to maintain Federation peace and security is called the Federation Security
Council. The Security Council is tasked with collecting intelligence information, and
based upon such information, generate and maintain the Federation Strategic Plan.
The Security Council is also responsible for generating policies in the arena of political
interaction with non-member systems. In addition, the Security Council is tasked with
investigating applications to the United Federation by non-member systems and to
make recommendations regarding the disposition of such applications.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The implementation of Federation law is basically the responsibility of the Federation

Department of Justice. The Justice Department is the chief law enforcement agency
for the United Federation. It is headed by the Federation Attorney General, who is
the chief prosecutor and law enforcement officer of the Federation. In addition, the
Attorney General is the chief counselor acting on behalf of the United Federation in
cases involving the government of the Federation in the Interplanetary Supreme
Court of Justice.
Although the Justice Department is the primary law enforcement agency, the actual
task of enforcing Federation laws is placed upon Star Fleet. The purpose of this is to
combine the law enforcement function with the peacekeeping function into a uniform
security force. This would avoid separate agencies from interfering with each other when
their functions and responsibilities may conflict or are duplicated.
The Department of Foreign Relations within the Federation Council has the primary
responsibility for the maintenance of interplanetary peace and security through mediation,
negotiation and other measures as required in ARTICLE 33 of the Articles of Federation.
This responsibility will typically be carried out by deploying ambassadors and diplomats
throughout and outside the United Federation. Federation diplomats represent the first
step in the process of settling disputes and will communicate the policies of the United
Federation. However, where no Federation ambassador or consul exists in deep space,
it becomes the responsibility of Star Fleet to perform the diplomatic functions of the
Federation.
In general, the execution of Federation policy and the conduct of war will be handled by
the Military Staff Committee, the military organization established in ARTICLE 47 of the
Articles of Federation. The Military Staff Committee is made up of the Chiefs of
Staff of the permanent members of the Federation Council and is presided over by the
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Military Staff Committee basically has the role
of advice and consent regarding the conduct of war and military matters. The Military
Staff Committee will be described in more detail in Section 1.4 of this volume.

1.4 THE MILITARY STAFF COMMITTEE

ARTICLE 47 of the Articles of Federation established the Military Staff Committee as
the primary organization responsible for executing Federation policy and to ensure the
peace and security throughout the Federation. As such, the Military Staff Committee
was given the role of advice and consent regarding the conduct of war and other military
matters, and is to be composed of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the member systems that
sit on the Federation Council, the Federation Intelligence Agency and the Office of
Management and Budget as illustrated in Figure 1a14.1.
The Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) is a committee composed of the chiefs of
staff of the five permanent members, the Director: Star Fleet Command and the other
commanders of the home forces of those worlds that are members of the Federation. It
is the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff that will formulate the policies regarding the
conduct of military operations and forces throughout the United Federation of Planets.
It should be noted that conspicuously missing from the JCS is a member from the planet
Vulcan. This was mainly due because the Vulcans were originally opposed to a permanent
military organization.
Presiding over the member Chiefs of Staff and therefore, the head of the Military Staff
Committee, is the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs reports directly to the Federation Council President, and is the senior military
officer over all Federation forces and therefore, will take precedence over all the force
Commanders throughout the entire Federation. The chairman advises the President
regarding all matters relating to the military functions that are under the cognizance of the
Federation Council. In addition, the Chairman also sits on the Federation Security
Council and reports to the council on all matters concerning the peace and security of the
galaxy.
During times of war, the Chairman has the additional role of Commander-in-Chief:
Combined Federation Forces or CINCCOMFOR, which is responsible for developing
and executing the plans and strategies for the successful conduct of any war. This is an
awesome responsibility since the Commander-in-Chief would be in command of all the
ships and men of all the members of the United Federation as well as Star Fleet. In
addition, the Chairman must keep the President informed on the goals, objectives and
progress of campaigns and battles conducted by him. However, during such times of war
or conflict, the President may replace the Commander-in-Chief at any time with any
qualified Commander of his or her choosing.
In times of peace, the Chairman has the responsibility of ensuring the preparedness of all
the military forces within the Federation. As such, he is responsible for establishing and
managing the military budget for the entire United Federation. Besides Star Fleet, the
United Federation will also provide funds to the local system forces so that they may be
maintained to Star Fleet standards in the event they become needed.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The responsibility for selecting the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs resides solely with the
Federation Council President. The President will normally task the Military Staff
Committee to select one of its members and to present their recommendation to the
President. The President, in turn will either accept the Committee's recommendation
or nominate his own candidate. The President will then submit his pick to the Supreme
Assembly for review and approval. The Chairman is term-limited to two Federation
Council session periods or four years, or when the Chairman is relieved of duty or retires
from service.
Within the Military Staff Committee the Federation Intelligence Agency has the
responsibility of coordinating the intelligence operation of the entire Federation, and to
advise the Federation Council President and the Security Council on all matters
pertaining to the security of the United Federation of Planets. The agency is headed by
the Director of Federation Intelligence who is charged with gathering all information
on galactic affairs both inside and especially, outside the Federation.
The Intelligence Agency has both military and civilian personnel engaging in intelligence
operations. Specifically, personnel from Star Fleet Intelligence will work closely with the
Federation Intelligence Agency on matters pertaining to military intelligence. The
agency is composed of many departments specializing in specific intelligence functions.
However, it is beyond the scope of this manual to itemize or reveal the specific intelligence
operations performed by the Intelligence Agency.
Lastly, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is tasked with analyzing and
overseeing the budgets and expenses of the areas within the purview of the Military
Staff Committee. It is the OMB that submits the annual budget to the Federation
Council for approval, and it is through the OMB that Star Fleet receives its funding and
the financial resources to operate. Star Fleet Command submits its budget every two
years – the standard budget cycle. This is because the funding for the many Federation
agencies is performed bi-annually. The budget and funding process cannot be performed
on a yearly basis due to the size and complexity of the Federation government and the
many agencies contained therein. In addition, it is difficult to induce the many worlds of
the Federation to provide the funding. It is simply impossible to create a budget on an
annual basis.

1.5 THE STAR FLEET SERVICE

The Star Fleet Service was created under Chapter 8 of the Articles of Federation to
be the principal armed peacekeeping force of the United Federation of Planets. In
addition, the Articles also directed that Star Fleet be the primary scientific and exploration
arm of the Federation as well.
The Star Fleet Service, also known as Star Fleet or Starfleet, was officially established
and organized under the Department of the Star Fleet in 2207 to replace the former
Space Service. As it is, Star Fleet performs the same job today as those naval vessels of
Earth did over two hundred years ago. In those days the ships of the major Earth powers
were assigned to patrol specific areas of Earth’s oceans. They represented their
governments in those areas and protected the national interests of their respective
countries. These fleets regulated trade, fought regional wars, lending aid to scientific
expeditions, conducted exploration, engaging in diplomatic exchanges and affairs, and
even becoming involved in minor matters as searching for lost explorers or helping
travelers in distress return to their homes. For them being remote meant stationed at
some distant place on the globe. For Star Fleet it means operating at the outer edge of
the galaxy, light-years away from any civilization. Nothing really has changed since those
early days.
The key word is “service”. Star Fleet basically provides a service, or rather services to the
Federation. The primary service Star Fleet provides is protection. This service includes
the military protection of the Federation against its enemies foreign and domestic, the
protection of the freedoms guaranteed to the citizens of the Federation through the
protection of trade and commerce, and the freedom to move about Federation space in a
lawful manner. Another service is scientific. Star Fleet sciences add to the Federation’s
body of knowledge. And finally, Star Fleet provides support services to the many colonies
in and around Federation space.
At this time the Operating Forces of the Star Fleet is composed of eight permanent
fleets, two flotillas and five battle groups. The entire Star Fleet Force consists of 598
spaceships and 214 bases of various sizes and functions, along with 675,000 active duty
officers and technicians. The fleet is made up of 375 first line combatants and 222 support
ships with a total crew force of about 141,210. Star Fleet also maintains a standing army
of about 400,930 combat-ready troops, and a Reserve force of 102,000 personnel of
various disciplines. These troops are stationed at the various Starbases and Star Fleet
Garrisons throughout the Federation. To support this force Star Fleet has 29 major
Starbases, 41 Star Fleet stations, 68 outposts, 12 troop garrisons and 33 other support
facilities with a total crew force of about 127,950.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BRANCHES OF SERVICE
The Department of the Star Fleet, from the very inception of the Service, is divided
into three parts or branches: The Executive, The Operating Forces, and The Shore
Establishment. These branches are defined within the Star Fleet Charter, which will be
discussed in Chapter 2. In addition, the interrelationships between these branches are also
defined in Star Fleet Regulations, as will be presented in Chapter 3 of this manual. Each
branch functions somewhat independently, but all report to The Executive branch.
The Executive branch refers to the central executive offices of the Department known as
Star Fleet Command (SFC). Star Fleet Command contains all those divisions and
offices devoted to the administration of the Department as a whole. As such, all officers
assigned to this branch of service will have the designation of SFC behind their title.
The Operating Forces consists of all the fleets, forces and ships within the Star Fleet
Service, which essentially comes under Star Ship Command (SSC). All personnel who
command or are assigned to ships, vessels and fleets will have the designation of SSC
placed behind their title. The Operating Forces also includes the Star Fleet Marine
Corps (MMC), which is a separate command within the Department and which consists of
the troops used for ground combat operations. All personnel within the corps will have the
designation of MMC placed behind their title.
The Shore Establishment is composed of all the Star Fleet bases, stations, outposts
and other ground and space facilities used to support the fleet. This branch is known as
Star Base Command (SBC) and all personnel who command or are assigned to bases,
stations and like facilities will have the designation of SBC placed behind their title. The
only exception to this is Star Base Central, which is manned almost entirely by Star
Fleet Command personnel.
In general, officers within the aforementioned branches of the Service are referred to as
“Line Officers”, or officers that are eligible to command any force or office within these
branches. However, Star Fleet also contains officers that are restricted to duty within a
specific specialty, and are known as “Staff Corps Officers”. Also, though not specifically
designated as branches of the Service, Star Fleet contains several divisions or offices
dedicated to specific specialties that will normally be commanded by a Staff Corps officer,
and like the SSC and SBC branches, operate somewhat independently, but that will still be
under the direction of Star Fleet Command as illustrated in the diagram below.

STAR FLEET SERVICE CORPS
As described in the previous section and illustrated in Figure 1a15.1 Star Fleet is made up
of several branches and Staff Corps. Those of the Staff Corps are specialists in career
fields which are professions unto themselves, such as physicians, lawyers, civil engineers,
etc. All Staff Corps Officers are restricted to duty within their specific specialty and as
such, are designated as Limited Duty Officers or LDOs. The following table lists all the
Staff Corps branches within Star Fleet. All officers belonging to a Staff Corps will have
the designation, as listed in the table below, behind their rank or title.

STAR FLEET SYMBOLS
The primary symbols of the Star Fleet Service are the arrowhead and the star. The star
indicates that the Service extends to the stars; that it is a deep space organization that
travels to the far reaches of space, and that it is a shining beacon of hope to all those in
need. The arrowhead shows that the Service moves forward; that the Service is ever
moving towards the stars through exploration and to better the human condition. Also, a
secondary symbol of the Service is the starburst or nova. This is a symbol of energy and
power, and used to indicate the power and authority of the Star Fleet Service.
THE STAR FLEET STAR
The Star Fleet star symbolizes that it is a space-going organization, one that reaches for
the stars. It has five points, which represent the five signatory members that created the
original Federation. The two main versions of the star are illustrated below. The left star
is the original one established when Star Fleet was created. It is used in the emblem for
the Department of the Star Fleet as can be seen in the headers of this very document.
The star on the right is the later simplified version, which is used throughout the Service as
the symbol of command.
Figure 1a15.2
THE STAR FLEET STAR
The original symbol for the Star Fleet is illustrated in Figure 1a15.3 below. This symbol,
at one time, was prominently displayed on the dress uniforms of all Star Fleet personnel.
Also, this version of the star has such value as it is used on many of the medals issued for
conspicuous service, including the Star Fleet Medal of Honor.
Figure 1a15.3
STAR FLEET STAR

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
THE STAR FLEET ARROWHEAD
As stated, the arrowhead, also known as the spearhead or “dart”, means that Star Fleet
moves forward as the motto of Star Fleet states: “to boldly go where no one has gone
before.” The arrowhead also means that Star Fleet has magnitude and direction, and that
it proceeds with speed and accuracy. The arrow points the way to a better Federation.
According to standards, the arrowhead is displayed prominently almost everywhere in the

Service. The two primary forms for the arrowhead symbol (horizontal and vertical) are
shown below.
Figure 1a15.4
THE STAR FLEET ARROWHEAD
The horizontal arrow on the left essentially symbolizes Star Fleet Command, which can
be seen displayed in the offices of Star Fleet Command. This arrowhead is also used on
the Commissioning Pennants of every ship and craft in Star Fleet. A yellow version of
this arrowhead, as shown in Figure 1a15.5, will be displayed on the pennant right up front
in the direction of travel.
The three vertical arrowheads on the right will typically be worn on the duty uniforms of
everyone within the Operating Forces of the Star Fleet. These particular versions, with
the star, indicates a command function.
The horizontal arrowhead is sometimes modified or stylized to fit the needs of a particular
division within the Department. As such, there are several variants to this version of the
arrowhead as seen in the table below.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
THE STAR FLEET STARBURST
As previously stated, the starburst is the symbol of energy and power, and is used to
indicate the power and authority of the members of Star Fleet Command. This symbol is
also called the nova or exploding star hurtling its mass into all directions of space, creating
a new entity. As such, this symbol will be used to indicate the exploration and colonization
function of Star Fleet, which is used to expand the territories of the Federation. Those
working within the Star Fleet Command organization will primarily wear this symbol on
their duty uniforms.
There are two versions of the starburst: the 12-point and the 10-point. The gold 12-point
nova is the symbol of the Star Fleet admiralty and is worn on the duty uniforms of Star
Fleet Command personnel with the rank of Rear Admiral and above. All other Star
Fleet Command personnel wear the silver or gold 10-point badge on the duty uniform.
As an indicator of power and authority the 10-point starburst was designed to exemplify
the ten primary organizations or divisions that constitute the Department of the Star
Fleet.

1.6 LOCAL FEDERATION FORCES

In accordance with Paragraph 1, ARTICLE 2 of the Articles of Federation, each social
system within the United Federation territory shall maintain its sovereignty and as such,
has the right to maintain an armed force as guaranteed in ARTICLE 51 of the Articles of
Federation. The forces of these systems are called Local Forces since they serve the
local planetary social system to which they were established. The current list of Local
Forces is presented in Table 1a16.1.
The primary function of Local Forces is to protect the interests of, and uphold the laws
and regulations within the territorial boundaries of the local system government to which
they belong. Therefore, these forces do not normally venture out beyond the boundaries in
which they have jurisdiction. However, Star Fleet, having exclusive jurisdiction outside
the boundaries of these systems, does not have any authority over the Local Forces
while they operate within their respective systems.
Not every system within the Federation will have its own Local Force. Many rely totally
on the protection of the Federation and therefore, Star Fleet. However, whether a
system maintains an armed force or not each member system is required to fulfill its
obligations to support Star Fleet in any way as required in ARTICLE 49 of the Articles of
Federation. This obligation includes, but is not limited to, funding support, assignment of
contingent forces, military assistance, access to ports and facilities, and Rights of
Passage.
In times of war or conflict member systems are required, under ARTICLE 43 of the
Articles of Federation, to transfer a portion or all of their Local Force to Star Fleet for
the defense of the Federation. In such situations the Local Force will be merged into
Star Fleet and therefore, would be subject to its directives and regulations. Together,
they develop into a unified Federation force under the direction of the Commander in
Chief: Combined Federation Forces.
Periodically, Local Forces will become involved in joint exercises with Star Fleet forces.
These exercises are designed to maintain the forces of the Federation in a high state of
readiness, and to test these forces in varying tactical situations. In such situations the
Local Force will function as a separate unit retaining its own command structure, but
under the complete command of Star Fleet.
The initial Star Fleet force was composed of assigned contingents of the Local Forces of
the member systems as required by ARTICLE 45 and Paragraph 1 of ARTICLE 52 of the
Articles of Federation. This provision permitted the immediate establishment of a Star
Fleet force ready to repel any invading force under a unified command structure. The
following table lists the primary Local Forces of the Federation.

2.0 THE STAR FLEET CHARTER[1]

In this chapter the Star Fleet Charter is presented. The Charter is the governing
document that outlines how Star Fleet is to be organized and operate. Section 2.1
explains the Executive Order that initiated the creation of the Department of the Star
Fleet. In Section 2.2 the entire charter is presented. The remaining sections describe in
more detail the functions and authorities of Star Fleet as outlined in the charter.

2.1 EXECUTIVE ORDER 521

When the Articles of Federation was ratified, a commission was created to establish the
departments and agencies required for the administration of the Federation government
in accordance with Chapter III of the Articles of Federation. As such, the Federation
government was created through Executive Orders issued by the Federation Council
President.
Each Executive Order was designed to implement a specific article within the Articles of
Federation, and was numbered according to the specific article the order was tasked to
address. In the case of ARTICLE 52 of the Articles of Federation, it specifically named
a "Star Fleet" as the primary military and peacekeeping force of the United Federation
of Planets. Therefore, and in accordance with ARTICLE 52, the Federation Council
President issued Executive Order 521, or UFP521, which was designed to create the
Department of the Star Fleet. The Executive Order deferred to the Military Staff
Committee the task of creating the organization, which would eventually become known
as the Star Fleet.
The order itself was divided into four directives: to develop an administrative structure,
establish regulations that would govern the operation of Star Fleet and to gather the
physical and personnel resources necessary to get the fleet underway.
In order to equip and staff the Star Fleet, Directive 3 of the order, in accordance with
ARTICLES 43 and 52 of the Articles of Federation, required that the Star Fleet initially
be composed of a portion of the operating forces of the signatory members of the United
Federation of Planets. In the case of Earth, about 75 percent of its military forces were
absorbed into and became the Star Fleet. The planet Vulcan only provided a minuscule
contingent to the fleet because of a division among many in the Vulcan High Council[2].
Most of the other members of the Federation adjoined approximately 30 percent of their
total force. The balance of the member forces would remain to become their security or
"Local" force to operate within their respective system.

Federation Executive Order 521
Pursuant to ARTICLE 52 of the Articles of Federation, the Military Staff Committee shall establish the
Department of the Star Fleet as the armed peacekeeping force of the United Federation of Planets and as
such, shall be responsible for the defense, regulation and maintenance of all territories and spaces of the
United Federation of Planets.
As a unified force, the Department of the Star Fleet shall have the authority over all forces, spacecraft, and
objects within the territorial boundaries of the United Federation of Planets, but shall respect, uphold and
protect the territorial integrity of all member systems within the Federation. Lastly, Star Fleet shall have the
authority to enforce all Federation laws and regulations for the maintenance of galactic peace and security.
Under the authority vested in the Federation Council President, the Military Staff Committee is hereby directed
to:
DIRECTIVE 521-1:
Establish a command organization to administer the Department of the Star Fleet, which shall be published for
approval by the Federation Council.
DIRECTIVE 521-2:
Establish regulations and procedures for the administration and control over the practices and policies of the
Department of the Star Fleet in accordance with Federation law.
DIRECTIVE 521-3:

and to procure the material and equipment needed to bring Star Fleet to a state of operational readiness so that
it can meet the needs and missions to which it is assigned.
DIRECTIVE 521-4:
Obtain, equip and prepare the personnel necessary to carry out the missions of the Department of the Star
Fleet, to instill in such personnel a high degree of professionalism and pride in their service, and to provide Star
Fleet personnel the support necessary in the performance of their duties.

2.2 STAR FLEET CHARTER

In 2203 the Military Staff Committee was tasked, under Executive Order 521, to
develop the structure, authority and operation of the Department of the Star Fleet. A
special task force composed of the military experts from all the signatory members of the
Federation was created to establish the structure of Star Fleet. The resulting document
was the Star Fleet Charter.
The task force met in the city of San Francisco on Earth since it was the closest planet to
the center of the Federation Treaty Zone. This was a fortunate coincidence since the
Federation Council had decided that the permanent headquarters for Star Fleet would
reside on a large base located at the geometric center of the Federation. This also was
convenient since the majority of Earth’s military forces were to be absorbed into the newly
created Star Fleet.
The Star Fleet Charter, along with the mapping of the entire organization, took slightly
over two years to develop. Many of the aspects of the structure and organization were
borrowed from the old military systems of 20 th century Earth. It was well known that Earth
had a strong military heritage, extensive expertise in military matters and in the conduct of
war. Therefore, the Military Staff Committee decided to adopt the hierarchical structure
characteristic of the old naval organizations of Earth.
In 2207, the first of the member system forces arrived on Earth for training and absorption
into the newly formed Star Fleet. An interim "Star Fleet Academy" was created from
the old Space Military Academy, built in 2161, at the military base in Alameda for the
training of the Star Fleet Officer Corps. In addition to military matters, the new Star
Fleet officers were educated in the articles presented in the Star Fleet Charter.
The Star Fleet Charter is the foundation for the final structure and the regulations to
which Star Fleet is to operate under. In essence, the Charter is the blueprint for the
Department of the Star Fleet. In addition, the Star Fleet Charter is an extension of
the Articles of Federation and as such was written in a similar format. The Charter is
divided into chapters containing consecutively numbered articles delineating the essential
missions, organizations and authorities given to Star Fleet.

2.3 STAR FLEET FUNCTIONS

In this section, and throughout the remaining sections, the individual chapters of the Star
Fleet Charter will be discussed in detail. Specifically, this section deals with the mission
and function of the Department of the Star Fleet.
PURPOSE OF THE STAR FLEET
When the Department of the Star Fleet was created in 2207 it was charged with
several duties and responsibilities. These duties and responsibilities are specified in the
Star Fleet Charter and can be broken-down into three basic functions:
1. To protect the peace and security of the United Federation of Planets, and to
provide aid and assistance to all its members,
2. To enforce Federation laws, regulate shipping and space travel, and to establish the
rules for safe navigation within the Federation territories, and
3. To perform basic research in the physical and life sciences, survey known and unknown
areas of space, and to expand Federation space through exploration and colonization.
In the following subsections, each of the above basic functions will be discussed in greater
detail. These functions will be examined by presenting them as independent agencies of
the Federation.
STAR FLEET AS A MILITARY FORCE
The primary function of Star Fleet is to protect the Federation, its properties, planets
and all its peoples. As such, Star Fleet is the Federation's first line of defense and in
times of war, it is Star Fleet that has the primary responsibility for the planning and
engagement of enemy forces within and outside Federation space. During such times,
Star Fleet has the authority, with the approval of the Federation Council, to declare
martial law, conscript personnel, assemble fleets, commandeer spacecraft and restrict
space travel and other movement within the Federation.
In order to most effectively carry out this function, Star Fleet maintains a large fleet of
warships and other armed vessels required to support its military role. The Articles of
Federation was written with the requirement that heavily armed "Starships" would be
constructed for the maintenance of peace and security. Specifically, ARTICLE 53 of the
Articles of Federation directs Star Fleet to design and build these powerful warships.
In addition to protecting the Federation from invading forces, the protection of trade is
also of vital interest to the Federation. Besides commercial products, much of the
needed raw materials for manufacturing must be transported from planet to planet inside
and outside the Federation. An interruption of the supply of needed critical materials
would greatly affect the economy and thus, the security of the Federation. Therefore, it
is necessary that the transport of these materials be protected at all times from enemies,
pirates and other illegal activities.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
However, the forces of the local systems cannot perform the protection and the free flow
of materials in deep space. These systems do not have the force size that can extend to
the far reaches of the Federation and simultaneously maintain a security force at home.
As such, a dedicated security force was needed to perform this function. The Federation
Council, tasked with the maintenance of interplanetary peace and security, decided early
on that a single Star Fleet would be required to perform the function of protecting trade
and regulating transport vessels, which would be performed through the normal patrol
assignments of Star Fleet ships. In particular, Star Fleet maintains two armed flotillas to
perform the task of patrolling the Federation Treaty Zone.
As part of its military duties, Star Fleet has the additional duty to aid any member system
in special emergency situations. Such emergencies may include military aid to put down
illegal rebellion or insurrection. In such circumstances the Federation Council will decide
whether it is appropriate for Star Fleet to aid the local force in any police action since it
cannot, on its own authority, interfere in the internal affairs of any member system as
prescribed by law. Only the Federation Council may direct such action.
In addition to military assistance, Star Fleet may be utilized to supply humanitarian aid to
any Federation system that requests it. In these situations, Star Fleet has the authority
to supply the affected planet with any material needed to mitigate the dangers the planet
or system is facing. As such, Star Fleet may be authorized to provide any of its property,
equipment, medicines or facilities to the affected system.
STAR FLEET AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY
In addition to protecting the Federation from invading forces, Star Fleet also has the
function of enforcing Federation laws within its boundaries. As such, Star Fleet will
function as a form of state police force monitoring the space lanes for vessel compliance
with Federation transportation laws and to ensure the safety of vessels within these
space lanes.
As part of its law-enforcement duty Star Fleet also has the responsibility to apprehend
and detain all criminals and fugitives from justice in Federation space. This includes
fugitives from foreign as well as from Federation authorities. However, Star Fleet may
only exercise this authority within Federation space, since it does not have the authority
to pursue or apprehend fugitives outside of Federation territory or within any member
system. This function belongs to the Local System Forces. In addition, Star Fleet does
not have the authority to pursue or apprehend fugitives outside of the Federation, except
in space not recognized as belonging to any social system or government.
In the enforcement of Federation laws Star Fleet has broad search and seizure powers.
With due cause, usually as a result of a routine ship scan, private as well as commercial
spacecraft can be stopped, boarded, and inspected by Star Fleet personnel for proper
documentation, content, safety equipment, and proper navigational beacons. As part of its
law-enforcement authority, Star Fleet can issue citations for the violation of any safety
regulation or ship handling practice. In addition, items found to be contraband can be
immediately confiscated, the ship seized, and the vessel's personnel incarcerated[3].

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Non-military vessels account for 80% of the traffic within the Federation Treaty Zone.
As such, the need for specific regulations, traffic corridors and space lanes are needed to
prevent collisions in space. Therefore, Star Fleet was given the responsibility to develop
and implement the Rules of Space Navigation. These rules, agreed to by all the worlds
and approved by the Federation Council, are designed to prevent collisions in space by
establishing basic ship handling standards and practices.
To regulate traffic density in the Treaty Zone, Federation vessels are required to submit
flight plans and other documents to Star Fleet outlining the intended destination, cargo,
passengers, course, nominal speed, and the specific corridor of travel. Only Star Fleet has
the authority to approve or disapprove any flight plan submitted. Any ship found to travel
without a flight plan or has diverted from their approved flight plan can be stopped, cited
or the vessel seized and the crew arrested.
Commercial and cargo vessels must also submit to Star Fleet a manifest listing the goods
and materials being transported by the vessel. Manifests and documentation are subject to
inspection by Star Fleet at any time, and vessel crews are required to cooperate with
Star Fleet authorities at all times.
Every vessel of the Federation must be registered and documented with Star Fleet and
cannot legally operate without such documentation. Star Fleet issues registry credentials
only after a complete inspection of the vessel has been completed. Spacecraft, which only
operate within a local system, need not register with Star Fleet, but are subject to seizure
should they travel outside the boundaries in which they are licensed to operate.
Operators of vessels must also be registered with Star Fleet. It is the responsibility of
Star Fleet to test and issue Pilot’s and Master's Licenses to individuals operating
spacecraft in deep space. These licenses allow an individual to legally operate any Star
Fleet registered spacecraft anywhere within the territorial boundaries of the Federation.
A Masters License must be renewed every four years, and can be revoked at any time
by Star Fleet. Individuals who are licensed to operate spacecraft only within a specific
system cannot operate spacecraft outside the boundaries of that system.
As part of its law enforcement role, Star Fleet also functions as the judicial arm of the
Federation in deep space. Federation courts do not extend to the outer boundaries of
Federation space and therefore, Star Fleet is empowered with judicial authority in the
outlying territories and as such, has the authority to establish courts within these regions.
Usually these courts are located at Starbases and some Star Fleet stations, but in the
extremely distant regions of Federation space, the Starship Commander has judicial
authority.
A Starship Commander can exercise judicial authority when, because of current tactical
conditions, he is unable to transport defendants to the nearest Star Fleet or Federation
facility in a timely manner. In such cases the Starship Commander may convene a court
consisting of his senior officers and a member of the crew acting as counselor for the
defendant. But in most instances, the Starship Commander will investigate the crime,
interrogate the individual and hand that person over to the nearest Star Fleet authority.
This power does not extend to Commanding Officers of Star Fleet support vessels, but
only to line Starship Commanders.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET AS A SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION
Star Fleet is the chief scientific and research agency for the Federation as stipulated in
ARTICLE 5 of the Star Fleet Charter. To meet this obligation, Star Fleet has established
many scientific and research divisions within its organizational structure. Such scientific
divisions include, but not limited to:
 Star Fleet Office of Science and Technology

 Star Fleet Office of Physical Science
 Star Fleet Office of Life Science
 Star Fleet Office of Social Science
 Star Fleet Office of Space Research
 Star Fleet Office of Agricultural Research
The pure scientific research Star Fleet will be engaged in ranges from astrophysics to
alien zoology. Such pure research is vitally important to Star Fleet, which has important
strategic benefits. For example, Star Fleet has been engaged since its beginning in the
examination and measurement of the gravitational fields of various stars. The importance
of these studies is obvious considering that Star Fleet ships utilize warp fields that are
highly sensitive to even minor gravitational fluctuations.
Besides the physical sciences, Star Fleet will also be engaged in large agricultural projects
as well. Most of this work is performed by some of the specialized agricultural colonies
established by Star Fleet. Their function is to determine what can be grown and the crop
yields produced under various soil, atmospheric, and climatic conditions. The knowledge
gained from these studies will be used to aid the many Federation colonies that exist
throughout the galaxy. Such knowledge could mean the difference between the success or
failure of an existing or planned colony.
In addition to pure scientific study, Star Fleet is also tasked with engineering research
and development. It is the function of Star Fleet to determine and develop practical
applications from the scientific knowledge gained. Such applications may include, but not
limited to, a new and improved Warp-drive system, a new weapon system, improvements
in the materials used to construct space stations, or a new food packaging system. Star
Fleet has many engineering research and testing facilities throughout the Federation,
including facilities at the Star Fleet Academy. In addition, Star Fleet has agreements
and contracts with many commercial manufacturers and technical institutes in the research
and development of new or improved technologies.
Finally, Star Fleet vessels, including line Starships, are equipped with laboratories and
other equipment for the performance of scientific research. When not actively involved in
military or other peacekeeping missions, a Starship on patrol is always engaged in some
form of scientific research. Such research may include the study of stellar and gravitational
phenomenon, planetary geological studies, life science studies, and any other studies that
would expand the knowledge base of the Federation, or that could be of some strategic
benefit to Star Fleet. Information gathered from scientific studies, unless deemed to be
vital to the security of the Federation, will usually be handed over to the general scientific
community on a regular basis.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
This particular function of Star Fleet, however, does not preclude any member system of
the Federation from initiating or sending scientific expeditions of their own; nor does it
limit any system's right to perform scientific discovery on its own. The Articles of
Federation is clear on this point, but also proposes that the knowledge gained from such
investigations be shared among all members of the Federation.
STAR FLEET AS AN EXPLORATION ORGANIZATION
Star Fleet is also the chief exploration and colonization agency for the Federation as
stipulated in ARTICLE 6 of the Star Fleet Charter. The rationale behind exploration and
colonization are as follows:
1. To survey and map the galaxy,

2. To expand Federation boundaries,
3. To establish Federation colonies,
4. To establish trade and commerce centers,
5. To find new sources of resources, and
6. To seek-out new civilizations.
During the early years of the Star Fleet, its exploration function consisted primarily of
surveying the Federation Treaty Zone to determine and set the physical boundaries of
the inner zone of the Federation. The information obtained from such surveys aided Star
Fleet in the developing the military and non-military travel corridors. Space travel lanes
and corridor maps were developed that provided the most efficient travel routes with a
minimum of navigational hazards. These early surveys were also designed to map and
inventory the geophysical objects within Federation space such as stars, planets and
asteroids.
Later, as the Treaty Zone was almost completely mapped, Star Fleet embarked on
exploration and surveys designed to expand the boundaries of Federation space. The
primary reason was to establish buffer zones and to extend the distances from potential
enemies to the home worlds. Buffer zones would allow Star Fleet the time to organize
and act on any invasion threat. When it later was determined that no direct threat to
peace existed, Star Fleet then opened the region up to colonization.
As part of its exploration role, Star Fleet was also tasked with finding new sources of
mineral and other resources. This is performed through mineralogical surveys conducted
by Star Fleet. These expeditions are generally initiated only after the initial survey vessels
have completed exploring a particular region of space. Star Fleet scientific teams will then
be sent to selected planets in the region to survey them for their resources. Unlike other
scientific expeditions, mineralogical expeditions are of a very short duration, usually 5 to 6
months. When their work is complete, the entire expedition is removed for reassignment
elsewhere. Information gained from these expeditions is sent to Star Fleet Command,
which determines if a permanent Star Fleet facility will be established, or the information
will be sent to commercial enterprises for competitive bidding.
In general, the exploration of space also provides a unique opportunity to discover new
worlds and civilizations. The strength of the Federation is greatly dependent on the
number of social systems under its banner. Therefore, it is imperative that Star Fleet
seek-out new civilizations, and to extend the arm of friendship to newly-discovered
systems in order that they may become part of the United Federation of Planets.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Although the administration of exploration activities will generally come under the control
of Star Fleet scientific divisions, the colonization aspect will come under the authority of
administrative divisions.
Private and commercial enterprises, as well as member system governments, will also
undertake exploration missions and establish private colonies. In such cases, Star Fleet
will only have law enforcement authority over enterprises that are established outside the
boundaries of a local system. In addition, Star Fleet will have no authority over private
colonies and expeditions that operate outside of Federation space. In such cases, these
enterprises take the risk of encroaching on the territory of a foreign government and may
be subject to their laws. However, should any private colony or expedition situated outside
of Federation space be in any danger, Star Fleet is authorized to enter and protect the
Federation citizens of such outposts. However, again, this responsibility only applies to
the colony citizens and therefore, Star Fleet does not have the responsibility of protecting
the private property of any colony or expedition that is located in foreign space.
STAR FLEET AS A CONSULAR AGENCY
Normally, it is the Department of Foreign Relations within the Federation Council

that has the power and authority of consul. It is the Foreign Relations Department
that assigns ambassadors to foreign and Federation governments, sends diplomats to
mediate and settle disputes, and to negotiate treaties and agreements with foreign or
domestic governments. However, where no Federation ambassador or diplomat is
available, it becomes the responsibility of Star Fleet to perform the diplomatic functions
of the Federation as specified in ARTICLE 7 of the Star Fleet Charter.
ARTICLE 29 of the Charter provides Star Fleet with the authority to mediate disputes
between social systems inside the boundaries of the Federation. This authority is given to
Star Fleet only when no Federation diplomat is available to settle the dispute. This
authority will most likely be exercised in the outer regions of the Federation and as such,
is given to the Area Commander - usually a Starship Commander. Starships do not
normally have ambassadors assigned to them, but when they do, particularly for a specific
diplomatic mission, the Starship Commander is subject to the authority of the embarked
ambassador[4]. The ambassador or Federation official may make reasonable requests of
the Commanding Officer relating to the execution of his or her mission, which must be
carried out. Such requests may include the requirement of the Starship Commander to
provide security forces, or suspend military action, or provide an investigative team[5]. But
the ambassador or official does not have the authority to direct the Commanding Officer
to perform any function that is outside the scope of the mission to which he is assigned[6],
or that would violate Star Fleet Regulations or any order the Commanding Officer
may be under.
Star Fleet, in the performance of its exploration function, may act in behalf of the United
Federation when new civilizations are discovered. This is a complicated process since the
actions that may be taken by Star Fleet and its personnel are subject to special directives
and laws. Specifically, the Non-interference Directive prohibits Star Fleet, or any
Federation person, from interfering with the normal development of any social system. In
order to function within the limits of the law, Star Fleet has established special "Contact
Procedures" when discovering new civilizations.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The “contact” process begins by ascertaining the level of technological development of the
discovered society. This can be performed by initial scans, but for civilizations with a low
level of technological development a small, specialized survey team is sent to quantify the
level of development. Only when the technological development is at a level similar to or
greater than the Federation can the Commanding Officer initiate the ambassadorial
process.
Although Star Fleet has the power of consul it does not have the authority to make or
sign agreements or treaties with any government on behalf of the Federation as required
under ARTICLE 32 of the Star Fleet Charter. Should any covenant be necessary, Star
Fleet must defer to the Foreign Relations Department and they will send a diplomat
or ambassador to negotiate and draft such agreements for Federation Council approval.
STAR FLEET AS AN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
To support its military and security role, Star Fleet will also be the primary source for all
military intelligence for the United Federation of Planets, as specified in ARTICLE 8 of
the Star Fleet Charter. Intelligence divisions within the Department of the Star Fleet
work with the Federation Intelligence Agency in gathering intelligence information and
to disseminate this information to the Security Council and to the Federation Council
President.
STAR FLEET AS A SUPPORT ORGANIZATION
As specified in ARTICLE 9 of the Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet is the primary agency for
the logistical support of all Federation colonies, outposts and expeditions. In addition to
logistical support, Star Fleet has the added responsibility of providing humanitarian and
any other assistance to any Federation system or entity when disasters occur.
Since Star Fleet initiated most of the colonies and expeditions, they are property of the
Federation and thus, come under the protection of Star Fleet. Therefore, it is the duty
and responsibility of Star Fleet to provide security and provisions to these colonies and
expeditions. Such support is usually in the form of prescheduled supply calls by the Star
Fleet Transportation Command. In addition to supply calls, Star Fleet will make calls
on colonies and expeditions for periodic health certifications, and to report on the condition
of such colonies and expeditions. In addition, Star Fleet will also frequently visit remote
colonies and expeditions to ensure the safety and security of these outposts.
In general, however, Star Fleet is not responsible for the logistical support of private or
commercial colonies or enterprises. This function is the responsibility of the organization
that established the colony or outpost. However, Star Fleet, in its security role, has the
responsibility for protecting these outposts, and their personnel, from invading forces or
illegal activity. In addition, Star Fleet has the responsibility to periodically inspect these
outposts for health and safety, compliance with Federation regulations, and to enforce
Federation law. In the enforcement of Federation law, Star Fleet will have jurisdiction
over all outposts and colonies contained within Federation space.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Humanitarian assistance is the responsibility of every member of the United Federation.

However, when a planet or social system is struck with disaster, it is the specific duty of
Star Fleet to come to the aid of the stricken planet or system. Aid may be in the form of
food or medical supplies and attention; to provide the equipment and materials needed to
mitigate or prevent the disaster from worsening; to provide transportation for evacuation,
and to provide, to the extent possible, shelter.
In addition to humanitarian support to planets and systems, Star Fleet has the duty and
responsibility to assist persons, ships and craft that are in distress in open space. Distress
in space may be defined as problems with the spacecraft, collision with another spacecraft,
persons stranded on a planet or in space, or persons lost in space. In all cases, the nearest
Star Fleet vessel is required to proceed with all possible speed to the vessel or persons in
distress, rescue persons in distress and render any aid or assistance as needed.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
2.4 STAR FLEET AUTHORITY

ARTICLE 47, Paragraph 3 and Chapter VIII of the Articles of Federation established the
Department of the Star Fleet, which was placed under the direction of the Federation
Council and through the Military Staff Committee. When the Star Fleet Charter was
developed, the Military Staff Committee decided, with the approval of the Federation
Council, to give Star Fleet unprecedented authority and autonomy. This was primarily
due to the fact that Star Fleet, operating at the fringes of the United Federation, would
have to act singly on matters pertaining to the Federation. And since the Director: Star
Fleet Command would sit on the Joints Chiefs of Staff, it was decided that there was
no need to have the Military Staff Committee directly oversee Star Fleet operations.
GENERAL STAR FLEET PREROGATIVES
General Star Fleet prerogatives are those particular privileges given to Star Fleet for the
administration and regulation of itself. These prerogatives are delineated in Chapter II of
the Charter. Specifically, ARTICLE 10 of the Charter specifies that: “Star Fleet shall operate
independently from other departments and agencies of the Federation. As such, the Star
Fleet shall have the authority to make policies and issue directives for its efficient
operation, and to formulate strategic plans and policies for current and future
requirements.” This, in essence, gives Star Fleet the authority to self-regulate, but still
under the direction of the Federation Council through its Military Staff Committee as
required in ARTICLE 1 of the Charter.
AUTHORITY TO MAKE INTERNAL POLICY
As previously stated, ARTICLE 10 of the Charter gives Star Fleet the freedom to make
policies and directives internal to the organization, which is the responsibility of Star Fleet
Command. Specifically, this authority is given exclusively to the Director: Star Fleet
Command as the senior officer of Star Fleet as stipulated in ARTICLE 39.
AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS
The basic structure and operating process for Star Fleet is codified in regulations as
required in ARTICLE 11 of the Charter. As such, Star Fleet developed and issued Star
Fleet Regulations describing the duties and responsibilities of every member of Star
Fleet Service. These are the lawful set of rules that all members of the Service must
follow. These regulations cover all that is embodied in the Star Fleet Charter.
In addition to Star Fleet Regulations, Star Fleet is also charged with establishing and
maintaining other regulations as well. For example, Star Fleet is charged with establishing
and enforcing rules governing the handling and navigation of vessels operating within
Federation space. These regulations are embodied in the Star Fleet Rules of Space
Navigation, which apply to all vessels that operate within Federation space. These rules
are universal to all Federation vessels, including Star Fleet, and also apply to vessels
that will only operate within local system boundaries as well. As such, Star Fleet is tasked
with patrolling space to enforce these regulations as required in ARTICLE 4 of the Charter.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Star Fleet is also the central authority regarding the designation, mapping and regulation
of space traffic corridors or flight paths within Federation space. Traffic corridors were
developed to allow the orderly flow of space traffic to and from the various systems of the
Federation. If such traffic corridors were not established, spacecraft would be travelling
in all directions, possibly resulting in collisions. As such, Star Fleet will patrol these areas
to ensure that the proper type of spacecraft is allowed in the proper corridor. To aid in this
regulation of traffic, Star Fleet assigned two flotillas of armed spacecraft to the Treaty
Zone for the purpose of law enforcement and traffic control. Thus, there are at least eight
squadrons of fast, light warships assigned to patrol the Treaty Zone.
Other regulations for which Star Fleet has dominion include developing and maintaining
the rules relating to the issuance and management of vessel operators licenses, as well as
the registration and inspection of commercial and private spacecraft that operate in open
space. As such, Star Fleet is the central authority from which all operators of spacecraft
within the Federation must apply in order to obtain such licenses. As part of its authority
Star Fleet will set the rules regarding the eligibility to operate spacecraft and will design
such tests and examinations as required to determine such eligibility.
However, because Star Fleet is an arm of the Federation government, Star Fleet is
exempt from such regulations, either in open Federation space or within local member
systems. As such, Star Fleet is not required to register their vessels with any government
and any registration or inspection of all its vessels will be handled by Star Fleet through
Star Fleet Regulations.
Regarding member systems, Star Fleet has no authority in matters concerning spacecraft
that will only operate within the territories of local system governments. However, the
regulations established relating to the operation and handling of spacecraft by Star Fleet
still apply to spacecraft that will only operate within a local system. Therefore, such vessels
must still adhere to the same Federation rules regarding space travel. This responsibility
will be left to the respective system authorities. However, Star Fleet will have authority
over any vessel that ventures out of their local system and into open Federation space.
Star Fleet policy regarding ship handling and navigation will be implemented through
directives issued by Star Fleet Command. These directives will typically be in the form of
General Orders issued to all commands in the fleet. General Orders will be described in
more detail in Section 2.6 of this volume and in Chapter 5 of Volume II.
AUTHORITY TO DELINEATE AND DELEGATE
Although the Director: Star Fleet Command has overall responsibility to execute the
policies of the Federation and of Star Fleet, his authority may also be delineated and
delegated to lesser commanders in the field. For example, authority is given to Starship
Commanders when dealing with foreign governments at the fringes of Federation
territory. This is because, in most cases, communications with the central authority may
require an extensive waiting period before any action or policy can be implemented. Action
may be necessary immediately and as such, field commanders need to have the freedom
to act instead of waiting for a directive from a higher authority. However, even in this case
Star Fleet Command must be notified regarding any and all actions taken.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY OVER CIVILIANS
With regard to non-Star Fleet or civilian personnel, ARTICLE 13 of the Charter stipulates
the relationship between Star Fleet and civilian personnel. In general, Star Fleet has no
direct authority over the civilian population while on their home planets, but only when
civilians venture out into deep space or are on Star Fleet property.
As earlier mentioned, Star Fleet has authority over all vessels that operate in open space.
As such Star Fleet has the authority to stop and hold private and commercial spacecraft
in open space for the purpose of inspection, operational violations or for other justifiable
reasons. In addition, Star Fleet may board, without warrant, any vessel for the purpose
of such inspection. Should significant violations be found, Star Fleet has the authority to
seize the vessel and haul it to any Star Fleet station or base to be impounded.
Also, Star Fleet Commanding Officers may detain civilians found under incriminating
circumstances in deep space. When this situation occurs, the Commanding Officer must
convene a hearing to investigate the nature of the offense or circumstance. Should such a
hearing conclude that a law had been violated, Star Fleet will hand the individual over to
the proper authority at its earliest convenience. Otherwise, the individual must immediately
be released.
Star Fleet also has full authority over all civilians employed by Star Fleet Command.
The Department of the Star Fleet has many civilians working at various levels within
the organization. Such individuals, though they do not fall under military discipline, still
must adhere to the regulations set down by Star Fleet.
In addition, civilians visiting Star Fleet facilities will be the responsibility of the command.
Any civilian visiting a Star Fleet facility must comply with all its regulations, directives and
instructions. Civilians violating any of the facility’s rules are subject to prosecution under
Federation law. Typically, Star Fleet will escort such individuals off the site and hand
them over to the local authorities since civilians cannot be prosecuted under military law.
Also, civilians embarked on Star Fleet vessels will be under complete authority of the
ship’s Commanding Officer. Civilians that violate ship regulations or that interfere with
the operating routine of the ship may be placed under arrest and confinement within the
ship’s detention facility.
AUTHORITY OVER CIVILIANS WITHIN MEMBER SYSTEMS
Generally, Star Fleet has no authority over civilians that are located inside any member or
non-member inhabited system within Federation space. The specific rights of sovereignty
of local systems and their citizens are explicitly stated in the Articles of Federation, and
in ARTICLES 14, 24 and 34 of the Star Fleet Charter. However, should a fugitive from
Federation justice make his or her way into a local system Star Fleet can make claim to
such an individual for arrest. In such circumstances Star Fleet will seek permission from
the local system government to enter the system and arrest or seize the property of the
fugitive regardless if that individual is or is not a citizen of that system. In such cases a
request for extradition will be submitted to the local authority and the local authority is
obliged to honor the extradition papers in accordance with Federation law and treaty.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO EQUIP THE FLEET
ARTICLES 16 through 18 of the Star Fleet Charter provide Star Fleet with the authority
to man and equip itself. This not only involves the authority to purchase equipment and
material, but to manufacture or fabricate its materiel needs as well. As such, Star Fleet
has several manufacturing facilities, docks and ship building facilities that provide it with
the equipment necessary to support its mission. In addition, Star Fleet will also maintain
contractual arrangements with many private and commercial manufacturers and suppliers
for the purpose of supplying its material needs as well.
CONTROL OVER STAR FLEET PROPERTY
In general, the property allocated by or produced for Star Fleet is for its exclusive use.
Therefore, Star Fleet has complete authority and control over how its property is to be
used or distributed, except for the restrictions as stated in ARTICLE 18 of the Charter. This
authority is given to Star Fleet to prevent the use, abuse or misuse of military property
by anyone, including other Federation government agencies and officials.
LATTITUDE IN DETERMINING FLEET NEEDS
ARTICLES 10, 16 and 17 give Star Fleet the authority to assess its own material needs in
order to fulfill the missions and responsibilities to which it is assigned. As such, Star Fleet
has complete freedom in determining:
a. The size of the fleet - how many ships, and of what class and size;
b. The size of the force - how much manpower is necessary to meet current and future
needs;
c. The size of the shore establishment – how many bases and space stations are
necessary, their size and where they are to be located;
d. The rate of pay of the force;
e. The amount of material and supplies needed to support the fleets, forces and bases,
as well as, the colonies, expeditions and other endeavors under Star Fleet control.
This is a very large task and is typically handled by the Star Fleet Office of Planning
and Budgets and by the Star Fleet Controller. When the needs have been established
and the costs are ascertained, a budget will be drafted and submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under the Military Staff Committee. The draft
budget is reviewed and will either be approved or disapproved by the OMB. If approved,
the draft budget will then be submitted to the Federation Council for final approval.
Therefore, although Star Fleet has complete freedom to determine its needs, approval is
still required in order to completely fulfill its requirements. However, this is typically not a
problem since ARTICLE 49 of the Articles of Federation effectively requires that the
Federation Council support Star Fleet in every way.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH SHORE FACILITIES
Shore facilities are defined as the various bases and stations constructed on habited or
uninhabited planets. These are typically very large facilities for the command and control
of the forces in the vastness of Federation space. ARTICLE 23 of the Charter gives Star
Fleet the authority to construct such shore facilities with the following restrictions:
a. That the location of the facility is outside the boundaries of member systems, or
b. That permission be obtained from the local system should a base be placed anywhere
within the system.
In general, Star Fleet has out-and-out authority to construct bases on any planet within
Federation space that is not specifically within an inhabited system. Some of these bases
will be domed structures since the planets on which they were constructed have little or no
atmosphere. However, most planets upon which Star Fleet has established a base will
usually have an atmosphere sufficient to preclude the need for pressurized containment.
Most of the member system home worlds will have Star Fleet bases, primarily because
the system has a Local Force. These bases are essentially command centers for joint
force operations. As such, both Star Fleet and the Local Force will be stationed on these
bases, which are referred to as local Star Fleet Headquarters. One such base is located
in the city of San Francisco on Earth with the title: Star Fleet Headquarters – Earth.
In most cases a base will normally be placed on the world without requiring a lease. That
is, Star Fleet will not pay rent to the local government for the use of the land. However,
there are some worlds, specifically those non-member planets, where Star Fleet has a
lease agreement with the local government. In such cases the Federation Council will
manage these lease agreements.
AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT SPACE STATIONS
Space stations are defined as those Star Fleet facilities that are constructed in space.
Typically, these stations will be constructed or placed in strategic locations throughout the
Federation. They essentially function as relay stations for the transmission of Star Fleet
Command orders and directives, as repair facilities, as replenishment locations, and as
short-term rest and recreation facilities as well.
The location of these stations is important to Star Fleet for tactical and strategic reasons.
As such, Star Fleet is given complete freedom and authority to select the site of these
stations, and to construct such stations at these locations. The authority to construct space
stations is covered under ARTICLES 16 and 23 of the Charter. However, it is ARTICLE 73
that specifically directs Star Fleet to begin constructing Star Fleet bases and stations.
The construction of Star Fleet bases and stations falls under the cognizance of the Star
Fleet Construction Command, within the Star Fleet Division of Engineering. The
larger stations will typically be constructed at the selection site, with supplies and materials
shipped in by the Star Fleet Transportation Command. A mobile housing unit will be
towed to the site for the construction workers. However, the smaller stations are built at
Star Fleet Construction Facilities and towed to the sight by Star Fleet tugs.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT SPACECRAFT
The authority to construct spacecraft was given to Star Fleet early on within the Articles
of Federation. As such, Star Fleet developed an entire organization capable of designing
and constructing spacecraft, and that this organization would be solely responsible for the
design and construction of their vessels. As such, Star Fleet was allowed complete control
over how their vessels would be designed and constructed. However, where possible, Star
Fleet will contract the fabrication of specific systems or components to private companies.
ARTICLE 75 of the Charter directs Star Fleet to construct the spacecraft required to meet
the missions to which it is assigned. The Star Fleet division responsible for the design and
maintenance of its vessels and their systems is Star Ship Systems Command, while the
physical construction of fleet vessels would be handled by the Star Fleet Construction
Command.
AUTHORITY TO PROCURE MATERIEL
Commensurate with the authority and responsibility of designing and constructing vessels
and bases, Star Fleet is given the authority to procure the materials necessary to fulfill its
construction commitments. In addition to its construction authority, Star Fleet must also
maintain the fleet through procuring the supplies and equipment necessary to support its
vessels, bases, personnel, troops, colonies, expeditions, and all other endeavors for which
Star Fleet is responsible. In support of this responsibility, Star Fleet was given complete
freedom to select any private or commercial enterprise that will provide the materials and
supplies required. This freedom was designed to prevent outside pressure to select special
or specific suppliers.
AUTHORITY TO RECRUIT MANPOWER
In order to fulfill its mission and to maintain an effective force, Star Fleet was authorized
to directly recruit and train eligible personnel into the Service. This authority is outlined in
ARTICLE 17 of the Charter.
In addition, Star Fleet has the obligation and responsibility to ensure that its force is fully
trained and qualified in order that they can effectively execute their duties. As such, Star
Fleet has an extensive training program at all levels, all of which is under the cognizance
of the Chief of Star Fleet Education. As part of this obligation Star Fleet established
the Star Fleet Academy for the training of its officer corps.
In times of war Star Fleet is empowered to conscript eligible citizens, if necessary, so that
it can maintain an effective force during such times. Citizens will be conscripted from the
general population and within the proper age limits. Along with conscription, Star Fleet,
through the Military Staff Committee, may require the inclusion of Local Forces into
the Star Fleet to supplement its force in accordance with Paragraph 5 of ARTICLE 2, and
ARTICLES 43, 44, 45, 48 and 49 of the Articles of Federation.
In addition to recruiting manpower, Star Fleet was also charged, under ARTICLE 17 of
the Charter, with maintaining a Reserve force. Should the situation exist that would
require additional manpower, Star Fleet has the authority to call into active service any
individual currently having active or inactive reserve status.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE WEAPONRY
The authority to develop and produce weaponry was given early on within the Articles of
Federation. Specifically, ARTICLE 53 of the Articles of Federation explicitly states that
Star Fleet vessels shall be “…provided with fire-power superior to that now employed by
any member of the United Federation…” This requires a proprietary development program
in order that Star Fleet is provided with the best and most powerful weapon systems. No
other member force within the Federation will have firepower greater than Star Fleet.
On the other hand, Star Fleet does have the authority, at its discretion, to provide Local
Forces with the weapon systems already deployed by Star Fleet. However as stated in
ARTICLE 18 of the Charter: “…weapons produced by Star Fleet are for its own use, and as
such, Star Fleet shall not have the authority to give, sell or otherwise lend such weaponry
to any entity outside the Star Fleet without proper authorization of the Federation Council.”
AUTHORITY TO CONTROL DANGEROUS GOODS
Although not an authority specifically granted in the Charter, Star Fleet is given authority
to control, handle and otherwise dispose of any high-energy or radioactive matter or the
waste it produces. In general, Star Fleet must abide by the Federation laws regarding
the handling of such material. For example the law regarding high-energy waste expressly
states that no radioactive, high-energy, antimatter or its radioactive byproducts or other
waste such as biological, toxic material refuse or other wastes shall be discharged into
Federation or foreign space. Therefore, Star Fleet created special procedures for the
handling of such wastes that are in accordance with Federation laws and regulations.
In meeting Federation law Star Fleet developed a complete system for the production,
handling, storage and disposal of all dangerous goods. In the case of anti-matter, nuclear
fusion, fission and other nuclear materials used for the purposes of power generation,
propulsion or weapons, Star Fleet shall have complete authority and control over the
production and supply of such materials. Typically, such dangerous goods will typically be
handled at special Star Fleet waste sites.
In addition, Star Fleet has constructed and maintains facilities used for the storage and
disposal of hazardous goods. Many of these facilities are geophysical derelicts such as
asteroids, etc. Such wastes include biological, chemical, nuclear and high-energy products,
byproducts and other spent nuclear materials.
In general, Star Fleet has no authority over the high-energy fuel used by spacecraft that
only operate within their respective system. Local member governments will have their
own laws regarding the handling, use and storage of such material as it applies within
their system. However, Federation law requires that all member systems handle their
hazardous material in a manner consistent with Federation guidelines. Typically, this
means that Star Fleet would handle the disposal and storage of such material for the
purpose of material accountability.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO MAINTAIN FEDERATION BOUNDARIES
ARTICLE 19 of the Star Fleet Charter charges Star Fleet with the sole responsibility of
establishing and maintaining the physical boundaries of the Federation. In addition to
preserving the boundaries, Star Fleet is also tasked with the exploration, survey, mapping
and inventory of Federation space itself.
AUTHORITY TO MAINTAIN BOUNDARIES
Establishing and maintaining Federation territory is basically defined as physically setting

the boundaries of the Federation. That is, Star Fleet will survey Federation space in
the outlying regions in order to establish its boundaries and to reconcile such boundaries
against the treaties and agreements to which they were established. When the surveys
and measurements have been completed marker buoys are placed in position which will
send out both visual and electronic signals indicating the boundaries of Federation space.
The visual signal sent out by a marker buoy consists of a flashing beacon. This beacon
flashes at a rate of 20 beats per minute at a luminosity of about 102 million lumens. This
requires about 150 kilowatts of power, which is produced by either a small Thermionic or
Pergium reactor built inside the unit that will last for about 90 years before the unit must
be replaced. The reason that the flash is timed in such a manner is that it would not only
indicate that some form of intelligence had placed such a beacon, but because it takes
approximately 2 to 3 seconds to recharge the capacitors that supply the pulse.
As stated, aside from the visual signal, the marker buoy also sends a binary message on
most of the major radio frequencies, and specifically on the navigational frequencies. This
binary message will be sent on the primary frequencies so that any alien ship nearing the
boundary should be able to pick-up the signal and surmise that the buoy was placed there
for some reason. The signal itself has no real meaning, but is patterned such that it should
appear to be purposeful.
A marker buoy also sends out a binary signal on the Federation navigational frequencies
as well. The purpose of this is to indicate to any Federation vessel the exact location of
the buoy so that the vessel knows where they are currently located in space. This signal is
programmed by the Star Fleet survey team that placed the buoy at the location, and can
be reprogrammed should the buoy be moved to a new location.
Marker buoys also contain sensors whereby any ship nearing the buoy would trigger a
coded subspace signal that would be broadcasted in such a manner that any Star Fleet
vessel or station could pick it up. The coded signal will contain any data obtained by the
buoy’s sensors as well as a visual picture of the vessel, if possible. The signal is a highly
compressed data packet sent at five-minute intervals for about a half an hour. The
function of this is to inform Star Fleet Command of the location of the various vessels
that are moving about in Federation space.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO EXPAND BOUNDARIES
Along with maintaining Federation space, Star Fleet is the primary agency for exploring
space as specified in ARTICLE 21 of the Star Fleet Charter. As the primary exploration
agency Star Fleet has the authority to expand the boundaries of Federation space into
the newly explored regions as stated in ARTICLE 20 of the Charter.
As part of its exploration process Star Fleet will survey and map newly explored regions
of space and if possible, set up a small research station on a selected planet, moon or
asteroid in the explored area. The function of the research team varies with the reason the
station was established, which may range from engineering and scientific studies in order
to obtain critical natural resources to military studies designed to determine the suitability
of a planet in order to establish a permanent Star Fleet base, agricultural or other such
studies as a prelude to colonization. No matter the reason, these survey teams will usually
be manned by Star Fleet personnel and will usually be of relatively short duration.
The results obtained by the survey team will be submitted to the Federation Council for
review. Only after the Federation Council has decided that the newly explored area will
become a part of the Federation will Star Fleet place any signal buoys marking the new
boundary of Federation space. Star Fleet may then either situate new buoys or move
current buoys into place. Therefore, although Star Fleet has the authority to expand the
boundaries of Federation space through exploration, approval from the Federation
Council will still be required to make the new boundary legal.
When new civilizations or societies are discovered during the course of its exploration
mission, Star Fleet commanders are encouraged to invite such newly discovered worlds
into the Federation. As such, Star Fleet is authorized to embark on negotiations with
the governments of new worlds and to establish a memorandum of intent to join the
Federation. However, Star Fleet is not authorized to propose, create, or otherwise ratify
any agreement or treaty with the newly discovered system when no official Federation
consul is present. Such matters must be deferred to the Federation Council.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO SELECT BASE LOCATIONS
Implied throughout the Star Fleet Charter is the principle that Star Fleet has complete
responsibility over all things that are located or that occur within Federation space. As
such, Star Fleet has virtually complete freedom over the location of Federation objects
in open space – with the approval of the Federation Council.
In general, Star Fleet bases are placed or constructed in regions of space where they will
be of most use. Star Fleet bases and stations serve as extensions to the central command
structure by functioning as relay points from which fleet operational directives can be sent
to the commands operating at the fringes of Federation space. Bases also serve as the
sites for replenishing the operating forces as well. Replenishment not only implies supplies
and provisions, or repair and maintenance, but also recreation and relaxation as well. As
such, the location of such bases is highly important to Star Fleet and therefore, was given
full authority to select their locations.
ARTICLE 23 specifically grants Star Fleet the authority to select the location of bases and
stations, with the provision that the Federation Council approves of the selection. As
part of this article, and in conjunction with ARTICLE 65 of the Charter, Star Fleet was
given the authority to physically construct military bases and stations at the sites selected.
However, this authority has some restrictions as explained below.
Generally, Star Fleet has unrestricted authority to select and construct bases anywhere
within Federation territory except within member systems. However, that does not mean
that Star Fleet bases or stations could not be constructed or placed within a member
system. The restrictions are as follows:
1. Should Star Fleet decide that the best place to locate a base or station is within a
member system, Star Fleet need only require written permission from the local
system government to place such a base within the system. Such an agreement would
go through the Federation Council for review and ratification.
2. Should Star Fleet decide that the best place to locate a base or station is on an
uninhabited planet or moon within a member system, Star Fleet, again, would only
require written permission from the local system government to place such a base
within the system.
3. Should Star Fleet decide that the best place to locate a base or station is on an
inhabited or the home planet of the member system, Star Fleet would not only
require written permission from the local system government to place such a base on
the world, but might also be required to pay for the use of the land area. In such
instances, the leased area occupied by the base becomes Star Fleet, and thus
Federation property. As such, the local government would be restricted from any
access to the facility. The local government would require permission from the base
Commanding Officer or from Star Fleet Command to obtain access to the facility.
4. Star Fleet has no authority nor can it build or place any base or station on any
inhabited world within the Interplanetary Trusteeship System. Star Fleet only
has the authority to place a base or station anywhere within a Trust system, which
may include the placement of a station in orbit around a planet in Trust.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
When it comes to base site selection within a system, it is incumbent upon the member
system to cooperate with Star Fleet in the selection of the site within their respective
system as required in ARTICLE 49 of the Articles of Federation. Generally, this will not
be a problem. The only source of issues has been with locating bases within non-member
systems in Federation space. Since these are not signatory worlds to the Articles of
Federation, these systems have no obligation to allow Star Fleet facilities or ships within
their system. However, agreements similar to those established in Paragraph 3 above have
usually been implemented, with the additional provision that Star Fleet provide protection
to the non-member system.
AUTHORITY OVER FEDERATION COLONIES AND EXPEDITIONS
Star Fleet is given broad authority and responsibility over all colonies and expeditions in
deep space as provided in ARTICLE 21 of the Star Fleet Charter. This authority extends
to private, academic and commercial colonies and expeditions as well as those initiated
and maintained by Star Fleet. As a rule, all colonies and expeditions sited in Federation
space must adhere to the same laws and regulations as any other Federation system. In
general, colonies and expeditions may have their own rules and regulations governing the
conduct of their members, but these do not apply to anyone outside the enterprise. And
since colonies and expeditions are not sovereign entities they are not governments per se,
having laws recognized by the Federation government. Therefore, all such colonies and
expeditions must abide by Federation laws and regulations and as such, they must fully
cooperate with Star Fleet in all matters.
However, there may be special agreements or provisions placed in the enterprises’ license
which may stipulate certain relationships between it and Star Fleet. For example, Star
Fleet may be required to call on a colony at specific intervals for special materials, for
perishable goods or to bring back to Federation authorities any special reports or data
the enterprise deems important.
On the whole, Star Fleet not only has authority over colonies and expeditions, but also
has a responsibility for them as Federation entities. As such, Star Fleet is charged with
protecting all Federation colonies, whether inside or outside Federation space. As such,
Star Fleet must provide the same security services as with any other Federation entity.
In addition, Star Fleet is responsible for the welfare of such colonies and expeditions as
specified in ARTICLE 9 of the Charter and may be required to provide such ventures with
supplies, provisions and any other item required for the enterprise to flourish. However,
Star Fleet is not required to supply such enterprises with non-essential or luxury items.
Star Fleet may only do so at its own discretion.
As a part of maintaining the welfare of colonies, expeditions and other such enterprises,
Star Fleet is obligated to supply such enterprises with medical supplies and attention if
needed. And to ensure the health of such enterprises Star Fleet, by law, must perform
periodic medical examinations of the members of such enterprises. The period may vary
based on location and license stipulation, but the Federation Council has set a minimum
period of two years. However, one year is the norm.
In providing colonies and expeditions with essential goods and services, Star Fleet is in
no way obligated to supply such enterprises with other items the enterprise may desire
such as private communications or documents. Such enterprises must contract private or
commercial services to supply them with non-essential, luxury or other such items.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY OVER OBJECTS IN FEDERATION SPACE
All objects located in Federation space such as asteroids, moons, un-inhabited planets or
other objects are the property of the Federation. Therefore, Star Fleet, as the agency
charged with maintaining Federation space, was given total control and authority over all
such objects to do with as it pleases, so long as it is outside the boundaries of member
and non-member inhabited systems as stated in ARTICLE 22 of the Charter.
Examples of the use of this authority include, but are not limited to:
a. Destruction of geophysical derelicts such as free asteroids for the purpose of safe
navigation, military exercise, or for other purposes.
b. The use of uninhabited objects for the purpose of storing radioactive waste or for
other storage purposes, scientific study, implanting automatic outposts, or for military,
law-enforcement or other purposes.
AUTHORITY OVER OBJECTS IN FEDERATION SYSTEMS
Star Fleet does not have any authority over the objects contained within the territorial
boundaries of any member or inhabited non-member system, except for Star Fleet bases,
stations or other property located within the system. The territorial boundary of a system
is defined as the radius of the furthest planet of the system plus 1.5 million kilometers or
one-hundredth (0.01) Astronomical Unit (AU). Any object within this radius is considered
the property of the local system.
The only times Star Fleet has any authority over an object located within a local member
or inhabited non-member system are:
a. When an object in the system threatens the safety of a Star Fleet base or station
within the system, or
b. When in pursuit of an object or spacecraft from outside the local system boundary into
the local system boundary. In this case Star Fleet will invoke its “Right of Passage”.
For all other uninhabited non-member systems, Star Fleet has complete authority over all
the objects contained in that system. However, the situation may arise that an uninhabited
system may wish to be colonized by peoples of the Federation. In such cases, the society
or venture that wishes to establish such a colony must make a request to the Federation
Council to establish the colony. Upon approval from the Federation Council, Star Fleet
rules and regulations regarding colonies and expeditions will go into effect as described
earlier. Should the colony grow to the size of a civilization or society, the enterprise can
request sovereignty. This process usually takes at least twenty years. If such a request is
granted, the system in which such a civilization or society exists becomes the property of
that civilization or society. In this case the rules regarding the authority over objects within
member or inhabited non-member systems shall apply to Star Fleet.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY OUTSIDE FEDERATION TERRITORY
Star Fleet will have no authority over anything or anyone that is outside the boundaries
of Federation space. This is especially true if the adjoining space belongs to a foreign
power. However, in the case where the adjoining space is undeclared, Star Fleet may
claim rights to the region in the name of the Federation when:
a. Star Fleet has performed a survey of the undeclared region of space, and
b. Star Fleet has established an outpost within the undeclared region.
A Star Fleet vessel alone, by virtue of being merely present in an undeclared region, does
not constitute a claim to that region. Star Fleet, and as such the Federation, must make
every effort to determine that the region is truly undeclared and that no previous claim to
the region exists. This is known as the Gorn Rule, which was implemented as a result of
an accidental placement of a military base within Gorn space in the year 2266.
Although Star Fleet may not have legal authority outside of Federation space, it is still
required to provide security and protection to any citizen, colony or expedition operating
outside of Federation territory in unclaimed or undisputed space. If a conflict or dispute
arises regarding the colonization or expedition within unknown space by an alien entity,
Star Fleet must protect the colony or expedition to the fullest extent possible, and must
provide military assistance to protect Federation citizens and their property. As part of
this obligation, Star Fleet will also be required to provide transportation, if needed, to
remove the colony or expedition from the situation.
Federation citizens, colonies, expeditions or other enterprises operating in known, foreign

space are essentially the responsibility of the government of that region. Typically, it is
expected that such an enterprise has obtained permission beforehand from the foreign
government allowing it to operate in that region. Although the responsibility for the safety
of the endeavor falls within the purview of the foreign government, Star Fleet still has an
obligation to protect its citizens and property wherever they may be located and if needed,
Star Fleet will enter sovereign foreign space in order to protect and retrieve Federation
citizens from harm. But in so doing, the Federation Council is required to notify the
foreign government that a Star Fleet vessel will enter their space in order to perform its
security function. In addition, the senior Star Fleet officer present in the area must also
perform this notification as well. In such cases, Star Fleet will notify the Federation
Council, which will handle any dispute filed by the foreign government.
Federation citizens, colonies, expeditions or other enterprises operating in unknown

space are the responsibility of Star Fleet. As such, the rules regarding the protection and
replenishment of citizens and colonies in unknown space will be the same as that for
Federation space until such time that either:
1. The unknown region of space becomes part of the Federation, or

2. When a foreign power has demonstrated a legal claim to the region.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO DEFEND FEDERATION SPACE
The authority of Star Fleet to defend Federation territory is stipulated in the Articles of
Federation and further codified in the Star Fleet Charter. The term “Defend Federation
Space” was not construed to simply mean protecting against outside forces from entering,
conquering or annexing Federation space, but also to protect everything contained within
Federation space as well. That is, Star Fleet must protect all persons, planets, objects,
and assets whether private, commercial or governmental that dwells or is contained within
the United Federation of Planets’ territories. As such, Star Fleet, operating at the
fringes of Federation territory, will be the first line of defense against aggressive forces
from outside the territory.
USE OF FORCE
Generally, the use of force by Star Fleet is to be avoided at all times. It is a fundamental
principle of the Federation that all disputes and actions are taken with a view towards a
pacific settlement, and with the view that all intelligent life forms have a right to exist the
use of force is authorized only under the conditions set forth below:
Self Defense: The first principle in the use of force is the Right of Self-defense. Self-
defense, in the context of the use of force, shall be construed to mean the defense of a
command in response to a direct attack upon it. This also applies to attacks on Star Fleet
or Federation property as well. The base principle is that an attack on anything within or
belonging to the Federation, or its citizens, is a direct attack upon the Federation itself
and as such, the Federation, through Star Fleet, shall defend itself.
Provoked Aggression: The second principle in the use of force is that of Provoked
Aggression, or an action taken by Star Fleet while in the lawful execution of its duty. An
example of this principle is when a Star Fleet vessel fires upon and disables a vessel
during a pursuit. In such cases Star Fleet is allowed to preempt action through the use of
force if necessary. However, the guiding principle in the use of force in this instance is that
the force exerted must be measured such that injury to life can be avoided.
Invasion: The use of force is also authorized to repel an invasion of foreign forces into
Federation territory - even though the aggressor has not yet attacked Federation
property. In such situations Star Fleet will meet the invading force and attempt to first
communicate with the invading force. Every effort must be made to prevent an armed
conflict from erupting through peaceful means. However, should all avenues of a peaceful
solution fail Star Fleet is authorized to use force.
Declared War: The use of force during times of war is obvious; in this instance Star
Fleet is given full authority to use deadly force against an enemy in any matter it deems
fit in order to end the conflict as quickly as possible.
In all cases the Commander who uses force, or who had authorized the use of force,
must make a full report to Star Fleet Command justifying the use of such force. The
Director: Star Fleet Command is always required to report to the Federation Council
whenever force is used.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
INSIDE MEMBER SYSTEMS
The use of force inside the boundaries of any member system is strictly prohibited, except
where the Federation Council has decided that the use of such force is necessary for the
maintenance of interplanetary peace and security under ARTICLE 42 of the Articles of
Federation. In such situations, the Federation Council may evoke ARTICLE 48 of the
Articles of Federation tasking Star Fleet with the function of restoring peace, which
may involve the use of force.
The use of force by Star Fleet may be applied when the legally recognized government of
a member system requests aid from the Federation Council to suppress insurrection, or
when Local Forces become ineffective in dealing with the insurrection, or are themselves
involved in revolt. In this situation Star Fleet can only act or use force as authorized by
the Federation Council. Star Fleet cannot act singly upon any request made by a local
member government.
INSIDE FEDERATION SPACE
The use of force within open Federation territory is generally not allowed except where
the principles regarding the use of force apply for the purposes of law enforcement, the
protection of the Federation, or in the handling of interplanetary disputes.
OUTSIDE FEDERATION SPACE
The use of force outside Federation territory is strictly forbidden except in self-defense.
However, Star Fleet is tasked with the protection of all Federation citizens and property
anywhere in space. As such Star Fleet may use force, if necessary, to protect the lives
and property of Federation citizens – with personnel being the first priority and property
being of secondary importance. Star Fleet is only authorized to use force under the Self
Defense principle when outside of Federation space.
PROTECTION OF FEDERATION PROPERTY AND PERSONNEL
As stated earlier, all objects within the Federation are considered Federation property
as it relates to forces and governments outside Federation space. In addition, all living
beings within the Federation can also be considered Federation citizens, although they
are not formally members of the United Federation of Planets or signatories to the
Articles of Federation. In such cases Star Fleet is authorized and obliged to protect all
Federation property and citizens.
Protection of Federation property also includes the protection of government and Star
Fleet assets and officials as well. This responsibility includes the protection of Federation
and Star Fleet assets from damage as a result of natural, as well as unnatural causes, or
from persons seeking to destroy such assets, or to protect important Federation officials
from harm. In order to protect Federation government facilities and officials, Star Fleet
will be requested to provide security forces and personal bodyguards.
With regard to other property, Star Fleet is not obliged to protect the personal property
of private citizens in open space. However, Star Fleet may protect such property (e.g.
personal spacecraft, etc.) if in doing so lives will be saved.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO PROTECT FEDERATION TRADE
ARTICLE 3 of the Star Fleet Charter specifically delineates the role Star Fleet has in
protecting Federation trade. As such, Star Fleet is given full authority and responsibility
to protect all merchant and commercial vessels and to escort them, if necessary, for the
protection of Federation commerce. In addition, Star Fleet is given full authority to use
force, if necessary, to stop or prevent piracy in open space as part of its law-enforcement
function.
Commercial enterprises may request escort protection if it can be demonstrated that their
vessels are in certain danger of being attacked, or when travelling through unknown space
where a history of attack has been documented. Requests of this nature must be made to
the Federation Council for approval. If the Federation Council grants the request, it
will instruct the Military Staff Committee to direct Star Fleet to assemble such forces
as required to protect the convoy or specific vessel.
As a side note, the protection of trade is defined as the protection of legal commerce. That
is, Star Fleet, in the execution of its law-enforcement role, is authorized to prevent any
illegal commercial practices from occurring in open space and to stop, interrupt or prevent
the flow of any illegal substance, product or other contraband from entering, leaving or
moving within Federation territory.
FEDERATION TRADE LANES
Federation Trade Lanes, otherwise known as Commercial Lanes, are vast routes
designed for commercial ship traffic. Commercial vessels are assigned such routes by Star
Fleet when the commercial enterprise submits their flight plans. The function of such
lanes is to prevent collisions in space, and to provide a means of locating commercial
vessels if needed. Should a commercial vessel be in distress, it should then be easy for
Star Fleet to locate the vessel. A deviation out of such trade lanes is a violation of
Federation law and as such, Star Fleet, in its law-enforcement capacity, can stop, fine
or arrest such violators.
STAR FLEET OPERATIONAL LANES
Star Fleet Operational Lanes are specific routes in space in which Star Fleet vessels
will travel. These routes are specifically designed to reach critical or strategic areas at
extreme Warp speeds. Therefore, to prevent high-speed collisions in space, these lanes
are restricted to Star Fleet traffic only. As such, no commercial or private spacecraft are
allowed to enter or operate within these lanes at any time. Violators of this rule will be
subject to arrest and conviction with penalties ranging from steep fines, the revocation of
spacecraft operating privileges to imprisonment.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE FEDERATION LAWS
ARTICLE 2 of the Star Fleet Charter specifically outlines the role Star Fleet has as a law
enforcement agency for the Federation government. Out in open Federation space Star
Fleet is the law, but which has very limited authority within member systems.
BROAD POLICE POWERS
Police power was given to Star Fleet in ARTICLE 27 of the Charter. Such power includes,
but is not limited to:
a. The power to apprehend, incarcerate or otherwise detain fugitives from justice or

persons found under incriminating circumstances.
b. The power to search vessels and private property in open space without warrant.
c. The power to seize and impound vessels and property of persons found under
incriminating circumstances in open space.
d. The power to use force, if necessary, in the execution of its law enforcement duties.
SEARCH AND SIEZURE POWER
In the enforcement of Federation laws, Star Fleet has broad search and seizure powers.
With due cause, usually as a result of a routine ship scan, private as well as commercial
spacecraft can be stopped, boarded, and inspected by Star Fleet personnel for proper
documentation, content, safety equipment, and proper navigational beacons. Star Fleet
can issue citations for the violation of any safety regulation or ship handling practice. In
addition, items found to be contraband can be immediately confiscated, the ship seized,
impounded and the vessel's personnel incarcerated.
LIMITATIONS
Although Star Fleet has broad police powers, there are limitations to this power. Exercise
of such authority can only be performed while in the execution of enforcing Federation
law. Star Fleet is not authorized to exercise such power without just and due cause. Any
Star Fleet Commander exercising such power must report to Star Fleet Command the
reasons and justifications for the use of such power at all times.
AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH COURTS
Star Fleet, being the fundamental military force within the Federation, is empowered to
establish military courts. These courts are only designed to adjudicate cases involving Star
Fleet personnel, and in some cases, Local Force personnel that operate in open space or
that are adjoined to units of the Star Fleet in open space. However, military discipline
within Local Forces will generally be handled by their own courts-martial system.
Being the primary law enforcement agency for the Federation in open space, Star Fleet
is empowered to establish civil tribunals for the adjudication of cases in open space that
are not of a constitutional nature. This power was given to Star Fleet under ARTICLES 92
and 95 of the Articles of Federation, and in ARTICLE 28 of the Star Fleet Charter.
The magistrate of such courts will typically be the senior officer present in the area, if an
officer from the Judge Advocate General cannot be present.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY TO SETTLE DISPUTES
ARTICLE 29 of the Star Fleet Charter provides Star Fleet with the authority to settle
disputes between any social system inside the boundaries of Federation space. This
authority is given to Star Fleet only when no Federation diplomat is available to settle
the dispute as specified in ARTICLE 7 of the Charter. This authority will most likely be
exercised in the outer regions of the Federation and as such, is generally given to the
area commander – usually the Commanding Officer of a Starship.
When a Federation diplomat is present, Star Fleet shall honor all reasonable requests
made by such consul or appropriate Federation official in the exercise of their consular
duties relating to the diplomatic mission at hand, and as long as such requests do not
violate Federation law, Star Fleet Regulations or interfere in the normal functioning of
the command to which the Federation official is assigned.
INTERVENTION IN ARMED CONFLICT
Star Fleet, acting as an extension of the Federation Council in open space, is given
authority to intervene in armed conflict between any system within the Federation, and is
authorized to implement the ARTICLES as outlined in Chapters VI and VII of the Articles
of Federation as specified in ARTICLE 29 of the Charter. That is, Star Fleet is authorized
to physically stop any and all armed conflict using any means at its disposal, including the
use of force, as stipulated in ARTICLE 42 of the Articles of Federation. However, the
Federation Council must first authorize the use of force prior to intervention.
In instances of intervention, Star Fleet is authorized and obliged to have the disputing
parties meet on neutral Federation property – typically a Star Fleet vessel or station.
Star Fleet will act as mediator between the parties, and will maintain order during the
discussions and negotiations.
Star Fleet, in the exercise of the role of mediator or arbitrator, may only establish cease-
fire agreements. Star Fleet is not authorized to draft, make or otherwise sign any treaty
or permanent agreement in accordance with ARTICLE 32 of the Charter. Such matters
must be deferred to the Federation Council.
DISPUTES OUTSIDE FEDERATION TERRITORY
In general, Star Fleet has no authority to settle disputes outside Federation territory
involving peoples or systems residing in such territories. It is encouraged that Star Fleet
be involved in such disputes to prevent armed conflict between the parties. However, Star
Fleet cannot interfere in any way and may not employ force upon any of the disputing
parties except in self-defense.
Star Fleet, however, does have authority to intervene when disputes outside Federation
territory involve Federation colonies, expeditions or other enterprises operating outside of
Federation space. In such cases every effort will be made towards a peaceful settlement,
but if necessary, the use of force is authorized for the protection of Federation citizens
involved in the dispute, or for the self-defense of the command and only to the extent that
such force be used to stop or prevent further conflict.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
AUTHORITY OVER SPACECRAFT AND ARMAMENTS
Star Fleet has authority over all vessels that move about within Federation space as
stipulated in ARTICLES 3, 4 and 30 of the Charter. The basic purpose for this authority is
to maintain the legal and orderly flow of space traffic within the Federation. As such,
Star Fleet is authorized to establish navigational rules, rules regarding the safe operation
of Federation spacecraft, spacecraft licensing and registration rules, space traffic routes
and corridors, and rules regarding the content of vessels.
With this authority granted, Star Fleet is empowered to enforce all the rules, regulations
and laws regarding the operation, movement, handling and contents of all commercial and
private spacecraft that operate within Federation space, whether such craft belongs to a
Federation inhabitant or that comes from outside Federation boundaries. This authority
includes:
a. The power to stop spacecraft for the purpose of inspection. Such inspection include,
but not limited to:
1. Ensuring the proper licensing and registration of spacecraft;
2. Ensuring that the operators of spacecraft are properly licensed, and that the
license is current;
3. Inspection of the vessel to ensure its space-worthiness;
4. Inspection of any cargo or content, to compare the contents against published
manifests and to inspect the contents for contraband.
b. The power to stop spacecraft for the purpose of enforcing Federation laws. This
power includes, but not limited to:
1. Search without warrant;
2. Searching vessels for contraband, smuggled, or other illegal items;
3. Searching vessels for fugitives, undocumented foreigners, or other persons.
c. The power to seize and impound spacecraft and its contents that violate Federation
law.
d. The power to detain spacecraft operators and passengers – within Federation law
and Star Fleet Regulations.
MILITARY SPACECRAFT
Military spacecraft are defined as those vessels that have permanently mounted armament
or weapons systems, or any spacecraft that belong to either the Star Fleet or a Local
Force within the Federation. As such, no private member of the Federation may own
or operate military or military-like spacecraft within the boundaries of the Federation. In
addition, no power or individual outside the Federation may enter Federation space in
military spacecraft, except as authorized by Federation authorities. Star Fleet is the only
agency within the Federation that is authorized to operate military spacecraft in open
Federation space, except where Local Forces have been adjoined into Star Fleet for
joint exercises, or during time of conflict or war.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
LOCAL FORCE SPACECRAFT
As stated above, Star Fleet has authority over all military spacecraft operating in open
Federation space. If a Local Force vessel ventures out into open space, that vessel will
come under the jurisdiction of Star Fleet. Should a Local Force vessel cross into open
Federation space in pursuit of a fugitive, the Local Force Commander must notify Star
Fleet of the situation, and Star Fleet will dispatch a vessel to aid in the pursuit. The
Commanding Officer of the Local Force vessel must cooperate with the Star Fleet
Commander at all times during the pursuit. In accordance with the law, it must be the
Star Fleet ship that performs the apprehension and detainment of the pursued vessel.
Then, as the situation warrants, the Star Fleet Commander may turn over the individual
or individuals and the spacecraft to the Local Force Commander.
When Local Force vessels are adjoined to Star Fleet forces in open space, Star Fleet
has full jurisdiction regarding the placement and operational mission of the Local Force
vessels that were adjoined. It is incumbent upon Local Force Commanders to adhere to
the directives and orders given to them by their Star Fleet Commander.
However, Star Fleet has no authority over Local Force vessels within the boundaries of
the local system. When Star Fleet ships are within the boundaries of a local system, they
must adhere to all local government laws and regulations regarding space travel within the
system, and the directives of the Local Force Commander, except where such directives
would violate Star Fleet Regulations. As such, Local Forces do not have any direct
authority over Star Fleet vessels or their crews while in their jurisdiction. Local Force
jurisdiction over Star Fleet vessels may only occur when Star Fleet vessels have been
temporarily assigned to duty within the Local Force. In such cases the commanders of
Star Fleet forces must adhere to the directives regarding the placement and function of
Star Fleet vessels by their Local Force Commander.
PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL SPACECRAFT
As stated, Star Fleet has complete authority over all private and commercial spacecraft
that operate in open Federation space. This authority includes, but is not limited to:
a. Licensing and registration of spacecraft.

b. The control, testing and issuance of operator’s licenses.
c. Inspection of vessels and cargo.
d. The control and issuance of flight plans.
e. The establishment, control and enforcement of space traffic corridors.
ALIEN SPACECRAFT
All alien spacecraft that enter Federation space are subject to Federation law and as
such, are under the authority of Star Fleet. Specifically, this means that all alien vessels
must adhere to the laws and regulations concerning navigation and safe handling of their
vessels in Federation space. Alien vessels are not required to be registered or licensed in
the same manner as Federation vessels, but they must have equipment similar to that
required by law for the safe handling of their vessel. As such, Star Fleet has the authority
to stop and inspect such vessels as it would if the vessel were of Federation origin.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SPACECRAFT REGISTRATION
Every vessel of the Federation must be licensed and registered with Star Fleet. They
cannot legally operate in open Federation space without such documents. Star Fleet is
given the authority to issue licenses and registration documents, as well as to institute the
procedures and standards to which such vessels will be licensed or registered. Star Fleet
will issue registration certificates only after a complete safety inspection of the vessel by
Star Fleet has been performed. Star Fleet has no authority regarding the registration
and regulation of spacecraft that will only operate within local systems. Such spacecraft
need not register with Star Fleet. However, any vessel that travels outside the boundary
of their system that is not so registered will be subject to citation, fine or seizure by Star
Fleet.
ARMAMENTS
Star Fleet also has authority over all weapons carried in open space in accordance with
ARTICLE 26 of the Articles of Federation. This includes all personal as well as small
arms carried or stored in private or commercial spacecraft. All persons within the United
Federation that wish to carry a weapon within open space must register their weapon or
weapons with Star Fleet. However, Star Fleet does not have any authority over personal
weapons that are exclusively carried within the boundaries of member systems. The local
system government will regulate such personal weapons within member system territory.
As such, Star Fleet cannot interfere in the regulation of arms within such territories. The
exception to this rule relates to weapons carried by local system citizens on Star Fleet
property located within the boundaries of the local system. In this case, the individual
comes under Star Fleet authority.
Private or commercial vessels may not have weapons of any kind permanently mounted
onto their craft. This would indicate a military vessel and as such, no military type vessels
can be owned or operated by private or commercial enterprises. The only military vessels
allowed in open Federation space are those from the Star Fleet and any of the Local
Federation Forces when they are required to venture outside their territorial boundaries.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
POWERS NOT GRANTED TO THE STAR FLEET
Although Star Fleet has been granted extraordinary power and authority, such power and
authority is still limited. As such, Star Fleet does not have the authority, by virtue of the
powers granted to it in the Charter, to act independently of the Federation Council or
the Military Staff Committee, except as stipulated in ARTICLE 31 of the Charter, and
Paragraph 2 of ARTICLE 52 of the Articles of Federation. Star Fleet, at all times, shall
be under the cognizance of the Federation Council and the Military Staff Committee.
Any action that will be taken by Star Fleet can only be executed as a direct result of the
policies, directives, prerogatives, missions and powers given to it by higher authority.
WAGE WAR
Star Fleet does not, by itself, have the authority to wage or declare war against any
social system or government within or outside the Federation. In cases of attack Star
Fleet can only engage an aggressor for the purpose of self-defense and for the protection
of Federation property as stipulated in ARTICLES 1, 26 and 31 of the Charter.
However, in the event of general invasion Star Fleet has the authority to assemble such
forces as needed to repel the invasion without a formal pronouncement of war by the
Federation Council. In such cases the use of force is automatically authorized and a
Code 1 alert will be issued to all Star Fleet forces nearby, who must immediately respond
and proceed to the affected area to repel the invasion.
MAKE AGREEMENTS AND TREATIES
The power to make agreements and treaties for the Federation rests solely with the
Federation Council. As such, Star Fleet is not authorized to make any agreement or
treaty, or to sign or ratify any such agreement or treaty as stipulated in ARTICLE 32 of the
Charter. However, Star Fleet may act as a witness to any agreement or treaty between
the parties for the peaceful settlement of a dispute that was negotiated on neutral Star
Fleet property.
ESTABLISH GOVERNMENTS
Under no circumstance is Star Fleet or any person therein, allowed to establish or depose
any sovereign government within or outside the Federation without direct authorization
from the Federation Council as stipulated in ARTICLE 33 of the Charter. However, under
special conditions of political chaos and under direct authority of the Federation Council,
Star Fleet may set up a temporary military government for the purposes of establishing
and maintaining law and order. In such situations Star Fleet may institute martial law.
ENFORCE LOCAL LAWS
Star Fleet has, generally, no authority within member or non-member inhabited systems
within Federation territory. The right of sovereignty is explicitly stated in the Articles of
Federation, and in ARTICLES 14, 24 and 34 of the Star Fleet Charter. The only time
Star Fleet is authorized to enforce local laws is when Star Fleet has been assigned, at
the request of the local government and with the approval of the Federation Council, to
act as the law-enforcement agency for the local government.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CULTURAL AND POLITICAL INTERFERENCE
As an elemental idea in the establishment of the United Federation of Planets was the
principle that all civilizations, societies or other cultural structures have the right to evolve
and socially mature at their own pace and through their own conventions. Therefore,
neither Star Fleet, nor any other Federation entity, has the right or authority to interfere
in the normal development of any fledgling society or civilization at any time, especially
during an exploration mission. To prevent this from occurring, special rules and regulations
were developed to prevent social interference and contamination.
When in contact with a developing culture, as a result of its exploration mission, individuals
within Star Fleet engaged in contact with the denizens of such worlds cannot disclose any
information regarding the state of technology or other concepts that may directly conflict
with the beliefs of such developing worlds. Nor can Star Fleet make any demonstration
indicating the level of its technology to the peoples encountered. However, personnel who
are engaged in contact with civilizations that are nearly at the same technological level as
the Federation may disclose such information, but only with permission from the senior
officer present.
In addition, no one within Star Fleet is allowed to be involved in or partake in the politics
of any sovereign government at any level. Star Fleet must remain neutral at all times
since Star Fleet functions on behalf of all the governments within the Federation and as
such, cannot take sides. It is understood that individuals within Star Fleet may have
personal feelings or opinions regarding any political state of affairs within the Federation,
but such feelings and opinions must be kept private. Therefore, Star Fleet has established
regulations concerning the conduct of its forces with regard to political activities.

2.5 STAR FLEET ADMINISTRATION

In this section the administration of Star Fleet as a Federation government entity will be
discussed. The function of this section is to present the “Chain of Command” regarding the
execution of Federation policy, which can be illustrated in Figure 1a25.1.
THE FEDERATION COUNCIL
Chapter V of the Articles of Federation established the Federation Council as the

executive branch of the Federation government, which has the responsibility to execute
Federation law and policy. In addition, the Federation Council is the principal authority
over all the peacekeeping forces of the United Federation of Planets exercised through
its Military Staff Committee. As such, Federation policy will be formulated within the
Federation Council. Policies regarding the peace and security of the Federation will be
developed by the Federation Council and directed to the Military Staff Committee for
implementation.
THE MILITARY STAFF COMMITTEE
ARTICLE 47 of the Articles of Federation established the Military Staff Committee to

execute the policies of the Federation Council relating to the peace and security of the
Federation. In addition, the Military Staff Committee will have the role of advice and
consent as it relates to the conduct of war and other military matters. However, it will be
the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, as head of the Military Staff Committee that
will receive, directly from the Federation Council President or from the President’s
staff, the directives to carry out specific Federation policies. Such directives will then be
carried out by Star Fleet or by any of the Local Forces under Paragraph 4 of ARTICLE
47 of the Articles of Federation.
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Star Fleet Charter, specifically Chapter III, establishes the organizational structure
of Star Fleet. ARTICLE 38 of the Charter expressly charges Star Fleet Command with
the responsibility of carrying out the policies put forth to it by the Federation Council. To
manage this, ARTICLE 39 of the Charter established the office of the Director: Star Fleet
Command with overall command of the Star Fleet, and as a member of the Federation
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director will directly receive and carry out all the policies and
directives given to him by the Federation Council that will involve Star Fleet.
EXECUTING FEDERATION POLICIES
As stated above, the Military Staff Committee is directly responsible for executing those
policies relating to the peace and security of the Federation. As such, Federation policy
becomes Star Fleet policy, except where it may interfere with the efficient functioning of
Star Fleet, or violate Federation law.

2.6 GENERAL OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVES

In this section the most notable directives issued by the Director: Star Fleet Command
and the Federation Council will be explored. These directives will usually be in the form
of "General Orders" issued by Star Fleet Command and approved by the Federation
Council and distributed to all Star Fleet Commanders.
The sources of the General Orders that will be discussed here originated from specific
articles in the Star Fleet Charter, and are part of the training curriculum at the Star
Fleet Academy. A list of Star Fleet General Orders and the orders themselves can be
found in Chapter 5 of Volume II of the Star Fleet Command Manual.
GENERAL ORDER ONE

CULTURAL NON-INTERFERENCE
General Order One, the Cultural Non-Interference or Prime Directive, was issued
to codify the right, as stated in the Articles of Federation, of intelligent life-forms to
develop at their own rate, and that interference in the normal progress of a civilization was
not only immoral, but harmful to the peoples affected. As such, General Order One
directs Star Fleet and Federation citizens not to interfere in the normal development,
socially or technologically, of primitive worlds, and directs that contamination of any kind,
such as knowledge of things outside their understanding, must not be introduced to such
worlds. The order expressly states that this can easily be accomplished by limiting contact
with developing cultures.
Although General Order One essentially restricts contact with developing cultures, it
does, however, allow for the scientific study these of developing cultures, but requires that
procedures be in place that will limit or avoid contact with the peoples of such developing
worlds. Such studies will be performed in secret, either through observations from afar or
by blending into the general population.
General Order One also allows a Commanding Officer, at his discretion, to interfere if,
and only if, societal or technological contamination has already occurred. In such cases,
the Commanding Officer must obtain proof that such contamination has occurred, and
must be prepared to answer to Star Fleet Command for any action he has taken to
remedy the situation.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER TWO

USE OF FORCE
The purpose of this order is to reiterate Federation policy regarding the use of force. It
is the policy of the Federation to respect the inherent right of life-forms to exist and as
such, every effort is to be made to prevent harm or injury to befall any and all life-forms.
This principle is most exemplified in the Articles of Federation, the basis of Federation
law and the source document that created the Star Fleet Service. Therefore, force must
only be used as a last resort, and only after all other options have been exhausted and
then only in self-defense.
Star Fleet Regulation 6520 states that no member of the Star Fleet Service will use
force or order the use of force in time of peace against another planet, culture or against
anyone within or outside the territorial boundaries of the United Federation of Planets,
except as an act of self-defense. The use of force will only be exercised as a last resort,
and then only to the extent that is absolutely necessary to accomplish the end required, or
to counter either the use of force or an immediate threat of the use of force.
In addition, General Order 2 requires that no person in the Star Fleet Service will
willfully harm or injure any intelligent being or life-form, or allow harm to come to any
intelligent life-form, except in self-defense. Therefore, force must never be used to inflict
punishment for acts already committed.
General Order 2 establishes certain Rules of Engagement regarding the use of force.
Should the use of force become necessary, a Star Fleet Commanding Officer may use
only such force as necessary to disable the threat. Typically, the Commanding Officer
will primarily disable the weapons or propulsion systems of an attacking vessel. During the
engagement, the Commanding Officer is prohibited from destroying the vessel, unless it
is extremely necessary to protect his command or to ensure the safety of the innocent.
General Order 2 also addresses the Right of Self-Defense. Star Fleet Regulation
4670 requires that Star Fleet Commanders take all necessary precautions to prevent
the loss of their command. Therefore, Star Fleet Commanders have the right and the
duty to defend their commands, even to the point of using force against anyone posing a
threat to that command.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER THREE

TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY
General Order 3 is considered the second "Prime Directive" as it concerns meddling in

the affairs of developed worlds, whereas, General Order 1 relates to developing worlds.
The basis for General Order 3 comes directly from ARTICLES 14, 24 and 34 of the Star
Fleet Charter, which prohibits Star Fleet from entering the jurisdiction of local and
foreign governments.
The Articles of Federation is clear on the issue regarding the sovereignty rights of
planetary governments. As such, Star Fleet Regulation 6530 states that all Star Fleet
officers commanding or in command of any Star Fleet unit will respect the territorial
integrity of any member or non-member system whether inside or outside the territorial
boundaries of the Federation. No Star Fleet vessel is allowed to cross the boundary of
any system, territory or region of space without obtaining permission of the local authority
governing that territory, unless the proper Rights of Passage or Port Visitation Rights
have been established with that system, territory, or planetary government.
The above restriction not only applies to Star Fleet ships, but to Star Fleet personnel as
well. As such, no person in the Star Fleet Service is allowed to land, disembark, enter or
otherwise visit a planet or facility of any system without first obtaining permission from
both, their Commanding Officer and an authorized official of the planet or facility they
intend to visit. Star Fleet personnel are only allowed to visit a planet or facility without
permission when they are performing official Federation business, or if Port Visitation
Rights have been established allowing personnel to visit the planet or facility.
General Order 3 also prohibits anyone in the Star Fleet Service to interfere in, or
become involved in the internal affairs of any member or non-member system, except as
authorized by Star Fleet Command. Members of the Star Fleet Service are not allowed
to be involved with the internal politics of any system, nor can they hold any office while in
the Service. The idea is that Star Fleet and its personnel should remain neutral towards
any government within the United Federation of Planets since Star Fleet must act on
behalf of all the governments in open Federation space and as such, cannot take sides.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER FOUR

PROTECTION OF FEDERATION SPACE
ARTICLE 1 of the Star Fleet Charter, as well as the Articles of Federation tasks Star
Fleet with defending Federation space. Specifically, ARTICLE 26 of the Charter directs
Star Fleet to protect and defend all of Federation space, and all its citizens and assets.
In addition, ARTICLE 19 requires Star Fleet to maintain the physical boundaries of the
Federation.
In executing this General Order, the term Federation assets is construed to mean all
uninhabited planets, moons, asteroids, as well as the hard manufactured assets such as
spacecraft and other equipment, and everything residing within the territorial boundaries
of the Federation.
In accordance with the Star Fleet Charter, all Star Fleet Commanders must protect
and defend all interests of the United Federation of Planets, which includes all the
territories and boundaries, citizens, planets, and assets within the Federation.
In addition, Star Fleet must also protect and defend all Federation colonies and
expeditions whether they are located inside or outside the boundaries of the United
Federation, and that Star Fleet has the responsibility to protect all Federation citizens
whether they are located inside or outside the boundaries of the Federation.
All Star Fleet vessels are the property of the United Federation of Planets and as
such, shall be considered as an extension of Federation territory in all places that Star
Fleet vessels may be located. Therefore, Star Fleet Commanders must take whatever
action is necessary to protect and maintain the security of their command and everyone
assigned to or visiting their command as required under Star Fleet Regulations 4670
and 6550.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER FIVE

PROTECTION OF FEDERATION COMMERCE
ARTICLE 3 of the Star Fleet Charter tasks Star Fleet with the protection of Federation
trade. The protection of Federation commerce is of vital interest to the security of the
United Federation. Any interruption of trade greatly affects the economy and, thus, the
security of the Federation. Therefore, it is necessary that commercial trade be protected
at all times from enemies, pirates and other illegal activities.
In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 6570, all Star Fleet Commanders must
protect, insofar as it lies within their power, all commercial vessels within the boundaries of
Federation space engaged in their lawful occupations and in so doing, advance the
commercial interests of the Federation. In order to ensure lawful commercial trade, Star
Fleet Commanders have the authority to stop and inspect any vessel for contraband
and/or proper shipping documentation as part its law enforcement responsibilities.
General Order 5 also requires that all Star Fleet Commanders protect and defend all
Federation commercial enterprises and outposts within Federation space as well.
However, this order does not extend to protecting commercial enterprises that are within
the boundaries of local system governments, which would be a violation of General
Order 3. The responsibility to protect the commercial interests within systems rests solely
with the local system government and its Local Force.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER NINE

SHIP HANDLING
Commanding Officers of Star Fleet ships and craft are directly responsible for the safe
navigation and handling of their ship or craft as required under Star Fleet Regulations
4850 and 8510. All Star Fleet Commanding Officers of ships and craft must ensure
that their vessel’s navigational equipment is in good working condition at all times, and
that all running lights, navigational and registry signals, deflectors, and other navigational
safety equipment is functioning at all times. However, this General Order also states that
in time of war or conflict, Star Fleet Command may modify the use of flashers, lights,
signal beams or registry beams, or other safeguards required by law to prevent collisions
in space, near bases, and planets or other natural formations in space. But in any case, all
sensing devices will always be operational and in good operating condition.
General Order 9 also tasks the Chief of Star Fleet Operations with establishing the
professional standards and regulations governing ship handling, safe navigation, safe
anchoring, and related operational matters as well. Therefore, all persons in the Star
Fleet Service responsible for the operation of Star Fleet ships and craft are instructed to
diligently observe the Interplanetary Rules for Preventing Collisions in Space and
all other rules and regulations regarding the regulation of traffic and preventing collisions
in space, in orbit, in an atmosphere or on a base where such laws, rules and regulations
are applicable to Star Fleet ships and craft.
In addition, and part of its law enforcement duties, Star Fleet will also monitor private
and commercial traffic to ensure that these types of vessels are being properly handled,
conform to the rules of navigation, and have the required navigational and safety gear.
Star Fleet Command takes ship handling very seriously. Any significant infraction of the
laws, rules and regulations governing traffic or rules designed to prevent collisions in
space, in orbit, in an atmosphere or on or near a base that is observed by any person in
the Star Fleet Service, must be promptly reported. Commanding Officers receiving
such reports must immediately inform Star Fleet Command, including the Director:
Star Fleet Command through the Chief of Star Fleet Operations.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER ELEVEN

SPACE EXPLORATION
The purpose of this order is to execute the exploration function of the Star Fleet Service.
According to the Star Fleet Charter and the Articles of Federation, the exploration of
space is a primary function of Star Fleet, and a fulfillment of its scientific mission. Thus, it
is a standing order that all Star Fleet ships explore space, map and chart space sectors,
make galactic surveys, study all natural and unnatural phenomenon, and to seek out new
life and new civilizations.
GENERAL ORDER THIRTEEN

VESSELS IN DISTRESS
In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 6630 all Star Fleet Commanding Officers,
Officers in Command or the Senior Officer Present must render assistance to any
person and/or vessel found to be in distress in deep space. All Star Fleet Commanding
Officers must continuously monitor all emergency communications channels for the
possibility that a distress call may come in. If such a call is received, the Commanding
Officer must immediately respond to the call and proceed with all speed to the location of
the vessel, or individual, or individuals in distress. When such distress calls are received by
a Star Fleet base or station, the Commanding Officer of the facility will dispatch the
nearest available ship or craft to the location of distress.
If medical assistance is required to persons found in distress, Star Fleet Commanding

Officers are required to provide such medical aid under Star Fleet Regulation 6620.
Medical assistance not only means immediate aid at the scene, but hospitalization as well.
Therefore, persons found to be severely injured will be taken on board ship, rendered
emergency care and sent to the nearest hospital or long-term care facility.
If the vessel or facility found to be in distress requires maintenance or repair Star Fleet
Commanding Officers are not authorized to lend such repair assistance as stipulated in
Star Fleet Regulation 6640. However, Commanding Officers of Star Fleet ships or
craft are authorized to tow a vessel in distress to the nearest ship repair facility, provided
the vessel can be moved by the ship or craft. Commanding Officers of Star Fleet ships
and craft are also authorized to request such assistance from any private or commercial
enterprise specializing in such towing or repair operations in behalf of the owners of the
vessel in distress when the damaged vessel’s communications system is not functioning.
However, Star Fleet, or any of its members or agencies, is not authorized to recompense
a commercial repair enterprises for work performed on a vessel in distress.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
GENERAL ORDER EIGHTTEEN

MILITARY CONDUCT AND LEADERSHIP
The objective of General Order 18 is to reemphasize and revitalize Star Fleet leadership
in all its aspects: inspirational, technical, and moral. Star Fleet service is an honorable
profession, which has traditionally commanded the respect of the entire Federation. The
Star Fleet Service has long been distinguished for the high quality of its officers and
technicians. The challenge is to continuously improve Star Fleet leadership.
Star Fleet defines leadership as the art of accomplishing the missions assigned to it by its
personnel. Effective leadership, therefore, is founded upon personal example, superior
management practices, and moral responsibility. As such, every command within the
Operating Forces and the Shore Establishment, as well as every office or bureau of
the Department of the Star Fleet is required to review, on a continuing basis, its
standards of personal leadership to ensure that those in responsible positions are
discharging their duties in accordance with Star Fleet Regulations 8120 and 8130.
Every command in the Operating Forces and the Shore Establishment is required to
integrate into their training programs, on a continuing basis, both the technical and moral
principles and practices of leadership.
To ensure the quality of its leaders, General Order 18 tasks the Star Fleet Inspector
General with inspecting commands for proper leadership and to regularly report to the
appropriate Commanders such evidence of leadership that is both markedly superior to
accepted standards, and decidedly inferior. Commanders receiving such favorable reports
are required to make appropriate notations on the record of the officers or technicians
responsible. In the event that unfavorable reports are received, corrective action must be
initiated and completed.
General Order 18 also tasks the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel with the responsibility
of issuing the needed directives that will carry out the intent and to achieve the objectives
set forth in General Order 18. These directives are generally quite specific and forceful in
order to ensure that leadership standards and training are a matter of continuing concern
and importance to every person in authority within the Star Fleet Service.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
2.7 RELATIONSHIP WITH CIVILIAN

AUTHORITIES
In this section the functional relationship between Star Fleet and foreign or domestic
governments and forces will be examined. In accordance with Paragraph 1, ARTICLE 2 of
the Articles of Federation, each social system inside and outside the Federation will
maintain their sovereignty and therefore, neither the Federation government, nor any of
its various agencies, will have any authority over the internal affairs of any social system.
This principle is reflected in ARTICLE 14 of the Star Fleet Charter. As such, Star Fleet
ships and personnel that visit social systems are subject to the laws and regulations of that
system.
Federation law requires that, except under extraordinary circumstances, Star Fleet must
respect the territorial integrity of all governments, foreign or domestic and therefore, Star
Fleet is not authorized, unless permission has been obtained from the Local Authority,
to enter the space of, perform armed exercises or target practice around, or perform any
maneuver adjacent to or within the territorial boundaries of any local system; or conduct
any exercise at a point outside the boundaries from which weapons may enter therein; or
allow any person to visit the system for any reason except as necessary to conduct official
business, or that Star Fleet has obtained the necessary “Port Visitation Rights” with
the system and that Shore Leave privileges have been granted.
When dealing with the governments of planetary social systems inside or outside the
Federation, Star Fleet is required to render honors, as prescribed by law, to authorized
officials of such governments. However, Star Fleet is not required, under Federation
law, to render honors to any planet or government that has not been formally recognized
by the United Federation of Planets, except as authorized by the Federation Council.
In general, Federation Starships and all Star Fleet vessels are the property of the
United Federation of Planets and as such, must be considered as extensions of
Federation territory. Therefore, individuals visiting Star Fleet ships and craft shall be
considered to be on Federation territory and subject to the laws and regulations of the
United Federation of Planets, as well as of Star Fleet. This principle applies to all
situations whether the ship or craft is within or outside Federation space, and in all
cases, Star Fleet officers must take action to protect and maintain the security of their
vessels, personnel and facilities from actions taken by local governments contrary to that
principle.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES
"Local Authorities" are defined as the specific governments, foreign or domestic, which
have jurisdiction over their regions of space. Within Federation space the authority of a
local system government does not extend beyond the boundaries of that system and as
such, Local Authorities do not have jurisdiction over Star Fleet personnel outside the
boundaries of their system, or that are located or stationed on Star Fleet vessels or
facilities inside their boundaries. Therefore, no local official can make a demand or board a
Star Fleet vessel or shore activity for the purpose of arresting or removing anyone from
that vessel or shore activity. In addition, no one in Star Fleet is allowed to deliver any
person in the Star Fleet Service to civil authorities except as directed by Federation
authorities. Star Fleet, however, can permit the service of subpoena or other process by
Local Authorities to personnel on Star Fleet property if it deems appropriate to do so.
In general, the Commanding Officer of any Star Fleet ship or station cannot permit
their command to be searched on any pretense whatsoever by any person representing a
local or foreign government, nor permit any of the personnel within the confines of their
command to be removed by such persons so long as the Commanding Officer has the
capacity to repel such act. If force is exerted to compel submission, the Commanding
Officer is to resist that force to the utmost of his or her power.
Except as may be provided by interplanetary law or treaty, the Commanding Officer of

any Star Fleet shore activity shall not permit their command to be searched by anyone
representing a local or foreign government, nor permit any of the personnel within the
confines of their command to be removed from the command by such persons, so long as
that Commanding Officer has the power to resist. This shall apply to all Star Fleet
bases and stations that are located inside the boundaries of a local system, whether the
station or base is physically located on a planet within the system, orbiting around a planet
within such a system, or stationed anywhere within the boundaries of the system.
RELATIONSHIP WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES
When outside the boundaries of Federation space or within foreign territories, all Star
Fleet personnel are required to respect the laws and customs of that foreign territory. In
addition, Star Fleet Commanders are required to make their presence known to all
governments and officials in the space or territory they enter and as such, are required to
make official visits to foreign officials and officers as custom and courtesy demand when
entering foreign ports. As a general rule, Star Fleet Commanders can only communicate
with foreign civil, diplomatic, or consular officials through local Federation diplomatic or
consular representatives, if they exist, but if none are present or available, the “Senior
Officer Present”, in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 6420, must make such
communications directly to foreign civil, diplomatic or consular officials.
As an extension of Federation territory, Star Fleet ships may act as embassies for the
United Federation. Federation citizens in foreign space may make calls to Star Fleet
ships for protection or for consular business. In addition, Commanding Officers of Star
Fleet ships may grant temporary refuge or asylum to non-Federation citizens requesting
refuge or asylum. However, the Federation Council is the only authority that can grant
permanent asylum.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
When temporary refuge or asylum is granted, Star Fleet may not surrender such persons
to any Local Authority, unless directed by the Federation Council to do so. And while
in temporary asylum, Star Fleet is directed to afford such persons every reasonable care
and protection. In addition, however, and according to law, it is illegal for any person in
the Star Fleet Service to directly or indirectly invite persons to seek asylum or temporary
refuge.
RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL FORCES
The function of Local Forces is to protect the interests of and maintain the regulations
and laws of the local system government within its territorial boundaries. Star Fleet,
having jurisdiction outside the boundaries of these systems, will not have any authority
over the Local Forces while they operate within their respective systems. Star Fleet only
has authority over Local Forces when they venture outside their territorial boundaries.
When encountering Local Forces within the territorial boundaries of that force, Star
Fleet is directed to render all honors and courtesies afforded those forces. In addition, all
Star Fleet personnel are required to show respect and courtesy when interacting with
Local Force personnel and to acknowledge the rank and authority of Local Force
officers. When encountering Local Forces outside their system boundaries, it is required
of Local Force Commanders to make their intentions known and to render such honors
and courtesies to Star Fleet forces as required by law or treaty.
In times of hostilities, member systems are required, under ARTICLE 45 of the Articles of
Federation, to transfer a portion or all of their Local Force to Star Fleet for the defense
of the Federation. In such situations the Local Force will be merged into Star Fleet and
therefore, is subject to its directives and regulations. In other situations, all officers and
men of Local Forces attached to Star Fleet commands will come under the authority of
the Star Fleet Commander to which such forces are assigned, and when in open space,
Star Fleet officers will have precedence over Local Force officers.
When Star Fleet forces are assigned to Local Forces, the Local Force Commander
will be in command of the Star Fleet personnel assigned to him. However, a Local Force
Commander cannot assign any of his officers to command Star Fleet ships or stations,
nor are they authorized to modify or change the command structure of any Star Fleet
unit assigned to them and therefore, the command structure of the Star Fleet force under
the command of a Local Force Commander shall remain intact.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
RELATIONSHIP WITH FOREIGN FORCES
Forces outside the Federation are not considered as "Local Forces", but defined as
"Foreign Forces". These forces may be as large as Star Fleet, covering vast areas of
their native space or similar to Local Federation Forces, patrolling only the regions of
their solar system and as such, are considered to have authority over the territories and
spaces in which they occupy. Forces belonging to unknown systems or governments are
defined as "Unknown Forces" and will be treated, when encountered, as friendly, unless
determined to be otherwise.
When considering the relationships between Star Fleet and any other force, Star Fleet
has no command authority, under normal circumstances, over Foreign or Local Forces
whether inside or outside Federation territory. In all cases, except when dealing with
unknown or unrecognized foreign governments, Star Fleet personnel must respect the
rank, honors, and privileges of all senior officers of Foreign Forces when they are
encountered.
When encountering Foreign Forces in open space, the Star Fleet Commander must
first identify the force and determine its intent. If the intent is peaceful, the Star Fleet
Commander will render or exchange appropriate honors or courtesies as established by
law or treaty. The action of the Star Fleet Commander to Foreign Forces in which
their intent is other than peaceful will depend upon the specific situation of the encounter.
If the encounter occurs within Federation space, the Star Fleet Commander shall
defend his command and Federation space to the utmost of his ability. If the encounter
occurs in foreign or unknown space, the Star Fleet Commander will do everything in his
power to prevent a fight with the force. In any case, the Star Fleet Commander has the
right and authority to protect his command to the maximum extent possible.
When encountering "Unknown Forces" in space, special procedures are undertaken to

communicate the peaceful intentions of the Star Fleet force. It is incumbent upon the
Star Fleet Commander to make the first peaceful gestures and to make his intentions
known to such forces. Star Fleet regards all encounters with "Unknown Forces" as
peaceful, taking appropriate security precautions, unless it is determined to be otherwise.
When Foreign Forces visit Federation facilities Star Fleet, as a matter of courtesy, will
send an officer to call upon the officer in command of the arriving ship or force to offer
customary courtesies and exchange information as appropriate, should the visiting Force
Commander not make a formal “Call” to the command. In general, it is incumbent upon
a visiting Force Commander to make the call first. When Star Fleet forces or a single
vessel arrives at a foreign port, the senior Star Fleet Commander of the force or the
Commanding Officer of the ship must make a call to the senior commander of the port
as custom and courtesy demands, and as required by Star Fleet Regulation 6420.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
PORT VISITATION RIGHTS
ARTICLES 43, 49 and 105 of the Articles of Federation guarantee Star Fleet such
"Rights of Passage" and "Port Visitation Rights" with the members of the United
Federation of Planets for the fulfillment of its mission and therefore, each member
system is required to fulfill its obligations to support Star Fleet.
"Rights of Passage" are the freedoms and privileges granted Star Fleet vessels to enter
or pass through the territorial boundaries of sovereign planetary systems, which can only
be granted through treaties and agreements between such governments and the United
Federation of Planets. The purpose of such rights is to provide Star Fleet the freedom
to move its forces anywhere in space. However, not all the systems within Federation
space have such agreements with the United Federation of Planets. In those cases,
Star Fleet must seek permission from such system governments prior to entering or
traversing the territories of these systems.
The function of "Port Visitation Rights" within Federation space is to support Star
Fleet in the execution of its functions by providing physical support and repair facilities.
Where facilities are not available to adequately support the fleet, Star Fleet may seek
permission from the local government to establish or construct such support facilities.
When establishing fleet support facilities, Star Fleet will compensate or make payments
to the local government for the use of any of its lands and facilities.
In addition to military support, ports also provide rest and recuperation facilities for Star
Fleet personnel and thus, provide leave and liberty opportunities for the crews. However,
Star Fleet personnel enjoying leave or liberty privileges are subject to the regulations and
laws of local governments, and are required at all times to respect the laws and customs
of the planet where such leave or liberty is granted at all times. When liberty is granted to
Star Fleet crews, the Commanding Officer of the Star Fleet ship is required to supply,
temporarily or permanently, a sufficient number of security officers or "Shore Patrol" to
maintain order and suppress any unseemly conduct on the part of any Star Fleet person
on liberty.
When outside of Federation territory, Star Fleet ships do not have any "Rights of
Passage" or "Port Visitation Rights" in foreign space or at any foreign port unless
agreements and treaties with the United Federation have been established stipulating
such rights. As such, Star Fleet vessels cannot enter known foreign space, dock at, orbit
around or send any of its personnel to foreign ports or stations without first obtaining
permission from the government having jurisdiction in that region of space, or over that
port or station contained therein. In addition, Star Fleet Commanders and Star Fleet
ship Commanding Officers must obtain permission from Star Fleet Command prior to
proceeding to any foreign port or system for general rest and recuperation, except in cases
of emergency when port visitation is deemed necessary for the safety of the ship or craft.
The requirement for "Port Visitation Rights" or "Rights of Passage" do not apply
when entering unknown space or a planetary system since permissions cannot be
requested if it is not known whether such permission can be granted. In such instances,
Star Fleet forces will enter unknown space or enter an unknown system as if it had such
rights. This is referred to as the “Right of Discovery” or “Rights of Exploration” in
interplanetary law.

2.8 SPECIAL SECURITY SERVICES

In this section the special services that Star Fleet may provide will be discussed. Special
services are defined as those services or functions not defined within the Star Fleet
Charter, but that may be applicable under provisions within the Articles of Federation,
or that the Federation Council may deem necessary. Although the authorities and
functions of Star Fleet are well defined within the Charter, Star Fleet still comes under
direct authority of the Federation Council in accordance with Paragraph 2 of ARTICLE 52
of the Articles of Federation.
WHEN LOCAL FORCES ARE INEFFECTIVE
In accordance with Paragraph 1, ARTICLE 2 of the Articles of Federation, each social

system within the United Federation territory would maintain its sovereignty and as
such, has the right to maintain an armed force as guaranteed in ARTICLE 51 of the
Articles of Federation. The forces of such systems are called Local Forces since they
serve the local planetary social system to which they were established.
The function of Local Forces is to protect the interests of and maintain the laws and
regulations of the local system government within its territorial boundaries. Star Fleet,
having jurisdiction outside the boundaries of these systems, does not have any authority
within these systems, nor can Star Fleet become actively involved in the internal affairs of
these systems as outlined in ARTICLES 14, 24 and 34 of the Star Fleet Charter, and
Paragraph 7 of ARTICLE 2 of the Articles of Federation.
However, the possibility exists that a Local Force may not have the will or capacity to
maintain peace and security within the jurisdiction they serve. When such a Local Force
becomes ineffective in its duty to maintain peace and security within its jurisdiction, the
entire Federation may be affected. In such cases Star Fleet may be called upon to
augment or replace the Local Force when it can no longer perform its function. Such a
request would typically be made by the local system government, which must be made
directly to the Federation Council.
The decision to use Star Fleet forces to augment or replace a Local Force rests entirely
with the Federation Council. The Federation Council will evaluate the impact to the
requesting system regarding the issues with the Local Force and the impact that the use
of Star Fleet forces may have on the system. If it can be demonstrated that the lack of or
ineffectiveness of a Local Force will have an effect on the peace and security of the entire
Federation as a whole, the Federation Council may elect to exercise its authority under
ARTICLES 39 and 51 of the Articles of Federation. If it is determined that Federation
forces must be used to augment or replace a Local Force, Star Fleet will be directed to
assemble such a force under ARTICLE 48 of the Articles of Federation. This will usually
involve a squadron of combatants and support vessels, along with a contingent of troops.
The primary mission of this Task Force will be to maintain peace and security within the
affected system, and to enforce local system laws. In this instance, ARTICLE 34 of the
Charter will be temporarily suspended. Although the force will be in command of the law
enforcement agency for the local government, Star Fleet will not interfere in the running
of that government as required under the ARTICLE 33 of the Charter.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
During the period of occupation, the Star Fleet Task Force Commander will endeavor
to recruit and train local system residents for the task of resuming control of its Local
Force. Star Fleet will utilize all the resources at its disposal to quickly develop a force
that will be under control of the local system government. The Star Fleet Task Force
Commander will make periodic reports on his activities and on the progress of creating a
Local Force to the Director: Star Fleet Command.
After such time as an effective force has been established, the Commander of the Star
Fleet Task Force will report to the Director: Star Fleet Command that such a force is
ready to assume its security role. The Director will then submit a recommendation to the
Federation Council, through the Military Staff Committee, that Star Fleet forces are
no longer necessary. It will then be up to the Federation Council to decide whether the
assigned force is no longer necessary. Should such a decision be made, Star Fleet will be
directed to immediately withdraw and to turn-over all duties to the newly established
Local Force.
SUPPRESSION OF INSURGENTS AND INSURRECTION
There is always the possibility that a planetary system government may be threatened or
overthrown due to insurrection from within, or by insurgents from outside the system. In
such cases, the Federation Council will closely monitor the situation. Rebellion from
within may be an indication of the dissatisfaction of the citizenry for their government. In
this case, the Federation Council may not act, but will only monitor. Should a newly
formed government be established, the Federation Council would act to have the new
government become a peaceful member of the Federation.
While in the establishment of law and order during the transition period, the Federation
Council may make a recommendation to the newly formed government that it can make
available security forces to aid the government during the transition. Should the newly
formed government accept the Federation Council’s offer, the council will task Star
Fleet to make such security arrangements. In this case a Star Fleet Representative will
be dispatched to establish the security requirements. The Star Fleet Representative will
report back to the Director: Star Fleet Command, who will assign a force as required
through the Chief of Star Fleet Operations. The primary mission of the force will be to
protect the newly formed government, maintain law and order, and to aid in the creation
of a new Local Force.
In the situation where an illegal rebellion may be occurring against a lawful government of
the Federation, the Federation Council may dispatch an armed force to suppress the
insurrection under ARTICLES 39 and 42 of the Articles of Federation when the Local
Force becomes ineffective in handling the revolt. In this instance the Federation Council
will direct Star Fleet to interfere and suppress the revolt in accordance with ARTICLES 48
and 51 of the Articles of Federation.
Should Star Fleet be called upon to suppress a revolt, a Task Force will be assigned,
which will include ground troops. The commander of this Task Force will have absolute
authority to declare martial law throughout the entire system, which means that all citizens
of the local system will come under direct Star Fleet authority and law enforcement. The
Task Force will remain until the revolt is completely suppressed and the legal government
restored, or is in full control of its system.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
As stated in previous sections, no one within Star Fleet is allowed to be involved with or
take part in the politics of any sovereign government. As such and during the suppression
of the revolt, Star Fleet may not supplant the government with one of its own making, or
take control of the legally recognized government. Star Fleet can only act as an extension
of the government in the performance of its peacekeeping role. However, if the situation
degrades to the point where the legally recognized government becomes totally ineffective
or non-existent, Star Fleet may, under direction of the Federation Council, temporarily
establish a military governorship until a new government can be formed. In this case the
Star Fleet Task Force Commander will become the Military Governor of the system
with the task of maintaining law and order. The Military Governor’s primary task will be
to establish a new permanent government that can be legally recognized by the United
SECURITY SERVICES
As stated in ARTICLE 26 of the Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet has the responsibility to
protect all of the citizens and property of the Federation. This responsibility includes the
protection of Federation and other government officials from harm through the use of
Star Fleet security forces. In summary, all high-ranking Federation officials will have
assigned to them personal bodyguards supplied by the Star Fleet Division of Security.
Such security personnel may either be in uniform or in plain clothes.
High-ranking government officials of local system governments will typically employ the
security services of their own Local Force to protect them. However, when outside the
boundaries of their respective system, Star Fleet will supplement the security team with
Star Fleet Security personnel. Such assistance is known as a Transitory Security
Arrangement. This is primarily due to the fact that the Local Force has no jurisdiction
outside their system.
Transitory Security Arrangements also apply to foreign officials as well, which are
automatically initiated when the official enters Federation territory. High-ranking officials
from foreign governments may have their own security service to protect them, but will
have Star Fleet security forces supplement the force while in Federation territory. This
has the dual security purpose of protecting the official from harm while in Federation
space, and to monitor the activities of foreign officials and personnel while a guest of the
Federation.
Some systems may not have their own Local Force or security personnel. In such cases
personal bodyguards will be supplied to them by Star Fleet Security should the official
venture beyond their system. In addition, the local government may also make a request
to the Federation Council for permanent security or law enforcement personnel. In this
case the Federation Council would direct Star Fleet to supply a security force to the
system which will come under direct authority of that government and as such, would
become the official Local Force of the system. However, although the Local Force of a
sovereign government, that force would not be detached from Star Fleet.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Star Fleet Local Force, in the above situation, would establish a Star Fleet base
upon the home world of the system. The operating force would comprise a division of
troops, and a squadron of Star Fleet ships that would be attached to the fleet in the
sector that the system resides. Therefore, although the Star Fleet force will act to protect
the local government and to perform its law enforcement function within the system, the
Local Force will continue be a part of Star Fleet and subject to Star Fleet Command,
Star Fleet Regulations and the Federation Council.
In addition to protecting people, Star Fleet is also tasked with protecting all Federation
property as well. As such, Star Fleet Security personnel will be assigned to safeguard all
Federation structures, buildings and establishments. As with guarding officials, security
personnel may either be in uniform or plain clothes.
Star Fleet may also be requested to supply security services to protect other property as
well. Under special conditions, and with Federation Council review and approval, Star
Fleet may provide security personnel to guard structures, buildings or establishments that
do not belong to the Federation government proper. Such property may include, but not
limited to, financial institutions, stores and warehouses, or other property that could have
a direct bearing on the security of the Federation. As with non-Federation government
personnel, such security services also come under the umbrella of Transitory Security
Arrangements.
Protection of property includes spacecraft as well as fixed structures and other such
property. ARTICLE 3 of the Star Fleet Charter specifically outlines the role Star Fleet
has in protecting Federation trade and as such, was given full authority and responsibility
to protect all merchant and commercial vessels and to escort them, if necessary, for the
protection of Federation commerce. Private and commercial enterprises may also request
escort protection if they can demonstrate that their vessels are in certain danger of being
attacked, or if traveling through unknown space that has a history of attack. Such requests
must be made to the Federation Council for approval.
REQUEST FOR SPECIAL SERVICES
All requests for special security services must go through the Federation Council, which
will determine if the service requested is legal or can be accomplished in accordance with
Federation law, or should be handled by Star Fleet or some other agency. Should the
Federation Council decide in favor of such a security request it may direct Star Fleet to
provide such Transitory Security Arrangements as it deems necessary. Star Fleet,
being under direct cognizance of the Federation Council, is duty-bound to honor all
Transitory Security Arrangements, except if such service may interfere with its
primary defense obligation.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
2.9 DISBANDMENT PROVISIONS

Chapter VII of the Star Fleet Charter describes what Star Fleet must do should the
United Federation of Planets disband or dissolve. Although not anticipated, the
disbandment provisions were added to account for the possibility that the Federation
might disband.
Recall that the early Confederation, prior to the Romulan war, was a loose collection of
planetary systems with no strong central authority. As such, coordinating or getting the
various system governments to implement rules, currency and policy was very difficult.
The entire Confederation appeared somewhat disorganized so that at the time the
Articles of Federation were drafted, it was uncertain whether the new Federation
would hold together. Therefore, disbandment provisions were incorporated into the
Charter to handle the possibility.
CONDITIONS FOR DISBANDMENT
According to ARTICLE 76 of the Star Fleet Charter, should the United Federation of
Planets, through some political or other situation require it to disband or break-up, the
Department of the Star Fleet will no longer exist.
The United Federation of Planets would be considered disbanded if all five of the
signatory worlds decided to secede from the Federation, and that all five of these worlds
also decided to handle their own security. A single member could secede, but this would
not be viewed as a complete break-up of the Federation. In this particular situation, the
disaffiliated world would not have the right to claim any current Star Fleet asset and the
Star Fleet Service would remain intact. Star Fleet personnel originating from the
withdrawn world have to remain within the Service until their obligation has been fulfilled.
The fact that a signatory world seceded would not necessarily deny Star Fleet security
services to that world. Star Fleet would still be obligated to protect the world since the
separated world would, most likely, still be within Federation space as required under
ARTICLE 26 of the Charter. However, the seceded world would be treated as any other
non-member system within Federation territory and as such, would have to abide by the
laws of the Federation in deep space. The break-away world will have to negotiate with
the Federation any special security service that Star Fleet may provide.
In addition, any Star Fleet base located on the home world or any station located within
the boundaries of the seceded system would remain the property of Star Fleet. This point
is not negotiable.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
RELEASE FROM OBLIGATIONS
In accordance with ARTICLE 77 of the Charter, upon disbandment, Star Fleet would be
released from all obligations and responsibilities. The current missions and assignments
will be completed and no more new assignments will be accepted. Any pending obligation
that has not yet been started will be cancelled.
When the disbandment process begins to occur, all Star Fleet forces will assemble at or
near Star Base Central. At that time the process of inventorying all the assets will begin.
Personnel assembled will be mustered out as soon as practical, but a skeleton force will
remain to protect the assets and to perform the inventory work.
RELEASE OF STAR FLEET PERSONNEL
Upon disbandment, all personnel serving within Star Fleet will be returned to their home
planet or the social system of their origin, or should they not wish to return to their home
world, they may go where they please. And if conditions permit, personnel may receive a
stipend and free passage to the system of their choice. The stipend would be based upon
the number of years of Star Fleet service: one month's pay for each year of service at the
individual’s current pay grade.
RELEASE OF STAR FLEET ASSETS
ARTICLES 79 and 80 of the Charter address the release of Star Fleet property upon
disbandment. In the case of Star Fleet property, all equipment (i.e. ships, craft, stations,
hardware, etc.) and other assets will be distributed among the original signatory member
systems. The amount each system would receive would be based upon the percentage of
the forces and equipment given to Star Fleet at the time of its creation. That is, the
percentage of the total force at the time Star Fleet was created will become the basis for
the distribution of Star Fleet assets.
Star Fleet bases and stations that were built on a system’s home world or the stations
orbiting within a member system will become the sole property of that system – regardless
whether the system was a member of the Federation or not. This would essentially be
the structures themselves and any furniture or non-military equipment contained therein.
All military equipment, weapons, etc., must be shipped to Star Base Central for disposal
or distribution. Star Fleet, before disbandment or at any time, is not authorized to sell or
give-away any of its equipment.
All colonies established or maintained by Star Fleet will be released from Star Fleet and
Federation control and would exist as independent sovereign social systems. The
disbandment of Star Fleet will have the most significant affect on colonies because there
would no longer be any entity to support and protect them. Therefore, colonies would
have to exist on their own or by some agreement, become attached to another sovereign
system.

3.0 STAR FLEET REGULATIONS

In this chapter the reader will become familiar with Star Fleet Regulations. Star Fleet
Regulations establishes the structural and organizational framework for the Star Fleet
Service as well as the rights and responsibilities of the men and women who serve within
the Star Fleet Service.
Executive Order 521, pursuant to CHAPTER VIII of the Articles of Federation, set up
the authority for the creation of the Department of the Star Fleet. As part of this order
the authority to establish specific regulations that are required for the development of the
Star Fleet Service, and the establishment of requirements for the preservation of military
professionalism, was conferred upon the Military Staff Committee by the Federation
Council. As such, Star Fleet Regulations have the full weight of Federation law.
In 2205 the Star Fleet Charter was completed by the Military Staff Committee and
presented to the Federation Council for approval. The structure of the Department of
the Star Fleet was now established. The next step was to select a Director: Star Fleet
Command to head the newly formed Service. The Military Staff Committee chose the
then Commander in Chief of the United Earth Forces Fleet Admiral Gene Roddenbery
to head the new Star Fleet Service. Thus, in 2207 the Department of the Star Fleet
was officially established and command of the Department was then fully turned-over to
the newly selected Director.
ARTICLE 11 of the Star Fleet Charter required the Director: Star Fleet Command to
issue regulations and directives describing the authorities, responsibilities, distinctions,
duties and relationships of the organizations and personnel within Star Fleet, and that
such regulations and directives would be endowed with the sanction of law. Therefore, one
of the first tasks of the Director was to create the regulations under which all Star Fleet
personnel would operate under. The Director, along with the Commanders in Chief of
their respective Local Force, established the Star Fleet Regulations. These regulations
were fashioned such that they would be used and applied to the Local Forces as well,
keeping in mind the separation between the Federation’s armed force and the Local
Forces. Thus, in late 2208 the final version of the regulations was presented to the
Federation Council for approval. From that point on it would be the responsibility of the
Director: Star Fleet Command to maintain and enforce Star Fleet Regulations, and
any new, amended or retired regulation would be handled exclusively by the Director.
Star Fleet Regulations are issued exclusively by the Director: Star Fleet Command,
with the approval of the Federation Council, in accordance with ARTICLE 51 of the Star
Fleet Charter. However, before submittal to the Council for approval, the Director will
task the Star Fleet Division of Justice to perform a review of the proposed regulation
to ensure compliance with Federation law.
Civilian personnel contracted or employed by Star Fleet do not come under direct
authority of Star Fleet Regulations, though some of the regulations do apply to such
personnel. However, civilian personnel will come under direct authority of the Star Fleet
Code of Conduct. As such, Star Fleet Command will use the Code instead for civilian
personnel employed by the Service.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Star Fleet Regulations document is organized into nine chapters entitled:
1000 THE DEPARTMENT OF THE STAR FLEET

2000 THE DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET COMMAND
3000 STAR FLEET COMMANDERS
4000 STAR FLEET COMMANDING OFFICERS
5000 PRECEDENCE, AUTHORITY AND COMMAND
6000 THE SENIOR OFFICER PRESENT
7000 HONORS AND CEREMONIES
8000 RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF PERSONS IN THE STAR FLEET SERVICE
9000 PURPOSE AND FORCE OF REGULATIONS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF THE
STAR FLEET
Chapter 1000 establishes the basic structure and objectives of the Department of the
Star Fleet. Chapter 2000 continues establishing the structure by defining the roles and
responsibilities of the Director: Star Fleet Command. In addition, Chapter 2000 also
identifies the various divisions that will be created within the Department based upon the
requirements set forth in ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter.
Chapter 3000 establishes the basic functionaries within the Star Fleet. These titles come
directly from ARTICLES 43 and 44 of the Star Fleet Charter. Chapter 4000 identifies the
roles and responsibilities of Star Fleet Commanding Officers and officers that are in a
position of command. This chapter also establishes some of the procedures such officers
must follow. It is Chapter 4000 which was used to create the Star Fleet Commanding
Officers Manual.
Chapter 5000 establishes the precedence, authority and responsibilities of officers within
the Service. This chapter provides the rules of conduct of officers and enlisted personnel in
their dealings with each other. Chapter 6000 sets the rules governing the relationship
between seniors and juniors. In addition, Chapter 6000 also establishes the rules that all
senior officers must abide by, many of which pertain to the compliance with Federation
and Local System laws. Chapter 7000 sets the standards for rendering honors to Star
Fleet and Federation officials, as well as to foreign dignitaries and other officials.
Chapter 8000 is known as the disciplinary regulations. These regulations establish the rules
or code of conduct of every member of the Star Fleet Service. In general any violation
of these regulations will be subject to military courts-martial. Most of the regulations in this
chapter form the basis for the Star Fleet Manual for Courts-Martial.
As seen, the organization of the regulations utilizes a top-down approach. That is, the
basic structure is first developed, and then detailed to the lower echelons; culminating in
the responsibilities required of all members of the Service.
With regard to Star Fleet Regulations, a regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the
Articles of Federation or the laws of the United Federation. A regulation remains in
effect until the Military Staff Committee, with the approval of the Federation Council,
rescinds it. Star Fleet Regulations are applicable to everyone who serves in the Star
Fleet Service.

3.1 THE FUNCTION OF REGULATIONS

As previously stated in Section 3.0 Star Fleet Regulations establishes the structural and
organizational framework for the Department of the Star Fleet as well as the rights and
responsibilities of the men and women who serve within the Star Fleet Service.
In general, Star Fleet Regulations can essentially be divided into four categories:
 Structural
 Administrative
 Procedural
 Disciplinary
Although regulations are categorized in such a manner, they are not grouped together into
these categories within the regulations, but are distributed throughout the document.
The structural regulations establish the organizational framework of the Department of

the Star Fleet. These regulations can be considered as non-violate since they define the
organization and cannot be violated. These regulations were developed directly from the
Star Fleet Charter. Chapter 1000 of Star Fleet Regulations specifically establishes the
structure of the Department of the Star Fleet.
Administrative regulations are those that establish the authority of personnel within the
Service. In addition, these regulations also establish the titles of officers in the Star Fleet.
An example of an administrative regulation is Star Fleet Regulation 3100, which
defines the title and responsibilities of a Commander.
Procedural regulations establish the processes Star Fleet personnel must follow to carry
out some specific function. Procedural regulations form the basis for the actual step-by-
step procedures used by personnel within the Service. Example: Star Fleet Regulation
3220 states how Commanders will assume command and what they are to accomplish
in the process of assuming command.
The disciplinary regulations primarily establish the rules of behavior for all Star Fleet
personnel. These regulations not only set the rules of behavior within the Service, but also
require Star Fleet personnel to observe Federation and other laws as well. Essentially all
of the regulations in Chapter 8000 are disciplinary and as such, anyone violating them may
be subject to a military court martial.

3.2 TYPES OF STAR FLEET REGULATIONS

In general, Star Fleet Regulations basically sets the way the Service and its personnel
function. However, Star Fleet has other regulations as well. These other regulations are
those established by the various divisions and bureaus within Star Fleet that are required
in order for these units to carry out the functions to which they were delegated as required
under ARTICLE 12 of the Star Fleet Charter. Such regulations include those governing
the licensing of private and commercial spacecraft, regulations regarding navigation and
ship handling, waste disposal regulations, and others. From these regulations standards
and procedures are developed specifying the steps required to implement and maintain
such regulations.
Many of these other regulations apply primarily to the civilian population as they venture
out into deep space and outside their home planetary system. These types of regulations
were established in order to maintain consistency throughout the Federation. Moreover,
the regulations established by Star Fleet have the sanction of Federation law and as
such, Star Fleet has the responsibility to enforce these regulations as part of its law
enforcement duties. However, Star Fleet cannot establish regulations that would only be
applied to a specific sovereign planetary system, nor can Star Fleet enforce any law or
regulation that was established in or that only applies within a Local System as required
under ARTICLE 34 of the Charter. Such internal regulations only apply within the local
system and as such, the responsibility for enforcing these regulations will fall to the Local
Force.
In order to implement the standard regulations and practices, Star Fleet Commanding
Officers are given authority over all persons and vessels that operate in open space.
Commanding Officers of Star Fleet ships are tasked with enforcing Federation law,
which includes the enforcement of the regulations that apply to the general population. As
such, a Star Fleet Commanding Officer has the authority to stop and hold private and
commercial spacecraft in open space for the purpose of inspection, operational violations
or for other valid reasons. In addition, Star Fleet personnel may board, without warrant,
any vessel for the purpose of such inspection. Should significant violations of important
regulations occur, Star Fleet has the authority to arrest and detain the violator, and to
seize any vessel and property not in compliance with such regulations.
Should a violation occur deep in Federation territory, the Commanding Officer can
convene a board of inquiry to establish the nature and extent of the violation. For minor
infractions, a Starship Commander may impose penalties including fines and the
revocation of licenses. However, for much more serious violations, the Commanding
Officer must defer to the local Star Fleet magistrate.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
REGULATIONS REGARDING VESSEL NAVIGATION AND

HANDLING
ARTICLE 4 of the Star Fleet Charter specifies that Star Fleet establish and enforce the
Star Fleet Rules of Space Navigation in accordance with the Interplanetary Rules
for Preventing Collisions in Space. In enforcing the Rules of Space Navigation,
Star Fleet established regulations regarding the safe operation and handling of private
and commercial spacecraft. Such regulations are in the form of Navigational Operations
Regulations (NAVREGS) and Navigational Operations Procedures (NAVOPS)
issued by the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space Navigation and kept within
BUNAVREG manuals. NAVREGS are the specific regulation numbers, while NAVOPS are
the functional procedures required to meet the regulations.
In addition, Star Fleet NAVREGS establish the standard method of locating an object in
space. The NAVREGS established the Federation Standard Coordinate System used
in space navigation, as well as the rules governing how the system will be employed and
maintained.
Star Fleet also has NAVREGS regarding private, public, commercial and military traffic
corridors, space lanes and routing zones. Private and commercial vessels will be assigned
designated routes by Star Fleet when individuals submit their flight plans. The function of
such corridors is to prevent collisions in space, and to locate commercial vessels if needed.
Should a vessel be in distress, it should then be easy for Star Fleet to locate the vessel. A
deviation out of such trade lanes is a violation of Federation law and thus, Star Fleet, in
its law-enforcement capacity, can stop, fine or arrest such violators.

NAVREG 103: The galactic center point shall be reviewed and reset every 50
years.
NAVREG 104: The Federation Standard Coordinate System shall be re-
calibrated every 30 years to account for changes in the position of
stellar bodies.
NAVREG 105: Standard Star Charts shall be updated every 10 years, or when
a new planetary system has been discovered, surveyed and
properly mapped.
NAVREG 106: The boundaries of Federation space shall be resurveyed every
five years to ensure the correct and proper boundary location of
the Federation and to account for any drift of marker buoys.
NAVREG 121: All Federation vessels are required to recalibrate their ship’s
coordinate system within their navigational computer whenever
the ship is overhauled.
NAVREG 214: All Federation vessels are required to have installed and
operating running lights. Such running lights shall be mounted on
the Port and Starboard sides of the craft, and shall be colored as
specified: Red on the Port side, and Green on the Starboard side.
In general, NAVREGS apply to all vessels that operate in Federation space, including
Star Fleet ships.
REGULATIONS REGARDING SPACECRAFT LICENSING AND

REGISTRATION
Star Fleet has authority over all vessels that move about within Federation space as
stipulated in ARTICLES 3, 4 and 30 of the Charter. As such, Star Fleet established the
Bureau of Federation Spacecraft (BUSHIPS) whose responsibility it is to formulate
the rules and regulations governing the design and operation of private and commercial
spacecraft that operate in deep space. These rules and regulations are designed to control
and standardize the requirements for ship construction with the emphasis on ship safety.
These regulations are in the form of SHIPREGS issued by the Star Fleet Bureau of
Federation Spacecraft and are kept within BUSHIPSREG manuals. These SHIPREGS
essentially require the design and construction standards of all spacecraft to be consistent
throughout the Federation.
Every vessel of the Federation that will venture out into deep space must be registered
and documented with Star Fleet. Such vessels cannot legally operate in open Federation
space without such documentation. Star Fleet is given the authority to issue such license
and registration documents, as well as the procedures and standards to which such vessels
will be licensed and registered. As such, Star Fleet will issue a registration certificate only
after a complete inspection of the vessel by Star Fleet has been completed. However,
Star Fleet has no authority regarding the registration and regulation of spacecraft that
only operate within local systems. Such spacecraft need not register with Star Fleet, but
will generally be listed within the Star Fleet database of known Federation vessels.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
REGULATIONS REGARDING SPACECRAFT OPERATOR

LICENSING
ARTICLE 4 of the Star Fleet Charter also specifies that Star Fleet issue and regulate the
operator’s licenses of all commercial and private spacecraft within the Federation that
plan on venturing out into deep space. Operators of vessels that travel out into deep space
must be registered with Star Fleet. It is the responsibility of Star Fleet to test and issue
Pilot’s and Master's Licenses to such individuals operating spacecraft in deep space.
They allow an individual to operate Star Fleet registered spacecraft anywhere within the
territorial boundaries of Federation space. To operate in deep space a Masters License
must be renewed every four years and can be revoked at any time by Star Fleet. Persons
who are licensed to pilot spacecraft only within a local system cannot operate spacecraft
outside the boundaries of that system.
These regulations are in the form of SHIPREGS issued by the Star Fleet Bureau of
Federation Spacecraft as shown in the previous section. As with the other SHIPREGS,
a select sampling of some of the important SHIPREGS will be presented.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
REGULATIONS REGARDING COMMERCIAL TRADE AND

TRANSPORTATION
ARTICLE 3 of the Star Fleet Charter specifies that Star Fleet has the responsibility for
regulating and protecting Federation trade in open space. As such, Star Fleet is required
to protect all ships and transport vessels operating inside the boundaries of Federation
space, prevent contraband items from entering or leaving Federation territory, and to
license, inspect and regulate all commercial vessels operating within Federation territory.
These functions are covered under rules established by the Commerce Administration
of the Federation Council.
Star Fleet will enforce these Federation Regulations as they apply to commercial ships
that operate in deep space. Enforcement of such Federation Regulations will typically
be done through the issuance of Star Fleet General Orders. In this particular instance,
General Orders 5 and 16 would apply*.
REGULATIONS REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF

FEDERATION COLONIES AND SETTLEMENTS
ARTICLE 21 of the Star Fleet Charter gives Star Fleet broad authority and responsibility
over all Federation colonies, settlements and expeditions established within and outside
Federation space. This authority extends to private, academic and commercial colonies,
including all civilian expeditions, settlements and outposts as well as those established and
maintained by Star Fleet. As such, all colonies and expeditions must adhere to the same
laws and regulations as with Federation systems. Because colonies and expeditions are
not sovereign entities, they are not considered governments with laws recognized by the
Federation Council.
Colonies and expeditions are entitled to have their own rules and regulations governing the
conduct of their members and the operation of their enterprise. However, such regulations
only apply to the internal functioning of the colony and do not apply to anyone outside the
enterprise, nor can they be enforced outside of the enterprise. In addition, all colonies and
expeditions must abide by Federation laws and regulations and therefore, all the internal
rules and regulations of the colony must also be based upon Federation law as well.
Star Fleet regulations regarding the operation of colonies and settlements are in the form
of COLREGS issued by the Star Fleet Bureau of Colonies and Settlements and
contained in BUCOLREG manuals. Such COLREGS apply to both civilian and Star Fleet
initiated enterprises.
*A complete list of Star Fleet General Orders can be found in Section 5.7 of Volume II.

Regulations regarding the design and construction of Star Fleet vessels will be described
in more detail in Volume V of the Star Fleet Command Manual, which are in the form
of STARSHIPS standards developed by the Star Ship Systems Command.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
REGULATIONS RELATING TO COMMUNICATIONS
ARTICLE 4 of the Star Fleet Charter gives Star Fleet authority and responsibility over
all communications that occur in open space. As such, Star Fleet will establish and set the
communications frequencies and channels that can be used in open space. However, Star
Fleet does not have any authority or control over the sub-light communications channels
and frequencies established by local system governments for use within their systems, only
the high-energy subspace channels used for intersystem and intergalactic communications.
As such, Star Fleet has complete authority over all subspace communications.
As part of this authority Star Fleet will establish subspace communications channels for
various purposes. These subspace channels range from Public, Commercial and Private to
TOP SECRET military and tight-beam communications and will be assigned to private,
public and Federation agencies for distribution. It should be noted that the subspace
channels assigned to private citizens and commercial enterprises will be distributed by the
Federation Communications Administration. However, Star Fleet will still monitor
and enforce the proper usage of these channels.
In addition, Star Fleet will create and issue regulations regarding the use of all open-
space communications and as part of this regulatory authority, Star Fleet will monitor
subspace channels for compliance with these regulations. Star Fleet regulations regarding
deep-space communications are in the form of Fleet Communications Regulations or
FLTCOMMREGS issued by the Star Fleet Office of Fleet Communications and listed
within FLTCOMMREG manuals. These regulations apply to both civilian and Star Fleet
personnel. The following is a sample of some of the FLTCOMMREGS:
FLTCOMMREG 2A: All subspace communications shall come under the control,
authority and monitoring of Star Fleet.
FLTCOMMREG 10B: Star Fleet shall, at all times, monitor Emergency Channels for
any call for aid or distress, and shall immediately respond to such
requests.
FLTCOMMREG 15A: Star Fleet shall not, in the normal course of operations, monitor
or tap private communications channels.
FLTCOMMREG 15B: Star Fleet shall never use Private Channels to transmit or
receive official Star Fleet or Federation government
communications.
FLTCOMMREG 20C: All Subspace Relay Stations shall be periodically calibrated to
ensure complete and error-free reception and transmission of
subspace communications.
FLTCOMMREG 28A: Transmission of classified information shall only be performed
through secured and coded channels.
FLTCOMMREG 34B: Star Fleet Message Headers shall incorporate the Command
Prefix Number to identify the recipient unit of the message.
FLTCOMMREG 46A: If it is suspected that transmissions are being monitored during
battle or other tactical situations, the command shall not transmit
unencoded messages on an open or unsecured channel.
A complete list of the FLTCOMMREGS can be found in Section 5.6 of Volume II of the
Star Fleet Command Manual.

3.3 FORCE OF STAR FLEET REGULATIONS

Star Fleet Regulations have the force of law and are enforced by the Star Fleet Judge
Advocate General. A violation of any of the disciplinary regulations may result in a
military court-martial.
A regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Articles of Federation or the laws of the
United Federation and will remain in effect until the Director: Star Fleet Command,
with the approval of the Federation Council, rescinds it. Star Fleet Regulations are
applicable to all those who serve in the Star Fleet Service.
PERSONS SUBJECT TO STAR FLEET REGULATIONS
The following persons are subject to Star Fleet Regulations:
 Regular members of the Star Fleet Service, including those awaiting discharge after
expiration of their terms of enlistment or commission; volunteers from the time of their
muster or acceptance into the Service; inductees from the time of their actual
induction into the Service; and other persons lawfully called or ordered into, or to duty
in or for training in the Service, from the dates when they are required by the terms of
the call or order to obey it to the time their service has been completed and they are
discharged
 Cadets and midshipmen
 Members of the Star Fleet Reserve
 Members of the Reserve component while on inactive-duty training
 Retired members of the Reserve component who are receiving hospitalization
 Retired members of the Star Fleet Service who are entitled to pay
 Persons in custody of the Star Fleet Service serving a sentence imposed by a court-
martial
 Prisoners of war in custody of the Star Fleet Service
 In time of war, persons serving with or accompanying a Star Fleet force in the field
 Persons of Local Forces under a unified command with Star Fleet
PERSONS NOT SUBJECT TO STAR FLEET REGULATIONS
 Civilians working for the Department of the Star Fleet. However, in the case where
they may violate a regulation, they may be subject to Federation prosecution
 Members of the Federation Council
 Members of any other branch of the Federation government embarked as
passengers, or otherwise stationed at Star Fleet offices
 Persons of Local Forces who are legally functioning outside of their respective
territory and which are not under a unified command of the Star Fleet

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
ACTION WITH RESPECT TO VIOLATIONS OF STAR FLEET

REGULATIONS
Any person who violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation; having
knowledge of any other lawful order issued by any member of the Star Fleet Service,
which it is his or her duty to obey, fails to obey the order or regulation; or is derelict in the
performance of his or her duties required under regulations; shall be punished as a court-
martial may direct. However, no charge or specification may be referred to a general
court-martial for trial until a through and impartial investigation of all the matters relating
to the violation of an order or regulation has been made. This investigation will include
inquiry as to the truth of the matter set forth in the charges, consideration of the form of
charges, and recommendation as to the disposition which should be made of the case in
the interest of justice and discipline.
If an investigation of the subject matter of an offense has been conducted before the
accused is charged with the offense, and if the accused was present at the investigation
and afforded the opportunities for representation, cross-examination, and presentation
prescribed under the rules set forth in the Star Fleet Manual for Courts-Martial, no
further investigation of that charge is necessary unless it is demanded by the accused after
he or she has been informed of the charge. A demand for further investigation entitles the
accused to recall witnesses for further cross-examination and to offer any new evidence in
his or her behalf.
Charges and specifications regarding the violation of a regulation must be signed by the
person being charged under oath before a commissioned officer of the Star Fleet Service
authorized to administer oaths and will state: (1) that the signer has personal knowledge
of, or has investigated, the matters set forth therein; and (2) that they are true in fact to
the best of his knowledge and belief. Upon the preferring of charges, the proper authority
must take immediate steps to determine what disposition should be made in the interest of
justice and discipline, and the person accused must be informed of the charges against
him or her as soon as practicable.
Should a general court martial be required the Commanding Officer of the accused must
submit a request for court-martial to the nearest Judge Advocate. Typically, this is done
in order to obtain the requisite four command officers required to judge over the accused.
In deep space where a Judge Advocate may not be present, a general court martial can
be convened aboard a Star Fleet vessel if, and only if, the requisite number of officers of
command grade are embarked and available. However, this is not typically the case, and in
such instances the vessel must proceed to the nearest command base for trial.
For minor infractions of Star Fleet Regulations, or other orders, the Commanding
Officer of the individual charged may elect to handle the matter under the non-judicial
punishment articles as declared in the Star Fleet Manual for Courts-Martial. The
punishments met out in this fashion must be as prescribed in the Star Fleet Manual for
Courts-Martial.

4211 RELIEF OF A COMMANDING OFFICER BY A SUBORDINATE
It is conceivable that most unusual and extraordinary circumstances may arise in

which the relief from duty of a Commanding Officer by a subordinate becomes
necessary, either by placing the Commanding Officer under arrest or on the sick
list. Such action shall never be taken without the approval of the Chief of Star
Fleet Personnel, as appropriate, or the senior officer present, except when
reference to such higher authority is undoubtedly impracticable because of the
delay involved or for other clearly obvious reasons.
In order that a subordinate officer, acting upon his or her own initiative, may be
vindicated for relieving a Commanding Officer from duty, the situation must be
obvious and clear, and must admit of the single conclusion that the retention of
command by such Commanding Officer will seriously and irretrievably prejudice
the public interests or the safety of the command. The subordinate officer, so
acting, must:
a. Must be next in succession to command,
b. Must be unable to refer the matter to a common superior for the reasons set
forth in the preceding paragraph,
c. Must be certain that the prejudicial actions of the Commanding Officer are
not caused by orders or instructions unknown to the subordinate officer,
d. Must have given the matter careful consideration and have made such
exhaustive investigation of all the circumstances as may be practicable,
e. Must be thoroughly convinced that the conclusion to relieve the
Commanding Officer is one which a reasonable, prudent and experienced
officer would regard as a necessary action to take.

regardless of whether the officer avails himself at the time of all or part of the
proceed time.
3. An application for revocation or modification of orders will not justify any
delay in their execution if the officer ordered is able to travel.
4. Proceed time for technical personnel will be prescribed by the Director: Star
Fleet Command or the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel.
8930 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND TREATMENT
Equal opportunity and treatment shall be accorded all persons in the Star Fleet
Service irrespective of their race, color, religion, sex, or planetary origin consistent
with requirements for physical capabilities.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
In this section the organizational command structure, or the “Chain of Command”, for the
Department of the Star Fleet will be briefly discussed. The basic command structure
for the Department was established in Chapter III of the Star Fleet Charter. As such,
the remaining sections of this chapter will be devoted to discussing the various elements of
this command structure in more detail.
The high-level command structure of the Department of the Star Fleet is illustrated in
Figure 1a40.1. This figure shows all the primary division heads by their title, designation
and rank, and presents the top most officers within Star Fleet.
At the very top is the Director: Star Fleet Command, the senior military officer of Star
Fleet as required under ARTICLE 39 of the Star Fleet Charter. The responsibilities and
authorities of the Director are delineated in Star Fleet Regulation 2300, and a more
complete description of the Director may be found in Section 4.1.
Under the Director are the various Division Directors that manage the major functions
of the Department of the Star Fleet. The function of each of these Division Directors
will be described in detail within the subsequent sections of this chapter. It must be noted
that throughout the various sections of this chapter the term “his” or “him” may be used.
This is not used to indicate gender, but merely a convenient way to show ownership.
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Office of the Director: Star Fleet Command was established in accordance with
ARTICLE 39 of the Star Fleet Charter, and is the top most level within the Executive
branch of the Department of the Star Fleet. The Office of the Director contains the
Vice Director: Star Fleet Command, the Star Fleet Chief of Staff, the Chief of Star
Fleet Representatives, the Chief of Star Fleet Records, the Chief of Star Fleet
Chaplains, the Chief of Star Fleet Finance, the Commander: Public Relations, the
Judge Advocate General and the Inspector General as specified in Paragraph 1 of
Star Fleet Regulation 2600.
STAR FLEET CHIEF OF STAFF
The Star Fleet Chief of Staff (SFCOS) is a position established within the Office of the
Director under ARTICLE 41 of the Charter for the purpose of supervising and coordinating
the work of the staff assigned to the Director. The SFCOS will be an officer junior to the
Director and Vice Director, and will typically have a rank of Vice Admiral. This specific
grade was set following the guidelines set forth in Star Fleet Regulation 3810 regarding
an officer detailed as "Chief Staff Officer."
Although essentially managing the staff of the Director, the position of SFCOS has no
command authority in and of itself. The SFCOS basically coordinates the work assigned to
the staff by the Director. A more detailed description of the duties of the SFCOS will be
made in Section 4.3.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CIVILIAN ASSISTANTS
As directed under Paragraph 3 of Star Fleet Regulation 2600, the Executive branch of
the Department of the Star Fleet contains those civilian assistants required under the
regulation. The function of these assistants is to interact with the civilian Federation
authorities and other government or civilian officials. The specific duties of each civilian
assistant will be described in detail in Section 4.6.
DIVISION DIRECTORS
The Department of the Star Fleet is organized into Divisions and Bureaus specifically
designed to handle the major functions of Star Fleet. A Division is a large organization
with a somewhat wide scope, whereas a Bureau is more focused on a specific function.
The heads of Star Fleet divisions are defined in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation
2600.
Some of the divisions within the Star Fleet represent a particular Staff Corps. As such,
the director of such a division is also the senior military officer of that Staff Corps. These
division directors are typically Limited Duty Officers or LDOs and as such, are restricted
for duty within their area of specialization as described in Paragraph 2b of Star Fleet
Regulation 5100.
Directors of Star Fleet divisions will generally have the title of Chief. However, a division
director will be titled according to the size and scope of the division, bureau or section he
commands as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 3100. In order of precedence, the titles
of directors are as follows:

Notes:
1. The Star Fleet is a Department in itself and therefore, there is only one Director.
2. The title of Commander in Chief was entered to show relative precedence among division directors, but
there is no division head with a title of CINC. This title is reserved for operating forces.
3. The title of Commander is used for both division directors and for operating forces.

4.1 DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET COMMAND[1]

Chapter III of the Star Fleet Charter established the organizational structure of the
Department of the Star Fleet; specifically, ARTICLE 38 tasked Star Fleet Command
with the responsibility of carrying out the policies of the Federation Council. To head
this organization ARTICLE 39 of the Charter established the Office of the Director: Star
Fleet Command and gave it overall command authority over every aspect of Star Fleet
operation. As such, the Director: Star Fleet Command is the senior military officer of
the Star Fleet Service and takes precedence over all persons within the Department of
the Star Fleet.
The Director: Star Fleet Command will be a member of the Federation Joint Chiefs
of Staff and as such, represents Star Fleet regarding all military matters concerning the
security of the Federation. However, if necessary, the Director may assign a senior Star
Fleet officer to represent him in joint session during his absence, or may defer to another
officer to represent Star Fleet as a member of the Federation Joint Chiefs. However,
this puts the Director in a position whereby the person chosen to be a member of the
Joint Chiefs would have precedence over the Director, but this is seldom done.
As a member of the Federation Joint Chiefs the Director will be the principal Star
Fleet adviser to the Federation Council and to the Military Staff Committee on the
conduct of war, and the chief adviser and executive to the Military Staff Committee on
the activities of Star Fleet.
AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTOR
Generally, the Director: Star Fleet Command is responsible for keeping the Military
Staff Committee and the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff fully informed on all
matters considered or acted upon by the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff pertaining to
Star Fleet and Federation security. As such, the Director will be responsible, under the
Federation Council and the Military Staff Committee, for those duties external to the
Department of the Star Fleet, as may be required.
The Director: Star Fleet Command, as the senior officer of Star Fleet, has absolute
authority over all personnel within the Service, including all civilian employees hired by
Star Fleet. This authority was given to the Director under ARTICLE 39 of the Star Fleet
Charter and as such, will be the only officer within the Star Fleet Service with the rank
of Fleet Admiral. In addition, and within a unified command, the Director will also have
the title of Commander-in-Chief: United Federation Defense Forces (CINCDEF).
This title only applies during time of galactic war where local Federation forces will be
combined with Star Fleet to form a single, unified fighting force. In such cases the
Director, acting as the CINCDEF, will have complete authority over the entire unified
force and will have precedence over every officer of that force. It should be noted that the
role of the CINCDEF is not the same as that of the Commander-in-Chief Combined
Federation Forces or CINCCOMFOR, which is held by the Chairman: Joint Chiefs of
Staff. Thus, the title of CINCDEF applies only to a combined, unified force that is under
Star Fleet command, whereas the CINCCOMFOR is for a unified command under the
Military Staff Committee, which will not be exclusively under Star Fleet command.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Internal to the administration of the Department of the Star Fleet the Director, under
direction of the Military Staff Committee, commands the entire Operating Forces of
the Star Fleet and all its shore activities. He is directly responsible to the Military Staff
Committee for the utilization of Federation resources and the operating efficiency of all
commands and activities within the Department of the Star Fleet.
As the senior military officer the Director: Star Fleet Command is solely responsible for
organizing, training, equipping, preparing and maintaining the readiness of all Star Fleet
forces, including those assigned to unified or specific commands for the performance of
the missions assigned by the Military Staff Committee. In addition, the Director will
determine and direct the efforts necessary to fulfill the current and future requirements of
Star Fleet for manpower, material, facilities and services, including the determination of
quantities, qualities, and military performance requirements. As such, the Director will
formulate strategic plans and policies regarding the overall direction of Star Fleet and will
participate in the formulation of joint and combined strategic plans with the Military Staff
Committee concerning the requirements of maintaining an effective Federation force.
As the senior executive the Director is also responsible for budgeting the units, divisions,
and offices within Star Fleet, and to budget for other activities and programs as assigned,
except as may be otherwise directed by the Military Staff Committee. In so doing, the
Director is principally responsible for determining the needs of the Star Fleet and all its
activities; for all research, development, testing, and evaluation for and within the Star
Fleet; to plan and provide for the conduct of research that is adequate and responsive to
long-range objectives, immediate requirements and fiscal limitations. In addition, the
Director is required to inspect and investigate components of Star Fleet to determine
and maintain its efficiency, discipline, readiness, effectiveness and economy.
Lastly, the Director must exercise leadership in maintaining a high degree of competence
among Star Fleet officers, technicians and civilian employees. As such, the Director is
responsible for the quality of Star Fleet personnel through education, training and equal
opportunities for personal advancement and to maintain the morale and motivation of
Star Fleet personnel as well as the prestige of the Service.
In addition to the authorities and responsibilities mentioned, the Director is also directly
responsible for the Star Fleet Vessel and Station registries. As such, the Director is
responsible for the assignment and classification of spacecraft, and the designation of the
status of each ship and service craft, as well as the designation of the status of each base
and space station.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
ARTICLE 39 of the Star Fleet Charter established the Office of the Director: Star
Fleet Command as the focal point for the administration of the Star Fleet. This office
contains the Vice Director: Star Fleet Command, who is the chief executive officer of
the Star Fleet. Figure 1a41.1 illustrates the command organization of the Office of the
Director.
In addition to the Vice Director, the Office of the Director: Star Fleet Command also
contains his chief administrative officers, or officers in charge of those divisions relating to
the management of the Department of the Star Fleet as required under Paragraph 1 of
Star Fleet Regulation 2600. These officers are:
 The Chief of Star Fleet Representatives

 The Chief of Star Fleet Records
 The Chief of Star Fleet Finance
 The Star Fleet Inspector General
 The Star Fleet Judge Advocate General
 The Chief of Star Fleet Chaplains
 The Commander of Public Relations
These officers, as will be later described in Section 4.4, report directly to the Director. In
addition, the Office of the Director also contains the Star Fleet Chief of Staff, whose
responsibility it is to supervise the staff and coordinate the work assigned by the Director.
The Office of the Director also includes several civilian assistants needed to perform
those non-military duties as necessary to interact with civilian Federation and other
government and civilian officials, and to advise the Director on all matters pertaining
thereto. These assistants, under direction of the Star Fleet Chief of Staff, include:
 The Federation Liaison

 The Solicitor General
 The Surgeon General
 The Consul General
Physically, the Office of the Director is located on Star Base Central, which is at the
center of the Federation Treaty Zone and the very heart of the United Federation of
Planets.
APPOINTMENT TO DIRECTORSHIP
The Director: Star Fleet Command is an appointed position and therefore, it is the
responsibility of the Military Staff Committee to select one of its own members or
someone from within the Department of the Star Fleet to become the Director.
Consideration is given to each of the Commanders in Chief of their respective Local
Force for selection or to select an officer from their own particular force, but it is not a
requirement. The duration of the appointment is completely up to Military Staff
Committee, but a maximum limit of eight years has been set. The Military Staff
Committee will evaluate the performance of the Director on a yearly basis, and will
decide then if a replacement is necessary or desired.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SELECTION OF A DIRECTOR
When it is time for a Director to be selected, the Military Staff Committee will initiate
a selection board made up of the senior military officers of the five signatory worlds that
comprise the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff. The board will generally be established
approximately 90 days before the date of retirement or vacancy. This allows ample time to
select and have approved a new Director in time to take over the duties of the office. In
addition, this time frame also allows for a 30 day “turn-over” period to allow the incoming
Director to become familiar with the office and of any outstanding or unresolved issue or
directive that may fall upon the new Director.
If the need to select a new Director is as a result of incapacity or immediate vacancy of

the office, the Vice Director will automatically assume the responsibility of Director in
accordance with Paragraph 4 of Star Fleet Regulation 2100. Should this occur, the
Military Staff Committee will vote regarding the permanency of the replacement. The
Vice Director will not automatically be promoted to Fleet Admiral until the Military
Staff Committee has voted on permanence and the Federation Council has approved
of the results.
The process begins with each member of the selection board submitting no more than two
candidates of their own choosing, which must be done within 30 days. Board members can
submit themselves for consideration, although it is not of good form to do so. After the 30-
day period the service records of all the candidates will be gathered and submitted to the
selection board for evaluation.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SELECTION
The selection of the Director is typically based upon several requirements. The primary
requirement is that the person selected must be a senior flag officer of any one of the five
permanent members of the Federation’s military force. However, the individual may also
be selected from among the senior flag ranks of Star Fleet itself. The seniority aspect is
generally an indication of the person’s dedication to service and achievement in attaining
such a high position.
Second, the candidate should have distinguished himself in the service of the Federation.
The candidate’s service record will be reviewed by the selection board for such distinctions
and past performance. This is, for the most part, a preference rather than a concrete
requirement, but it is preferable to have a highly distinguished officer as Director.
Third, the candidate should have a good working knowledge of Star Fleet operations. The
candidate should be completely familiar with Star Fleet Regulations, General Orders
and other directives and procedures, as well as familiarity with the organizational structure
of the Department of the Star Fleet. This is a prime reason why most of the Directors
come from the senior ranks of the Star Fleet Service than elsewhere.
Forth, the candidate should possess a working knowledge of galactic conditions, issues and
concerns. That is, the candidate should be familiar with the political problems that exist
between the various governments and factions within the United Federation. Also, the
candidate should be somewhat familiar with, though not required to possess a complete
knowledge of, the strategic plans of the Federation Council. In this regard, a member of
the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff will typically possess this sort of knowledge.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SELECTION BY THE BOARD
Each sponsor of a candidate will make their case for selection to the Board regarding the
reasons for nominating their candidate and based upon the aforementioned requirements,
the selection board will vote on each candidate in an open ballot. Each member will explain
his or her reason for voting for or against a candidate. This comprises the initial “weeding-
out” process. This process will continue until a consensus is reached on a single candidate.
FEDERATION COUNCIL APPROVAL
The Federation Council ultimately approves of the selection made by the Military Staff
Committee. The Military Staff Committee will submit its final selection to the Council
for review. If the Federation Council accepts the selection, it will be presented to the
Federation Council President for approval and signature. Should the President or the
Council reject the selection, then it is returned to the Military Staff Committee and the
process begins again, but at a more accelerated pace.
The President or any member of the Federation Council may, at any time, request a
personal interview with the candidate under consideration and the candidate is obligated
to honor such request.
SUCCESSION TO DIRECTORSHIP
In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 2100, the Vice Director, and then the senior
officers of Star Fleet on duty in the Office of the Director in the order of their seniority
will, unless otherwise directed by the Federation Council, carry out the duties of the
Director during his absence, or disability, or in the event of a temporary vacancy in that
office.
PREROGATIVES OF THE DIRECTOR
The Director: Star Fleet Command has certain privileges not given to other Star Fleet
officers. These include:
 The Director’s own personal shuttlecraft

 An office and spacious living quarters at most of the larger Starbases
 A flag of the Office of the Director
 Personal aides and staff, including a personal secretary
 A special budget for entertaining and for operating expenses
PERMANENT OFFICE ABOARD STAR FLEET FLAGSHIP
The Director: Star Fleet Command also maintains a permanent command office aboard
the Star Fleet Command Flagship the U.S.S. Directorate (NCC-1800). This
particular ship is classified as a Heavy Battleship, but it is not assigned to any operating
unit. It is primarily used for ceremonial and diplomatic missions, but would be used as an
offensive weapon in case of war. The Director primarily uses this flagship to visit Star
Fleet forces, engage in diplomatic functions, perform ceremonies and social gatherings,
inspect operating units, and to direct operations away from his or her central office.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SEAL OF THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
The Office of the Director is indicated by the official seal of the Department of the
Star Fleet and as such, the Director may use this seal on all official communications,
stationary and may fly a personal flag with this seal.
FLAG OF THE DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET COMMAND
The official flag of the Director: Star Fleet Command is based on the original design of
the official Star Fleet seal. The flag is a rectangle with the dimensions 198 cm long by
128 cm wide. The center of the flag contains the Department of the Star Fleet seal,
which is placed in the center of a blue field with a gold fringe as illustrated below.

VOLUME I

4.2 VICE DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET

COMMAND
ARTICLE 40 of the Star Fleet Charter also established the Vice Director: Star Fleet
Command within the Office of the Director. The primary function of the Vice Director
is to act as executive to the Director, and may function in behalf of the Director on the
Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Vice Director is a senior officer of Star Fleet, second only to the Director, and will
have the rank of full Admiral. Only officers within the Star Fleet Service may hold this
position and therefore, officers of Local Federation Forces cannot be selected to hold
this position.
AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VICE DIRECTOR
In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 2200, the Vice Director will only have those
authorities and duties with respect to Star Fleet as the Director, with the approval of the
Military Staff Committee, may delegate or prescribe for him. However, orders issued
by the Vice Director in performing such duties will have the same force and effect as
those issued by the Director.
SELECTION OF THE VICE DIRECTOR
It is the privilege of the Director: Star Fleet Command to select his or her own Vice
Director. The only requirement to become the Vice Director is that the officer selected
be a senior Star Fleet line officer of flag grade and eligible to command. Regarding the
selection, the Military Staff Committee may only function in the capacity as advisor, but
cannot approve or disapprove of the selection. As such, should the current position of Vice
Director become vacant for some reason, the Director may choose any eligible senior
Star Fleet flag officer to fill the position.
The Director will evaluate the performance of the Vice Director on a yearly basis and
will decide if he wishes to retain the individual holding that office, or replace that individual
with another of his choosing.
There are no term limitations regarding the person holding the position of Vice Director.
The officer holding this position does so for as long as that individual is in office, or as long
as the Director holds his office, or as long as the Director deems fit or appropriate, or
until the individual retires from service. When a new Director is installed, he can select
his own Vice Director or keep the officer currently holding the position. In general, the
Vice Director works for and at the pleasure of the Director: Star Fleet Command.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
UNIFORM OF THE VICE DIRECTOR
The uniform of the Vice Director: Star Fleet Command is the same as for all other

same as that worn by the Director. As such, the uniform for the Vice Director conforms
to the Star Fleet Uniform Standard (BUPERSMAN-332), and consists of the Formal
Dress Blue (SF[M|F]O1N) and the Ceremonial Dress White (SF[M|F]O1W)
uniforms as illustrated in Figure 1a42.1 for official and formal occasions, and the Service
Dress (SD[M|F]O1G) as shown in Figure 1a42.2 for semi-formal and military functions.
However, the Vice Director will generally wear the standard working uniform
(SW[M|F]O1A) while on duty. The uniform generally consists of a pair of black trousers
(Item 3421) and the Type II tunic (Item 3413 or 3414 for females) in goldenrod. The
sleeve braid of the Vice Director consists of one thick solid gold band and three thin solid
gold bands as illustrated in Figure 1a42.2.
BADGE OF THE VICE DIRECTOR: STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Office of the Vice Director: Star Fleet Command is also indicated by the special
badge worn only by the Vice Director: Star Fleet Command. The badge of the Vice
Director is the same as the Director except that it has only four stars at the bottom
instead of five. This badge will always be worn by the Vice Director on all uniforms.

4.3 STAR FLEET CHIEF OF STAFF

The Star Fleet Chief of Staff (SFCOS) is a position created within the Office of the
Director under ARTICLE 41 of the Star Fleet Charter for the purpose of supervising and
coordinating the work of the staff assigned to the Director. The SFCOS will be an officer
junior to the Director and Vice Director, and will typically have a rank of Vice Admiral.
The organizational structure for the SFCOS is illustrated in Figure 1a43.1. The persons
that come under direct authority of the SFCOS are the various civilian assistants assigned
to the Director. The SFCOS will also coordinate work between the various Star Fleet
division chiefs, and such other work as assigned to the division chiefs by the Director. As
such, all assignments to the division chiefs and the staff assigned to the Director will go
through the SFCOS. To aid in his responsibilities the SFCOS has assigned to him the Star
Fleet Command Adjutant General (SFCAG) to aid in the administration and discipline
of the staff members under him. Typically a line officer with the rank of Commodore, the
SFCAG will ensure that the individuals under the direction of the SFCOS perform their
duties.
The SFCOS will also coordinate the work assigned to the various administrative division
directors by the Director, as listed in Section 4.1 of this chapter. In this capacity the
SFCOS will schedule the work and forward any task requests from the Director to the
division directors. However, the SFCOS has no command authority over any of these
division heads. The SFCOS will only relay those orders and directives issued by the
Director to the appropriate division heads.
As stated in Section 4.1, the Office of the Director: Star Fleet Command also contains
special civilian assistants that perform the non-military duties required to interact with
governmental and civilian officials. These assistants are:
 The Federation Liaison,

 The Solicitor General,
 The Surgeon General,
 The Consul General, and
A more detailed description of the functions and duties of these civilian assistants may be
found in Section 4.6 of this volume. Suffice it to say, the civilian assistants report directly
to the SFCOS. The SFCOS will request from these assistants any information, reports or
documents required by the Director relating to their particular specialty and forward them
to the Director. As such, these assistants work for the Director through the SFCOS.
In addition to the civilian assistants, the Star Fleet Master Chief (SFCMC) also comes
under direct authority of the SFCOS. The Star Fleet Master Chief is the senior enlisted
non-commissioned officer within the entire Star Fleet. The function of the SFCMC is to
act as a liaison between the enlisted personnel and the Officer Corps. Any issues relating
to the welfare of the enlisted population will be forwarded to the Director from the
SFCMC. In addition to this function, the SFCMC is in charge of all the enlisted Yeomen
assigned to duty within Star Fleet Command. The SFCMC will handle all administration
and discipline of command yeomen personnel.

The Director will solicit candidates for the position of SFCMC from the commanders of
the Operating Forces. The solicitation is made to the various Fleet Commanders,
Sector Commandants and Base Commanders to select one of their best. The
Director will personally review each candidate’s record and then, select and interview a
few of the candidates he believes will best fit the job. The individual selected is typically

4.4 STAR FLEET COMMAND STAFF

This section deals primarily with those administrative divisions that are part of the Office
of the Director: Star Fleet Command in accordance with Paragraph 1 of Star Fleet
Regulation 2600, and as illustrated in Figure 1a40.1 in Section 4.0. As such, these
divisions primarily deal with the management of the Department of the Star Fleet.
Directors of such divisions generally have the title of Chief, but are titled according to the
size and scope of the division, bureau, office or section they command in accordance with
ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter.
GENERAL SELECTION OF STAFF DIRECTORS
Staff directors generally come from the senior ranks of the division and are selected by the
Flag Officers Review Board within the Star Fleet Division of Personnel. Generally,
directors are selected from a lineal list of flag officers. This list is generated in accordance
with Star Fleet Regulation 5210 and maintained by the Chief of Star Fleet
Personnel. That is, flag officers eligible to become division directors are selected based
upon their position within the list. Flag officers at the top of the list are selected first, but
not necessarily in order of appearance (precedence) within the list.
Selection of a staff director also depends upon the division. Certain divisions correspond to
a Staff Corps and as such, officers within that specialty will primarily be selected to head
the division. In addition, only officers within their Staff Corps will be selected; there is no
selection of officers across specialties. For example, a flag officer of the Medical Corps
may have a higher precedence than a similar flag officer in the Engineering Corps, but a
Medical Corps officer will not be selected to run an engineering division.
As previously stated, the Star Fleet Division of Personnel will select a candidate to
head a division. The Flag Officers Review Board will typically make several selections
and present them to the Director: Star Fleet Command. The Director will review and
choose the candidate. The Director may also interview one or more of the selected
candidates if he so desires. The Director will then inform the Division of Personnel,
through the Star Fleet Chief of Staff, of his approved selection. The Chief of Star
Fleet Personnel will draw-up and sign orders for the selected candidate. The Director
will then make his final signature and the orders will be issued to the candidate.
The only exception to this process is the selection of the Star Fleet Inspector General
(SFIG). This selection is solely within the province of the Director: Star Fleet
Command. As with the Vice Director, it is the privilege of the Director: Star Fleet
Command to select his or her own Inspector General. The only requirement to become
the SFIG is that the officer selected is a senior Star Fleet line officer of flag grade and
eligible to command. Should the current position of SFIG become vacant for some reason,
the Director can choose any eligible senior officer to fill the position, but will typically
select from inside the Office of the Inspector General.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
OFFICE OF A STAFF DIRECTOR
Staff Directors are always flag commanders and as such, are afforded a special “office”
within the Office of the Director. The term “office”, in this context, means a staff as
allowed under Star Fleet Regulation 3810. Included within the office of each Staff
Director a division "Chief of Staff" or "Chief Staff Officer" will be assigned to aid him
or her in the administration of the office. The Chief of Staff also act as the Executive
Officer for the office and as such, is second in command of that office. The primary duty
of the Chief of Staff is to supervise and coordinate the work of the staff assigned to the
Staff Director by the Star Fleet Chief of Staff as required under Star Fleet
Regulation 3820. However, not all Staff Directors may have a Chief Staff Officer,
depending on the nature and size of the office.
Each Staff Director will also have assigned to them several personal aids as allowed
under Star Fleet Regulation 3810: a personal yeoman, a senior enlisted person as
Administrative Assistant to act as secretary to the flag officer, and several non-rated
technicians to care for the Staff Director’s property, to cook meals, etc., and to
chauffeur the officer in his or her personal shuttlecraft.
Physically, the office of a Staff Director will be located at Star Base Central, and as
near as possible to the Director. The order of precedence of the office nearest the
Director is based upon the Star Fleet Chain of Command as illustrated in Figure
1a40.1.
STAFF DIRECTOR’S FLAG
As allowed under ARTICLE 48 of the Star Fleet Charter each Staff Director may display
a personal flag indicating their rank and title. The official flag of a Staff Director is set by
the Office of Fleet Standards within the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards.
The official flag of any Staff Director is a rectangle with the dimensions 132 cm long by
94 cm wide, with the Star Fleet Arrowhead placed prominently in the center of a blue
field with a gold border. To the left of the arrowhead are two vertical stars indicating the
rank of the Staff Director, which will usually be a Rear Admiral. The office title of the
Staff Director will be placed directly and centered over the arrowhead. Persons with the
rank of Commodore will not hold the position of a Staff Director and as such, their flag
will only contain a single white star in the center of the blue field. An example of a Staff
Director’s flag is illustrated below:

4.5 STAR FLEET DIVISION DIRECTORS

The Department of the Star Fleet is organized into Divisions and Bureaus specifically
designed to handle the major functions of the Department as specified in ARTICLE 43 of
the Star Fleet Charter. A Division is a large organization with a somewhat wide scope,
whereas a Bureau is more focused on a specific function. The heads of these Star Fleet
divisions are defined in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation 2600.
Some of the divisions within Star Fleet represent a particular Staff Corps. That is, the
division is primarily focused on a particular function and thus, requires professionals that
specialize in the disciplines and subject areas encompassed by the division. As such, the
commander of such a division will be the senior military officer of that profession, or Staff
Corps, and will be restricted for duty within their area of specialty as Limited Duty
Officers (LDO) as defined in Star Fleet Regulation 5100.
Directors of Star Fleet divisions will generally have the title of Chief, but are titled
according to the size and scope of the division, bureau or section they command in
accordance with ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter.
GENERAL SELECTION OF DIVISION DIRECTORS
Division directors generally come from the senior ranks of the division in which they serve
and are selected by the Flag Officer Review Board within the Star Fleet Division of
Personnel from a lineal list of eligible flag officers. This list is created in accordance with
Star Fleet Regulation 5210 and maintained by the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel.
Flag officers eligible to become division directors are selected based upon their position
within the list. Flag officers at the top of the list are selected first, but not necessarily in
order of appearance (their precedence) within the list.
Selection of a division director also depends upon the division they will command. Certain
divisions constitute a Staff Corps and as such, only those officers within that specialty will
largely be selected to head the division. For example, a flag officer of the Medical Corps
may have a higher precedence than a similar flag officer in the Engineering Corps, but a
Medical Corps officer will not be selected to run an engineering division.
As previously stated, the Star Fleet Division of Personnel will select the candidate to
head a division. Typically, the Flag Officer Review Board will make several selections
and present them to the Director: Star Fleet Command. The Director will review and
choose a candidate. The Director may also interview one or more of the candidates if he
so desires. The Director will then inform the Division of Personnel, through the Star
Fleet Chief of Staff, of his approved selection. The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel will
then draw-up and sign the orders for the selected candidate. The Director will then make
his final signature and the orders will be issued to the candidate.
This process is performed for each division director. However, in the case of the selection
of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel, the process is modified slightly. In this case the
outgoing Chief will draw-up and sign the orders, but if the position is vacant for some
reason, the Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel will perform this function in
lieu of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
OFFICE OF A DIVISION DIRECTOR
Division Directors are high-ranking commanders within the Star Fleet Service and as
such, are afforded a special office. The term “office”, in this context, means a staff as
allowed under Star Fleet Regulation 3810. Included with his or her staff each Division
Director will have a division "Chief of Staff" or "Chief Staff Officer" to aid him or her
in the administration of the division. The Division Chief of Staff acts as the Executive
Officer for the division and as such, is second in command within the division. The chief
duty of the Division Chief of Staff is to supervise and coordinate the work of the staff
assigned to the Division Director as required under Star Fleet Regulation 3820.
In addition, each Division Director will have assigned to them several personal aids as
allowed under Star Fleet Regulation 3810: a personal yeoman, a Flag Lieutenant to
act as secretary to the flag officer, and several non-rated technicians to care for the
Division Director’s property, to cook meals, etc., and to chauffeur the commander in his
or her personal shuttlecraft.
Physically, the office of a Division Director will be located at Star Base Central, and as
near as possible to the Director. The order of precedence of the office nearest the
Director is based upon the Star Fleet Chain of Command as illustrated in Figure
1a40.1.
DIVISION DIRECTOR’S FLAG
As allowed under ARTICLE 48 of the Star Fleet Charter each Division Director may
display a personal flag indicating their rank and title. The official flag of a Division
Director is set by the Office of Fleet Standards within the Star Fleet Bureau of
Standards.
The official flag of any Division Director will be a rectangle with the dimensions 168 cm
long by 94 cm wide. The symbol and title of the division will be placed in the center of a
blue field with a gold border. For Division Directors holding the rank of Admiral, four
white stars shall be displayed at the corners; for Vice Admirals, three stars located in line
from top to bottom on the left-hand side of the field; Rear Admirals, two stars. Persons
with the rank of Commodore will not hold the position of a Division Director and as
such, their flag will only contain a single white star in the center of the blue field. An
example of a Division Director’s flag is illustrated below:

with civilian Federation authorities and other government or civilian officials, as stipulated
in Paragraph 3 of Star Fleet Regulation 2600. Such civilian assistants employed by
Star Fleet Command will come under direct authority of the Star Fleet Chief of Staff
as described in Section 4.3 of this chapter. In this section the duties and functions of the
assistants employed within the Office of the Director: Star Fleet Command will be
described
GENERAL SELECTION OF CIVILIAN ASSISTANTS
As a rule, it is the Military Staff Committee which provides all civilian assistants to the
Director: Star Fleet Command and as such, it is the Military Staff Committee, with
the approval of the Federation Council, which selects and contracts civilian assistants.
The criteria for selection and employment of civilian assistance will be prepared by the
Director: Star Fleet Command. The Director will submit his requirements to the
Military Staff Committee who will in turn implement the selection and hiring process.
THE FEDERATION LIAISON
The Federation Liaison (SFCFL) is the chief advisor regarding military matters to the
Federation civilian authorities. The SFCFL may also attend or be requested to attend a
hearing before the Federation Council concerning matters relating to military operations
executed by Star Fleet. The SFCFL generally acts as a liaison between the military and
civilian authority.
Civilian authorities also include the governments of the member systems of the United
Federation. The SFCFL will periodically travel to member systems to meet with officials
regarding the interaction or relationship between Star Fleet and the system. Any issues or
concerns that may arise during such meetings will be reported back to the Director.
THE STAR FLEET SOLICITOR GENERAL
The Star Fleet Solicitor General (SFCLG) is the primary advocate for Star Fleet in
civilian courts. The SFCLG will represent the interests of Star Fleet in all legal matters
pertaining thereto. The SFCLG will advise the Director on the legality of any regulation,
order or directive as it may apply to Interplanetary Law. The Office of the Solicitor
General also represents the Department of the Star Fleet in civil matters or actions
against the Service, for example in cases of collision between Star Fleet ships and civilian
vessels.
The SFCLG is also the primary advocate for the Department of the Star Fleet in the
Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice. The Office of the Solicitor General will
handle all cases involving a constitutional issue regarding or involving Star Fleet. In
addition, the SFCLG will also advise or inform the Star Fleet Judge Advocate General
(SFJAG) regarding any new laws or policies, and will keep the SFJAG up to date on the
latest legal precedence.

THE STAR FLEET SURGEON GENERAL
The Star Fleet Surgeon General (SFCSG) is the chief advisor to the Director and the
Chief of Star Fleet Medicine regarding medical matters for Star Fleet. The SFCSG is
in constant communications with the various Federation agencies relating to health and
safety, and will interact with the various universities, medical colleges and medical centers
to keep Star Fleet informed on the latest medical research and procedures.
THE STAR FLEET CONSUL GENERAL
The Star Fleet Consul General (SFCCG) is the chief civilian ambassador to the various
Federation and foreign governments, and functions as council to the Chief of Star Fleet
Representatives. SFCCG will typically be a person with extensive knowledge of galactic
affairs, foreign laws and of the treaties or agreements with the Federation.
The SFCCG will also work with Federation ambassadors and diplomatic personnel during
peace negotiations, and may be asked to attend conferences, negotiations or other such
meetings with foreign officials involving Star Fleet Representatives and Star Fleet
Commanders.
THE CHIEF SCIENCE ADVISOR
The Chief Science Advisor (SFCFS) is the principal consultant to the Director vis-à-vis
the scientific and technological advancements that are being made within the Federation.
The function of the SFCFS is to keep the Director and Star Fleet informed of scientific
research that is being conducted throughout the Federation, and to advise the Director
on research that may be of benefit to Star Fleet. In addition, the SFCFS will also act as
advisor to the Chief of Star Fleet Science regarding any planned scientific activity that
Star Fleet may undertake. The SFCFS is someone well known and knowledgeable in the
sciences and will typically come from the academic community.

5.0 STAR FLEET OPERATIONS

In this chapter the functions and operating areas of Star Fleet will be described. In this
context, Star Fleet operations will be defined as the total “Sphere of Influence” of the
Federation and therefore, of Star Fleet, along with how this influence is accomplished.
The first sections will describe Federation space and how it is organized. This will provide
the reader with an understanding of the enormity of the task Star Fleet has in simply
operating within Federation space, much less outside of its boundaries. The remaining
sections will then be devoted to how Star Fleet accomplishes its mission within such a
large volume of space.
Specifically, Section 5.1 describes how Federation space is organized into Octants,
Sectors and Areas, and how the Federation Standard Coordinate System (SCS)
was developed and used.
Section 5.2 deals strictly with the Federation Treaty Zone; how the boundaries were
defined and how the Treaty Zone is divided into Sectors. Section 5.2 will also list and
provide a brief description of all the worlds within the Treaty Zone and that make up the
United Federation of Planets.
Section 5.3 describes, in general terms, the mission and operations of Star Fleet. This
section will discuss how missions are developed and how operational orders are issued. In
addition, the command structure of Star Fleet Operations will also be discussed.
Section 5.4 provides an explanation of the operating forces of Star Fleet. This section will
describe how the forces are organized and distributed throughout Federation territory. In
this section the role of the various ship and base classes will also be briefly discussed.
Section 5.5 will describe the requirements needed to maintain an effective force in order to
carry out the missions of Star Fleet. The requirements discussed include manpower,
equipment and financial resources. This will provide the reader with an understanding of
the immense amount of resources required to sustain the Star Fleet.

5.1 FEDERATION SPACE

As a whole, the United Federation of Planets occupies a very minute portion of the
galaxy known as the Milky Way. This can be illustrated in Figures 1a51.1 and 1a51.2. As
illustrated in these figures Federation space is roughly spherical – though not a perfect
sphere in many areas. What is shown in the figures is the outer sphere or the Federation
Exploration Zone. In addition, Federation space also contains an inner sphere called
the Federation Treaty Zone, which was established when the Articles of Federation
was ratified. This will be discussed further in Section 5.2.
To facilitate in the exploration of the galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy was divided into four
Quadrants known as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Quadrants as illustrated in
Figure 1a51.1, with the first or Alpha Quadrant being where the Federation is located.
The quadrants were arranged such that the Federation territories would be in the center
of the first quadrant, in effect bisecting the quadrant [1]. This arrangement was agreed to
by all the members of the Federation and as such, became the standard used throughout
the Federation.
Currently, the average size of the Exploration Zone is roughly 450 light-years or about
140 parsecs in diameter (where 1 pc = 3.258 ly) [2]. The size of this zone varies depending
on the extent of exploration in the outer regions, as well as boundary encroachment into
other alien territories. This translates into a total volume of space roughly 1.4 million cubic
parsecs. As such, to go from one end of the zone to the other in a straight line would take
about a year using the fastest warp-driven ship in the Star Fleet.
The Exploration Zone itself is essentially made out of cubical volumes or Sectors of
space about 20 light-years on each side. These areas, combined together, form a rough
sphere that is divided into eight (8) Octants used to group the sectors together for fleet
assignment. It should be noted that the octant designation is not a formal standard within
the United Federation and its only purpose is to group the sectors together into logical
units in order to distribute the eight primary fleets of the Operating Forces outside the
Federation Treaty Zone.
The spherical shape of the Exploration Zone boundary is primarily due to the method of
exploring space. During the early years the method of exploring space used by Star Fleet
was to explore space radially outward. That is, since the original Treaty Zone was created
as a spherical volume, it was natural that surveys and explorations from the zone edge
would result in a spherical shape. However, the spherical approach became cumbersome
to identify and maintain, and since this exploration approach was beginning to intrude into
other territories, the decision was made to survey and map the newly explored regions in a
more rectangular fashion. This allowed Star Fleet to focus their exploration efforts toward
the southern and western areas of the Arm of Orion towards the Delta Quadrant.
Adjacent to the Federation, and near the edge of the Orion Arm of the galaxy, are the
territories of the Klingon and Romulan Star Empires. Due to their locations at the rim, the
number of planets available for resources is very limited. This forced these empires to
explore more densely populated areas and encroach into Federation space for valuable
resources, often times causing disputes over territories with the Federation. This is the
primary source of much of the friction between these two empires and the Federation.

FEDERATION STANDARD COORDINATE SYSTEM
In order to standardize the location of an object in space relative to the Federation, the
Federation Council developed the Federation Standard Coordinate System or SCS.
The Federation Standard Coordinate System is based upon the location of the center
of the Federation Treaty Zone relative to the center of the galaxy. A full explanation on
how the SCS was developed can be found in Appendix A of this volume. Figures 1a51.3
and 1a51.4 illustrate how the Federation Standard Coordinate System was created.
The SCS is defined as two intersecting perpendicular planes with the intersection line
passing exactly through both the center of the Federation Treaty Zone and the center
of the galaxy – as best as the exact center of the galaxy can be located – as illustrated in
Figure 1a51.5.
The SCS utilizes a spherical coordinate system as illustrated in Figure 1a51.5. Any object
in space can be located by its Z-Plane angle up to 90 degrees above or below the X-Y
Plane () or its declination angle, by its angle (in degrees from 0 to 360) on the X-Y Plane
() relative to the intersection of the Z and X-Y Planes or its ascension angle, and by its
distance () away from the center of the Treaty Zone or “Zero” point. Basically, the angle
of ascension is measured counter-clockwise from the intersecting plane, while the angle of
declination is measured counter-clockwise from the X-Y plane. The range of declination
angles are from 0o to 90o and from 270o to 360o, which is used to prevent confusion with
using a minus sign. Therefore, there are no negative angles in the SCS. In using this
coordinate system the Federation adopted a method of identifying an object in space
called the “Mark Designation”.

The Mark Designation is a standard way of indicating a direction from the Federation
Treaty Zone. The format for this designation is [ascension]-MARK-[declination],
[distance] or
[]-MARK-[] / []
For example, the center of the galaxy is located at 0-MARK-0, approximately 30,000
light-years from the center of the Treaty Zone or 0-MARK-0/0. In this example the
distance is measured in light-years (ly), but parsecs (pc) can be used as well. Another
example would be the direction of the Romulan home star of Beta Romii, known as Delta
Andromedae on Earth, which is 112-MARK-025[3].
The above examples of the Mark Designation are for bodies in space that generally have
fixed positions. This is known as the Absolute Coordinate System (ACS) – the absolute
location relative to the center of the Federation Treaty Zone. However, for spacecraft
there is a coordinate system relative to the direction of travel. This coordinate system also
utilizes this designation as well. The diagram in Figure 1a51.6 illustrates the Relative
Coordinate System (RCS) for a typical Star Fleet ship. For example, an object thirty
degrees to Port of a ship and on the same plane of travel as the ship would be identified
as being at 330-MARK-0 Relative. Note that the planar coordinate system of the ship is
opposite to that of the ACS. This system dates back to the early seafaring vessels of Earth
and was adopted to continue this custom. However, where the order is given to proceed to
some area in space, the ACS designation will be used. This will be explained in more detail
in Volumes II and IV. Suffice it to say, the Federation Absolute Coordinate System is
programmed into the Ships Inertial Navigational System or SINS aboard every ship
licensed and registered within the United Federation.

FEDERATION SECTORS AND AREAS
As previously stated, the boundary of Federation space was originally conceived as a

sphere and indeed exploration was performed in a spherical manner. However, as the
Federation expanded its boundaries it became obvious that the spherical approach was
no longer feasible. So the sector approach was introduced, which was based upon a fixed
cubic block of space in which the galaxy is divided, known as the Galactic Grid, starting
from Star Base Central, as the central point of origin, and spiraling outward. The central
sphere or Treaty Zone remained as spherical sector volumes, but the outer volumes of
Federation space became cubic “blocks of space”, an example of which is illustrated in
Figure 1a51.8.
In the Federation system a Sector is defined as a fixed cubic volume of space twenty
light-years on each side and occupying a volume of space of approximately 8000 cubic
light-years or about 231 cubic parsecs. Although a sector is described here as a right cube,
in actuality a sector is somewhat curved in order to conform to the general spherical shape
of Federation territory as illustrated in Figure 1a51.7. Still, the average distance across
any side of a sector is about twenty light-years.
In general, sectors are identified and labeled with a numeric designation, increasing in
value the farther it is from Sector 001. The numbering scheme is based upon the ring in
which the sector is contained. A ring is defined as the outer radius of a sphere in 20 light-
year increments away from the center. Ring 0 is the outer edge of the Treaty Zone or
21.6 light-years from the center of the Federation, Ring 1 would be 40 light-years from
the center, etc. Currently, there are 11 Rings and 5570 sectors that make up the entire
Federation Exploration Zone.
Sectors are usually planned and identified before any Star Fleet ship has entered the
area. Typically, this is done if an adjacent sector has been explored. However, a sector is
not considered Federation territory at this point. That is, a sector can only become
Federation territory when 50% or more of its volume has been explored and mapped,
and where a claim has not been submitted by some other system or government. Should
another power be encountered in the block and claims jurisdiction, agreements will be
drawn up regarding the boundaries, and a Neutral or Buffer Zone may be established.
Sectors are further broken into cubic Areas. Each side of a cubic area is about two parsecs
or about 6.67 light-years, which corresponds to about 1/27 the volume of the sector. That
is, there are 27 areas to a sector as illustrated in Figure 1a51.9. Areas are identified by an
alphabetic designation (A to Z), with the central cube being designated as dash zero (-0)
signifying the central point of the sector. Therefore, the center of, for example, Sector 39
would be labeled 39-0, while an outer area may be designated as 39J. This particular
labeling standard, which was established by the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation
Space Navigation, states that the center area closest to the center of the Federation is
labeled “A”, while the central area farthest from the center is labeled “Z”. This naming
standard is also illustrated in Figure 1a51.10. The large letters indicate the area shown,
while the smaller letters in parentheses indicate the area opposite to the one shown [4].
Finally, as stated earlier, sectors are grouped together and fit into one of the eight octants
dividing the Federation Exploration Zone. It should be noted that this grouping only
was possible within the current spherical boundaries of the Exploration Zone. The newer
sectors explored utilizing the rectangular method cannot be easily placed in any of the
eight octants.

FEDERATION BUFFER AND NEUTRAL ZONES
Federation space contains many volumes or areas of space where travel is restricted,
limited or regulated. These areas are called interdiction or Buffer Zones. A Buffer Zone
is an enveloping thickness of space used to enclose or separate a designated volume of
space. That is, a Buffer Zone is actually the border surrounding a designated area or
volume of space, and is not the enclosed space itself. The enclosure can be a sphere, a
cube, a simple plane or any arbitrary shape whose border thickness is the Buffer Zone.
A Standard Buffer Zone is defined as a plane of space whose thickness is based on

traversing the distance in 30 minutes at 99% the speed of light or about 3.5 astronomical
units or AU. This implies that ships cannot enter or travel within a Buffer Zone at speeds
greater than the speed of light and as such, is a Federation regulation enforced by Star
Fleet.
The function for such Buffer Zones is to restrict access to and from a volume of space for
the purpose of isolation or separation. In general, there are essentially three functions for
Buffer Zones: Political or Military, Social and Commercial, the purpose of which will be
described below:
A. Political or Military – designed to isolate or surround an enemy or belligerent of the

Federation who’s claimed territory exists within, or infringes upon Federation
territory. These types of zones are called Neutral Zones since the intervening area of
space separating the disputed areas is considered neutral territory by agreement or
treaty. Both parties must mutually establish and agree upon the rules regarding such
Neutral Zones. Typically, one such rule is that no spacecraft from either side will be
allowed to enter the zone for any reason, the violation of which would be considered as
an act of provocation and a violation of the treaty establishing the zone.
B. Social – designed to protect or isolate the system within the zone from contact with
outside peoples, cultures or technology. Social Buffer Zones typically enclose an
entire solar system and will usually be established by the Federation Council under
the Interplanetary Trusteeship System in accordance with ARTICLE 73 and
Chapter XII of the Articles of Federation. As such, no private or commercial vessel is
allowed to enter such zones without authorization from the Federation Council. The
primary purpose of this zone is to prevent contamination of a maturing social system by
outside influences. The violation of such zones will incur severe penalties.
C. Commercial – designed as a punitive measure to isolate a planetary system from
interstellar trade and contact. These are set up because the conduct of the culture is
usually predatory towards the other worlds within the Federation. The Federation
Council, under ARTICLE 41 of the Articles of Federation, typically establishes these
zones when there is a failure on the part of a hostile world to comply with Federation
law or principles, or if a world within Federation space is completely hostile to the
Federation and its members.
To ensure compliance with the designated restrictions marker or signal buoys are placed
around the outer edge of the zone. These buoys mark the location of the zone and warn
approaching vessels with signals and beacons indicating the type and purpose for the
zone. Should a vessel ignore such signals and enter a Buffer Zone, the buoy will send a
subspace message to the nearest Starbase and a Starship will be dispatched to the
area.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Buffer Zones are also classified by type. A zone type is defined as the level of access
allowed into or within a zone. There are three such levels of access:
A. Restricted – Access into the zone is restricted to Star Fleet vessels only. No private,
commercial or other vessel or person will be allowed within the zone. Usually, all Social
zones are Restricted Zones.
B. Limited – Access into the zone is granted to private and commercial vessels by Star
Fleet with specific limitations on the purpose for entering such zones. In addition, Star
Fleet may impose other limitations regarding operation within a zone such as the
limitation on the speed of vessels entering or maneuvering within such zones.
C. Regulated – Access is regulated by Star Fleet. Such Regulated Zones typically
surround travel routes or flight paths through Federation space. Generally speaking,
Star Fleet is authorized to impose regulations regarding the type of vessels that can
access certain flight corridors.
Neutral Zones are a special form of Buffer Zone used to separate Federation space
from hostile territories and as such, are generally located at the periphery of Federation
space, whereas Standard Buffer Zones are normally established within Federation
space. Aside from monitor buoys Star Fleet will also assign and establish outposts along
the edge of a Neutral Zone to ensure compliance with the treaties and agreements that
established the zone.
In addition, Neutral Zones are typically wider than Standard Buffer Zones. Where the
Standard Buffer Zone is defined as 3.5 AU in thickness, Neutral Zones may be as thick
as 1 light-year. The thickness of the intervening space is usually negotiated through treaty
or agreement. One such example is the Romulan Neutral Zone, which was physically
established in 2163 by the Treaty of Algeron after the Romulan War of 2132. The treaty,
negotiated entirely by subspace radio, stipulated the creation of the zone, and that any
violation of the zone would constitute an act of war. Any entry into the zone by either side
would be a violation of the treaty. The original width of the Romulan Neutral Zone was
established at 15 AU to allow ample time (about 2 hours) to react to a violation. However,
this value was established at a time when vessels could only travel near the speed of light.
When the Romulans purchased warp-driven Klingon ships in 2268, the Romulan Neutral
Zone was widened to 3000 AU.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
FEDERATION SPACE EXPLORATION
At the present time about 68% of the Exploration Zone has been fully explored and
mapped, while 32% of the territories have not yet been fully explored. Approximately 40%
of the total volume of the Exploration Zone or 59% of the explored regions contain
systems that are members of the United Federation. These systems have entered into
agreements with the original signatories under ARTICLE 4 of the Articles of Federation
and are now members of the Supreme Assembly.
About 16% of the total volume of the Exploration Zone, or 24% of the explored regions,
contain systems that are not members of the United Federation. These systems either
do not wish to join or are systems that the Supreme Assembly has voted not to accept
as members for one reason or another.
In addition, about 12% of the total volume of the Exploration Zone, or about 18% of
the total explored space, contains systems that come under the provisions of Chapter XII
of the Articles of Federation and are called Trust Regions. These systems are not
members of the United Federation and generally contain worlds where the inhabitants
have not developed to the point where they can self-govern. Many of these worlds contain
primitive cultures and must be protected from external contamination and therefore, the
Supreme Assembly has assigned a member system to become the Trustee of that
world, system or region of space who will administer the region with the view of protecting
the system from external interference. However, the physical protection of the system will
usually fall upon Star Fleet.
Although Federation space is a conceptualized sphere divided into sectors, some of the
unexplored sectors of Federation space belong to belligerents. That is, some of the
enemies of the Federation have their boundaries within this sphere. For example, the
Romulan Star Empire has part of their space deep within the Exploration Zone.

5.2 FEDERATION TREATY ZONE

The Federation Treaty Zone is roughly a spherical volume of space approximately 41.6
light-years or about 12.8 parsecs in diameter. Within this volume contains the planets and
star systems of the original five signatory worlds to the Articles of Federation, and the
reason why this volume of space is called the Treaty Zone. The boundary of this space
was derived by mapping the stars of the signatory worlds and calculating an encompassing
globe around a select group of star systems within this conceptual volume. The result was
a virtual sphere with a radius of approximately 21 light-years and a volume of about 1086
cubic parsecs. With the conceptual sphere established, the exact center of this volume was
determined to be about 2.1 light-years away from Earth at 0.1 hour right ascension and
negative 14.1 degrees declination (00591s14590) as would be observed from Earth. As
such, this point defined the center of the Treaty Zone and established the point of origin
for the Federation Standard Coordinate System (SCS) as described in Section 5.1.
The stars used to define the Treaty Zone are shown in the table below. The distances
shown are based upon the established center of the Treaty Zone – the distance from the
SCS point of origin.

At the very center of the Federation Treaty Zone is Star Base Central, the principal
headquarters for Star Fleet Command, which was built in accordance with ARTICLE 67
of the Star Fleet Charter. All command directives and operations come from this central
location. In addition, and dotted throughout the Treaty Zone are various Starbases and
Star Fleet space stations orbiting the various worlds of the Federation that support the
Star Fleet.
The Treaty Zone itself is patrolled by 34 Star Fleet combatants, along with 16 fleet
support vessels, which comprise the two flotillas assigned to the region as stipulated in
ARTICLE 63 of the Charter. Their primary function is to maintain interplanetary law and
order among the signatory worlds of the Federation. These flotillas will routinely check
private and commercial space traffic to ensure that vessels are properly registered. This
will be explained in more detail in Section 5.4. Overall, the Treaty Zone is sized such that
a modern warp-driven Starship can traverse the Treaty Zone in about twelve days at
standard speeds. However, under emergency conditions, a Starship can traverse the zone
in about two days traveling at maximum Warp.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
TREATY ZONE SECTORS
As with the Exploration Zone, the Treaty Zone is divided into nine spherical sectors as
illustrated in Figure 1a52.2. At the very center is Sector 001, a small virtual sphere about
8 light-years in diameter, with a volume of about eight cubic parsecs that encompasses the
SOL-Earth system and Star Base Central. The other eight sectors envelop Sector 001
and have a volume of about 152 cubic parsecs each.
To monitor the space within the volume, each sector will contain at least one Starbase
(called the Sector Base) from which the management of the Star Fleet forces within the
sector will be executed. Typically, these bases contain the headquarters of the Squadron
Commander of the ships within the flotilla assigned to that sector, which will be handled
in more detail in Section 5.4. However, in the case of Sector 001, the Sector Base will
be Star Base Central, and unlike the octants that separate the Exploration Zone, the
Treaty Zone will have only one Sector Commandant titled Commander: Federation
Treaty Zone (COMSEC0), who will be headquartered at Star Base Central. In addition
to the COMSEC0, the commanders of the two flotillas (COMFLOT9 and COMFLOT10)
will also be headquartered at Star Base Central.
TREATY ZONE EXPLORATION
In terms of space ownership, the Treaty Zone is essentially 94% explored, with 89% of
the systems within it being a part of the United Federation of Planets. However, there
are two worlds that decided not to join the Federation and one world that came under
the Trust provisions of the Articles of Federation: Altair VI. Placing this world under
Trust allowed it to recuperate from a devastating interplanetary war.

SOL: EARTH-MARS
The SOL system centers about a moderately sized yellow-orange, main sequence dwarf
star of the G2 V spectral class. Orbiting this sun are nine planets as illustrated in Figure
1a52.5, which is commonly identified as Chart 14A.
Earth (often referred to as Terra) is the third planet in the SOL system, and is the fifth
largest. It is also the densest planet in the system and has only one natural satellite. The
combination of the atmospheric and environmental conditions of this planet, plus the large
variation of life forms, has established the planet Earth as one of the primary standards for
planetary classification. The “M” classification is based upon the environmental parameters
of this planet.
The planet Earth is populated by homo-sapiens of mixed races. It is one of the few planets
in the galaxy where the dominant species evolved in many differing forms, unlike most
other worlds which usually have only a single race of the dominant species.
Mars is the fourth planet and is essentially a colony of Earth. The planet was first explored
in 2030 with the first manned mission to Mars by the peoples of Earth. By 2059 the first
colony was established and since then there have been five major colonies established on
that planet corresponding to the major political powers at the time. In 2068 the colonies of
Mars consolidated into a single sovereign commonwealth and declared their independence
from Earth. However, in terms of system defense, Mars joined with Earth in 2084 to form a
single force for the security of the solar system known as the United Earth Space Probe
Agency or UESPA. This agency was eventually merged into the Star Fleet of today.

RIGEL KENTAURUS: ALPHA III, CENTAURI VII
Rigel Kentaurus or Alpha Centauri is a triple star system. The system consists of two main
sequence stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, and a dimmer red dwarf named
Proxima Centauri. The larger member of the binary system, Alpha Centauri A, is a yellow-
white star of spectral class G2 V, but a little larger and brighter than the star in the SOL
system. The other star, Alpha Centauri B is a yellow-orange star of spectral class K1 V and
is a somewhat smaller and dimmer than its partner. The two orbit one another elliptically
and approach as close as 11.2 AU and as far as 35.6 AU with a period of just under 80
years.
The primary star contains four planets and a comet that has essentially a fixed orbit within
the system as illustrated in Figure 1a52.6. The system also contains a large debris field
that once contained several planets, but is now rubble. The only habitable planets in the
system are Alpha III (Alpha Centauri-A III) and Centauri VII (Alpha Centauri-B 2).
Alpha III is the third planet in the Alpha Centauri-A system and is basically an Earth colony
that was settled in 2098. The colonists at that time voted on adopting a republican form of
constitutional government similar to that of the United States of America on Earth, but
with some minor enhancements. As such, they created what has now become the Statutes
of Alpha III, which are used as a model for individual civil liberties unto this day.
The other habitable planet is Centauri VII, colonized in 2103 and located in orbit around
Alpha Centauri B. Centauri VII is a moderately-sized planet with lush gardens, many of the
plants of which were transplanted from Earth. There is very little industry on this planet
and is usually a place of retirement and leisure.

PROXIMA CENTAURI: ALPHA PROXIMA II
The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is about 13,000 AU away from Alpha Centauri or about
0.21 light-years. For this reason Proxima is sometimes referred to as Alpha Centauri C. The
system only has two planets with only one where a colony could be established and that is
Alpha Proxima II. Alpha Proxima I, on the other hand, is too close to Proxima Centauri to
allow any form of colony to be established.
Alpha Proxima II is not a planet that can support life on its own and is very similar to Mars.
It is essentially a mining colony containing pressurized structures dotting the surface and
subterranean sections of the planet. As with the other planets of the Alpha Centauri
system, the miners on Alpha Proxima II are of Earth origin. The Alpha Proxima II Colonies
are actually a group of many individual mining enterprises dotting the equatorial belt of
the planet.
Each enterprise must handle its own life support and water extraction and reclamation.
Water is scarce on this planet and is usually generated by the dissociation of carbon
dioxide and the burning of hydrogen. Food is grown in subterranean hydroponic gardens
at each of the regional enterprises.

UV CETI: VULCAN[5]
As seen in Figure 1a52.7 Vulcan is a unique phenomenon since it is a single planet

sandwiched between two red dwarfs of the UV Ceti or L726 system, which is quite rare.
The planet Vulcan is relatively close to the primary star at about 0.04 AU from the main
sequence star Luyten 726-8A, which accounts for the somewhat hot and harsh
environment on the planet. In addition, the primary star is considered a “flare” star with a
rapid and unpredictable period. This resulted in some unusual evolutionary biological
characteristics unique to Vulcans such as the inner eyelid. The planet itself is of class M
and is somewhat larger than Earth with a planetary mass 35% greater than that of Earth.
The atmosphere is quite thin. This accounts for the unique ears of the Vulcans, which
allows them to hear sound in such a thin atmosphere.
Vulcans were the first to contact the peoples of Earth, which occurred in 2084. According
to Vulcan accounts, they were receiving unusual electromagnetic transmissions from the
direction of Earth and were interested in investigating the possibility of life in another
planetary system. They built a spaceship specifically designed for this mission. The ship
was equipped with an advanced ion drive system, which allowed them to reach speeds
nearing that of light. Although approximately 8.73 light-years from Earth, it took the
Vulcans about 1.75 years to reach Earth. This required a constant acceleration about 4 g’s
(Earth) and to accomplish this, the Vulcan scientists and crewmembers were placed in a
state of hibernation within a liquid suspension in order to withstand the effects of such
acceleration.

EPSILON ERIDANI: RIGEL II
Epsilon Eridani is a fourth magnitude class K2 dwarf star located in the constellation
Eridanus approximately 8.4 light-years away from the center of the Federation.
Epsilon Eridani contains three planets within the system, all called Rigel by the explorers
from RIGEL KENT, Alpha Centauri, who surveyed this region. The largest planet in the
system, Rigel III, with a mass of 1.55 times that of Jupiter, has an average orbital radius
of 3.39 AU and takes 6.85 years to make an orbit. However, unlike Jupiter, the planet is in
a highly eccentric orbit that takes it from as far as 5.8 AU from the star to as close as 1.1
AU as shown in Figure 1a52.8. The only habitable planet in the system is Rigel II.
Rigel II is the only habitable planet within this system. It was the first planet to be
surveyed and colonized by the Alpha Centauri mission, which began in 2122 and took
about three and a half years to reach the Eridanus systems. The Rigel expedition, as it
became known, was essentially a small fleet of four ships containing a combination of both
humans and Vulcans. Rigel II became the first of the Rigel Colonies in 2126, which became
an independent entity in 2130. At that time the total population had reached 225,000.
From 2130 onward, the denizens of Rigel II became formally known as Rigellians.
Rigellians are basically a mixed-breed race of humans and Vulcans. As such, Rigellians
have features of both humans and Vulcans. The average height of a Rigellian is about 1.93
meters. The mixing of the two races was not uncommon during this period of Federation
history. It was only later when the movement to keep the Vulcan race pure was initiated
that there was a split between the Rigellian and Vulcan races.

40 ERIDANI A: RIGEL IV, RIGEL V, RIGEL VII
40 Eridani, also known as Keid or Omicron-2, is a triple star system in the constellation
Eridanus. 40 Eridani A is an ordinary dwarf of spectral class K1 with a surface temperature
of 5100oK. 40 Eridani B, also known as Beid, is a white dwarf somewhat larger than A, has
a mass that is about half that of Sol and is about 400 AU distant from A. Beid also has a
companion star – 40 Eridani C, a red dwarf of spectral class M4. The two orbit with a
period of approximately 252 years. The distance between the pair varies from 21 AU to 49
AU. The two systems can be seen in Figure 1a52.9.
The 40 Eridani A system has five planets, all of which are called Rigel since they were
named by the explorers from RIGEL KENT or Alpha Centauri. As such, they are collectively
known as the Rigel Colonies. Although the original explorers of the Rigel planets were
essentially humans, other races also immigrated to the colonies. Interbreeding over the
years resulted in a new race that is generically called Rigellian.

40 ERIDANI B: RIGEL XII
40 Eridani B, also known as Beid, is part of the 40 Eridani triple star system as stated in
the previous section. The system only contains two planets; and only one of them is of the
barest minimum of habitability – Rigel XII. It should be noted that the numbering system
for the Rigel Colonies is sequential and is based upon when it was discovered by the initial
survey team.
The planet Rigel XII is a rocky, sandy planet racked by fierce electrical and magnetic
storms due to the orbital influence of the red dwarf Eridani C, which is prone to flares. The
average temperature of the planet can range anywhere between -2oC to 55oC making it
quite inhospitable, but livable with the proper environmental structures. Surface water is
virtually nonexistent, but available in underground tributaries some 50 meters below the
surface.
The three entrepreneurs (Lithium Wildcatters), Benjamin Childress, Herman Gossett and
Louis Benton who populate the planet all originated from Earth and formed the CGB Mining
Corporation on Alpha III in 2254. After a couple of mining failures on Alpha Proxima II, the
company applied for the exclusive rights to mine Rigel XII from the central authority on
Rigel IV in 2258. In 2260 the miners found a rich deposit of Dilithium crystals on the
planet and registered their claim with the Rigellian authorities, and within a few years
became the sole possessors of the planet.

61 CYGNI: TELLAR
61 Cygni, sometimes called Bessel's Star, contains two stars: 61 Cygni A and B. 61 Cygni A
is an orange-red main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type K3.5-5.0 Ve. It
has about 70 percent of Sol's mass, 72 percent of its diameter, and about 8.5 percent of
its luminosity.
The 61 Cygni A system has three planets: Tellar, Soksul and Tokair. Among the three only
Tellar was able to produce life on its own. The planet Tellar is relatively close to the star at
0.39 AU from 61 Cygni A as shown in Figure 1a52.10. This distance is equivalent to
Mercury’s distance to Sol, and has an orbital period of 106 days. Tellar is a class M planet.
It is a medium temperate world, somewhat cooler and darker than Earth with 53% of its
surface being water, and a gravity of 1.25 g. The population is actually around 2 million
people. The planet circumference is about 26.700 Km.
Tellar is the home planet of Tellarites, called Miracht in the Tellarian language. Tellarites
are around 1.5 meters tall with a snout, deep-set eyes, and thick fur for warmth. Distinctly
porcine semi-humanoids, they are one of the founding races of the Federation. Tellarites
are major contributors in the fields of metallurgy and structural engineering, and are well
known for being among the best architects, propulsion experts and shipwrights within the
Federation. Tellarites have a natural predisposition for belligerency and have raised
debate and oration to a new level or art.
61 Cygni B (HR8086) is an orange-red main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity
type K4.7-7.0 Ve. This star has about 63 percent of Sol's mass, 67 percent of its diameter,
and about 3.9 percent of its luminosity. The dust around this star provides an indication
that a stellar disaster had occurred within this system sometime in the past.
The only habitable planet around this star is Matar and is located around 0.34 AU from 61
Cygni B. The planet is currently uninhabited, except for some small Tellarite scientific
expeditions. As with Tellar, the orbit of this planet places it at a distance equivalent to
about half of Mercury's orbital distance from Sol. At that distance from the star, such a
planet would have an orbital period of about 91 days - just over three months on Earth.

82 percent of Sol's mass, around 77 percent its diameter, but with only 59 percent of its
luminosity. The star is encircled by a massive dust and rubble cloud suggesting that one or
more large planetary bodies once existed, but were destroyed by some cosmic cataclysm.
An illustration of this rubble cloud is shown in Figure 1a52.11.
The Tau Ceti system contains four planets, with only one being habitable. Tau Ceti III is a
class M planet similar to Earth, but with significantly more water covering its surface. The
planet was originally discovered and colonized by Vulcans. The colony was essentially a
scientific outpost. Later, Earth expeditions, with the approval of the Vulcan government, to
the planet developed into colonies and commercial enterprises.
Entrance into the system can be difficult due to the large dust and asteroid belt orbiting
the star. Extreme caution must be observed when attempting to enter the orbit of Tau Ceti
III. Star Fleet NAVOPS regulations state that no ship can near the planet within 0.25 AU
of the system at speeds greater that one million kph. This generally requires a
maneuvering watch of about 38 hours.

EPSILON INDII: ANDOR
Epsilon Indi is an orange-red main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type K4-
5 Ve and has about 77 percent of Sol’s mass. Around it, at an average distance of 1456
AU, orbits the nearest known T-class brown dwarf. This brown dwarf, Epsilon Indi Ba, has
a mass of 40 to 60 times the mass of Jupiter and a surface temperature of about 1,260 oK.
In addition, Epsilon Indi Ba has an orbital companion of its own – a cooler, fainter brown
dwarf known as Epsilon Indi Bb. The projected separation between Epsilon Indi Ba and
Epsilon Indi Bb is approximately 2.2 AU.
As shown in Figure 1a52.12 the Epsilon Indi system contains a total of four planets, with
the only habitable planets being Epsilon Indi II and III. Epsilon Indi II or Andor is the only
planet in this system that was capable of developing life. However, life took a different
direction and followed a different evolutionary path than with other humanoids. Where
most humanoids are based on animal physiology, the Andorians evolved from a form of
insect life. This accounts for their antennae-like sensing organs.
The Andorians are blue-skinned and humanoid in appearance, and along with humans and
the Vulcans, were founders of the Federation. Humans had their first contact with the
Andorians in 2109. At that time, the Andorians were still living in a feudal society, with
appropriate technology. The Andorians on Rigel at the time were part of a trading mission
organized by the Rigellians. In 2127, the Confederation of Planets was organized and
Andor (Epsilon Indi II) became a charter member. The Council of Nobles still exists in a
modified form, and is still lead by a leader elected from and by the Council, but now the
nobles are elected by all the people in a district, and districts are now apportioned on a
population basis, rather than strictly along the old clan boundaries.
Coming from a moderately low gravity world noted for its rocky ranges, Andorians have a
wiry strength that surpasses that of humans and approaches that of Vulcans. Evolving
under an orange dwarf seems to have resulted in vision that is slightly poorer than
humans' in acuity, although the Andorian eye is sensitive to a wider range of frequencies,
starting in the near infrared. Although native to Epsilon Indi II, they have since colonized
Epsilon Indi III.

70 OPHIUCHI: OPHIUCUS III
70 Ophiuchi is a binary star system (Figure 1a52.13) within the constellation Ophiuchus,
approximately 17.6 light-years from the center of the Treaty Zone. The primary star, 70
Ophiuchi A, is an orange main sequence dwarf of spectral class K1, while its twin star, 70
Ophiuchi B, is an orange main sequence dwarf of spectral class K5. The true orbit has a
periastron distance (distance of closest approach) of 11.7 AU and an apastron distance
(when they are farthest apart) of 35.0 AU. The orbital period is 88.3 years with an
uncertainty of about 6 months. To give a sense of the scale of the system, this period
corresponds to the B star orbiting the A star in an orbit within the SOL system, and would
go from just outside the orbit of Saturn to between the orbits or Neptune and Pluto.
The only habitable planet within this system is Ophiuchus III, a class M planet orbiting 70
Ophiuchi A with a colony of settlers from Proxima Centauri.

5.3 GENERAL FLEET OPERATIONS

In this section the general operations of Star Fleet will be discussed – specifically, the
Operating Forces of Star Fleet. Primarily all the operations assigned to Star Fleet
forces can be categorized into the three basic missions of Star Fleet:
1. To protect the peace and security of the United Federation of Planets, and to
provide aid and assistance to all its members.
2. To enforce Federation laws, regulate shipping and space travel, and to establish the
rules of safe navigation within the Federation territories.
3. To perform basic research in the physical and life sciences, survey known and
unknown areas of space, and expand the boundaries of Federation space through
exploration and colonization.
These three basic missions form the basis for all the operational assignments given to the
Operating Forces. Generally speaking, these three basic missions can be categorized into
three specific mission types:
a. Military missions,
b. Scientific and Exploration missions, and
c. Diplomatic and Humanitarian missions.
These three basic missions will be codified into the policies or “General Orders” that are
binding to all persons within the Star Fleet Service, and which will be discussed in more
detail in the subsection entitled STAR FLEET COMMAND ORDERS AND DIRECTIVES.
MILITARY OPERATIONS
The primary function of Star Fleet is to protect the Federation, its properties, planets
and all its peoples as required under ARTICLE 48 of the Articles of Federation. To most
effectively carry out this mission, Star Fleet maintains a large fleet of warships and other
armed vessels. The Articles of Federation was written with the requirement that heavily
armed "Starships" be constructed for the maintenance of peace and security. Specifically,
ARTICLE 74 of the Charter directs Star Fleet to design and build these powerful warships.
Military operations are generally carried-out at the outer boundaries of Federation space,
especially where there may be hostile forces in the area. In these areas Star Fleet stands
guard, usually with its heavy capital ships, ready to repel any invasion or incursion into
Federation space. The majority of the operations around these areas will be maneuvers
designed to confuse hostile forces, but positioned such that the combatants can quickly
react to any incursion. Typically, these maneuvers are performed near Neutral Zones.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Another part of Star Fleet’s military mission is to protect Federation trade, as required
under ARTICLE 3 of the Star Fleet Charter. To accomplish this mission, Star Fleet
Operations will assign light escort vessels to patrol commercial trade routes. Their prime
function will be to protect the commercial vessels from pirates and other activities that
may disrupt the flow of commerce. As such, Star Fleet is given authority to use force, if
necessary, to stop or prevent piracy in open space as part of its military function. Also,
commercial enterprises may request escort protection if they can demonstrate that their
vessels are in certain danger of being attacked, or request that they be escorted through
unknown space where a history of attack has been documented. However, such requests
must be made to the Federation Council for approval.
In addition to its military function, Star Fleet has the responsibility of enforcing law and
order within the territories of the Federation and therefore, functions as a form of police
force, monitoring and patrolling space for compliance with Federation laws and to ensure
the safety of vessels within its boundaries. However, Star Fleet will not specifically assign
vessels or forces to exclusively perform law enforcement duties, but is simply a part of the
normal military duties executed by Star Fleet forces.
Non-military vessels, private and commercial, account for 80% of the traffic within the
Federation, the bulk of which takes place primarily in and around the Treaty Zone, as
illustrated in the diagram below. Therefore, as part of its law-enforcement function, Star
Fleet will monitor and regulate the flow of space traffic within these areas.

The area to the left of the vertical line represents the Federation Treaty Zone. As can
be seen from this chart, the volume of space in and around this zone indicates the highest
amount of ship traffic. The total number of Star Fleet ships within this area corresponds
to the size of the two flotillas assigned to patrol this volume of Federation space.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SCIENTIFIC MISSIONS
Star Fleet is also the principal scientific and research agency for the Federation as
stipulated in ARTICLE 5 of the Star Fleet Charter. As such, all Star Fleet commands will
have standing orders to investigate any phenomenon they may encounter. This applies to
all operational commands except those within the Star Fleet Marine Corps.
Aside from such standing orders, Star Fleet Command may also assign specific scientific
missions to the Operating Forces as well. However, Star Fleet has special scientific and
laboratory vessels to perform this function, as well as the scientific personnel required to
engage in such missions. As such, Star Fleet has 11 such vessels specifically designed to
perform scientific study within Federation and unknown space. The missions, tasks and
assignments of these vessels are initiated by the Star Fleet Office of Space Research
(OSR) within the Star Fleet Science division. However, it is Star Fleet Operations that
has complete authority over the scientific vessels within the Star Fleet.
In addition to special science vessels, most of the capital ships within Star Fleet will be
equipped with their own scientific and laboratory facilities. As with the science vessels, the
Office of Space Research will coordinate with Star Fleet Operations regarding the
assignment of scientific missions to Star Fleet ships and their crews.
EXPLORATION MISSIONS
In addition to scientific research Star Fleet is also the chief exploration and colonization
agency for the Federation as stipulated in ARTICLE 6 of the Star Fleet Charter. Hence,
exploration missions will be assigned to the Operating Forces for the purposes of:
a. Galactic surveying and mapping,

b. Expanding Federation boundaries,
c. Establishing Federation colonies,
d. Establishing trade and commerce centers,
e. Finding new sources of resources, and
f. To seek-out new civilizations for membership.
To accomplish this goal, Star Fleet has specific vessels designed to perform this function,
as well as the personnel and infrastructure to manage these missions. As such, Star Fleet
contains 14 survey vessels specifically tasked to survey, map and explore Federation and
unknown space. The organization which is responsible for managing these missions is the
Star Fleet Space Exploration Command, a subdivision within Star Fleet Operations
tasked with initiating the missions, tasks and assignments of these vessels. It is the Star
Fleet Space Exploration Command that has complete authority over the survey class
of vessels within Star Fleet, and will generally plan the survey and exploration missions
based upon the direction and information from the following organizations:
1. The Star Fleet Office of Strategic Planning,

2. The Star Fleet Office of Space Surveys, and
3. Star Fleet Intelligence.
However, regardless of any specific mission, the fleet has standing orders to explore and
map the areas of space they are currently assigned when not actively engaged in a specific
mission. This is part of the multiple roles that Star Fleet ships perform.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
OTHER OPERATIONS
Other missions include intelligence gathering, humanitarian aid and logistical support for
the various colonies, expeditions and outposts within Federation space. As specified in
ARTICLE 8 of the Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet is the primary agency for the collection
of military and other forms of intelligence for the Federation. These types of missions are
highly classified and will not be discussed in this document.
As specified in ARTICLE 9 of the Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet is the primary agency for
the logistical support of all Federation colonies, outposts and expeditions. In addition to
logistical support, Star Fleet has the added responsibility of providing humanitarian and
any other assistance when disasters occur to any Federation system or entity.
DIVISION OF OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
As stated in Section 5.1, the Federation Exploration Zone is divided into eight spherical
octants, as illustrated in Figure 1a53.1. The planes separating the regions were established
such that they would be in precise alignment with the sectors dividing the Treaty Zone,
and were developed in order to divide operational responsibility within the Exploration
Zone into manageable regions.
Each of the eight octants is commanded by a Sector Commandant, as specified in Star

Fleet Regulation 3400, who has complete authority over all the forces within the octant
and who reports only to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations. The Sector Commandant
is the most senior officer in that octant and has precedence over all the base and station
commanders, over all troops and Fleet Marine forces as well as the commander of any
fleet assigned to that sector. He also has precedence over any Local Force Commander
located within the octant that is outside the boundaries of the local system, but does not
have authority over any member Local Force as they operate within the boundaries of
their system. The office of the Sector Commandant will always be located at the Sector
Base for that octant, the selection of which will be fully up to the Sector Commandant.
The Sector Commandant will be an officer of the line with the rank of Admiral and will
have the title of Commandant: Federation Sector <n> or COMSEC<n>, where the
number <n> corresponds to the octant number. The title Sector Commandant is used
because this officer is in command of all the sectors within his or her octant, and since the
term octant is not an official standard, the term Sector is used instead.
Sector Commandants are selected by the Chief of Star Fleet Operations with the
approval of the Director: Star Fleet Command. Typically, Sector Commandants are
usually either former base or fleet commanders, depending on where they are in the lineal
list of flag officers.
To aid the Sector Commandant in the management of his forces throughout the octant,
Regional and Area Commanders are designated and assigned to sectors or regions of
space. The term Area Commander is not a formal title, but defined as the “Senior Officer
Present” of the area or region of space in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 6110.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Most sectors within an octant will contain at least one Starbase or Star Fleet Station
from where the management of Star Fleet forces for the entire sector will be performed,
and where the operational orders to the forces are relayed. However, because there are so
many sectors within an octant, sectors will be grouped together under a single command
authority, the grouping of which will depend upon the population or system density of the
region. The reason being is that the Federation does not have the resources to build a
base or station in each sector, which could amount to over 5000 of such bases. Therefore,
bases and stations must be strategically placed and must cover a large volume of space
equivalent to about 27 sectors or over 6000 cubic parsecs.
The above command authority will typically be placed upon the local Starbase or Star
Fleet Station Commander. Where there may be more than one base or station within
the grouped region, one of the bases will be designated as the Area Command Base or
Regional Command Center. As such, the commander of the Area Base will be the
senior officer of the region with the additional title of Area Commander and will report
directly to the Sector Commandant.
The volume of space commanded by the Area Commander may contain other smaller
stations as well. As such, the Commanding Officers of these stations will come under
direct authority of the Area Commander. However, these smaller stations will also have
their own jurisdictional authority or “Sphere of Influence”. Jurisdictional Authority is
defined as the volume of space around the station where the Commanding Officer of
the station is the “Senior Officer Present” and has absolute command authority. All vessels,
whether they are private, commercial or Star Fleet, will come under the direct authority
of the Station Commander. The size of the sphere ranges depending on the size and
location of the station as illustrated below.

When a vessel enters this area or orbits around a station, the Station Commander is in
complete charge regarding the placement and speed of the vessel, and permission from
the Station Commander must be granted to orbit around and visit the station. However,
the Station Commander has no authority regarding the internal operations of any vessel
as stated in Star Fleet Regulation 5520. In addition to being area command centers,
another function of Starbases and Star Fleet Stations is to support the fleet. In terms
of fleet operations, bases support the fleet with supplies and equipment, fuel, craft; are
the source for troops; act as repair and refurbishment facilities, and centers for rest and
recreation. Each octant will be assigned a fleet of ships under the command of a Fleet
Commander. In general, most of the operational missions for Star Fleet will be executed
by the fleet. This will be described in more detail in Section 5.4. Lastly, Starships will also
have their own sphere of Jurisdictional Authority as well, which will normally be the
ship’s patrol zone.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET COMMAND ORDERS AND DIRECTIVES
The functions of Star Fleet, as specified in Chapter I of the Star Fleet Charter, will be
translated into directives sent to the Operating Forces by Star Fleet Command. Orders
and directives generally come in the form of written communiqués sent to all or to specific
commands within the Operating Forces and Shore Establishments.
All Star Fleet orders and directives have their basis in Federation law. As the diagram
below illustrates, the foundation for any order will be based upon the directives from a
lower level within the hierarchy of Star Fleet orders and directives. That is, each level of
the pyramid represents an order of precedence for that particular level of a directive. To
illustrate, a Star Fleet Regulation takes precedence over a Star Fleet General Order.
That is to say, a Star Fleet General Order cannot violate Star Fleet Regulations or
any other order, regulation, instruction or directive below it in the pyramid.

Orders
Star Fleet General

Star Fleet Regulations
Star Fleet Executive Orders
Star Fleet Charter
Articles of Federation / Federation Law
In general, a directive is an instruction issued by the Director: Star Fleet Command in

order to fulfill a specific requirement of the Star Fleet Charter, a Star Fleet Regulation
or a Federation policy. A directive is somewhat permanent and can only be rescinded by
the Director or by his or her successor. Only those holding the position of Director can
generate or rescind a Star Fleet directive.
The first kind of directive is a Star Fleet Executive Order. These are one-time orders or
instructions initially given to the division directors, commanders and other staff when the
Department of the Star Fleet was first created in order to fulfill the requirements set
forth in the Star Fleet Charter. As such, Star Fleet Executive Orders were issued to
define and create the various divisions, bureaus, sections, and commands, in general, the
basic infrastructure of the Department of the Star Fleet. An example of such an order
is Star Fleet Executive Order 6.2, which directs the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel to
assimilate the contingents of the various member forces of the Federation into the Star
Fleet Service; to create and train the Star Fleet Officer Corps and to recruit personnel
into the Service.
The next kind of directive is a Star Fleet General Order. General Orders are derived
from the directives issued by the Director: Star Fleet Command in order to fulfill the
requirements set forth in the Star Fleet Charter and Star Fleet Regulations. General
Orders, as the term implies, are general instructions pertaining to a specific responsibility
of Star Fleet and apply to everyone within the Service. At the present time there are 29
such General Orders.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
An order, on the other hand, is a single temporary directive or instruction designed to fulfill
a specific mission, assignment or operation. There are two types of orders:
a. Operational Orders – those directives issued to specific commands for the fulfillment
of a mission or other operational objective.
b. Functional Orders – those directives or instructions issued to carry out a particular
operation or assignment. Functional orders are those issued to individuals to perform a
task or to assign an individual to a command or function.
The central authority for the issuance of Star Fleet operational orders and directives will
be Star Fleet Operations. It is Star Fleet Operations that will assign ships and vessels
to sectors and areas, and it is Star Fleet Operations that will assign missions, operations
and exercises to the Operating Forces which must follow the Chain of Command as
illustrated in Figure 1a53.2. Operational orders received by any command, whether visual
or audio, will be followed up with an electronic order sent by subspace radio and inserted
directly into the unit’s computer system.
The last category of an order or instruction is a command or Direct Order. These typically
are one-on-one verbal directives issued by a superior to a junior describing what needs to
be done. Typically, the method of accomplishing the task or assignment will be left to the
discretion of the person ordered. Star Fleet Regulations 8140, 8920 and 5420 all deal
with how such orders and commands are to be carried out.
COMMUNICATION OF ORDERS AND DIRECTIVES
Orders from Star Fleet Operations are usually communicated by subspace radio. Normal
space communications utilize electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light (3.0 x
105 kilometers per second). However, this form of communication is very slow considering
that modern vessels travel at speeds that far exceed that of light. Therefore, a new form
of communication wave utilizing tachyons traveling through subspace was developed. The
speed and frequency of the tachyon wave is dependent on its excitation energy. However,
this excitation energy is logarithmic and requires a significant amount of energy.
At this time the maximum speed of subspace communications is limited to an equivalent

speed of Warp 18.1712 or approximately 6,000 times the speed of light. Taking into
account subspace time dilation, the apparent speed of subspace communications is more
like 109,000 times the speed of light. With such speeds the average time a message that
was sent from Star Base Central would reach the Earth would be around 10 minutes;
from Star Base Central to the Romulan Neutral Zone, about 8 hours; and from Star
Base Central to the current edge of Federation space, about 23 hours.
Communication time via subspace radio, though quite fast, still requires time to reach the
outer command areas. In addition, subspace radio also has its own limitations. Energy
dissipation of the tachyon carrier will cause the signal strength to deteriorate. As such, the
effective range of a subspace message packet is approximately 22.65 light-years. In order
to maintain signal strength Subspace Relay Stations are placed throughout Federation
space, the locations of which are classified. These stations contain signal amplifiers that
essentially process and resend the entire message packet. This necessitates a substantial
power plant and therefore, relay stations were built onto moderately sized asteroids with
pergium-fueled reactors. This system of subspace relay stations constitutes the Star Fleet
Subspace Message Relay System, as illustrated in Figure 1a53.3.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Messages sent by Star Fleet are always encoded into compressed packets, the technical
description of which will be described in Volume V. Each encoded packet will then be sent
through one or more subspace frequency channels, depending on the type of message. A
subspace channel, therefore, is a specific frequency or energy level of the tachyon wave,
which can only be picked-up by equipment attuned to that frequency.
Star Fleet has two methods of transmitting subspace messages: Broadcast and Tight-
beam. A Broadcast message is a signal that is sent through all subspace channels, which
will be received by all units, including Local Forces units. Typically, Broadcast messages
are used to send general announcements and global alerts to the entire Operating Force
located throughout the Federation. Broadcast messages will also be used to transmit
specific information or instructions to a single command as well. Codes within the message
header identify the specific command to which the message is intended, and which would
only allow the specific command to read and decode the contents.
Tight-beam messages, on the other hand, are designed for a specific command unit only.
This form of message would be sent through the Subspace Message Relay System
using a special tachyon beam. The message beam would be sent along the chain of relay
stations until the message reached the last and most appropriate station. The message is
then sent to the command using the special tachyon beam. This form of communication is
for highly classified messages.
All subspace transmissions are automatically encoded as a matter of course. Encoding and
decoding is performed by the facility’s communications computer. There are several code
formats used in the creation of the message package and each of these code formats have
been programmed into the communications computers of all units throughout the fleet.
Each message packet contains a message header that identifies how the packet is to be
decoded and by what communications subsystem. Any Commanding Officer of a ship or
base can select the code in which they will transmit their messages. Should any of these
encoding/decoding formats become known to anyone outside of Star Fleet, a message is
sent to that effect along with a programming script that will deactivate the coding module
in the unit’s communications computer.
As mentioned above, there are some Broadcast messages that are global alert codes
(LERTCON) or standard condition codes sent throughout the fleet. The LERTCONs,
which are set by Star Fleet, translate into Defense Conditions (DEFCON) set by the
Federation Council. The following table lists the LERTCONs that would be sent as
Broadcast messages throughout the fleet[6]. A detailed explanation of these LERTCONs
will be presented in Chapter 8 of Volume II of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

5.4 STAR FLEET OPERATING FORCES

The Operating Forces of Star Fleet is comprised of the various fleets, flotillas and Fleet
Marine Corps forces assigned throughout Federation space. At this time there are eight
primary fleets, two flotillas, five Battle Groups and 25 Fleet Marine Divisions spread
across the Federation.
In addition to the mobile forces, there are five Regional Star Fleet Headquarters, 28
major Starbases, 41 stations, 68 outposts, 12 garrisons and 59 support facilities spread
throughout Federation space. These bases are the command centers for the fleet and
provide the communications link between Star Fleet Command and the forces operating
at the outer rim of Federation space.
FEDERATION TREATY ZONE FORCES
The function of the forces within the Federation Treaty Zone is to maintain peace and
security among the worlds within the zone. These forces function as a form of police force,
regulating space traffic, protecting commerce and generally maintaining law and order in
the zone. To ensure the peace and security within the Treaty Zone, two flotillas were
created to patrol this zone designated Flotilla 9 (FLOT9) and 10 (FLOT10), respectively,
as specified in ARTICLE 63 of the Star Fleet Charter. Each of the flotillas is commanded
by a Flotilla Commander, a line officer with the rank of Rear Admiral and designated
Commander: Starship Flotilla {9/10} or COMFLOT{9/10}. Together, these two
flotillas have 34 line Starships distributed among the nine sectors of the Treaty Zone.
This effectively implies that four line Starships will each be required to patrol a volume of
space of approximately 38 cubic parsecs (4.7x1042 cubic km) within their assigned sector.
However, not all of the Starships in this zone will be assigned law-enforcement duty. At
least one of the Starships in each sector will be assigned to survey, map and otherwise
perform other scientific duties within the Treaty Zone.
The bulk of the ships within the two flotillas consist primarily of Destroyer or Escort class
Starships. The duty of these ships is somewhat light, being primarily concerned with law
enforcement. Therefore, there is no necessity for large, powerful combatants. The primary
requirement for the ships in these two flotillas is speed. Hence, the Destroyer and Escort
classes of ships were selected to fulfill this role. However, the two flotillas also have four
Light Cruisers distributed between as well. These larger ships are sufficiently powerful to
handle any significant threat, but are primarily used as flagships for the squadron.
The 32 Starships within the Treaty Zone are organized into eight squadrons that are
numbered Squadron 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 14, and 15. Therefore, each flotilla will contain
four squadrons, each of which will be are assigned a specific sector to patrol. As stated,
each squadron contains four Starships, one of which will be designated as the flagship
for the squadron. The Commanding Officer of the lead ship will become the Squadron
Commander with the rank of Commodore and will have the title Commander: Flotilla
Squadron <n> or COMFLOTRON<n>. Where a Light Cruiser may be assigned to a
squadron, the Squadron Commander will be the Commanding Officer of that ship. In
addition, and from time to time, these squadrons may be rotated between flotillas or may
be assigned a different sector to patrol. This prevents mission stagnation and provides the
crews of these vessels with new experiences.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Two additional Starships will be assigned as flagships for the Flotilla Commanders.
These vessels are normally the larger Cruiser class Starships befitting the rank of the
Flotilla Commander. Each flagship is a mobile office for the Flotilla Commander and
his staff when embarked afloat. In addition, these flagships normally do not perform patrol
duties, but are primarily used to visit the various worlds of the Federation, performing
diplomatic, good will and political functions. These flagships will normally be stationed near
Star Base Central in Sector 001 where the Flotilla Commanders have their command
offices.
In addition to the line Starships there are 16 vessels used to support the operating forces
within the Treaty Zone. These support vessels are assigned to provide in-space service
and replenishment of the combatants operating within their patrol areas. This support unit
is composed of two repair ships, two fueling ships, four supply ships, four freighters and
four fleet tugs. The four supply ships mentioned will be used to replenish the combatants
while underway, while the four freighters are used to supply the various bases and stations
functioning within the Treaty Zone. The distribution of ship classes within the two flotillas
is tabulated below:

Scattered throughout the Treaty Zone are a number of Star Fleet bases, the majority of
which are located on the various signatory worlds. The exception to this rule is the planet
Vulcan, which was never enthusiastic about a central armed service with such power as
that given to the Star Fleet. These huge bases are known as System Bases with the
title of “Star Fleet Headquarters” and are typically large ground facilities located on the
home world of a Federation member. These bases are primarily administrative facilities
that may contain both Star Fleet and Local Forces. As such, these bases act as liaison
points between the member government and Star Fleet. System Bases are essentially
operational command and training centers, and are not what is normally referred to as
Starbases. Starbases are generally command centers outside the Treaty Zone and are
typically built on non-member, uninhabited planets or large asteroids. The commanders of
such facilities will typically be the Area Commander for the sector.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Where a sector does not contain a member system, a Star Fleet Station will be built in
that area. A Star Fleet Station is a self-contained facility in free space. Such stations
may be built within a system or float freely in open space. These facilities act as regional
command centers for the forces within the sector, and may also contain regional courts to
adjudicate cases involving the violation of Federation law within that region, as well as
for military courts-martial. These stations also function as rest areas for Starship crews.
They contain small shops and recreation areas for Starship crews to take advantage of,
but do not contain any living quarters for the crews. The crews must live onboard the ship
and can only visit the station, if they were granted visitation or liberty rights to the station.
However, there are a small number of open quarters for visiting Commanding Officers
and dignitaries.
The commander of these stations will normally become the Area Commander for that
sector. The Area Commander is defined as the senior officer of all the forces within that
sector, area or region of space. All operational orders to the forces within that region will
originate from the Area Commander and do not, on their own, initiate operations for the
Starships that happen to be in the area, but merely relay command orders from a higher
authority. However, Area Commanders will have direct authority over all ground troops
within their jurisdiction. Within the Star Fleet chain of command, all Area Commanders
within the Treaty Zone report directly to the Commander: Federation Treaty Zone.
In addition to bases and stations, Star Fleet has several support facilities stationed at
strategic locations throughout the Treaty Zone. These facilities are used to support the
ships and craft of the fleet and are categorized into Mobile Drydocks, Construction
Facilities and Repair Facilities. Currently, Star Fleet has sixteen Mobile Drydocks,
six Construction Facilities and eleven Repair Facilities, with all the Repair Facilities
located outside the Treaty Zone.
All of the six Construction Facilities are located within the Treaty Zone. The primary
function of these facilities is to build the ships and craft for Star Fleet, as well as building
the segments used to construct the various space stations. Construction Facilities are
very large stations floating in space with some of them capable of building up to four line
Starships at the same time. Two of these facilities are located within Sector 001.
Distributed throughout the Treaty Zone are four Mobile Drydocks. These structures are
used for the repair and refitting of ships and craft in deep space where there may not be
any repair or construction facility nearby. However, these facilities are not meant for major
overhauls or repairs. They typically have the appearance of a scaffold-like frame structure,
with offices and work areas attached to the outside of the frame. Drydocks are mobile
and can be moved from place-to-place using fleet tugs.
Starships and craft will enter the structure and anchored within it. An enclosed brow will
be attached to the ship at a convenient external hatch for access between the ship and the
dock, as well as to provide shore power and other utility connections. Typically, it will be
an officer of the Engineering Corps that will generally command a Mobile Drydock.
However, this officer reports directly to the Area Commander and it is he who decides
which ship will undergo refitting or that has priority to use the facility.

At the very center of the Treaty Zone or Sector 001, and therefore the Federation, is
Star Base Central, a large self-contained space station housing all the offices of Star
Fleet Command. From this central base the entire operation of Star Fleet is managed.
All the forces within the Treaty Zone will come under the direction of the Commandant:
Federation Treaty Zone (COMSEC0). The Commandant: Federation Treaty Zone is
equivalent to a Sector Commandant, the officer in command of an octant outside the
Treaty Zone, and who will also have the rank of Vice Admiral. And as with all Sector
Commandants, the COMSEC0 reports directly to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations.
The COMSEC0 will have his or her office at Star Base Central and along with the two
Flotilla Commanders, plans and manages the forces within the Treaty Zone.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
FEDERATION EXPLORATION ZONE FORCES
Outside the Treaty Zone, and throughout the rest of the Federation territories, are
distributed the eight fleets that comprise the bulk of the Operating Forces of Star Fleet,
as required under ARTICLE 62 of the Star Fleet Charter. Each fleet will be assigned to
one of the eight primary octants dividing the Federation Exploration Zone and as such,
will be numbered accordingly (e.g. 1st Fleet, 2nd Fleet, ... 8th Fleet).
Each octant will be commanded by a Sector Commandant with the rank of Admiral
who reports directly to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations. These commanders have a
great responsibility since they are in command of all the forces and bases within a volume
of space equivalent to about 161,000 cubic parsecs. As such, they rely heavily upon the
various Area, Base and Starship commanders for their support and to carry out the
missions and operations that are assigned to the COMSEC.
Each fleet is commanded by a Fleet Commander with the rank of Vice Admiral, and
has the title of Commander: <nth> Fleet and will have the designation COMFLT<n>.
For example, Commander: 3rd Fleet will be designated COMFLT3. Importantly, the
Fleet Commander is the senior officer of the fleet and has precedence over all personnel
within his assigned fleet. The Fleet Commander also reports directly to the Chief of
Star Fleet Operations through the Sector Commandant of the octant his fleet has
been deployed. Therefore, fleet operational orders will come directly from Star Fleet
Command to the Fleet Commander, either directly from the Chief of Star Fleet
Operations or through the Sector Commandant. Usually, the Fleet Commander will
be stationed at the same base or location as the Sector Commandant. Together, they
represent force operations for the octant of space assigned to them.
Each permanent fleet has approximately 53 ships composed of 37 combatants and about
16 support vessels. The primary capital ship of a fleet is the Battleship. These vessels are
very large Starships with powerful weapon systems and look similar in appearance to the
standard Cruiser class Starship, but on a much larger scale. These ships serve as the
flagship for the Fleet Commander when he or she is embarked in space, and contain the
offices and staterooms for the flag commander’s staff. Where there may be more than one
Battleship within a fleet, the Fleet Commander will select his or her flagship.
Second to the Battleship in power are the Cruiser class Starships. These ships are built
for speed as well as firepower. Most of the primary missions of Star Fleet will be carried-
out using this class of vessel. That is, Cruisers will, by and large, perform the function of
exploring deep space; seeking out new life and civilizations, scientific investigation, act as
the regional court and will be engaged in the general protection of Federation persons,
property and trade. A permanent fleet will average around seven such ships ranging in size
from Heavy Cruisers to Light Cruisers. These ships will primarily be deployed at the
outer boundaries of Federation space, especially near hostile systems. Their speed allows
them to reach an area of space in the shortest amount of time. These outlying forces will
normally receive their orders and assignments from nearby Starbases.
Each fleet will also contain a class of ship called Frigates. These vessels are just slightly
smaller than a Light Cruiser, but with greater speed. However, Frigates do not have the
same level of firepower as the Cruiser class and as such, are deployed to areas where the
potential for hostility from outside forces will not be as great as the areas the Cruisers will
be deployed. During peacetime these ships carry out the same primary missions as do the
Cruisers, but with a reduced risk of encountering a belligerent force.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The next class of ship in a fleet is the Destroyer class. These ships account for the bulk of
the fleet with an average of about twenty-four such ships in each fleet. The vessels in this
class range from Heavy Destroyers to Destroyer Escorts and Corvettes. In terms of
their appearance, a Heavy Destroyer has a similar configuration as a standard Starship
with a Primary Hull, a Secondary Hull and two outboard main engines anchored to the
Secondary Hull. However, the smaller Destroyer Escorts and Corvettes do not have a
Secondary Hull and are generally propelled by only one main engine. Destroyer class
ships are basically employed to patrol the central areas of the octants in which the fleet is
assigned. They perform the majority of the escort and law enforcement functions in deep
space. As such, Destroyers will patrol the various flight routes and space lanes to ensure
that private and commercial vessels comply with regulations. In addition, Destroyers also
perform space surveys and other functions relating to the safe navigation of ships in deep
space. During fleet action, Destroyers will function as screening vessels, protecting the
fleet from enemy ships and fighter craft, and sweeping space for high-energy mines. They
will typically be deployed around the edges of the fleet in order to protect it from vessels
approaching from the flanks, and to protect the fleet support vessels. The following table
lists the various classes of ships assigned to the eight primary fleets of Star Fleet.

Each fleet will be divided into six ship squadrons, each containing six line combatants and
about 2-3 support vessels. This grouping of vessels will be commanded by a Squadron
Commander with the rank of Commodore, and will be designated Commander: Fleet
Squadron <n> or COMFLTRON<n>. Typically, it is the Commanding Officer of the
largest ship in the squadron, generally a Heavy Cruiser that will become the Squadron
Commander. All other Starship Captains within the squadron will report directly to the
Squadron Commander unless detached to perform a special operation (SPECOPS) by
Star Fleet Command. In this case, the Commanding Officer of the detached Starship
will report directly to Star Fleet Operations. Generally, each squadron will be assigned a
sector or group of sectors to patrol. The ships within the squadron will be further dispersed
throughout the assigned patrol area.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Unlike the forces in the Treaty Zone, where the auxiliary vessels support both flotillas,
support vessels are assigned directly to a fleet. Furthermore, support vessels are assigned
to specific squadrons within a fleet as well, primarily repair and supply ships. In addition,
there are special-purpose vessels that may be assigned to a fleet. These vessels may be
attached to a specific fleet, but will get their orders directly from Star Fleet Command.
Star Fleet also includes five standing Battle Groups, designated BG1 to BG5 that are
independent of the eight fleets. They are commanded by a Group Commander with the
rank of Rear Admiral, and will have the title of Commander: Battle Group <n> with
the designation COMBATGRP<n>. For example, Commander: Battle Group 1 will be
designated COMBATGRP1. Each Group Commander reports directly to the Chief of
Star Fleet Operations through the Sector Commandant of the sector his group is
currently assigned. As such, fleet operational orders will come directly from Star Fleet
Command to the Group Commander, either directly from the Chief of Star Fleet
Operations or through the Sector Commandant.
Each Battle Group is made up of nine (9) combatants and two support ships, with the
primary capital ship being the Attack Carrier. An Attack Carrier is a large, flat vessel
containing several hundred attack/interceptor/fighter craft used for long-range combat and
reconnaissance missions, and will serve as the flagship for the Group Commander who
maintains his or her office aboard the flagship and as such, will always be with the group.
Flanking the carrier are typically two Light Cruisers or Heavy Frigates used to ward off
attacks by enemy combatants. These ships will also be used to support troop landings on
hostile planets. They would lay down suppressive fire on surface targets while the troops
are being deployed to the surface. Protecting the group is an assortment of Destroyers
and Escort ships used as screening vessels for incoming fighter attack. Supporting each
group will be a fuel ship and a supply ship. The fuel ship is used to keep the carrier-based
interceptor craft supplied with fuel. The supply ship is always kept with the group because
of the long duration of the group’s missions and since most of the group's patrol areas are
far away from any Starbase where they can be supplied. Therefore, a dedicated ship is
needed to keep the group supplied with equipment and spare parts.
Each Battle Group will be assigned to a sector of space on a rotational basis. That is, a
Battle Group will be assigned a patrol a sector for a specified period of time, around nine
months, before it is moved or reassigned to a different sector, or is relieved by another
Battle Group. Typically, Battle Groups are assigned to sectors or sectors near Neutral
Zones close to potential trouble areas. However, when not engaged in patrolling a sector,
a Battle Group will typically “anchor” near the Sector Starbase for an extended leave
period, and at least one Battle Group will always be assigned to Sector 001.

Starbases are the largest type of base within Star Fleet. They are typically stationary
structures built on planets, planetoids or very large asteroids and are basically of two
types: Fleet Starbases and System Starbases. Fleet Starbases are large facilities
constructed on planets or planetoids that are uninhabited or on a world that is not a
member of the Federation. These bases serve as major command and control centers for
the fleet. There are also two types of such bases: Open and Self-contained. An Open
base is one that needs no pressure structure since the base is constructed on a planet with
an atmosphere, while a Self-contained base is one constructed on a planet that has no
atmosphere or one with a poisonous atmosphere, which is used for a special-purpose.
System Starbases, on the other hand, are large bases built on populated worlds that are
members of the Federation and are also known as regional Star Fleet Headquarters.
Besides serving as fleet command centers, they also function as liaison points between
member systems and Star Fleet, serve as major training centers, and as command and
control centers with Local Forces. All System Starbases are “Open” type of facilities.
Each octant of the Federation Exploration Zone will contain one base which acts as the
command center for the entire octant. These bases are called Sector Bases and house
the Sector Commandant and the Fleet Commander for that region and as such, there
are eight such bases. All orders and directives issued by Star Fleet Command will be
sent to the Sector Base for dissemination among the forces within that octant.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Star Fleet Stations are smaller self-contained bases that are usually floating freely in
space. They serve as command centers for the fleet within a sector, but are limited in their
support capabilities. However, there are some very large stations that are capable of fully
supporting the fleet. Stations are generally built deep in space, somewhere between the
outer edge of Federation space and those Starbases deep within Federation territory.
Star Fleet Stations comprise the third layer of fleet command and are generally the relay
points for the central command. In addition, Star Fleet Stations also serve as regional
law-enforcement centers with courts to decide cases involving violations of Federation
law in that region, as well as for military courts-martial. Lastly, these stations function as
rest areas for Starship crews. These stations typically contain small shops and recreation
areas for visiting crews to use.
Garrisons are smaller Starbases located near the edge of Federation space that are
primarily used to house Star Fleet troops. Garrisons usually have very little fleet support
capabilities, and are focused more on housing, training and supporting the Fleet Marine
forces. As such, there is generally only a small crew of Star Fleet personnel stationed at
Garrisons, typically around 150, used to operate the base. But the bulk of the personnel
stationed at a Garrison will be Star Fleet Marine Corps troops. There are twelve such
Garrisons within the Shore Establishment.
Outposts are small stations constructed at the edge of Federation territory or nearby
Federation Neutral Zones. Their primary function is to monitor the boundary and to
provide the first level of communication in case of attack or invasion. Outposts are also
stationed around Federation Buffer Zones to monitor compliance with zone restrictions.
Outposts that are near Neutral Zones or on the border of hostile territory are generally
constructed inside relatively large asteroids. Such asteroids provide additional protection
from enemy attack since such asteroids are essentially large blocks of iron.
Personnel at these Outposts are generally stationed there for about three months. They
rotate between stations and outposts about every six months. That is, a person assigned
to an Outpost is there for three months, and then rotated to a Starbase for six months
before returning to another Outpost. The relief schedule is scattered so that only a few
Outposts need to have their personnel relieved. This relief procedure will be performed
on a quarterly basis and is timed with the required quarterly medical checkups. Starships
are generally used to perform the relief operation and the quarterly physicals.
Star Fleet Command, in accordance with ARTICLE 23 of the Star Fleet Charter, will
generally determine the location of all bases and stations. In addition, ARTICLE 23 of the
Charter also gives Star Fleet the authority to construct any shore facility within the
framework of the restriction that the location of the facility must be outside the boundary
of any member system, or that permission from the local system government must be
obtained should the base be placed anywhere within the system. However, regardless of
these restrictions Star Fleet is given full authority to construct bases on any planet within
Federation space that is not specifically within the space of an inhabited system.
All Star Fleet bases and stations are designed by the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers
and built by the Star Fleet Construction Command. Some of the large bases may take
several years to complete. In the case of major repairs, improvements or expansions, it
will be the Star Fleet Construction Command that will perform this work. For routine
maintenance, repair and minor expansion, the local base engineering and maintenance
staff will perform that work.

FORCES OUTSIDE THE FEDERATION
Generally, there are very few Operating Forces located outside the boundaries of the
Federation. Primarily, the only Star Fleet forces that may be outside the boundaries are
those engaged in exploration and survey activities.
STAR FLEET TROOPS
Troops are primarily made up of personnel from the Star Fleet Marine Corps, which
amounts to a total force of about 400,930 troops. Currently, there are a total of 25 Fleet
Marine divisions stationed throughout Federation space on various bases. Twelve of
these divisions are distributed among the 12 Star Fleet Garrisons dotting Federation
space.

5.5 STAR FLEET OPERATING

REQUIREMENTS
Although small in size relative to the entire galaxy, the United Federation of Planets
contains hundreds of inhabited planets and over 40 billion people. As such, the size of the
United Federation of Planets requires a large operating force of vessels and personnel.
In this section, the basic requirements needed to construct and maintain an effective Star
Fleet force will be discussed. The operating requirements are based upon several factors:
1. The number of ships required to patrol Federation space.

2. The number of bases and stations required to support the fleet.
3. The size of the force required to man the ship and base assets.
Each of these requirements will be discussed within the following subsections.
FLEET REQUIREMENTS - TREATY ZONE
Fleet requirements are defined as the factors used in determining the number of operating
units needed to perform the missions to which Star Fleet is assigned. The initial fleet size
requirement given to Star Fleet by the Federation Council was based upon having a
fleet of ships capable of responding to any condition and arriving on station within twenty-
four hours at maximum safe speed. This implies that any single ship must be able to cover
a distance of about 6.6 x 109 kilometers in any direction, which would require an operating
sphere of about 0.042 cubic parsecs. However, considering that the volume of a single
Federation octant in the Exploration Zone that a Star Fleet ship would have to work
within is approximately 161,000 cubic parsecs, this would require about 4 million ships
merely to patrol just one octant of space. And if the same requirement was placed upon
vessels in the Treaty Zone, with its volume of 136 cubic parsecs, the size of the fleet
would be about 3300 ships. As such, this requirement was hardly realistic and far beyond
the financial capabilities of the Federation. Therefore, a revised set of requirements had
to be developed that were reasonable and attainable.
The final requirement established by Star Fleet was that any vessel had to be able to
respond to an emergency situation at the outer edge of the ship’s patrol zone within seven
to ten days, bearing in mind the huge distances involved. As such, this would require an
effective patrol sphere for a typical Star Fleet ship to be in the neighborhood of 42 cubic
parsecs, or about 7 light-years in any direction. With this new requirement a patrol sphere
would only require four ships in any quadrant of the Treaty Zone, or a total of 32 ships to
cover the entire Treaty Zone. Therefore, with this new requirement, the total number of
ships necessary to compose the two flotillas, as required under ARTICLE 63 of the Star
Fleet Charter, was established at 32 ships.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
FLEET REQUIREMENTS – EXPLORATION ZONE
However, the criteria developed for the Treaty Zone cannot be directly applied to ships
operating in the Exploration Zone since the distances are simply too great. Therefore, a
different requirement was needed. The response criteria established for the Exploration
Zone was based upon a combination of base locations along with their assigned ships.
The response time specification would remain at ten days, but taken from a point near the
outer edge of the Exploration Zone. Therefore, it was decided that Star Fleet ships
would only patrol within a volume corresponding to about 10 percent of the total radius of
the Exploration Zone. Considering that the Exploration Zone has a radius of about 70
parsecs, the time it would take to traverse this distance at maximum safe speed from the
center of the Treaty Zone was determined to be approximately 32 days. As such, a patrol
zone of about 7 parsecs (~23 light-years) from the edge of the Exploration Zone was
established, which is roughly equivalent to breadth of one cubic sector. This would allow
Starships to quickly respond to any emergency and reach the affected area within 48
hours at maximum Warp.
In addition, the size of any given fleet would also be determined by examining the volume
of space that must be patrolled by that fleet. The approximate volume of any given octant
of the Federation is about 161,000 cubic parsecs. Given this volume of space and the
effective range of a standard combatant, the number of ships required to effectively patrol
such a volume, based upon the current size of the Exploration Zone, was determined to
be about 50 ships. As such, the total size of the fleet outside the Treaty Zone and made
up entirely of combatants was determined to be approximately 400 ships. Therefore, the
total fleet size of 400 combatants was established as the goal for Star Fleet.
As part of its analysis, Star Fleet determined that the ratio of the number of support ships
required to service a fleet size of 400 combatants was 1:2. That is, any given support ship
must be able to simultaneously support two combatants. As such, a total support fleet size
of 200 vessels was established, contributing to a total required fleet size of 600 ships –
exclusive of any specialized vessels.
At the current time, the size of the fleet (combatants and fleet support ships) totals 522
vessels, which is slightly short of the 600 ship goal established by Star Fleet. However,
new Star Fleet ships are continuously being built and it is estimated that the fleet should
meet its goal in about fifteen years.
Star Fleet is also aware that Federation space is continuously being expanded through
exploration and colonization, and that the volume of space that will be patrolled in the
future is increasing exponentially. Therefore, an incremental fleet expansion value must be
established to account for new territories. Based upon the patrol range of Starships, Star
Fleet has determined that a new Starship must be added to the fleet for every 13.4
sectors incorporated into the Federation. This equates to a new Starship for each newly
discovered 3000 cubic parsecs of space.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
BASE AND SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
The requirements for a Star Fleet force must also take into account the number of bases,
stations and other facilities needed to support the given fleet size. Therefore, base and
support requirements are directly related to fleet requirements. In general, the necessity
regarding the number of bases and stations is based primarily upon the time and distance
required to efficiently send and receive communications to and from the fleet. As such,
Star Fleet has set, as a standard, the maximum distance between bases and stations to
be based upon a maximum range a Star Fleet ship or station is able receive a subspace
message within two hours. Therefore, taking into account subspace time dilation and the
apparent speed of a subspace message of about 109,000 times the speed of light, the
maximum distance between bases and stations was determined to be approximately 25
light-years.
Based upon such message speeds, the average time a message would take if it were sent
from Star Base Central to Earth would be about 10 minutes; from Star Base Central to
the Romulan Neutral Zone, about 8 hours; and from Star Base Central to the outer
edge of Federation space, about 23 hours. Communication time via subspace radio,
though quite fast, still takes time to reach the outer command areas. In addition, subspace
radio also has its limitations. Energy dissipation of the tachyon carrier will cause the signal
strength to weaken. As such, the effective range of a subspace message packet is about
22.65 light-years. In order to maintain signal strength Subspace Relay Stations are
placed throughout Federation space, the locations of which are classified.
The number and range of Star Fleet ships also determines the number and size of the
support facilities required to supply and refurbish these ships. This task would primarily be
performed by the stations located near the periphery of Federation space and the patrol
areas. And based upon a 25 light-year operating sphere, the number of bases required to
support the fleet would be nearly 600. Again, this figure is beyond the financial capability
of the Federation. As such, Star Fleet established the requirement that a facility would
only be needed every 120 light-years from another. This would make the effective range
of any Star Fleet base at 60 light-years, which would require the use of Subspace Relay
Stations as well. Therefore, based upon this new requirement, Star Fleet determined
that a total of only forty-eight major bases would be needed throughout the Federation
Exploration Zone, which translates to a requirement of six major bases per octant, with
the gaps in support to be handled by smaller space stations.
The requirement regarding the support of the fleet must also include the resources needed
to build and maintain these operating assets as well. That is, the number of ships, bases
and stations needed to maintain an effective force will contribute to the overall size of the
construction force needed to build and maintain these assets. For example, at any one
time during any year approximately 15 Star Fleet ships may be undergoing an overhaul.
As such, stations and bases must be constructed to handle this workload. In addition, due
to wear and tear of ships, about 30% of the fleet will require some form of maintenance or
refit during any given year. Therefore, repair and other support facilities must be made
available throughout the Federation. As such, it was determined that Star Fleet required
six construction facilities, eleven ship repair facilities and sixteen Drydocks. Aside from
ship maintenance and construction, bases and stations are constantly being constructed as
the Federation pushes further out into the unknown regions of the galaxy. In addition, a
large ground station takes around 2 years to build, and self-contained space stations about
3 years. Therefore, all this work will require a relatively large construction force.

MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS
Manpower requirements are defined as the factors used in determining the proper force
size needed to perform the missions to which Star Fleet is assigned. Thus, manpower is
directly proportional to the fleet requirements because the force size is directly related to
the number of ships and support facilities as determined in the previous sections. To
illustrate this, the following table itemizes the manpower requirements of the Star Fleet,
organized into its primary parts.

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
The financial requirement to sustain Star Fleet is enormous. The money to support Star
Fleet essentially comes from the member systems of the Federation and from other
sources such as from security contracts with non-member systems to provide protection
services, etc. This is the principal reason why Star Fleet is responsible for expanding
Federation boundaries, and to recruit new member worlds into the Federation.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
CURRENT LONG-TERM DEBT
Star Fleet capital costs (i.e. the cost of constructing vessels and stations) are typically
amortized over a 50 year period. This is because the Federation does not have the
financial resources to pay out the cost of constructing Star Fleet assets all at once. As
such, the current long term debt includes the cost of constructing 590 ships, and 214
bases and stations. The total cost for these assets amounts to f 942,123,044,000,000
Federation Credits*. Amortized over a 50-year period at an interest rate of 1.5%, this
amounts to an annual expenditure of f 26,794,690,730,148.
The burden of Star Fleet’s debt essentially falls upon the worlds of the Federation.
Considering that the whole United Federation of Planets consists of approximately 159
worlds, the average cost per world of this debt amounts to about 170 billion Credits, which
is a manageable amount. However, in actuality, the cost per world is dependent upon the
total population. Basically, the total population of the Federation is first determined and a
per capita cost value is calculated. The total cost burden of a world will be calculated using
the per capita factor. However, credit will be given to those worlds that directly support
Star Fleet. Such support includes waiving the cost to lease property for a System Base,
supplying equipment, ships, etc. As such, the expenditure by Star Fleet for base leases
will decrease Star Fleet's overall annual debt expenditure by about f 425,000,000.
*The Federation Credit is based upon the Gold-pressed Latinum standard. At this time one credit is equal to
about 22.10 North American Dollars on Earth

6.1 DIRECTIVE TO MAN THE FLEET

In 2206, after the creation and approval of the Star Fleet Charter, the newly appointed
Director: Star Fleet Command issued several Executive Orders, under ARTICLE 71 of
the Charter, in order to establish the structure and organization of the Department of
the Star Fleet, specifically ARTICLES 72 and 74. As such, the Director issued Executive
Order 6.2, which directed the newly created office of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel
to assimilate the contingents from the member systems into the Star Fleet Service. This
executive order effectively established the Star Fleet Division of Personnel.
In addition, Executive Order 6.2 also directed the Chief of Star Fleet Education to
establish the appropriate training programs for both the officers and enlisted personnel.
The Chief of Star Fleet Education commissioned a team to develop a training program
specifically for the new Star Fleet. It took the team about six calendar months or over
100,000 man-hours to develop the programs needed to quickly absorb the new forces into
the Star Fleet.
INITIAL FLEET MANNING
The initial manning of the fleet began in 2207 with forces from the five signatory worlds.
The first group consisted entirely of those persons who would form the initial Star Fleet
Officer Corps. This group was largely made up of active and retired officers from the old
Space Service and from the signatory forces. These individuals were sent to an interim
"Academy" that was created at an old military base in Alameda, California on Earth, and
were trained in the military arts and the newly developed customs and regulations of Star
Fleet.
The initial training of these officers took about nine months. Most of the junior officers that
graduated from the interim Academy became the instructors for all future officers and
enlisted personnel. The senior officers who graduated became the division chiefs of Star
Fleet Command and the senior commanders of the newly absorbed Operating Forces.
During this period Star Fleet training centers were also being built at the new System
Starbases constructed on the home worlds of the five signatory members, with the
exception of the planet Vulcan. These new training centers were completed just in time for
the newly graduated instructors to start training those Local Force members that were
absorbed into the Star Fleet Service.

6.2 STAR FLEET PERSONNEL

REQUIREMENTS
In this section the requirements, as stipulated in the Star Fleet Service Manual, will be
discussed. Directive 4 of Star Fleet Executive Order 6.2 instructed the Chief of Star
Fleet Personnel to assess the manpower needs of the Department of the Star Fleet
and if found inadequate, to initiate a program of recruitment and training. As part of this
effort the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel ordered the establishment of specific minimum
standards for admission into the Star Fleet Service. These standards were developed
and codified in the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel Manual (BUPERSMAN-392), also
known as the Star Fleet Service Manual.
EQUAL OPORTUNITY AND TREATMENT
All able-bodied citizens of the United Federation of Planets can join the Star Fleet
Service, provided they meet the minimum requirements for entry. As such, Star Fleet
does not discriminate against any sentient life-form that wishes to join the Service. As
Star Fleet Regulation 8930 states: “Equal opportunity and treatment shall be accorded
all persons in the Star Fleet Service irrespective of their race, color, religion, sex, or
planetary origin consistent with requirements for physical capabilities.” Though this
regulation essentially applies to individuals already in the Star Fleet, this regulation will
also apply to individuals who wish to join the Star Fleet and to those Service personnel
involved with the examination and evaluation of recruits. All individuals who wish to enter
the Star Fleet Service will be evaluated equally against the requirements established for
entrance into the Service.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Star Fleet has specific requirements for entry into the Service. These requirements,
established by the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards, are explicated in the
Star Fleet Service Manual or BUPERSMAN-392 and will be briefly discussed in the
subsequent sections of this chapter. The basic requirements for entry can be divided into
five categories:
1. Age,
2. Fitness,
3. Education,
4. Origination, and
5. Social/Criminal Record.
Each of these requirement types will be discussed in following pages. As mentioned in the
previous subsection, all persons entering the Star Fleet Service will be evaluated bases
upon these requirements.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
AGE REQUIREMENT
Star Fleet has a requirement regarding the age of applicants, which is dependent on the
world from which the applicant originates. Each social system within the Federation has
their own unique definition regarding the maturity of their youths. As such, Star Fleet
seeks young people with the maturity to endure the mental and physical stress of Star
Fleet duty. Therefore, Star Fleet requires that anyone entering the Service must be
equivalent in maturity to an eighteen-year-old Earth person. No person shall be admitted
into the Service if they do not meet this age/maturity requirement.
The only exception to the above rule concerns entrance into the Star Fleet Academy. It
is understood that there may be individuals, who by their mental abilities, could enter the
Academy at an earlier age than would be the norm[1]. However, such individuals cannot
fully enter active service, even upon successful completion of the Academy, until they
have reached the Star Fleet age requirement. In the case where an Academy cadet or
midshipman has not fulfilled the age requirement, that person will remain at the Academy
for duty until the age requirement was met. Typically, these individuals will become staff
or instructor’s aids with the rank of Temporary Ensign (ENST), and would not become a
fully commissioned officer until the age requirement was met.
FITNESS REQUIREMENTS
All applicants to the Star Fleet must meet various fitness requirements. Fitness not only
implies excellent physical conditioning, but mental ability as well.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
All prospective Star Fleet service members must be physically fit in order to endure the
physical hardships of long-term space travel. Primarily, this is measured through physical
tests and medical examinations, the standards of which are set by the Star Fleet Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). Minor physical endurance tests will be performed
during induction to determine the general physical fitness and stamina of the applicant.
Star Fleet Medical Officers will determine the overall physical health of the applicant
based upon the standards set by BUMED and the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel. In
addition, applicants will be tested to ensure that they are free of any disease prior to entry
into the Service. Star Fleet will not allow any applicant that is infected with any disease or
major physical ailment into the Service.
The height and weight of the individual is also a criterion for acceptance into the Service.
The weight of an applicant is typically an indication of the overall general health of the
individual. In addition, this requirement also serves a practical function as well. Aboard
most ships, and on most deep space stations, there are certain hatches and access ways
which may prevent or limit the individual from passing through in an efficient manner.
Therefore, body mass to stature requirements were established that were based upon the
normal physiology of persons from the applicant’s home world.
The height restriction was based upon the same principles as the weight restriction. That
is, the size of certain containment areas, or the physical access to such areas, within a ship
or station may be too restrictive for individuals to move about in. This is because Star
Fleet ships and stations are designed based upon such height restrictions. As such, Star
Fleet has placed a set a limitation on the height of applicants of two (2) meters.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
MENTAL HEALTH
The mental health and stability of an individual is very important considering that many
members of Star Fleet are assigned to long-term missions in deep space. Being confined
in a spaceship or outpost for long durations is stressful. Therefore, it is important that
persons entering the Star Fleet Service have the mental stamina to endure the stresses
of confinement for long periods in the depths of space.
Although there are no specific criteria to determine the mental health or stability of an
individual, applicants will be tested by Star Fleet psychologists to determine if there are
any underlying mental or social aberration. Such tests will vary depending on the culture
from which the applicant originated. The reason for the varied tests is because of the
dissimilar physical and structural makeup of the brains among the various worlds, which
generally result in completely different psyches and therefore, differing test conclusions.
Therefore, each social system within the Federation has their own unique criteria and
tests regarding the mental health of their citizens, which were adopted by Star Fleet.
These psychological tests are designed to root out any major mental stability issue. Also,
individuals that may be destined for space service will be tested even further. Such tests,
as designed by the Star Fleet Bureau of Mental Health, include simulations of stressful
situations, isolation and confinement. These tests will largely be performed on individuals
seeking space service, or service aboard Star Fleet ships.
It should be noted that as an individual progresses in their Star Fleet career, they may be
subject to other mental tests or simulations. Many of these tests are designed to reveal
how an individual will cope with command and the decisions they make regarding life and
death. Primarily, these tests are performed on individuals that are destined for command
duty, such as bridge officers onboard Star Fleet ships.
Other tests include an evaluation of an individual's social attitudes. Star Fleet has a zero
tolerance for individuals exhibiting or displaying intolerance for individuals different from
themselves. As such, tests are given to determine: a) the person’s view on alien cultures,
b) the individual’s reaction to alien life forms and c) any prejudices the person may have.
An examination committee will review the results of such tests to establish the suitability of
the individual to Star Fleet duty.
In addition to stability tests, applicants will also be tested for intellectual capacity as well.
Intelligence tests are administered, which are used in conjunction with the individual’s
educational attainment or technical skills. Modern Starships are complex machines, which
require individuals of sufficient intelligence to grasp the fundamentals and theories of their
operation and who can properly operate them. The criteria for such intelligence tests are
set by BUPERS and will be based upon the planetary origin of the applicant.
Enlisted applicants will also be tested for their suitability to specific occupations within the
Star Fleet Service. It is not expected that enlisted applicants have previous knowledge
of any system or technology used by Star Fleet. This knowledge will be taught to the
applicant during their initial training. However, Star Fleet will test applicants to determine
which occupation will best suit the capacity and talents of the applicant, and will compare
the results of such tests against the individual’s request to enter a specific occupation or
specialty. Officer candidates, however, do not take these tests, since they should already
possess a college degree and their expertise and profession has already been established.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Star Fleet has requirements regarding the educational level of applicants. Virtually every
job within the Service requires a high level of training. Individuals with only a rudimentary
education will not be accepted into the Service. Education, like age, is also dependent on
the world from which the applicant originates. Each social system has its own standards
regarding educational attainment and as such, applicants originating from such worlds will
be evaluated against those the standards.
The minimum education level for an unrated person entering the Star Fleet Service must
be equivalent to the successful completion of a secondary education with a Proficiency
Rating of 70% or higher. Enlisted applicants seeking a specialized (rated) field must have
at least two years of higher level technical education with a Proficiency Rating of 75%
or better. Star Fleet will also take into account any work experience the applicant may
have had. For some of the more technical rates, Star Fleet would like to have individuals
that are somewhat experienced within their technical field or that are experienced with the
technology they employ.
Individuals who wish to enter the Star Fleet Academy must have successfully completed
their secondary education with a Proficiency Rating of 90% or higher, or transfer from a
recognized and accredited institution into the Academy. The requirement for this program
is at least two years of higher education with a Proficiency Rating of 80% or better. It
should be noted that the requirements for entry into the Star Fleet Academy will be set
by the Star Fleet Division of Education and are not set by the Star Fleet Bureau of
Personnel. As such, entry into the Star Fleet Academy is entirely within the province of
the Education Division.
The Star Fleet Academy is a five-year program of military and technical training. Upon
completion of the Academy, graduates will usually be commissioned as an Ensign in the
Star Fleet Service. However, should a student fail to complete the Academy program,
that individual will still have an obligation to Star Fleet to fulfill. The student would then
have to complete basic training at a Recruit Training Center and once completed, the
individual would be sent to the fleet as any other enlisted person, but usually at a higher
rank based upon the time spent at the Academy.
Persons with a four-year college or university degree can apply to become an officer in the
Service. Such individuals would, after completing their entrance examinations, either go to
the Star Fleet Academy for military and Star Fleet training; or to one of the five system
training centers for Star Fleet Officer Training. The requirement for entry through this
program is that the individual must have successfully completed their degree in a discipline
recognized and preferred by Star Fleet, with a Proficiency Rating of 75% or better.
Upon the successful completion of officer training, they would generally be commissioned
as an Ensign in the Star Fleet Service, but could also be commissioned with a higher
rank depending on the number of years of experience within their area of specialization.
For example, an officer candidate with an advanced degree may be commissioned as a
Lieutenant Junior Grade. Another option for a college graduate would be to enter one
of the schools within the Academy in order to continue their education and specialize in
one of the many fields available to them. These individuals will usually be commissioned as
a Staff Corps Officer.

ORIGINATION REQUIREMENTS
Star Fleet also has requirements regarding the planetary origin of applicants. Basically,
this requirement states that anyone entering the Star Fleet Service must originate from
a world that is a member of the United Federation of Planets, or that has a delegate in
the Supreme Assembly. Persons entering the Service under this requirement will have
full privileges and will have unrestricted access or security clearances appropriate to their
job or position.
However, allowances are made for persons originating from worlds that are located within
Federation space, but that are not a member of the United Federation. In such cases
the applicant, if approved, may enter the Service, but will not be given high-level security
clearances as SECRET or TOP SECRET. As such, these persons may be restricted in the
type of work they can perform or the position they will hold within the Service until such
time as Star Fleet determines that the individual may be given a higher level of access or
be allowed to hold a high-level or sensitive position within the Service.
Individuals from worlds outside the boundaries of the Federation will not, in general, be
accepted into the Star Fleet Service. However, dispensations may be granted to foreign
citizens – especially to those that come from a world seeking entrance into the United
Federation. But under no circumstance will an applicant from a hostile world be accepted
into the Service.
Although Star Fleet Regulation 8930 specifically addresses equal treatment, the
origination requirement does not conflict with the regulation since 8930 basically applies
to persons already in Star Fleet, and does not apply to anyone outside the Service. In
any case, the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel will maintain a list of the worlds or social
systems from which applicants may be accepted.
CRIMINAL RECORD
Because of security considerations, Star Fleet has a requirement that applicants shall not
possess a criminal record. Having a criminal record is construed to mean that the individual
had been charged and convicted of a felony. Individuals with a record of minor offenses or
misdemeanors are not necessarily excluded from entering the Service. The Application
Review Committee will review such facts, along with the test results pertaining to the
other requirements to determine the individual’s suitability for Star Fleet Service.
The Star Fleet Investigative Service, a section within the Star Fleet Division of
Security, will perform background checks of all applicants. The first level of checks is
designed to seek-out any past criminal record and upon completion, the Investigative
Service will submit a report of their findings to the Application Review Committee. It
will be up to the review committee to determine the significance of any criminal record.
However, there may be special cases where an individual applying for Star Fleet Service
may be allowed to enter with a criminal record. Star Fleet Intelligence may recruit such
individuals because they may possess special skills. These individuals will only enter the
Service by request and only after an exhaustive investigation into their background. Also,
such individuals will not be trained at a Star Fleet Recruit Training facility, nor will they
enter the Service with the general recruit population. These individuals will be specially
trained at a Star Fleet Intelligence Training facility.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
ENTERING STAR FLEET SERVICE
Persons entering the Star Fleet Service can do so through several avenues:
 By enlisting into the Service

 Through the Star Fleet Academy
 Through the Star Fleet Reserves
 Being conscripted into service
 Being reactivated into service
ENLISTMENT
Enlistment is the method by which most individuals enter the Service, the established term
of the initial contract being six years. The individual will begin by completing an application
for service from the individual’s home visicomm system or at any Star Fleet recruiting or
shore facility. This application will be visually and verbally completed.
All Star Fleet shore facilities contain recruitment areas whereby an individual may “sign-
up” for service. These recruitment areas are private booths where an individual may sit
and relax while questions are being put to the applicant. While the information is being
gathered, a visual scan of the applicant is performed and checked against Federation and
Star Fleet databases in order to verify the applicant’s information. Any false information
may be cause for immediate rejection of the applicant. Such booths contain sensors that
measure body systems in order to establish the truthfulness of the responses or to reveal
any indication of evasiveness on the part of the applicant.
It should be noted that during the application process the applicant will have a background
security check performed by the Star Fleet Investigative Service. The first level is a
verification based upon the information gathered during the application process and to
check on any criminal record. The next level is that of interviewing the people listed by the
applicant as references; that is personal, educational and employment references are
interviewed during this process. For higher-level security clearances, the Investigative
Service will perform a more comprehensive look into the individual’s past.
If the applicant successfully completes the application process and meets all the initial
requirements, a written notification is sent to the applicant directing that person to report
to the nearest Star Fleet facility for medical and entrance examinations. In Federation
locations that do not have a convenient Star Fleet facility, passage will be made available
to the nearest Star Fleet station or an enlistment team of Star Fleet medical and other
personnel may be detailed to the medical facility of the applicant’s choice on his or her
home world. This process may take several weeks. If the applicant meets all the physical
and mental requirements the individual may be asked to report to a Star Fleet Recruit
Training facility at a specific date for induction, or may be immediately inducted into the
Service and will be transported to a Recruit Training facility by Star Fleet transport.
The specifics of recruit training will be covered in more detail in Chapter 8 of Volume III of
the Star Fleet Command Manual.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET ACADEMY
Application to the Star Fleet Academy will be performed in much the same way as with
normal enlistment, except that the application process will be performed primarily at the
applicant’s home. During this process, educational and other pertinent information will be
automatically sent to the Office of Admissions for review. The next stage of the process
involves taking the examinations for admission.
The examinations for entrance into the Academy can only be performed at a Star Fleet
shore facility. The examinations for entrance are somewhat grueling and diverse in subject
matter. The questions or problems asked during the general examination are somewhat
technical in nature and emphasize scientific and mathematical knowledge. This is because
most of the line officer graduates receive degrees in aerospace, propulsion or mechanical
engineering. However, the examinations for entry in the various Staff Corps will focus on
the specific area of specialization the applicant wishes to pursue, but applicants will still be
required to pass all other portions of the examination as well.
Active duty personnel can also transfer to the Academy from the fleet if recommended by
their Commanding Officer. This process begins with the enlisted person submitting a
request to their Commanding Officer (through the Executive Officer) indicating their
desire and intent to become a Star Fleet officer. The Commanding Officer will review
the service record of the applicant and along with the Executive Officer, either approve
or disapprove the request.
Upon approval by the Commanding Officer the applicant, if a member of a ship’s crew,
will be taken to the nearest Star Fleet shore facility to take the entrance examinations at
the earliest convenience of the command. That is, if the vessel is currently engaged in a
mission or operation the applicant must wait until there is sufficient time for the vessel to
travel to a nearby shore facility. However, applicants stationed at shore facilities can take
the entrance examinations at any time, but must do so at least three weeks before the
next Academy semester begins. In order to prevent an inequality in the number of ship
versus shore applicants, Star Fleet has established a quota on the number of applicants
from each branch. This quota was instituted since shore applicants have easier access to
examination facilities than do their ship counterparts.
In all of the above cases, entrance into the Academy will be based upon the number of
class openings and the overall size of the graduating class. Entrance is not guaranteed. All
individuals applying to the Academy will be notified of their acceptance. Individuals that
meet all the requirements, but did not make it into the next available class will be placed
onto a waiting list. This list is prioritized based upon previous academic achievement and
other factors. It is not a sequential list and is sized for a three year wait period. Even so,
there is no guarantee that an individual on the list will enter the Academy at all. If an
individual is not accepted or has been removed from the waiting list, he or she will be
notified of their status as such.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CONSCRIPTION
In times of war or Federation emergency Star Fleet is empowered to conscript eligible

citizens, if necessary, in order to maintain an effective force during such times. Citizens will
be conscripted from the general population, within proper age limits and other restrictions.
However, this power to conscript personnel into the Star Fleet Service can only be done
with authorized by the Federation Council and through the Military Staff Committee.
Star Fleet, on its own, does not have the authority to conscript personnel into service.
In most cases the conscription process is simpler than the enlistment process since the
individual has already been selected and as such, most of the personal information has
already been obtained. The conscripted individual will simply be requested to report to the
nearest Star Fleet facility for induction. At the induction center, the conscripted individual
will go through the examination process to verify eligibility before being sent to a Star
Fleet Recruit Training facility.
Along with conscription Star Fleet, with the approval of the Federation Council, may
require the merging of Local Forces into the Star Fleet in order to supplement its force
in accordance with Paragraph 5 of ARTICLE 2, and ARTICLES 43, 44, 45 and 49 of the
Articles of Federation. In such cases the Local Force personnel would become Star
Fleet personnel and as such, would wear similar uniforms, etc. As part of their induction,
Local Force conscripts would be dispatched to three weeks of training on Star Fleet
procedures and regulations. This is not the same as a combined force under a Star Fleet
Commander in Chief, but the temporary conscription of such a force into Star Fleet
service. However, when the emergency or situation is over these individuals would return
to their respective Local Force.
RESERVE REACTIVATION[2]
In addition to recruiting manpower, Star Fleet is charged with maintaining a Reserve

force as well. Should the situation exist that would require additional manpower, Star
Fleet has the authority to call into active service any individual currently having active or
inactive reserve status. Such reasons for reactivation may be:
1. Extreme necessity – the need for manpower during war time.

2. Low force size – the need to maintain an effective force size due to very low
enlistment.
3. Special needs – to reactivate experienced persons with specialized skills, especially
those skills that have long since been removed.
The priority in such instances will be to call upon active reservists first before reactivating
those with an inactive reserve status. The authority to reactivate Reserve personnel rests
with the Director: Star Fleet Command, along with the approval of the Federation
Council, and will be handled by the Star Fleet Bureau of Reserve Personnel. A
complete description of the reactivation process can be found in Volume III of the Star
Fleet Command Manual.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS
All applicants for Star Fleet service will be examined to ensure that they meet all the
minimum requirements for entry. The first step in the examination process is the medical
examination. This process is designed to weed-out those applicants that do not meet the
physical requirements.
Physical examinations start with a medical assessment of the applicant. Medical tests are
comprehensive and every aspect of the physical nature of the applicant will be scrutinized.
Blood and fluids are taken and tested for the overall chemical balance of the individual and
to reveal any diseases or maladies the applicant may have. Other medical examinations,
including non-invasive internal inspections, are performed to examine the health of internal
organs and the skeletal structure, eyesight, hearing, skin condition and general cleanliness.
Physical examinations are also performed to ascertain the general strength and stamina of
the applicant. Applicants may go through several physical exercises designed to stress the
body in order to check the body’s response to such activity. In addition, other physical
examinations are performed to check the overall coordination of the individual. Such tests
are performed to ascertain any neurological problems the applicant may have. All such
medical and physical examinations are performed by or under the supervision of qualified
Star Fleet Medical Officers and Medical Technicians from the Star Fleet Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery.
The next step is the mental examination. The mental examinations are of two types: a) to
determine the intellectual capacity and occupational aptitude of the applicant, and b) to
determine the sociability and mental stability of the applicant.
The intelligence aspect of the examination is designed to determine the suitability of the
applicant to the kind of work performed by Star Fleet personnel. Many of the occupations
within the Service are highly technical or scientific and require persons with the aptitude to
learn and master complex technologies and principles. The first level of this examination
will be to review the educational level of the applicant. Aptitude tests will be performed in
order to ascertain the level of educational attainment and problem-solving ability.
Other tests include an Occupational Suitability Test. This test is designed to determine
what type of specialty or occupation will best suit the applicant; whether it is in the field of
engineering and technology, medicine, clerical, social or other type of occupation within
the Service. These tests are basically directed towards enlisted personnel since officers are
college-degreed and already specialized.
The next stage is an interview with a certified Star Fleet psychologist. The psychologist’s
job is to probe the applicant to determine any underlying mental abnormality or social
problem. All such mental examinations will be performed by or under the supervision of
Star Fleet psychologists from the Star Fleet Bureau of Mental Health.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Maintenance requirements generally refer to the continuance of the physical and mental
fitness of persons serving in the Star Fleet Service. Physical fitness of persons in the
Service is encouraged, but not mandatory. All Star Fleet facilities, whether they are ships
or bases, contain areas and equipment designed to allow personnel to maintain their
physical fitness. Fully equipped gymnasiums are constructed within Star Fleet ships and
on all bases and stations for this purpose.
To ensure the physical and mental health of persons serving within Star Fleet mandatory
medical examinations are performed periodically. On Star Fleet ships, and on deep space
stations, the Chief Medical Officer of the command will perform these examinations
quarterly[3]. The Star Fleet Bureau of Medicine and Surgery established the frequency
of these examinations because of the long and stressful life aboard ships and stations in
deep space. As such, it is the responsibility of the Chief Medical Officer of the command
to certify that the personnel within the command are fit for duty. Should an individual fail
the examination the Chief Medical Officer will prescribe changes to the person’s diet,
activity schedule or require other adjustments to the individual’s work habits or lifestyle.
However, repeated failure of such examinations may result in reassignment to a shore
facility for a period of time or permanently.
On Star Fleet shore facilities such as Starbases, the examinations are performed yearly.
Repeated failures of such examinations may result in the discharge of the individual from
the Star Fleet Service. Therefore, it behooves members of the Star Fleet Service to
maintain their overall physical and mental fitness.
Dependents of active-duty Star Fleet personnel are not required to submit to any medical
examination, but can do so at any time at an authorized facility. Dependents may take full
advantage of Star Fleet medical personnel and facilities for routine examinations, general
medicine and emergencies, or for specialized care as required under Paragraph b, ARTICLE
55 of the Star Fleet Charter. Also, dependents may, if they so choose, utilize their own
personal physician for general medical purposes or they may use private medical facilities,
so long as the Star Fleet Division of Medicine has approved the facility. However, Star
Fleet will not reimburse dependents for services rendered by non-approved facilities or
physicians.
Maintenance requirements also includes keeping up with one's job skills. This implies that
all persons in the Service should keep their skills up to date if they wish to advance. That
is, as technology advances and new equipment and systems are refitted into ships and
stations, so too must the technician learn new things. As such, Star Fleet maintains many
Training Centers located throughout the Federation designed to keep personnel up to
date on the latest technology, process or procedure.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES[4]
Aside from active-duty personnel, the Department of the Star Fleet also employs
civilian personnel as well. Civilian employees include not only those that work within Star
Fleet divisions, but also the general labor force that may be hired at the various System
Bases located on the home worlds of the signatory members.
In addition, civilian employees also include contractors needed for a specific purpose. They
may be employed as experts or specialists in some area of expertise, work on a specific
Star Fleet ship system, as a consultant to a Star Fleet Commander or may work on
specific projects.
As a general rule, only Federation citizens will be accepted for employment within the
Department. However, there may be exceptions regarding employment at outlying Star
Fleet stations. This exception is primarily due to the fact that some Star Fleet stations
are too far from many of the home worlds of the Federation to employ citizens and that
Star Fleet, depending on the position, are not required to pay for the worker’s passage to
the facility. Therefore, local civilian personnel may have to be employed, though they are
not citizens of the Federation. Such non-Federation personnel will not be placed in any
position of responsibility that could affect the safety and security of the installation, or of
the Federation as a whole. Most such individuals are usually contracted to run civilian
concessions that are housed within some of the outlying stations, or hired to perform the
general maintenance of the facility.
Civilians who wish to work for the Department of the Star Fleet (non-military service)
may do so by filling out an employment application for a civilian position. The application
process is similar to the enlistment process described earlier, but that the questions asked
will be tailored to civilian positions. Individuals applying for civilian Star Fleet positions
will be interviewed, which may be done either in person or remotely via visicomm, or by
some other visual communication method.
As with service personnel the Star Fleet Investigative Service will perform security
inquiries on civilian applicants, especially for the more sensitive positions. As with Service
personnel, Star Fleet will issue appropriate security clearances to all civilian employees of
the Department.
Physical fitness checks are not generally performed on civilian applicants, relying primarily
on information obtained during the application process. However, a thorough medical
examination may be required for certain job or position requirements. But on average, a
cursory medical examination will be performed to ascertain the general state of health of
the applicant, primarily for insurance purposes.

6.3 SOURCE OF STAR FLEET PERSONNEL

In this section the sources of Star Fleet personnel will be discussed. Initially, the sources
for Star Fleet personnel came from the signatory worlds of the Articles of Federation
as this was a requirement for forming the United Federation of Planets, as stated in
ARTICLE 43: “All members of the United Federation in obligation to the maintenance of
interplanetary peace and security, agree to make available, on call of the Federation
Council, armed forces, assistance, and facilities, including rights of passage, necessary for
the maintenance of interplanetary peace and security.” As such, any world that wishes to
join the United Federation must provide some form of support to Star Fleet, whether it
is in the form of equipment, personnel or services.
The distribution of the forces originally assimilated into the Star Fleet is illustrated in the
chart below. This chart illustrates the percent make up of the total Star Fleet force from
the signatory worlds at the time the Star Fleet Service was created. As seen, the bulk of
Star Fleet's force was provided by Earth.

After the initial force was created, the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel, in accordance with
Paragraph 4 of Star Fleet Executive Order 6.2, set out to assess the manpower needs
of the Star Fleet and began a program of recruitment that would bring the Service up to
the required force level needed to make it effective. Thus, the Star Fleet Office of Force
Planning was created and tasked with developing the long-range plans for the future size
of Star Fleet.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Currently, the primary sources of Star Fleet personnel are the many worlds that compose
the United Federation of Planets. However, the majority of the personnel who enter
the Service come from Earth, Mars and the colonies on Alpha Centauri. The primary reason
for this appears to be the proclivity for adventure that is part of the psychological makeup
of Earth humans. This is the main reason why most ships of the Star Fleet are manned
by human beings.
The chart below presents the average distribution of the personnel from the various worlds
of the Federation that comprise the Star Fleet. As the chart shows, the majority of the
personnel that make up the Star Fleet Service are essentially of human origin[5].

indication of the loyalty and the desire to remain a member of the Star Fleet Service.

6.4 RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION

The organization responsible for managing all the personnel serving or employed by the
Department of the Star Fleet is the Star Fleet Division of Personnel, the structure
of which can be found in Figure 1a64.1. This figure shows all the primary bureaus and
offices within the division. A more complete description of the Personnel Division can be
found in Section 8.1 of this volume and in Chapter 1 of Volume III of the Star Fleet
Command Manual.
Figure 1a64.2 shows the top-most level of the Star Fleet Division of Personnel. At the
head of the division is the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel, the senior military officer of
the division as required under Star Fleet Regulation 2600. A complete description of
the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel may be found in Chapter 2 of Volume III of the Star
Fleet Command Manual. In addition, the functions of the chiefs of each bureau and
office within the Personnel Division will also be described in detail in Section 4.5 of this
volume and in Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual. At this moment only the
Chief of Star Fleet Personnel will be discussed.
The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel (CPER) is the senior military officer in charge of all
activities regarding the recruitment, qualification, welfare and ranking of all persons within
the Star Fleet. The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel is an officer of the line (SFC) junior
to the Director and Vice Director, and typically have the rank of Admiral. The CPER is
 Determining the manpower needs of the Department of the Star Fleet in

accordance with ARTICLE 17 of the Star Fleet Charter
 Procuring the materials and equipment required to equip Star Fleet personnel
 The distribution and assignment of all personnel within the Star Fleet
 Basic training and indoctrination of all inducted recruits and hired civilian personnel
 Maintaining the records of all personnel within the Star Fleet
 Establishing complements and allowances for all activities within the Star Fleet
 Supervising the welfare, promotion, discipline, discharge and retirement of all
personnel within the Star Fleet
Within the office of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel is the Personnel Chief of Staff,
whose function it is to coordinate the work assigned to the various bureau commanders by
the CPER. In addition, and convened by the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel, is the Flag
Officers Review Board, which reviews and selects candidate officers for promotion into
the admiralty and as Star Fleet division directors. The persons that come under direct
authority of the CPER are the various division chiefs, which are:
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Force Planning and Allocation,

Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Personnel Materiel and Supply,
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Personnel Disbursement,
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Reserves,
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Veterans, and
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
PERSONNEL CHIEF OF STAFF
The Personnel Chief of Staff (PERCS) is a position created within the Office of the
Chief of Star Fleet Personnel for the purpose of supervising and coordinating the work
of the staff assigned to the CPER. The PERCS is an officer junior to the Chief of Star
Fleet Personnel, and will typically have the rank of Vice Admiral. This grade level was
established following the guidelines set forth in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation
3810 regarding an officer detailed as "Chief Staff Officer." In this capacity the PERCS
is second in command within the Personnel Division and therefore, the orders issued by
the PERCS have the same authority as if they were issued by the CPER.
BUREAU AND OFFICE COMMANDERS
The Star Fleet Division of Personnel is divided into bureaus and offices specifically
designed to handle the major functions of the Star Fleet Division of Personnel. These
offices are:
Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel,

Star Fleet Office of Force Planning,
Star Fleet Office of Personnel Materiel and Supply,
Star Fleet Office of Personnel Disbursement,
Star Fleet Bureau of Reserve Personnel, and
Star Fleet Bureau of Veterans Affairs.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel (BUPERS) is the largest organization under the
Star Fleet Division of Personnel. This organization handles all the activities regarding
the administration and discipline of Star Fleet service and civilian personnel employed by
the Department of the Star Fleet. BUPERS is headed by the Deputy Chief: Star
Fleet Bureau of Personnel or CSFP, who will typically have the rank of Vice Admiral.
The persons that come under direct authority of the CSFP are:
Commander: Bureau of Service Personnel,

Commander: Bureau of Alien Personnel,
Commander: Bureau of Civilian Personnel,
Commander: Star Fleet Personnel Training,
Commander: Star Fleet Personnel Records, and
Commander: Star Fleet Personnel Standards.
A more detailed description of the division and its commanders can be found in Volume III
of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CIVILIAN ASSISTANTS
The office of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel also contains several civilian assistants
responsible for helping the CPER interact with civilian Federation authorities and other
government or civilian officials regarding the recruitment and conscription of personnel,
and the negotiation of labor contracts. In addition, civilian assistants will also be used for
the management of the civilian workforce employed within the Department of the Star
Fleet. That is, many of the civilians working for Star Fleet will be managed by civilian
managers and not directly by Star Fleet officers. However, there will be certain civilians
that may be supervised directly by Star Fleet personnel, and all civilian managers will
always be under the cognizance of a Star Fleet officer.

6.5 AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This section will provide a brief description of the authority and responsibilities of the
divisions tasked with establishing and maintaining an effective force; primarily, the Star
Fleet Division of Personnel and the Star Fleet Division of Education. The authority,
responsibilities and mission of these divisions were given to them by the Director: Star
Fleet Command under ARTICLE 17 of the Star Fleet Charter.
In order to fulfill its mission and to maintain an effective force, Star Fleet was authorized
to directly recruit and train eligible and qualified personnel into the Service under ARTICLE
17 of the Charter. Therefore, in order to carry out this function, the Star Fleet Division
of Personnel was created and tasked with this responsibility, and was given the authority
to establish the standards and requirements for entry into the Service, to establish and
maintain the standards of performance and discipline within the Department, to recruit and
maintain qualified individuals, and establish the standards for pay, promotion and welfare
throughout the Department of the Star Fleet.
In addition, Star Fleet also has an obligation and a responsibility to ensure that its force
is fully trained and qualified to efficiently execute their duties. As such, Star Fleet created
an extensive training and certification program at all levels, under the cognizance of the
Star Fleet Division of Education. As part of this obligation Star Fleet also established
the Star Fleet Academy for the training of its officer corps.
The Star Fleet Division of Education also manages the many Fleet Training Centers
that are spread out across the Federation. The function of these commands is to provide
focused and specific training on particular ship and base systems and equipment, thereby
providing technical personnel with comprehensive knowledge of Star Fleet equipment as
required under ARTICLE 56 of the Charter. In addition, these training centers also provide
the necessary schools and classes whereby personnel can earn college credits towards a
bachelor’s degree or higher, where enlisted personnel may become commissioned officers,
or where officers can receive advanced education, or become Commanding Officers.
In times of war, crisis or galactic emergency Star Fleet is empowered to conscript, if

necessary, eligible citizens in order to maintain an effective force. If needed, citizens will
be conscripted from the general population, but within the proper entrance requirements.
However, the conscription of citizens by Star Fleet can only be accomplished by order of
the Federation Council. Star Fleet is not empowered to conscript individuals by its own
authority. Along with conscription Star Fleet, through the Military Staff Committee,
may require the integration of Local Forces into the Star Fleet under a unified command
structure in order to supplement its force in accordance with Paragraph 5 of ARTICLE 2,
and ARTICLES 43, 44, 45 and 49 of the Articles of Federation.
In addition to recruiting manpower, Star Fleet is also required to maintain a Reserve

Force. The Reserve Force can be defined as former Star Fleet Service personnel that
still have a contractual obligation to serve, but are no longer on active duty. This does not
include retired members of the Service whose service obligation has been fulfilled. Should
the situation exist that would require additional manpower, Star Fleet has the authority to
call into active service any individual currently in active or inactive Reserve status, but
only after the approval by or at the direction of the Federation Council.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Star Fleet is also responsible for the health and welfare of persons within the Service as
required under ARTICLE 55 of the Charter. As such, Star Fleet is tasked with fostering the
morale of its members, and to develop and strengthen the physical, mental, moral and
spiritual well being of all its personnel. This particular responsibility falls directly upon the
Star Fleet Division of Personnel.
Fostering high morale within the Service includes providing personnel with recreational
facilities and support. Such recreational support may include areas where personnel can
work on their hobbies or to simply relax. As such, Star Fleet bases and stations maintain
services such as machine shops and equipment where personnel can pursue their off duty
activities. In addition, Star Fleet bases and stations will also maintain such other facilities
whereby personnel can socialize or engage in activities such as sports and games. This
task falls within the responsibility of the Star Fleet Office of Special Services, an office
within the Personnel Division created for this purpose.
The welfare of Star Fleet personnel also includes housing. Star Fleet personnel, when
not on patrol, may maintain off-base or private housing for themselves and their families.
And where personnel might not own their own home, Star Fleet will provide some form
of housing or provide assistance in obtaining housing for its military personnel. The Star
Fleet Office of Personnel Housing is responsible for all the housing needs of Service
personnel and their dependents. As such, this office will allocate or construct housing for
Service personnel, and will also provide assistance in obtaining permanent housing for its
members.
The morale and welfare of Star Fleet personnel extends to their families as well. In
providing for the health and welfare of the families of Service personnel, Star Fleet is
fostering the morale of its personnel. Therefore, Star Fleet makes every effort to provide
for the families of military personnel – especially when personnel are on patrol or stationed
out in deep space. The function of providing for the families of Service personnel will be
the responsibility of the Star Fleet Office of Dependent Services, which will provide
dependents of Service personnel with such needed services as health care, education and
job assistance.
To aid in fostering high morale within the Service, Star Fleet provides Chaplains for the
spiritual well being of its personnel. Chaplains are stationed throughout the fleet and on
every Star Fleet base. However, in the case of ships and deep-space stations, Chaplains
may not normally be available. Therefore, Lay Persons may be recruited among the crew
to perform the role of Chaplain. Such Lay Persons may perform some aspects of religious
services, but they are not ordained to perform all the functions that are conferred upon a
trained Chaplain, as required by the Star Fleet Bureau of Chaplains and Lay Persons.
In any case, all Star Fleet ships and facilities will have a chapel, church or some area
assigned specifically for religious services, and where personnel can practice their religious
beliefs, or to simply meditate.
The Personnel Division is also responsible for supplying and equipping personnel. Such
supplies include uniforms, badges, insignias, bedding, toiletry and other personal items.
Such personal items can be broken-down into two categories: military and personal. The
military items include all the items needed to perform the duties to which personnel are
assigned in the manner befitting Star Fleet. That is, providing personnel with Star Fleet
uniforms, the badges of rank and service, bedding or other items required for the comfort
of the individual while on duty, and all the equipment, tools and anything else required to
efficiently perform their jobs.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
Personal items comprise toiletry, health or other items required by personnel for their
personal hygiene, comfort and morale will be provided or made easily available by the
Personnel Division, specifically the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Materiel and
Supply. In addition, the opportunity to purchase civilian clothing, jewelry and other non-
essential items while on duty in deep space will also be made available by the Personnel
Division. The Personnel Division will supply operating commands with personal items,
even on Star Fleet vessels, to a limited extent, through the Star Fleet Office of Special
Services.
Most importantly, the Division of Personnel is directly responsible for the pay of all
personnel, military and civilian, within the Department. The division establishes the pay
grades, pay scales and salaries, subject to the approval of the Federation Council. The
division will ensure that all personnel are properly paid and will handle any disbursements
of pay to designated persons, organizations, or creditors. This aspect is very important
since a majority of personnel may be assigned to deep-space missions for long periods of
time and as such, may not be able to handle their debts or pay their bills. This function
also helps in fostering the morale of Service personnel since they need not be concerned
that their financial obligations are not being attended to.
Lastly, the Personnel Division is directly responsible for the promotion process of all
Star Fleet personnel. The Personnel Division establishes the criteria for advancement
and promotion, as well as the ratings and classifications of all Star Fleet personnel. This
division also established and maintains the Star Fleet Officer Corps for the delegation of
authority to subordinates in the performance of their duties, to set the precedence and
succession of commissioned officers, and to instill in its officers a sense of honor and virtue
within the Service as required under ARTICLE 47 of the Charter.

6.6 PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism within the Department of the Star Fleet is very important since the
people within Star Fleet are essentially public servants responsible for the defense of the
Federation. The citizens must rely on its military to defend them against foreign invaders,
from lawlessness and anything else that would destroy the principles of freedom and the
freedom of the citizens as guaranteed by the Articles of Federation. In addition, Star
Fleet, as a military organization, is responsible for the lives of its military personnel as well
as of the civilian population as a whole. Professionalism within Star Fleet, therefore, is
required in order to maintain an effective fighting force and to demonstrate to the public
that its military can be trusted to uphold the principles on which the Federation was
founded.
In this section a general discussion of professionalism and leadership will be presented.

Professionalism, as defined by Star Fleet, is the adherence and commitment to ones duty
in a manner appropriate to ones profession. As such, in performing ones duty or work, the
individual should demonstrate knowledge of their field of specialty; demonstrate attention
and zeal in their work and to do so in a cheerful and positive manner; to exhibit integrity in
all ones doing, which means to be honest and upright; and finally, to be wholly truthful in
all one’s actions and words.
As stated earlier, commitment is another important aspect of professionalism. Commitment

is the dedication to ones job or profession, to one’s duty, and to serve the standards of the
unit, Star Fleet, and the Federation. Another aspect of professionalism is initiative, or
the ability, or presence of mind, to take action in the absence of any clearly defined order.
It means doing something on one’s own and not just when it is ordered. Therefore, it is
expected that members of the Star Fleet Service will take the initiative when dealing
with unknown situations.
Professionalism is generally exhibited through the conduct of the members of the Star
Fleet Service. All the above aspects of professionalism can be observed through the
conduct of the personnel within the Star Fleet Service, and Star Fleet expects all its
personnel to display such characteristics of professionalism at all times.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CONDUCT
The way in which Star Fleet is perceived by the general public is directly related to the
conduct of its personnel. As such, it is important that members of the Star Fleet Service
exhibit appropriate conduct at all times, which is an important aspect of professionalism.
Therefore, all members of the Department of the Star Fleet shall conduct themselves
in a professional manner. Star Fleet has specific regulations regarding the conduct of its
members. Specifically, Star Fleet Regulation 8130 requires that all persons within the
Star Fleet Service “show in themselves a good example of subordination, courage, zeal,
sobriety, neatness and attention to duty.”
The rules and regulations regarding conduct are contained within the Star Fleet Code of
Conduct manual (BUPERSMAN-336.) This manual is required reading and study for all
new members entering the Service. Classes in the code are performed during recruit
training and during the freshman year at the Star Fleet Academy as required by Star
Fleet Regulation 8610.
Enforcement of the Code of Conduct, and professionalism in general, is placed upon the
Commanding Officer of the command as required by Star Fleet Regulation 8120.
This regulation states that “All Commanding Officers and others in authority in the Star
Fleet Service are required to show in themselves a good example of virtue, honor,
patriotism, and subordination; to be vigilant in inspecting the conduct of all persons who
are placed under their command; to guard against and suppress all dissolute and immoral
practices, and to correct, according to the laws and regulations of the Star Fleet, all
persons who are guilty of them; and to take all necessary and proper measures, under the
laws, regulations, and customs of the Star Fleet Service, to promote and safeguard the
morale, the physical well-being, and the general welfare of the officers and technicians
under their command or charge.” Therefore, it is incumbent upon all officers to lead by
example. Generally speaking, the responsibility for the enforcement of the Code of
Conduct will typically be delegated to the command’s Executive Officer, being the chief
personnel officer for the command. However, it is everyone's responsibility within Star
Fleet to read, understand and adhere to the Code.
MILITARY DISCIPLINE
Professionalism within any military organization demands discipline on the part of its
members. Military discipline, therefore, is the prompt and effective performance of duty in
response to lawful orders as required under Star Fleet Regulation 8140, or taking the
right action in the absence of orders. A disciplined unit drives itself to do its duty in any
situation. In addition, a well-disciplined group of service personnel is a group which has
the correct attitude. They are willing to follow orders because they believe in what they
are doing and because they feel a sense of trust from their leaders. Such units will, as a
rule, behave in a military manner and take pride in their work, their ship or their station,
and are ready to fight bravely in defense of the Federation.
Star Fleet commissioned and non-commissioned officers are trained in the techniques
and methods of good military discipline. They ensure that the official standards and
regulations governing behavior are established and strengthened by setting high, but
realistic, standards in all things that relate to the success of their unit, whether it is in
training, in their work, or in battle conditions. As such, they exhibit leadership. Therefore,
good military discipline can only be achieved through effective leadership.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
LEADERSHIP
The Star Fleet profession is an honorable one, which has traditionally commanded the
respect of the entire Federation. The Star Fleet Service has long been distinguished for
the high quality of its officers and technicians, which can be demonstrated by the success
of Star Fleet’s leadership training program.
Leadership, as defined by Star Fleet, is the art of accomplishing the missions assigned to
its personnel, and the process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing
purpose, direction, and motivation. The foundation for anyone in a leadership position to
induce others in the accomplishment of the mission is trust. If the team cannot trust their
leaders, they will not follow them. Without such trust on the part of the team the individual
in the leadership position would be ineffectual. Effective leadership, therefore, must be
based on personal example, good management practices, and moral responsibility.
All members of the Star Fleet Service are expected to exhibit and exercise leadership in
whatever they do. This is a requirement under Star Fleet Regulation 8120. Leadership,
therefore, not only applies to individuals in command or in a leadership position, but also
by persons in non-leadership positions as well. In this instance leadership is exhibited by
demonstrating initiative.
The challenge to Star Fleet is to continuously improve leadership. As such, the Director
created a specific general order vis-à-vis leadership – General Order 18. The function of
this general order is to ensure that personnel are being trained in leadership principles and
that the appropriate leadership standards are being practiced. General Order 18 was
essentially issued to all commanders, but will also apply to anyone in a leadership position.
Leadership, therefore, was so important that the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel was
tasked with issuing special directives designed to carry-out the intent, and to achieve the
objectives of General Order 18.
With regard to General Order 18 every command within the Operating Forces and the
Shore Establishment, as well as every office or bureau within the Department of the
Star Fleet is required to review, on a regular basis, its standards of personal leadership to
ensure that those in responsible positions are discharging their duties in accordance with
Star Fleet Regulations 8120 and 8130. In addition, all units in the Operating Forces
and the Shore Establishment are required to integrate into their training programs both
the technical and moral principles and practices of leadership.
To ensure compliance with General Order 18, the Star Fleet Inspector General is
tasked with regularly examining the state of leadership within Star Fleet commands and
to report to the appropriate unit commander evidence of leadership that is both markedly
superior to accepted standards, and decidedly inferior. Commanders receiving favorable
reports should make appropriate positive notations on the record of the officer or officers
responsible. In the event that unfavorable reports are received, corrective action must be
initiated and completed. In such situations commanders must establish and submit a
program of improvement, in writing, to the Star Fleet Inspector General.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
MORAL RESPONSIBILITY
Effective leadership, appropriate conduct and professionalism all require a certain degree
of moral responsibility. Moral responsibility basically means the complete observance of
Interplanetary Law and generally recognized ethical principles by all members of the Star
Fleet Service. Moral responsibility, therefore, can be demonstrated by performing one’s
work honestly, and living up to the rules and regulations set down by higher authority.
Moral responsibility also means that members of the Service have a sense of duty and
responsibility to other members of the Service, as well as to the Federation as a whole.
All members of the Service are trained to be unselfish. That is, placing the comfort and
advancement of others ahead of one's own and not to achieve at the expense of others.
This principle promotes trust and a feeling of dependability among the members of any
unit, which is very important during prolonged duty in deep space.
Being dependable also implies that individuals will know that their peers will perform their
duties in a proper manner, that individuals will help each other out, and in the eyes of
superiors, is a quality or trait that is of the utmost importance. If a superior issues an order
to accomplish a mission, that superior needs to be sure that it will be completed. This is
the essence of moral responsibility.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
6.7 WORK ENVIRONMENT

This section will provide a brief description of the general work environment within the
Star Fleet Service. In general, the Department of the Star Fleet is determined to
make the work environment within the department as pleasant and as professional as
possible. This implies an environment free from discrimination, abuse or unnecessary
mental stress and one that is open to trust, confidence and high morale. As such, the
attitudes and principles of good crewmanship will be shaped within the individual during
recruit or Star Fleet Academy training.
Besides equal opportunity and treatment, Star Fleet will also provide an atmosphere of
trust and comfort, free from discrimination. This commitment is exemplified and codified in
Star Fleet Regulations. Specifically, Star Fleet Regulation 8930 which states that
“Equal opportunity and treatment shall be accorded all persons in the Star Fleet Service
irrespective of their race, color, religion, sex, or planetary origin consistent with
requirements for physical capabilities.”
Professional behavior significantly contributes to the overall work environment and morale
of Star Fleet personnel. The attitude of all individuals within Star Fleet will add to the
individual’s overall work experience within the Service. Should the attitude of any person
within the Service cause the morale of the unit to suffer, then it is the responsibility of the
individual’s senior, or the Executive Officer, to sit down and discuss the issue with the
problem individual. As a result, the senior and the individual would establish a plan to
correct the cause of such attitudes. If this should fail, then the individual may be relieved
from duty, reassigned to another unit or command, or discharged from the Service. Star
Fleet cannot afford to have commands or units with dysfunctional command structures –
especially at the outer rim of Federation space.
The principles of good work environment will also apply to the civilian workforce as well.
All Star Fleet employees have the right to work in an environment free of any type of
harassment and discrimination. As such, the Department created the Star Fleet Office of
Employee Relations. This office essentially handles the relations between management
and the civilian workforce. However, this office will also handle the relations between the
civilian and military population within the Department as well.
In general, it will be the Star Fleet Office of Employee Relations that will handle any
disputes between individuals or between an individual and management. This office has
created a mechanism for investigating and resolving employment related concerns in a
reasonable, timely, and fair manner. In addition, this office also sponsors the Employee
Relations Index, which provides civilian employees with the opportunity to voice their
opinions on key areas such as accountability, communication, career development and
workplace environment. For complete information regarding employee relations, consult
Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
PHYSICAL WORK ENVIRONMENT
Work environment also includes the physical surroundings as well. As such, Star Fleet will
make every effort to ensure the physical comfort of its personnel in the performance of
their duties, as well as providing pleasant surroundings. This is particularly important for
work efficiency and highly important for the general morale of the people working for the
Department - especially those that must work on Star Fleet ships and out on deep space
stations.
To promote high morale through a pleasant work environment, Star Fleet ships and
space stations are designed to maximize their comfort within the confines of the vessel.
Design features such as bulkhead and deck colors, overhead lighting, and in some cases,
background sounds are considered when designing and building Star Fleet ships and
stations. Ship and station corridors are made wide to prevent claustrophobia, and where
possible, as much privacy as possible is accorded to ship and station quarters. In addition,
ships and stations are designed with recreation areas where off-duty crewmembers can
socialize and participate in play. Play is an important factor in the overall mental health
and stability of any crew shut up in deep space for long periods.
Personnel working out in deep space, whether onboard a ship or at an outpost, are given
more freedom regarding their personal surroundings. Personnel are allowed to personalize
their quarters in order to give them a sense of feeling at home, particularly on ships that
are on a five-year mission cycle. However, they are constrained in the amount of personal
curios due to space limitations. Personnel assigned to deep space stations are allowed a bit
more freedom to personalize their quarters since they have much more room than those
assigned to ships.
Psychologically speaking, the men and women who crew Star Fleet ships and stations are
no more independent of their cultures and environment than the ship or station is of its
technology. That is, the people that man ships and stations are going to take their culture
with them wherever they go. Therefore, the design of the work environment must take
into consideration the cultural makeup of ship and station crews.
Star Fleet will generally staff ships and stations with people of the same planetary origin.
It is a well-established fact that ships and stations that are manned by people of the same
origin work much better together than with a completely heterogeneous mixture of races –
especially during long durations of space flight or confined to stations for long periods of
time. In addition, this principle has a practical aspect as well since many of the races
within the Federation require differing environmental conditions. There simply cannot be
a single system that can satisfy the environmental needs of multiple, varied races within a
single vessel.
In addition, equipment design also plays a large role in the work environment. Every effort
is made to design control panels, actuators, switches and computer displays for ease of
use and effectiveness in comprehending the information presented by such displays. As
such, ergonomics plays an important role in the overall comfort and work environment of
the persons serving Star Fleet. Standards for ergonomics are used to design Star Fleet
vessels and equipment. These standards are described in more detail in Part 1 of Volumes
V and VII of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

6.8 STAR FLEET CODE OF CONDUCT[6]

The Star Fleet Code of Conduct was created by the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel
to set forth the standards of conduct and ethical behavior for all persons serving within the
Department of the Star Fleet. Adherence to this code is required of all Service persons,
all civilian employees, consultants and other representatives of the Department of the
Star Fleet.
Training in the Code of Conduct is required under Star Fleet Regulation 8610 for all
Service personnel. Civilians employed by the Department are trained in the code during
their new hire orientation classes, and a copy of the code will be issued to all employees
during orientation. In addition to initial training, periodic instruction on the code will also
be performed throughout an individual’s career within Star Fleet.
The Star Fleet Code of Conduct was originally created in 2209. It was intended as a
short-hand version of Star Fleet Regulations to be carried by all Service personnel.
However, as more civilian personnel were being employed by the Department, it became
necessary to revise the code to handle the special situations regarding civilian personnel.
As such, the code was revised in 2213 and has remained in its current form since. It is
presented here in its entirety.

VOICING CONCERNS
Should any aspect of the Code be unclear or there are issues or concerns regarding any
aspect of this Code, it should be brought to the attention of Star Fleet. Service
personnel should report such concerns to their immediate superior officer. Superiors
receiving such concerns or issues shall address them in a timely manner, and if need
be, submit such concerns or issues to the Star Fleet Inspector General. Civilian
personnel in the employment of the Department of the Star Fleet should report such
concerns or issues to their immediate supervisor or manager. Supervisors receiving
such concerns or issues shall address them by consulting their immediate Star Fleet
superior or submit them to the Star Fleet Inspector General.
RETALIATION
No one within the Department of the Star Fleet should be discouraged from using any
available channel to voice their concern or to report any violation. Therefore, anyone
who retaliates against another member of the Department of the Star Fleet for
reporting known or suspected violations of this Code or any other regulation, policy or
directive is in violation of this Code. Star Fleet Service personnel engaged in such
retaliation are in violation of Star Fleet Regulation 8160 and may be subject to courts-
martial. Civilian employees who retaliate are subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including dismissal.

7.0 STAR FLEET STANDARDS

This chapter will present some of the standards used throughout the Federation and the
Department of the Star Fleet. In accordance with ARTICLE 12 of the Charter, Star
Fleet was given the authority to establish whatever standards or regulations would be
required for the uniform and consistent operation of the Department. As such, the Star
Fleet Bureau of Standards (BUSTAND) was established as the central authority for the
creation, application, maintenance and enforcement of such standards.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards, which is a subdivision within the Star Fleet
Bureau of Records, has the responsibility of developing and maintaining the standards
used throughout Star Fleet. In addition to the standards, BUSTAND is also charged with
maintaining Star Fleet Regulations.
The standards themselves can be found in the manuals published by the Star Fleet
Bureau of Standards numbered BUSTAND-XXXX. The following table lists some of the
more important manuals published by BUSTAND. These standards can easily be retrieved
and viewed on any Library-Computer system within Star Fleet.

BUREAU OF STANDARDS ORGANIZATION
At the time the Department of the Star Fleet was created a committee was formed to
establish the seals, flags and general symbols for the department. Once created, this
committee was expanded to include the development of all standards to be used by the
Department. Eventually, this committee became the permanent Star Fleet Bureau of
Standards (BUSTAND).
The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards is separately organized, under the Star Fleet
Bureau of Records, as shown in Figure 1a70.1, to establish and maintain the standards
used by Star Fleet, and is divided into the various offices needed to carry out the duties
for which the bureau is responsible. These offices, as illustrated in Figure 1a70.2, are listed
below. In addition, a more detailed description of these offices can be found in Section 8.1
of this volume.
 Office of Fleet Standards

 Office of Technology Standards
 Office of Safety Standards
 Office of Medical and Health Standards
 Office of Weights and Measures
 Office of Instruments and Calibration
 Office of Measurement and Calibration Services
 Office of Standards Conformance
 Star Fleet Testing Laboratory
At the top of this organization is the Deputy Chief: Bureau of Star Fleet Standards
(CSTD), the senior officer responsible for the development and maintenance of Star Fleet
standards. The Deputy Chief: Bureau of Star Fleet Standards is responsible to the
Chief of Star Fleet Records for:
a. Developing, maintaining and enforcing Star Fleet standards, and

b. Maintaining Star Fleet Regulations.
The CSTD will typically be an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CREC, and will have
the rank of Commodore. Under the CSTD are the various commanders of the sections
needed to carry out the duties of the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards (BUSTAND).
These officers, shown on Figure 1a70.3, are:
 The Commander: Fleet Standards

7.1 STAR FLEET BASIC STANDARDS

In this section the basic standards (the units of measure) used by Star Fleet and the
Federation will be discussed. In general, the United Federation of Planets had
adopted as its unit of measure Earth’s Systeme Internationale or SI system[1]. This is
the standard metric system that was originally adopted on Earth in 1889, and is still in use
today.
The SI standard is based upon a decimal system of base 10, which includes a standard
prefix designation used to denote the different powers of ten. The following table presents
the standard factors and prefixes used within the SI system. Note that the bottom two
prefixes (femto and atto) are presented here merely for informational purposes and are
not contained within the Star Fleet standard.

The basic standards of measurement established by the Star Fleet are contained in the
Star Fleet Bureau of Standards manual BUSTAND-0005, which is maintained by the
Office of Fleet Standards.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
PHYSICAL STANDARDS
Physical standards are those relating to the characteristics of objects in space – objects
that can be directly measured using precision instruments.
MASS
The standard for measuring mass within Star Fleet is the kilogram (symbol kg). Since
the beginning of the Federation, the standard unit is to be equivalent to the mass of the
interplanetary prototype of the kilogram, which is made from an alloy of platinum and
iridium of 39 mm height and diameter and is kept at the Bureau of Federation Standards.
For large masses the standard established is the metric ton (symbol mt), which is equal
to 1000 kilograms. For scientific calculations, the units of grams (symbol gm) will
typically be used, which is defined as 0.001 kilograms.
LENGTH
The basic unit of length used by Star Fleet is the meter or metre (symbol m), which is
defined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red line of emission from krypton-86
atoms in a vacuum. For smaller measurements the units of centimeters (symbol cm),
which is 0.01 meters, and millimeters (symbol mm), 0.001 meters, are often used.
DISTANCE
Distance is defined as the unit of length from one object to another in space or on the
ground. Star Fleet has established as the basic unit of distance the kilometer (symbol
km), or 1000 meters. For larger distances in space, the Astronomical Unit (symbol AU)
is used, which is defined as the length that is roughly equal to the semi-major axis of
Earth’s orbit around its sun, and has a value of 149 597 870 691 ± 30 meters or about
150 million kilometers. Star Fleet will typically use the AU unit to define the diameter of
an area of space or of a stellar object in space.
For much larger distances, Star Fleet utilizes the light-year (symbol ly), which is defined
as the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Earth year. This distance corresponds to
the following:
a. 9,460,730,472,580.8 km,
b. about 63,241.077 AU, or
c. about 0.306 601 394 pc.
Another unit of space distance extensively used by Star Fleet is the parsec (symbol pc),
which stands for “parallax of one second of arc”. This unit is based on the trigonometric
parallax of a star, which is half of the angular distance a star appears to move against the
celestial sphere compared to the orbit of the Earth around its sun. One parsec is defined
to be the distance from the Earth to a star that has a parallax of 1 arc-second and is,
therefore, approximately:
a. 206,264.8062 AU,
b. 3.085 677 58 × 1016 m, or
c. 3.261630751 ly.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
POSITION
Star Fleet has established the MARK designation as the standard method of conveying
the position of a body in space or its vector. A complete description of this designation can
be found in Section 5.1 of this volume. As stated in Section 5.1, the MARK designation is
the standard means of indicating a direction from the center of the Federation Treaty
Zone. The format for this designation is [ascension]-MARK-[declination], [distance] or
[]-MARK-[] / []
where  is the ascension angle in degrees (0o to 360o) going counter-clockwise from the
vector pointing to the center of the galaxy from the center of the Treaty Zone, and where
 is the declination angle of in degrees up or down from the plane that defines the vector
pointing to the center of the galaxy. The range of declination angle is from 0 o to 90o and
from 270o to 360o to prevent confusion with using a minus sign.
VOLUME
The basic unit of the volume of a solid used by Star Fleet is the cubic meter (symbol
m3). For smaller volumes, cubic centimeters (symbol cc) and cubic millimeters
(symbol mm3) can also be used.
For liquid volumes (capacity), Star Fleet has established the liter (symbol l), which is
equal to 1000 cc or 0.001 m3.
DERIVED STANDARDS
Derived standards are those that are defined based upon the combination of other basic
standards and in some cases, are not directly measurable. Most of the derived standards
used by Star Fleet are those that were defined and used in basic physics.
FORCE
The unit of force used within Star Fleet is the newton (symbol N), or the amount of
force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second
squared.
1N = 1kg . m/s2
ENERGY
The unit of energy used within Star Fleet is the joule (symbol J), or the work done or
the energy required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one meter, so the
same quantity may be referred to as a newton-meter with the symbol N·m. However, the
newton-meter is usually used as a measure of work. As a rule of thumb, 1 joule is the
absolute minimum amount of energy required to lift a one kilogram object up by a height
of 10 centimeters on the surface of the Earth.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
POWER
In physics power is the rate at which work is performed. The unit of power used within
Star Fleet is the watt (symbol W), which is time rate of change of doing work. As such,
the watt is defined to be equal to one joule per second. For larger values, the units of
kilowatts (KW). megawatts (MW), gigawatts (GW) and terawatts (TW) will also be
used. Additional extensions may be used to identify specific power units such as electrical
power and thermal power; for example: MWth for thermal megawatts and GWe for
electrical gigawatts.
PRESSURE
Pressure is defined as the normal force per unit area acting on some real or imaginary
boundary. The basic unit of pressure established by Star Fleet is the pascal (symbol Pa),
which is defined as a force of one newton exerted on an area of one square meter (m2)
or 1 Pa = 1 N/m2. For large values of pressure, the kilopascal (KPa) or megapascal
(MPa) may also be used.
For pressures relating to atmospheric environments, Star Fleet established the standard
atmosphere (symbol atm), which is defined as the pressure produced by a column of
mercury (Hg) exactly 760 mm in height at 273.15 oK or 0 oC under standard Earth
gravitational acceleration, and is equal to 1.013 N/m2 or 1.013 Pa or 1.013 bar.
VELOCITY
The basic unit of velocity established by Star Fleet is meters per second (mps). This
unit is basically used for scientific and engineering calculations. The standard unit of
velocity used by Star Fleet vessels and transports is established to be kilometers per
hour (kph).
For space vessels traveling in normal space, under the speed of light, velocity is measured
in units of lights (symbol L) or the fraction thereof. The velocity of light in normal space-
time is equal to 299,792 kps; also known as "Light Speed."
For space vessels traveling in subspace at speeds greater than that of light velocity is not
measured, but is conveyed in units of Warp Factors (symbol WF). The Warp Factor
designation is an easy way to describe the velocity of a vessel that has warped space since
velocity cannot be directly measured in subspace, and describes the speed of the vessel in
light multiples as defined below:
VApparent = WF3 * Speed of Light

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
THERMODYNAMIC STANDARDS
Thermodynamic standards are those relating to heat transfer and fluid flow. As such, these
standards were basically established in order to maintain consistency in thermodynamic
calculations and to standardize the display of those instruments relating to heat and fluid
measurement.
TEMPERATURE
The primary unit for measuring or conveying temperature is in absolute units of kelvin
(symbol oK). An absolute temperature of 0oK indicates no energy and therefore, no heat
or temperature. However, under normal temperature conditions and within the framework
of living things, Star Fleet adopted the Celsius or centigrade (symbol oC) temperature
scale.
TC = TK – 273.15
HEAT
Heat is also a form of energy and as such, the basic unit of heat is the joule. However,
since heat in the macroscopic world is typically produced in greater quantities, Star Fleet
has established the kilojoule (symbol kJ) as the standard unit of heat energy.
Heat capacity, on the other hand, is generally used within Star Fleet for the design and
development of heat generating or cooling systems. Therefore, Star Fleet has established
the calorie (symbol Cal) as the unit of heat capacity, which is defined as the amount of
heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from 14.5o to 15.5oC (= 1oC).
For real-world calculations, Star Fleet will generally use heat capacity in units of
kilocalories (symbol kCal).
FLOW RATE
Flow rate is typically used in engineering calculations and instrumentation to convey the
movement of a mass within a system. Star Fleet uses two forms of flow rate: Mass Flow
and Volumetric Flow. Engineering calculations in Star Fleet are generally performed
using Mass Flow Rate. For such calculations, Star Fleet has established as the basic
unit of Mass Flow Rate: kilograms per second (kgs).
For the measurement of fluid flow, Star Fleet has mandated that all instrumentation
measure fluid flow in Volumetric Flow units. Star Fleet has established as the standard
measure of liquid flow to be displayed in liters per minute (lpm), while the measure of
gas flow is to be displayed in cubic meters per second (m3/s or cmps) for high-speed
gasses, and cubic meters per hour (m3/h or cmph) for slow-moving gasses corrected
for temperature.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
TIME STANDARDS
TIME
The basic unit of time used within Star Fleet is the second, which is defined as the
duration of 9,192,631,770 ± 20 cycles of a specified transition within the cesium atom.
From this definition the following derived units of time have been established:
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 day = 24 hours
1 Federation year = 360 days
Note that one Federation Year is equal to 360 Federation Days and equates to the
number of degrees in a circle indicating one cyclic period. This standard was established in
order to maintain consistency throughout the Federation.
Star Fleet has also established the format in which time is to be conveyed and displayed.
This format utilizes the 24 hour clock and has the form: HHMM. For example, a time of 6
P.M. on Earth would have a time value of 1800.
The chronometers used throughout Star Fleet utilize a 64-bit binary register to keep track
of time. The upper 48 bits of this register is the time in seconds, while lower 16 bits is
used for fractional seconds. This system allows for a total elapsed time of over 8 million
years with a precision of 0.00000153 ± 0.00000002 seconds. The chronometer register is
updated using a vibrating piezoelectric crystal that sends electric pulses 65,536 times a
second.
DATE
Star Fleet has established the form in which dates are to be recorded and displayed. Star
Fleet, and the Federation, has established the Stardate, which means Star Fleet
Date, as the method of recording the date. Stardates come in several forms: Local and
Federation.
On Star Fleet ships the Local Stardate represents the number of six-hour watch periods
performed during a patrol cycle. That is, each one Stardate unit is equivalent to six hours
of elapsed chronological time. This form of Stardate begins when the vessel embarks on
its patrol mission at a point six hours before the Maneuvering Watch has been stationed [2].
Log entries for all Star Fleet vessels will utilize this form of Stardate, which is recorded
in the following format:
DDDD.FF
Where DDDD is the number of six-hour periods and FF is equal to the number of minutes
divided by 360, or 0.1 Stardate is approximately 40 minutes. The Federation Stardate
is defined as the number of days that have elapsed since the Department of the Star
Fleet was first established. The base date for this standard was set at September 22,
2207 - Earth. All official documents are required to use this form of Stardate as well as all
Star Fleet bases and stations.

7.2 STAR FLEET SYMBOLS

In this section the standard symbols, emblems and badges used by Star Fleet will be
presented. The design of the symbols used by Star Fleet are established and maintained
by the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards, specifically, the Office of Fleet Standards,
and published in BUSTAND-0008. The symbols were originally established when the
Star Fleet Service was created in 2207. Some of the symbols used by the newly formed
Star Fleet are modifications or derivations of symbols used by the old Space Service.
The primary symbol of the Star Fleet is the Star Fleet Seal, which is illustrated below.
The seal is a derivation of the seal of the United Federation of Planets, which indicates
that Star Fleet is part of the government of the Federation. The seal is characterized by
an outer blue circle with the words UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS and five stars,
which represent the five original signatories to the Articles of Federation and the five
permanent members of the Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff. The inner white circle
contains the seal of the United Federation of Planets surrounded by the words Star
Fleet Command to indicate that this is the seal for the Department of the Star Fleet.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards has the responsibility to institute the rules,
regulations and penalties regarding the authorized and unauthorized use of Star Fleet
symbols. All Star Fleet emblems and symbols are the sole property of the Department
of the Star Fleet. No unauthorized use of any Star Fleet symbol, seal, emblem, badge
or design is permissible by anyone within or outside the Department of the Star Fleet
or the United Federation of Planets without the express written consent from the
Director: Star Fleet Command. As such, the control of the use of Star Fleet symbols is
the primary responsibility of the Office of Standards Conformance.

documents, orders, directives and other official correspondences. The seal should emboss
the document over the signature of the author. The placing of the seal would indicate that
the document was written and reviewed by the author. This has the added security benefit
of ensuring that the document is official since only certain Star Fleet Command persons
have access to this embossing seal. The placement of the seal over the signature helps
ensure that the document is not a forgery.
Any person who uses the official seal in a manner other than permitted will be subject to
the provisions of Federation law dealing with the fraudulent use of government property.
In addition, anyone making a copy of the seal or uses such a copy on documents in order
to misrepresent the document as being official shall be subject to fines and imprisonment
for no less than 10 years in a Federation penal colony.
AUTHORIZED USERS OF THE STAR FLEET EMBOSSING SEAL
As stated above only certain Star Fleet Command persons have access to the embossing
seal and are authorized to use it. The following lists the persons that are authorized to use
the embossing seal on a full-time basis:
• The Director: Star Fleet Command

• The Vice Director: Star Fleet Command
• The Star Fleet Chief of Staff
• The Star Fleet Command Adjutant General
• The Star Fleet Judge Advocate General
• The Chief of Star Fleet Representatives
• The Chief of Star Fleet Operations
The Director maintains the one and only embossing seal, and may assign anyone within
the service to use the seal.

7.3 STAR FLEET COLOR STANDARDS

The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards has established a standard regarding the color
schemes of its assets. As such, the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards has established
specific standard colors to be used by Star Fleet as illustrated in Table 1a73.1, and which
are published in Star Fleet Bureau of Standards manual BUSTAND-0009.
STAR FLEET EMBLEM COLORS
The standards for many of the colors of Star Fleet emblems were established before the
Department was created. Many of the emblems were created during the years of the
Confederation. However, once established, the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards,
specifically, the Office of Fleet Standards, is tasked with maintaining the symbols and
emblems of Star Fleet.
STAR FLEET UNIFORM COLORS
Uniform design and colors are established in conjunction with the Star Fleet Office of
Personnel Standards specifically, Star Fleet Uniform Standard (BUPERSMAN-332),
which can also be found in Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual. In general,
the basic color standard established by the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards is
as follows:
Command and Operations: Amber or Goldenrod

Engineering and Security: Red
Science and Medicine: Blue variants
Flight Operations: Olive Green
Justice and Legal: Maroon
STAR FLEET SHIP AND CRAFT COLORS
The color schemes and standards of all Star Fleet vessels are established by the Star
Ship Systems Command (see Part 1 in Volume V of the Star Fleet Command Manual
for details). As such, STARSHIPS has established the standard for the exterior colors of
all Star Fleet ships to be as follows:
Star Fleet Combatants: Naval Gray

Star Fleet Support Ships: Light Blue-Gray
Star Fleet Hospital Ships: White with Red crosses prominently
displayed on all exterior sides.
STAR FLEET STATION COLORS
The color schemes and standards of all Star Fleet stations are established by the Star
Base Systems Command (see Volume VII of the Star Fleet Command Manual for
details). There are no specific colors regarding bases on the ground, however, Star Fleet
Stations will basically follow closely the color scheme established for Star Fleet ships.

7.4 STAR FLEET FLAGS, BANNERS AND

PENNANTS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards, specifically the Office of Fleet Standards, also
maintains the design and look of all flags, banners and pennants used by Star Fleet. In
this section the various flags, banners and pennants will be presented, along with how
they are to be used and displayed.
OFFICIAL STAR FLEET FLAG
The official flag of the Department of the Star Fleet is based on the design of the
official Star Fleet seal. The flag is a rectangle with the dimensions 176 cm long by 128
cm wide. The Star Fleet seal is 96 cm in diameter and placed in the center of a blue field
with a gold fringe as illustrated below:
The use and display of the flag is restricted to the following:
1. On or in front of Star Fleet installations,

2. At Star Fleet ceremonies,
3. At conferences involving official Star Fleet participation, including permanent display
in Star Fleet conference and briefing rooms at all Star Fleet facilities. However, it is
not necessary to have the Star Fleet flag continuously displayed in the briefing rooms
of Star Fleet ships except during boards of inquiry, courts-martial and other official
Star Fleet business.
4. At Federation or public appearances of Star Fleet senior officers,
5. In the private offices of senior Star Fleet officials and division commanders,
6. As otherwise authorized by the Director: Star Fleet Command.
The Star Fleet flag can only be displayed along with the flag of the United Federation
of Planets; the Star Fleet flag cannot be displayed by itself except on top of a structure.
When both flags are displayed on a speaker’s platform or during a conference, the United
Federation flag must occupy the position of honor, which is on the person’s right, and
the Star Fleet flag must be placed on the person’s left.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The official flag of the Director: Star Fleet Command is based on the original design of
the official Star Fleet seal. The flag is a rectangle with the dimensions 198 cm long by
128 cm wide. The center of the flag contains the Star Fleet star surrounded by gold oak
leaves on top of the words “STAR FLEET“. This symbol is placed in the center of a blue
field with a gold fringe as illustrated below. However, the old flag of the Director was
replaced with the Star Fleet flag in 2232 when the old symbol of the Star Fleet was
retired. This also saved some expense as there was no need for a special flag specifically
made for the Director since he is Star Fleet.
Illustration 1a74.1
Old Flag New Flag
The flag is restricted for use only by the Director: Star Fleet Command. This is his
personal flag as allowed under Paragraph 2 of ARTICLE 48 of the Star Fleet Charter.
This flag can only be hung in the office of the Director. The flag can be brought along
with the Director when he travels, but it is not required. Only the Director will decide
whether he will bring along his flag when traveling or when embarked on any Star Fleet
ship.
STAR FLEET COMMAND FLAG[3]
The official flag of Star Fleet Command, which is carried aboard all Star Fleet ships and
bases, is a rectangle with the dimensions 198 cm long by 128 cm wide. The center of the
flag contains a gold Star Fleet arrowhead in the center of a light blue field with a gold
fringe as illustrated below:

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
FLAG OFFICERS[4]
In accordance with Paragraph 2 of ARTICLE 48 of the Star Fleet Charter, flag officers
are allowed their own personal flag. However, the flag allowed by such officers is that
which BUSTAND has established. Star Fleet division chiefs and fleet commanders may
have special flags containing the symbol of their unit, but the standard for flag officers is a
plain field with stars. The standard flag shall have a blue field with white stars; the number
of which shall depend upon the rank of the officer. A similar flag for officers of the Star
Fleet Marine Corps shall be as follows: a red field with gold stars; the number of which
will depend upon the rank of the officer. These flags are illustrated in the table below.
Table 1a74.1
BASIC FLAG OFFICER’S PERSONAL FLAGS

The rules governing the use of the flag by travelling flag commanders are the same as
those for the Director: Star Fleet Command.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
BANNERS
Banners are flag-like in appearance, but usually hanging from a flagstaff in a vertical
orientation. BUSTAND has not established any banner for the Department of the Star
Fleet. As such, there is no standard regarding Star Fleet banners. However, the only
banner that is allowed to be displayed by Star Fleet is the United Federation of
Planets banner.
The United Federation of Planets or UFP banner is illustrated below. The Star Fleet
version (left) is of a trapezoidal shape with a blue field. The field contains the abbreviation
UFP and is surrounded by thirteen white stars. This banner is used only on expeditions
originated by Star Fleet. The standard Federation version (right) of the banner is also of
the same trapezoidal shape, but with a red field. The field contains the abbreviation UFP
in gold lettering and is surrounded by thirteen silver stars. This version of the banner is
typically displayed at all Federation civilian colonies, expeditions and settlements to
indicate their origin.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
PENNANTS
Pennants are defined as a long thin tapered streamer or flag that are placed on the hulls
of Star Fleet ships. Star Fleet has only two forms of pennants: the Commissioning
Pennant and the Fleet Service Pennant. The shape, color and use of these pennants is
governed by the Star Ships Systems Command as will be described later in Part 2 of
Volume V of the Star Fleet Command Manual. These pennants are illustrated here to
show that they are standards used within Star Fleet.
Such pennants will always be red in color and will generally have a yellow Star Fleet
arrowhead superimposed on them, up in front of the pennant and facing in the direction of
forward movement. However, there are some pennants that may have other symbols than
the yellow arrowhead placed on them, depending on the class and function of the ship. In
general, the type of symbol that is placed on a pennant will be determined by Star Ships
Systems Command (STARSHIPS).
COMMISSIONING PENNANT
The Commissioning Pennant is displayed on all NCC designated commissioned Star

Fleet vessels, with the registry number placed within the center of the pennant. The
Commissioning Pennant will typically be displayed on the outboard side of the warp
nacelles of Star Fleet ships, and on the hull and ion drive pods of Star Fleet service craft
indicating the command to which the craft is attached.
Illustration 1a74.3
STAR FLEET SHIP COMMISSIONING PENNANT
FLEET SERVICE PENNANT[5]
The Fleet Service Pennant is placed on all commissioned Starships on active service to
indicate that the vessel is assigned to fleet duty. This pennant will generally be displayed
prominently on the port and starboard sides of the vessel. The diagram below illustrates
the two versions of this pennant.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
MANUALS
Manuals are defined as documents containing the procedures, standards and references
required to perform a specific function. Each Star Fleet division has their own specific set
of manuals regarding the operation and administration of the division. However, divisional
manuals must still conform to the general standards regarding such documents. To easily
distinguish the various manuals, Star Fleet has established a standard of identifying these
manuals based upon the guidelines listed below.
GENERAL MANUAL DESIGNATION RULES
The following are some of the rules regarding the identification of Star Fleet manuals.
1. All Star Fleet manuals shall be labeled and numbered by the division or bureau that
has responsibility for that manual or that issues such manuals. The general format for
the labeling of manuals is that the manual name or designator is first, followed by its
numerical sequence number, prefixed with a dash such as: BUSHIPSREG-1234. The
only exception to this rule is for manuals with major and minor classification numbers
such as in: STARSHIPS 550-1234.
2. All Star Fleet manuals shall place the identifier in the upper right-hand corner of the
manual cover.
3. General fleet manuals shall be identified by incorporating the suffix “MAN” within the
manual label, but before the manual number. For example, a Bureau of Star Fleet
Personnel manual would be identified with the label: BUPERSMAN-0000.
4. Functional manuals shall have a suffix depending on the type of manual as specified in
the table below.
Table 1a75.2

5. All Star Fleet Command manuals will be prefixed with “FLT” to indicate that it is a
“fleet” document.
6. The basic numbering system for Star Fleet manuals will be based upon the chapter
and section number of Star Fleet Command Manual associated with the division or
functionality.
7. Each page, including the cover, of all Star Fleet manuals shall exhibit the security
classification of the information contained therein. At a minimum, and for non-
classified documents, each page shall exhibit the text “OFFICIAL USE ONLY” in bold
and in blue ink. All classified documents shall exhibit the level of security in bold red
ink.

7.6 STAR FLEET DECORUM AND

PROTOCOL
Star Fleet has established certain protocols or rules of conduct, customs and ceremonies,
some of which are set down in Star Fleet Regulations and some that are unofficial.
These rules of decorum and protocol were written down in standards established and
maintained by the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel. As such, all persons in the Star
Fleet Service will be trained on these rules and must abide by them.
One rule in particular that is instilled into every service member is that individuals in the
Star Fleet are expected to be just as courteous as members of the Service as they were
in civilian life, especially since many in the Service will be living in close quarters out in
space for long periods of time. Therefore, good manners are important. In this section the
reader will be introduced to some of the more familiar rules of conduct that are prescribed
in Star Fleet Regulations and by established custom.
ADDRESSING OFFICERS AND PERSONNEL
Basically, one is addressed within the Star Fleet by their title, rank or grade and the job
they perform. Star Fleet officers are addressed differently than enlisted persons, but have
the same thing in common: all personnel will be addressed by their last name. Star Fleet
Regulations contain specific rules governing how officers are addressed or spoken to.
Specifically, Star Fleet Regulation 5320 establishes the manner in which officers are
addressed and states that:
1. Every officer in the Star Fleet Service must be designated and addressed in official
communications by the title of his or her rank, preceding the name.
2. In oral official communications, officers will be addressed by their grade except that
officers of the Medical, Dental, and those officers of the Medical Services, Nurse,
Science and Engineering Corps having doctoral degrees may be addressed as
"Doctor." Officers in the Nurse Corps, not having a doctoral degree, may be
addressed as "Nurse". Officers of the Chaplain Corps that have been ordained may
be addressed as "Chaplain". Officers of the Engineering Corps may be addressed
as “Engineer.” Officers of the Diplomatic and Judicial Corps may be addressed as
"Counselor" or “Judge”, in the case of Star Fleet officers performing the duty of
Star Fleet Magistrate.
3. In written, taped or other electronic communications the name of the corps or branch
to which any Staff Corps or line officer belongs must be indicated immediately after
his rank, such as:
James T. Kirk, Captain, SSC or
Dr. Leonard McCoy, LCDR, MED
Regarding temporary or acting appointments, an officer holding an acting appointment is

allowed to display the title of his acting grade, but when such appointment is revoked, the
officer must assume or resume the title of his or her actual grade, as specified in Star
Fleet Regulation 5310.

In addition, there are specific rules governing how personnel within the Star Fleet
Service are introduced. The table below summarizes the forms of addressing and
introducing Star Fleet personnel.

Star Fleet officers with the rank of Commander and above are addressed by their titles.
Lieutenant Commanders and below are addressed as “mister”, except women officers,
who are addressed as “ma’am”, “Miss” or “Mrs.” Medical officers with the rank of
Commander and above are addressed by their rank or as “Doctor”, while those with the
rank of Lieutenant Commander and below are addressed simply as “Doctor.” All
Chaplains are addressed as “Chaplain,” regardless of rank.
Enlisted technicians are addressed by their last names. Senior enlisted personnel may call
their juniors by their first names, but juniors never address their senior by their first name.
While on duty and in the presence of others, enlisted personnel may use the last name
with the appropriate prefix when addressing their seniors such as “Chief Smith.”

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The general rule of addressing personnel is that one must introduce a junior to the senior.
Regardless of gender, one should always introduce others, except where one is addressing
a Chaplain. In this instance one should always introduce themselves to a Chaplain, no
matter one’s rank or gender. When addressing a civilian, the rule is to introduce youth to
age, and male to female.
There is one custom that has been removed by the Star Fleet Service: saluting. This
military custom, which has been observed for centuries by military personnel of most
civilizations, is no longer required within the Service, except on special occasions and only
for very high-ranking Federation officials. Persons within the Service no longer salute
each other.
Another form of courtesy or respect is the recognition of a superior’s rank or position,

which usually occurs when a junior or enlisted person encounters a senior or officer. When
a junior passes a senior it is incumbent upon the junior to show respect by making a
greeting to the senior. The term “passing” refers to walking towards a person, whether
facing the individual or overtaking the individual from behind. Such a greeting should be
made cheerfully and respectfully with words such as “Good morning, sir” or “Good day,
Captain.” When such a greeting is made, the senior officer should reply by saying “Carry
on”, or “As you were.” Enlisted persons passing each other are not required to make such
a greeting, but should do so in the spirit of courtesy and good crewmanship.
Another custom carried over from older military systems is standing “At Attention [6].” For
example, when a junior is sitting down and a senior officer enters, it is customary to stand
“At Attention” as illustrated in Figure 1a76.1. Standing at attention is not merely a sign of
respect, but also shows military discipline and bearing. The position of attention is when
the individual stands up straight with the knees and legs together, the toes pointing
directly ahead, the arms at the person’s sides with the palms facing the legs, the fingers of
the hand held fixed together, and the head straight with the eyes looking forward. To ease
an individual standing at attention, the senior will simply order “As you were.” Standing at
attention only applies while on Star Fleet or Federation property, and is not required
outside of a government facility.
Also, respect and recognition for ones rank is still a courtesy that is required within the
Service. When an enlisted person converses with an officer, the enlisted person should
always show respect by using the term “sir” or “ma’am” in the case of a woman officer.
For example: “Yes, sir,” “No, ma’am.” In addition, when an enlisted person addresses an
officer, the enlisted person must use the officer’s title and name. For example, when
replying to an officer, the enlisted person would say “Yes, Commander,” “No, Doctor
Jones,” “Yes, Mister Smith.” Under military conditions, both enlisted men and women are
addressed by their last names only. Officers address Chief Technicians by last names only;
however, enlisted personnel junior to the Chief Technician customarily address them as
“Chief.” Also, officers who may not immediately know the name of the Chief Technician
may address that person simply as “Chief”.
Individuals may address their Commanding Officer as “Captain” regardless of the

officer’s true rank. In addition, persons may do so without using the Commanding
Officer’s name. For example “Good morning Captain.” This mainly applies to persons
aboard Star Fleet vessels. When addressing a Commanding Officer of a Star Fleet
base or facility, one may use the term “Commander”, except where the Commanding
Officer is of flag grade. In such cases, the rules set forth in Table 1a76.1 shall apply.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
When replying to an order, juniors reply to a senior with a single “Aye” (pronounced I) or
“Aye Aye” or “Aye Sir”. The term “Aye” means that the individual has heard the order,
understood it and will carry it out. A senior will acknowledge a report from a junior with
“Very Well” or “Very Good.” However, when an enlisted person issues an order to a junior
enlisted person, the junior will not include the term “sir” in their reply, but only when the
junior enlisted person is performing a military task. For example, in reporting the status of
the crew a junior enlisted person would say to the Chief Technician “All present and
accounted for, sir.”
ANNOUNCING STAR FLEET OFFICIALS
All high-ranking Star Fleet officers making Official Visits to a Star Fleet ship or facility
shall be rendered honors in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 7300. As part of
rendering honors, senior officers will be announced across the commands’ or facility’s
general announcing system at the time of actual arrival or departure. Actual arrival means
when the official has exited the brow at the command’s end; exited a shuttlecraft and has
stepped onto the Flightdeck or has just materialized in the transporter. Actual departure
means when the official enters the brow at the command’s end, the shuttlecraft containing
the official has left the command or the official has just dematerialized in the transporter.
In the case of large open Starbases, such announcement would be performed through
the base’s visual communication system.
Calls, on the other hand, are informal or unofficial visits, usually between Star Fleet units
and do not require any special ceremony. However, the rules for announcing personnel
that make a Call will still apply.
The essential purpose for making such an announcement is to make personnel within the
command aware of the presence of such high-ranking officials. As such, announcements
are made on both the official’s arrival and departure. However, announcements are not
usually made when civilian officials or dignitaries come aboard. Such an announcement is
usually made prior to the actual visit.
When announcing high-ranking officers making Official Visits, the protocol is to state the
officer’s short-hand version of their title, followed by either “Arriving” or “Departing”
depending on whether the official is coming aboard or leaving. The table below describes
the protocol used for the various high-ranking officers within the Star Fleet Service.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET COURTESIES
All members of the Star Fleet are expected to show courtesy, not only to Star Fleet
personnel, but to civilian, foreign and alien personnel as well as required under Star Fleet
Regulation 6540. The rules of civilian good manners apply in the Star Fleet Service as
they do ashore, but are even more important since the actions of Star Fleet personnel
ashore directly reflects upon the Service itself.
MANNING THE SIDE[7]
“Manning the side” is an honor given to visiting officers and dignitaries. This honor usually
involves an armed Honor Guard assembled from the crew (typically from the command’s
security detachment), which will be consist of anywhere between eight and twelve persons
as specified in Table 7001 of Star Fleet Regulations. The Honor Guard will form a
straight line with guard personnel standing at Attention, saluting the official or dignitary.
The arrangement of the line or "side" will depend upon the number of persons comprising
the Honor Guard. The table below specifies the rules regarding the assembly of the
Honor Guard.
Table 1a76.3
RULES FOR MANNING THE SIDE
Size of
Honor Staging of the Line
Guard
8 One line of 8 persons
Two opposing parallel lines of 5
10
persons.
Two opposing parallel lines of 6
12
persons.
After the Honor Guard has assembled and as the official or dignitary starts down the line,
the Honor Guard will salute the official, dignitary or party. The type of salute will depend
on the weapon used by the Honor Guard. For hand phasers, the salute will be displaying
the weapon in the right hand, crossing the chest at a 45 o angle as illustrated in Figure
1a76.2. For phaser rifles, the salute will be by displaying the weapon at “Present Arms.”
At the end of the line the Commanding Officer and other senior officers or officials will
wait for the official. They are present to greet the official or dignitary and to make such
honor and ceremony as befitting the rank of the dignitary. In addition, flags and banners
may also be displayed depending on the official or dignitary. Such flags and banners will
be displayed at the end of the line where the Commanding Officer will greet the official
or dignitary.
With the Honor Guard in place, the official or dignitary will also be “piped” aboard the
command using an electronic Boatswain’s Pipe. The ship’s or command’s bell may also
be rung depending on the requirements set forth in Star Fleet Regulation 7300. Bells
will typically be rung only for high-ranking military officers and are not usually rung for
civilian officials or dignitaries. This is performed as soon as the official or dignitary enters
the “line” and the official is announced. After that, the official will be “piped” aboard.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
BOARDING OR LEAVING A SHIP OR FACILITY
When boarding or leaving a ship or facility, crewmembers must seek permission from their
Commanding Officer or his designee, either the Command Duty Officer (CDO), the
Officer of the Deck (OOD) or the Officer of the Conn (CON).
When an individual wishes to leave the ship or facility via transporter, permission must be
requested and granted prior to entering the transporter facility. This permission must be
performed by making a request to the Commanding Officer or the officer on duty. The
request is generally performed by saying “Request permission to transport to…” When the
Commanding Officer or his designees says “Permission granted,” then the individual is
allowed to proceed to the transporter facility. Such permission will be communicated to the
Transporter Officer before the individual arrives.
Permission to board a ship or facility by transporter must be performed at the point of

origin from which the individual wishes to transport from. Without such permission, the
Transporter Officer at the receiving end will not allow the transporter signal to be
processed. This is the primary method of transporting. Should an individual be transported
to a location that does not have a transporter facility, the requesting or origination point
must seek permission from the destination point and the destination point must provide
the exact coordinates for materialization. Permission to transport back to a ship by an
authorized Landing Party from the vessel is not required. In addition, the same rules and
permissions required to leave or board a vessel or facility via the transporter also apply to
persons leaving or boarding a vessel or facility via shuttlecraft as well.
Star Fleet vessels anchored at a facility will typically be rigged with a brow. This is a
pressurized corridor or gangway that is attached to the ship to allow walking access to and
from the vessel. On the vessel’s side of the brow, an armed security watch is stationed to
prevent unauthorized access. This security guard will also greet all persons boarding or
leaving the vessel. Any person who wishes to enter the ship must seek permission from
the Officer of the Deck (OOD), usually through the security guard if the OOD is not
physically present at the brow. Individuals seeking permission to enter typically will make
the request by stating “Request permission to come aboard.” In such situations the guard
will obtain permission by contacting the OOD via the communications system. During this
period, the individual requesting permission to board cannot enter until permission is
granted. This must be performed regardless of the fact that the badge on their uniform
would identify the individual. Any unauthorized entry onto the ship or command will sound
an alarm. Sensors surrounding the brow monitor the signal sent by the microprocessor
within the badge or patch. Note that the Commanding Officer or the Executive Officer
of the command do not need permission to leave or board his or her command, but will
only be announced as stated earlier.
Should a group of individuals wish to seek permission to board, only the person in charge
of the party need request permission for the group. When permission is granted, all the
persons within the party will have permission to board.
Crewmembers returning to their vessel need not request permission to board. They can
simply board the ship since the Star Fleet badge attached to their uniform contains a
microprocessor identifying the person as being a member of the ship. However, on some
of the older ships, crew members may have to swipe their Star Fleet Identification
Card in a card reader in order for the system to log the individual as being on board.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
RENDERING HONORS
Rendering honors typically means to show, display or otherwise state such courtesies as
afforded to a person of rank. In this particular case, the term “Rendering Honors” applies
to courtesies given to commands and official government entities. Such rendering of
honors is covered in Star Fleet Regulation 7000 and specified in Table 7001 of that
regulation.
However, in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 7120, no honors of any kind will be
accorded to any planet or government, or to any official of any planet that has not been
formally recognized by the Federation; and, except as authorized by the Federation
Council, no other honors or ceremonies prescribed in Star Fleet Regulations will be
rendered or exchanged with any unrecognized government or official.
SHIP-TO-SHIP HONORS
When military vessels of known or recognized governments are encountered in space,

Commanding Officers of Star Fleet vessels are obliged to render honors, as required
by treaty or agreement, to the other ship. If not engaged in a specific mission, the Star
Fleet Commanding Officer will render such honors by contacting the other vessel and
directing each ship to come to a full stop. Courtesies are rendered through Official Visits
or Calls by the Commanding Officers of each vessel, depending on the circumstances.
However, simple honors can be rendered merely through visual communications between
the two commanders if necessary. For commercial and private vessels encountering Star
Fleet vessels in space, the rule is that such vessels render honors to Star Fleet vessels
first. That is, the ship’s master will transport to the Star Fleet vessel to render courtesies
directly to the Commanding Officer of the Star Fleet vessel, if required. In general, all
Federation civilian vessels must always render honors to Star Fleet vessels at all times,
whether both vessels are inside or outside Federation space.
In general, rendering ship honors is simply an element of any Star Fleet Commanding
Officer’s obligation to challenge all vessels encountered under General Order 12. The
Commanding Officer will generally know the type of vessel it encounters, and if that
vessel is of Federation origin, or from a recognized government, by its Registration
Beacon. However, ships encountered that do not transmit any identification signal must
be challenged at all times and therefore, no honors will be rendered.
This rule also applies to vessels of Local Forces that venture beyond their territorial
boundaries. However, within the territorial boundaries of a member system, it shall be the
Star Fleet vessel that first renders honors to any Local Force vessel it encounters. In
addition, vessels of foreign governments, recognized by the Federation, must render
honors first to Star Fleet vessels when in open Federation space. However, Star Fleet
vessels outside of Federation space must first render honors only to recognized foreign
military vessels. Star Fleet Commanding Officers are not required to render honors to
any civilian vessel outside Federation space.
When ships pass each other at speed, the Commanding Officer or the Officer of the
Conn (CON) will send out a signal to the other ship and request visual communication.
The Commanding Officer or the CON will recognize the ship and extend courtesies to
the officer in command and proceed underway. However, rendering such honors is not
required if any of the two ships are proceeding in haste – at speeds exceeding Warp 6.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
SHIP-TO-SHORE HONORS
When military stations are encountered in space, Commanding Officers of Star Fleet
vessels are required to make a courtesy call to the base or station, so long as the vessel is
not engaged in a mission. If not engaged in a specific mission, the Commanding Officer
of the ship will render such honors by contacting the base or station to make an Official
Visit or Call to its Commander as required under Star Fleet Regulation 7410. The
commander of the base or station, or his designee, will greet the vessel with “Welcome to
<base name>” and invite the command staff of the vessel to make such a visit or call.
This rule also applies to bases and stations of Local Forces that are within the territorial
boundaries of the member system. As such, it will be the Star Fleet vessel that will first
render honors to the station of the Local Force. In the case where a Local Force vessel
encounters a Star Fleet station outside its system, the Local Force Commander is
required to render such honors first and make an Official Visit to the station. In the case
where a Local Force vessel encounters a Star Fleet station within the boundaries of the
member system, the Local Force Commander is not required to render honors, nor
required to make any Official Visit or Call. However, if a Local Force Commander
wishes to make a call, visit or orbit the station, the Local Force Commander must seek
permission from the Star Fleet Commander of the station to do so.
Star Fleet vessels encountering a private, commercial or any civilian station in deep space
are not required to render any honor or make any Official Visit to the station. However,
the Star Fleet Commanding Officer may do so in the performance of his or her duty, or
to seek rest leave and liberty privileges. In such instances the Commanding Officer of
the Star Fleet ship may seek permission from the Station Master to board the station,
depending if Star Fleet has Port Visitation Rights with the station. If so, then the Star
Fleet Commander does not need permission to visit, but will require instructions from
the station as to where it can orbit or park. On the other hand, all private and commercial
vessels are required to make a Call to any Star Fleet base or station they may encounter
in space. This is not merely a courtesy call, but is designed to discuss the destination and
intent of the civilian craft.
In general, and for safety and security reasons, no vessel in deep space shall approach or
pass any base or station, within close proximity, at any velocity other than at sub-light
maneuvering speeds. The rules governing the proximity limits are contained in Star Fleet
Command Fleet Operational Orders as established by Star Fleet Operations.
When in foreign space, Star Fleet vessels are obliged to make Official Visits to foreign
government ports, after permission has been granted to enter the area of space owned by
the local authority. However, Commanding Officers of Star Fleet vessels are not
required to render any honor to any foreign government entity that has not been formally
recognized by the United Federation of Planets as required by Star Fleet Regulation
7120, unless such agreements regarding the rendering of honors have been established
between the respective governments.

7.7 STAR FLEET TERMINOLOGY

This section will introduce the reader to the terminology and phraseology used within Star
Fleet. As stated in Chapter 2, much of the aspects of the structure and organization of
Star Fleet were developed from the old naval organizations of Earth. As such, many of
the old naval phrases were carried-over into the new Star Fleet as well. In general, Star
Fleet vessels are treated as naval vessels and therefore, many of the old ship terms were
also carried-over into modern times and still used to describe spacecraft, their parts and
sections. Table 1a77.1 provides a lexicon of the terms used within Star Fleet.
Table 1a77.2 lists the commands or phrases, along with the syntax, used by Star Fleet
personnel. Again, many of the commands were derived from the old naval terms. Where a
phrase is an order or requires completion, the inserted phrase would be in the angle
brackets <>. Any options associated with inserted phrase would be indicated within
braces {}. Choices in the standard terms required to complete the command phrase will
be separated by a bar (|) indicating term A OR term B. Optional phrases are contained in
brackets [].

8.0 STAR FLEET DIVISIONS[1]

In this section the divisional organizations of the Department of the Star Fleet will be
discussed. At the top level is Star Fleet Command, the executive and administrative
branch of Star Fleet as illustrated in Figure 1a80.1. The Department of the Star Fleet
is divided into ten major Divisions specifically designed to carry out the primary functions
of Star Fleet as specified in ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter, and in accordance
with Star Fleet Regulation 1400.
Within Star Fleet, a Division is defined as a large primary organization with a wide scope
of functions and responsibilities. A Star Fleet division will typically be commanded by an
Admiral or Vice Admiral who will have the title of “Chief” in accordance with Star
Fleet Regulation 5770. Most of the divisions within Star Fleet will be commanded by a
line officer, but some will be commanded by Staff Corps officers as well. For example,
the Star Fleet Division of Medicine is a primary division specializing in medicine. As
such, this division will be commanded by an officer from the Star Fleet Medical Corps.
Primary divisions will be further divided into sub-divisions, bureaus or “Type Commands”
such as the Star Ship Systems Command, a subdivision of the Star Fleet Division of
Engineering as illustrated in Figure 1a83.1. Such subdivisions are usually commanded by
a Vice Admiral or Rear Admiral who will have the title of “Deputy Chief”.
A Bureau is a subdivision that is focused on a specific area of operation or functionality.

Bureaus are typically much smaller than a division and are generally considered “Staff
Commands” since they normally perform an administrative function for the division;
whereas a “Type Command” will essentially perform an operational function. Most bureaus
are highly specialized and as such, the officers assigned to them will usually belong to the
Staff Corps associated with specialized function of the bureau. For example, the Star
Fleet Bureau of Finance and Accounting is staffed almost entirely with officers from
the Star Fleet Supply Corps.
Typically, a large bureau will usually be commanded by an officer with the rank of Rear
Admiral, while smaller bureaus may be assigned a Commodore. And as with any other
subdivision, the commander of a bureau will also have the title of “Deputy Chief”. The
subdivision of a bureau will usually be called an “Office” or “Office of”. However, bureaus
may contain other bureaus as well. An example of a bureau within another bureau can be
illustrated in Figure 1a81.2. In this case the Star Fleet Bureau of Records is a “holding”
organization for several other bureaus.
An Office will generally be focused on a specific function or group of similar functions, and
will typically be commanded by either a Commodore or a Captain. Offices below this
level will typically by commanded by a non-flag officer who will normally have the title of
“Commander.” An example of such an office is the Office of Criminal Investigation,
an office within the Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation. Offices can be further divided
into Sections, which are highly specialized functional units and will normally perform only
one function. For example, the Vessel Inspection Section of the Star Fleet Office of
Vessel Compliance and Inspection specifically performs only the inspection of private
and commercial vessels. Such section offices will typically be commanded by a Captain or
Commander, and will usually have the title “Officer in Charge” or “OINC” for short.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
DIVISION HIERARCHY
Star Fleet has established a hierarchy of personnel and organizational groupings designed
to distribute the major functions associated with their primary organizational grouping. At
the top is the Department, the organization in which all primary activities are performed.
The Department of the Star Fleet is a department in its own right since it is a major
component of the Federation government - one that carries out the peace and security
function for the government. As such, there are no Departments within the structure of
Star Fleet Command, only Divisions. The hierarchy of organizations within Star Fleet
in the order of their precedence, from highest to lowest, is as follows:
 Department
 Division
 Systems, Staff or Type Command
 Bureau
 Office
 Section
 Group
 Team
A modified version of this hierarchy is defined for organizations within the Operating
Forces of Star Fleet. This hierarchy is typically employed by unit commands to distribute
the primary functions associated with that unit command. For example, the Operations
Department within a command unit (such as on a Starship) has the primary function of
managing the activities associated with running the unit. This particular Department will
be further subdivided into Divisions to handle the various administrative and operating
functions, an example of which would be the Communications Division. The hierarchy
of such organizations, in their order of precedence, is as follows:
 Department
 Division
 Section
 Watch Section
 Team

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
PRIMARY STAR FLEET DIVISIONS
The Department of the Star Fleet contains ten primary divisions to distribute the major
functions chartered to Star Fleet. Each of these primary divisions will have an Office
Code designator in multiples of one thousand, numbered from 0000 to 9000. For example,
the Executive Division or Branch, i.e. Star Fleet Command, has an Office Code of
0000 to signify that it is the uppermost division within the Department. All subdivisions and
bureaus below a Division will have an Office Code in multiples of one hundred, and all
bureaus, offices and sections within a subdivision will have an Office Code in multiples of
ten.
As stated above, each Star Fleet division is identified by a 4-digit number or “Office
Code”. This code also translates into a “Billet” or placement slot for the command of the
division, and the starting point for all the assigned job positions within that division. The
following table lists the primary divisions within the Department of the Star Fleet as
specified under Star Fleet Regulation 2600. Office Codes that are in bold-faced type
are the large primary divisions, whereas those that are not boldfaced are the smaller
subdivisions of the Executive Division.

The function of each division will be described in their respective sections within this
chapter. In addition, a detailed description of each primary division can be found in their
associated volume of the Star Fleet Command Manual as shown in the above table. To
help in organizing the various functions of Star Fleet, this chapter will group Star Fleet
divisions by their primary function.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS
Administrative divisions are those basically related to the operation and management of
Star Fleet Command itself. The exception to this definition is the Star Fleet Division
of Federation Space Operations, which was created to deal with specific Federation
functions that were given to the Department of the Star Fleet that dealt with civilian
space travel and exploration.
Administrative divisions include:
 Star Fleet Division of Personnel

 Star Fleet Division of Representatives
 Star Fleet Division of Federation Space Operations
 Star Fleet Bureau of Finance and Accounting
 Star Fleet Bureau of Records
 Star Fleet Office of the Inspector General
OPERATING DIVISIONS
Operating divisions are those concerned with the operation and support of Star Fleet
forces and the Shore Establishment. With the exception of the Star Fleet Division of
Materiel, which is primarily commanded by an officer of the Star Fleet Supply Corps,
all other operating divisions will be commanded by line officers.
Operating divisions include:
 Star Fleet Division of Operations

 Star Fleet Division of Materiel
 Star Fleet Division of Security
 Star Fleet Marine Corps
Note that the Star Fleet Marine Corps is not a division per se, but instead, is a major
operational or “Type” command.
TECHNICAL DIVISIONS
Technical divisions are those organizations concerned primarily with the analysis, design
and fabrication of Star Fleet assets. In general, there are no line officers in command of
technical divisions, only Staff Corps officers from the Star Fleet Engineering Corps,
except for the Star Fleet Construction Command, which will be commanded by an
officer of the Star Fleet Construction Corps. A complete description of the Star Fleet
Division of Engineering, and all of its subdivisions, will be described in more detail in
Section 8.3 of this chapter, and in Volume XIII of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
MEDICAL DIVISIONS
Medical divisions are those organizations relating to and associated with the Star Fleet
Medical, Dental, Medical Services, and Nurse Corps. The medical division, and its
bureaus, is another case where only Staff Corps officers are in command. A description of
the Star Fleet Division of Medicine and all of its subdivisions will be described in detail
in Section 8.4 of this chapter, and in Volume X of the Star Fleet Command Manual.
SCIENTIFIC DIVISIONS
Scientific divisions are those organizations that are concerned with scientific research and
study for Star Fleet. The Star Fleet Division of Science also comprises the Star Fleet
Science Corps and as such, only officers of the Science Corps will be in command of
any Science Division office. A description of the Star Fleet Division of Science and all
of its subdivisions will be described in Section 8.5 of this chapter, and in Volume XII of the
JUDICIAL DIVISIONS
Although the Star Fleet Division of Justice is considered an Administrative Division, it

deserves a section on its own since it represents the Judicial Corps of the Department
of the Star Fleet. Judicial divisions are those organizations concerned with the execution
of military justice, the adjudication of Federation justice in deep space, and the analysis
and investigation of crimes within the Federation territories. A description of the Star
Fleet Division of Justice and all of its subdivisions will be described in Section 8.6 of this
chapter, and in Volume VIII of the Star Fleet Command Manual.
EDUCATIONAL DIVISIONS
Educational divisions are those relating to and concerned with the training and education
of the personnel within the Department of the Star Fleet. The Star Fleet Division of
Education is another example of an Administrative Division that deserves its own section.
A description of the Star Fleet Division of Education and all of its subdivisions will be
described in Section 8.7 of this chapter, and in Volume XIV of the Star Fleet Command
Manual.
MISCELLANEOUS DIVISIONS
The Department of the Star Fleet also contains some organizations that cannot be
neatly grouped under any of the aforementioned categories. As such, these divisions will
be placed under the general category of “Miscellaneous Divisions”. The following are
considered miscellaneous divisions:
 Star Fleet Bureau of Chaplains and Lay Persons

 Star Fleet Office of Public Relations
These divisions will be described in Section 8.8.

8.1 ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS

In this section the administrative divisions of the Department of the Star Fleet, along
with their related organizational substructures, will be discussed. As stated in Section 8.0,
administrative divisions are those that basically deal with the operation and management
of the Department and of Star Fleet Command itself. As such, these divisions primarily
handle the various administrative functions for the Department, as well as some special
functions that may ordinarily be delegated to the civilian authority of the Federation.
STAR FLEET DIVISION OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Star Fleet Division of Representatives (SFREP) was established to function as a

liaison between the civilian authority and Star Fleet, and to provide a source of consular
personnel to aid the Department of the Star Fleet in its peacekeeping role. As such,
the division maintains a pool of consular and diplomatic personnel to act as ambassadors,
and to aid and counsel field Commanders in the techniques and procedures regarding
diplomacy, negotiation, Federation law and other processes for the purpose of mediation
and arbitration.
This division also comprises the Star Fleet Diplomatic Corps, a special branch of the
Star Fleet specializing in Interplanetary Law and diplomacy. The division is commanded
by an officer of this corps with the title of Chief of Star Fleet Representatives, also
known as the CREP. This officer will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral (see Section
4.4 of this volume for more details.)
The Star Fleet Division of Representatives also acts to maintain a check and balance
between the military and non-military activities of the Federation. As such, the CREP will
have direct access to the Director: Star Fleet Command as well as communication with
the Federation Council. In this role the CREP will counsel the Director on all matters
pertaining to the relationship between the military and the civilian government, which is
typically handled through the civilian assistants to the Director, specifically, the Consul
General.
In view of the above functions, the Star Fleet Division of Representatives will have
the added responsibility of recruiting and training qualified consular personnel for their
mission within Star Fleet. In addition to Service personnel, the division will also recruit or
hire civilians with experience in diplomacy or education in the political sciences. Many of
the officers in this division are graduates from the Star Fleet Academy with degrees in
Political Science, Interplanetary Studies or Law.
Personnel in this division are essentially semi-military, but hold the rank of an officer of the
Star Fleet Service. The enlisted force of this division will primarily be composed of select
yeomen with the duties of administrative assistance, record keeping, documentation and
other general clerical duties. The division also employs civilian clerical and administrative
personnel, primarily for the branch locations or at System Bases.
To execute its mission efficiently, the division is divided into three bureaus as illustrated in
Figure 1a81.1. These bureaus, as described in the subsequent sections, implement the
primary functions of this division.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF CONSULAR AFFAIRS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Consular Affairs (BUCONAF) is primarily concerned with the
diplomatic mission of Star Fleet. This function, in accordance with ARTICLE 29 of the
Star Fleet Charter, is performed through the employment of consular personnel or Star
Fleet Representatives. These counselors will typically be assigned to the Operating
Forces in regions where a Federation ambassador may not be present, or assigned to
missions for the purpose of peace-keeping, or to begin the work of establishing treaties
and agreements with newly discovered worlds under ARTICLE 7 of the Charter.
To fulfill its diplomatic role, the Star Fleet Office of Representatives and Consuls will
assign special consular personnel, known as Fleet Representatives or Space Sector
Representatives (FLTREP), to peacekeeping and first contact missions, and as semi-
permanent crewmembers to line Star Fleet vessels to act as counselors to the command.
However, FLTREPs are only assigned to fleet squadron commands at this time. As such,
there are only 63 such FLTREPs distributed throughout the Operating Forces, with nine
of these being assigned as Sector Representatives or SECREPs. In the future each line
Starship will have its own counselor as they patrol and explore further out of Federation
territory. But at the present time, there are not enough resources to assign a counselor to
each line Starship.
The SECREP is the chief liaison to member and non-member worlds of the Federation
and represents Star Fleet in all matters pertaining to its consular role in that octant. The
SECREP is also the senior officer in charge of all FLTREPs that may be assigned to units
within the octant. They are officers of the Diplomatic Corps with the rank of Captain
and will usually be assigned to the staff of a Sector Commandant. As such, the SECREP
reports directly to the Sector Commandant regarding the consular activities within the
octant, as well as to keep him informed of any changes in the treaties and agreements
between the Federation and the local governments contained therein.
BUCONAF is also responsible for training the Representative force in diplomacy and
conflict management. Representative training includes education in Federation law and
the laws, regulations and diplomatic procedures of the many worlds that constitute the
Federation. As such, Representatives function as Federation ambassadors. The office
responsible for this task is the Star Fleet Office of Representative Training.
In command of this bureau is the Deputy Chief: Bureau of Consular Affairs or CCAF,
the duties of which are described in Section 4.4 of this volume. The CCAF will typically be
an officer of the Diplomatic Corps with the rank of Commodore.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF PLANETARY RELATIONS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Planetary Relations (BUPLNREL) functions as the liaison
between the member systems and Star Fleet. Typically, consular personnel are assigned
to the major Star Fleet System Bases and on some stations to assist local Federation
ambassadors. Their purpose is to maintain good relations between the member systems
and Star Fleet, and develop relationships with new or non-member systems. In addition,
these consular individuals will be the first to serve as mediators for disputes involving the
local government and the Federation, and will apply their ARTICLE 33 and 34 authorities
to the pacific settlement of any dispute or will facilitate mediations until a representative of
the Federation Council is made available. They are called Staff Representatives or
STFREPs because they are part of the Base Commander’s staff, but report directly to
the SECREP of the octant to which they are assigned.
At the present time there are eleven STFREPs located on the System Bases of every
member world of the Federation. Each STFREP will have a small staff of about 3 persons
to handle the administrative duties of the office. However, there are no STFREPs assigned
to stations at this time, but there are plans to incorporate STFREPs at the larger stations
in the outlying regions of the Federation.
The commander of this bureau will always be an officer of the Diplomatic Corps with the
rank of Commodore, and will have the title of Deputy Chief: Bureau of Planetary
Relations or CPAR.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF TREATIES AND AGREEMENTS[2]
The primary mission of the Star Fleet Bureau of Treaties and Agreements (BUTRAG)
is to review and maintain the various treaties and agreements between the member and
non-member systems and the United Federation of Planets. Although the Federation
Council, specifically the Bureau of Planetary Treaties within the Department of
Foreign Relations, maintains all original treaties and agreements with the Federation,
BUTRAG will maintain copies in order to keep the field Commanders informed on the
specifics relating to such treaties and agreements, and on any changes to or the status of
any treaty or agreement. As such, BUTRAG will work closely with the Federation
Bureau of Planetary Treaties regarding any treaty or agreement made and ratified by
the Federation Council and any changes to such treaties and agreements.
In fulfilling this role, BUTRAG will develop and issue guidelines to field Commanders and
FLTREPs when dealing with governments concerning any treaty or agreement with that
government. Command guidelines include the manner in which government officials are
addressed, rules of protocol, treaty limitations, an explanation of customs and mores, a
synopsis of laws and regulations, as well as other hints and “Rules of Thumb” that may be
applied when dealing with a government.
BUTRAG has the additional task of reviewing all preliminary agreements made by Star
Fleet consuls to ensure compliance and consistency with Federation law prior to their
submittal directly to the Bureau of Planetary Treaties for Federation Council review
and approval, or an authorized Federation ambassador. As such, BUTRAG has a number
of officers from the Star Fleet Division of Justice to perform the legal review of such
documents. These officers are assigned to the Star Fleet Office of Treaty Review and
are under the supervision of the Commander: Treaty Review and Assessment.
Copies of all treaties and agreements will permanently be stored within the Star Fleet
Document Center, a unit of the Star Fleet Bureau of Records and Manuals, which
will be described later in this chapter. As such, BUTRAG maintains a small office with a
small staff to manage these documents that is under cognizance of the Commander:
Treaty and Agreement Management.
The commander of this bureau will generally be an officer of the Diplomatic Corps, but
may also be an officer of the Judicial Corps as well. The commander of this bureau will
have the title of Deputy Chief: Bureau of Treaties and Agreements or CTAG and will
normally have the rank of Captain.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF RECORDS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Records (BUREC) was established as the central repository
for all Star Fleet records and documents and along with it, manages all of Star Fleet's
document storage facilities. BUREC is also the central agency for the printing, binding and
distribution of all hardcopy Star Fleet manuals, procedures and other official publications.
Lastly, the Star Fleet Bureau of Records creates, maintains and enforces Star Fleet
standards, and is responsible for training those officers within the Operating Forces
holding the position of Records Officer.
This bureau is commanded by an officer of the line with the title of Chief of Star Fleet
Records (CREC), and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral (see Section 4.4 of
this volume for more details.) Figure 1a81.2 presents the topmost organization chart for
the Star Fleet Bureau of Records.
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF RECORDS AND MANUALS
The function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Records and Manuals (BUMANPUB) is to
maintain, store, and publish Star Fleet records, manuals and documents. In addition, this
bureau will also be responsible for managing all of Star Fleet’s document storage and
printing facilities. Figure 1a81.3 illustrates the organizational structure for this bureau. This
figure shows the four offices that comprise the bureau. The bureau is commanded by an
officer of the line with the title of Deputy Chief: Bureau of Star Fleet Records and
Manuals (CMAN), and will typically have the rank of Commodore.
Within BUMANPUB, the Star Fleet Document Center is the central repository for all
Star Fleet records and documents. This includes all manuals, procedures and process
documents, all correspondences – written or otherwise transcribed, all drawings, blueprints
and plans, and any other official Star Fleet document. However, the Document Center
does not store all of Star Fleet's documents, but only the official Federation and Star
Fleet documents. For books and other documents external to the Federation or Star
Fleet, the Star Fleet Office of Libraries will be responsible for maintaining those.
The Star Fleet Printing Office is responsible for all the printing and publishing facilities
within the Department of the Star Fleet. This is the organization where all the manuals,
procedures and other documents are printed. In this context, printing not only involves
producing hardbound documents, but also all tapes, disks and other media used to store
manuals and documents. The Star Fleet Printing Office is also responsible for shipping
and sending all official Star Fleet manuals and documents to all commands.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Libraries (FLEETLIB) is to manage all the
many libraries within the Department of the Star Fleet and throughout the Operating
Forces. This office also has the responsibility of preserving the consistency of all libraries
in terms of numbers and types of books and documents throughout the fleet. In addition
to hardbound documents, FLEETLIB also creates and maintains the databases of all Star
Fleet ship and base Library-Computers. It is this office that creates and packages the
central computer library of all ships and bases.
Finally, BUMANPUB also manages Star Fleet Central Records, a huge computer facility
containing thousands of databases relating to the various classes of records. All records,
such as ship’s logs, are delivered to this office and stored in databases within the system.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Star Fleet Bureau of Standards (BUSTAND) is the largest subdivision within the
Star Fleet Bureau of Records. BUSTAND is responsible for developing, maintaining
and enforcing Star Fleet standards, for maintaining Star Fleet Regulations, and for
setting the standards of measurement throughout the Department of the Star Fleet,
which is accomplished through the measurement and calibration of the instruments and
tools used throughout the Department. Lastly, the bureau is responsible for coordinating
and ensuring the consistency of the standards developed by all of the other divisions
within the Department of the Star Fleet. BUSTAND is commanded by an officer of the
line with the title of Deputy Chief: Bureau of Star Fleet Standards (CSTD), and will
typically have a rank of Commodore. Under the command of the CSTD are the various
offices that comprise the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards, as illustrated in Figure
1a81.4.
The Office of Fleet Standards is responsible for the basic standards used by Star Fleet.
Standards such as the color and shape of Star Fleet emblems, seals and flags, as well as,
the standards for uniforms, terminology and protocol are the responsibility of this office.
Many of the standards managed by this office can be found in Chapter 7 of this volume. In
addition, this office is responsible for maintaining the Star Fleet Regulations.
The Office of Technology Standards generally works with the Star Fleet Division of
Engineering in establishing the standards relating to the design, purchasing, production
and use of technology within Star Fleet. Such standards include the type of hardware and
software that will be used throughout the fleet. In addition, this office will evaluate and
approve all third-party software and equipment that will be used by Star Fleet. Moreover,
the Office of Technology Standards will determine the standard panels and screens to
be displayed by all the computers and control systems in order to maintain a consistent
look of displayed information. This office will also set the standards for all communications
within and external to Star Fleet, and will establish and regulate the electromagnetic and
subspace frequencies for private, commercial and military communication used within the
Federation.
The Office of Safety Standards is tasked with developing the standards and procedures
relating to workplace safety throughout the Department. In fulfilling this role this office will
determine, certify and standardize all safety and safety-related equipment and systems in
use by Star Fleet, and will work with the Star Fleet Division of Engineering regarding
safety standards and the safety-related equipment required in the design and construction
of all Star Fleet vessels and structures. This office will also perform safety inspections of
all commands and to report its findings to higher authority. Such safety inspections will be
performed alongside any other inspection or assessment being performed by auditors from
the Inspector General's office.
The function of the Office of Medical and Health Standards is to work with the Star
Fleet Division of Medicine in establishing and maintaining the standards relating to
medical practice and the health of all members of the Department of the Star Fleet.
Although the Star Fleet Bureau of Medicine and Surgery will develop most of the
standards regarding medical practice, the Office of Medical and Health Standards will
help the bureau in making such procedures standard across the entire Department. In
addition, this office will work with the Star Fleet Division of Personnel in establishing
the physical health and fitness standards used in the criteria for acceptance into the Star
Fleet Service.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Office of Weights and Measures fundamentally maintains the measurement and
calibration standards of the Federation. In this context, a standard is a physical object
used in establishing a specific measure. As such, this office will set the standard units of
measurement to be used throughout the Department. In addition, this office also has the
responsibility for setting the standards regarding the calibration of the scales used to
measure the weight of cargo. All interplanetary cargo must be weighed using the same
standard of measure and the scales used to measure cargo mass must perform within the
established margins of error. Most of these standards are presented in Section 7.1 of this
volume.
The function of the Star Fleet Testing Laboratory is to test and analyze all equipment
for compliance with standards. The “Testing Lab”, as it is known, will test and certify all
the instruments to be used in the calibration of other instruments and tools. In addition,
the Laboratory will also perform destructive and non-destructive tests on materials to
ensure compliance with engineering standards and specifications, and will create standards
concerning the manufacturing, fabrication and use of such materials.
The Office of Instruments and Calibration performs the actual physical calibration and
certification of sensitive electronic equipment such as sensors and other navigational tools.
In most cases the equipment must be brought to this office for certification. As part of the
certification process this office establishes the frequency and scheduling of calibrations.
The Office of Measurement and Calibration Services was created to perform the
required calibrations and certifications in the field. This office contains a relatively large
staff of instrumentation specialists that travel throughout the fleet measuring and testing
instrumentation, scales and other large measuring devices. Most of their work will be
performed based upon a schedule, but they will also perform calibrations and tests by
request as well. In addition, these specialists will also accompany the Star Fleet Board of
Inspection and Survey during in-service inspections or INSURVs, and are normally a
member of the maintenance staff onboard Star Fleet repair ships and facilities.
The Office of Standards Conformance was created to ensure that all Star Fleet
standards are being upheld. This office will review and ensure that the standards produced
by other divisions will conform to Star Fleet standards. This office will also ensure the
proper use of Star Fleet symbols, emblems and trademarks, and will investigate any
suspected or actual misuse of them by persons or agencies internal or external to the
Department.

STAR FLEET BOARD OF RECORDS CORRECTION
The Star Fleet Board of Records Correction is not a full-time office, but is assembled
whenever a dispute occurs over the authenticity of a document, or when the truthfulness,
reliability or credibility of the information contained within a document is in question. If
such a question arises, the board will initiate an investigation, and if further information is
required, the board may defer the investigation to the Office of the Inspector General
or another Star Fleet investigative agency. Where a correction to the record is required,
the board will order the correction and it will become permanent. Should the investigation
determine that criminal activity was involved the matter will be turned over to the Star
Fleet Division of Justice.
In instances where a wrong was committed or incorrect information was provided in the
service record of any person within the Department of the Star Fleet, the Director will
order a correction of the record to remove any injustice against an individual in accordance
with Star Fleet Regulation 8350. Once such a correction is ordered, a board will then
be formed, an investigation into the matter initiated and a correction made.
The board consists of five officers of the Star Fleet Bureau of Records and will be
chaired by a President: Board of Records Examination, usually an officer within the
bureau with the rank of Captain.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Office of the Inspector General (SFCIG) is responsible for maintaining quality and
integrity within the Department of the Star Fleet and as such, investigates complaints
and concerns and will act on such complaints and concerns. The Star Fleet Inspector
General (SFIG), and the office itself, have direct communication with the Director: Star
Fleet Command in order to remain independent of other divisions within the Department.
In addition, the office is also tasked with establishing the Star Fleet Quality Assurance
Program, and enforcing Star Fleet Regulations.
Although not a division in itself, the Office of the Inspector General is presented here
primarily to describe the function of the various bodies contained within this office. The
organizational structure of this office can be found in Figure 1a81.5.
STAR FLEET BOARD OF INSPECTION AND SURVEY
Unlike other boards within the Department of the Star Fleet, the Star Fleet Board of
Inspection and Survey (INSURV) is a full-time permanent organization, consisting of
three four-person inspection teams. The function of this board is to conduct the in-service
inspections of Star Fleet ships and stations in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation
3500. In so doing, the board will perform acceptance trials and inspections of all ships,
service craft and self-contained stations prior to acceptance into Star Fleet service. In
addition, the board will also inspect Star Fleet vessels and self-contained stations already
in service to determine their material condition and to report on their operational fitness to
the Director: Star Fleet Command.
The board normally schedules such in-service inspections in advance. The typical schedule
for active-duty vessels is five years, whereas the schedule for stations will be eight years.
However, the Commanding Officer of any ship or station can request an in-service
inspection whenever the condition of his or her ship, base or station requires an inspection
under Star Fleet Regulation 4690. In such cases, the board will immediately act to
perform such an inspection. It should be noted, however, that this board has no relation to
other boards that perform Operational Starships Safeguards Examinations (OSSE)
or Operational Reactor Safeguards Examinations (ORSE), which deal only with the
proper operation and maintenance of a ship’s propulsion systems or a base or station’s
power plant.
The Star Fleet Board of Inspection and Survey is made up of five officers and seven
senior technicians. It is chaired by the President: Board of Inspection and Survey,
which will typically have the rank of Captain. However, the board may also include
persons from other divisions with specific expertise as may be required for the inspection.
The president of the board may also be assisted by such other officers or sub-boards as
may be designated by the Director: Star Fleet Command.
OFFICE OF THE STAR FLEET OMBUDSMAN
The function of the Office of the Star Fleet Ombudsman (IGOBM) is to investigate
and act on any complaint received. Such complaints may be received either in person or
anonymously. In addition to investigating complaints, this office will also accept, review
and recommend ways to improve Star Fleet processes. The Star Fleet Ombudsman is
typically an officer of the line with the rank of Captain.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF EXAMINATIONS AND AUDITS
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Examinations and Audits (SFAUD) is to carry
out the internal reviews of Star Fleet processes, policies and procedures. As part of this
function this office will perform the inspections and testing of commands in order to judge
their readiness for any service. Unlike the INSURV board, which examines the physical
condition of the command, this office examines the condition of the command in terms of
its performance through examining the personnel, procedures and records, and anything
else that would affect or indicate command readiness and efficiency.
Typically, this office will send a board of examiners to operating units to perform its audits.
These examinations are unscheduled and unannounced, the purpose of which is to take a
“snapshot” of the command’s readiness. In addition to this function the office will also
investigate issues concerning the leadership of the command under Star Fleet General
Order 18.
The Commander: Examinations and Audits (COMSFCAUD) is the officer in charge of

this agency and will typically have the rank of Commodore.
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Quality Assurance (SFQA) is to develop and
maintain the Star Fleet Quality Assurance Program (SFQAP), which is a planned and
systematic set of activities designed to ensure that variances in processes are clearly
identified, assessed and utilized in order to improve defined processes for the fulfillment of
the requirements and expectations of Star Fleet. The organizational structure of SFQA is
shown in Figure 1a81.6.
In general, each division within the Department of the Star Fleet must develop their
own quality assurance (QA) program using the standardized requirements and processes
established within the SFQAP. Therefore, the function of this office is to monitor these
programs to ensure that the quality assurance programs of the various divisions conform
to the requirements and guidelines set forth in the SFQAP. As such, this office will inspect
or otherwise, audit the processes and procedures developed by Star Fleet divisions for
compliance with the SFQAP, and will inspect and monitor these divisions to ensure that
they adhere to their own processes and procedures through scheduled and unscheduled
audits.
In addition to divisions and agencies inside the Department, external vendors and agencies
that supply materials, equipment or services to Star Fleet must also have an established
QA program that meets the requirements of the SFQAP as well. As such, the SFQA office
will also audit external vendors and agencies against their own QA program relative to the
SFQAP, perform inspections and audits on vendor records and processes, and will send
inspectors to vendor facilities to examine and inspect manufactured or purchased supplies
and equipment to ensure compliance with specifications prior to shipment to Star Fleet.
The Commander: Star Fleet Quality Assurance (COMSFCQAC) is the senior officer
responsible for the Star Fleet Quality Assurance Program as well as all the other
quality control and assurance programs within the Department of the Star Fleet. The
COMSFCQAC is typically a senior line officer with the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING
The Star Fleet Bureau of Finance and Accounting (BUFINACT) is the chief authority
for the control and management of all Star Fleet finances, monies and budgets. As part
of its functions the bureau will consolidate the budget requests from the various divisions
within the Department of the Star Fleet in order to determine the costs and expenses
of the Department for the fiscal period. The bureau will review and approve all requests of
the divisions and compare the budgets against Star Fleet financial plans. The bureau will
then submit the Star Fleet budget to the Federation Council Office of Management
and Budgets for approval and when necessary, the office will assist the Director during
any Federation Council hearing concerning the finances, budgets and expenditures of
Star Fleet.
The bureau is also in charge of all the monies distributed and spent by the Department,
and oversees the accounts of all the divisions within the Department. As a part of its duty,
the bureau will inspect and audit the financial records of all of the divisions to ensure that
the monies are being properly spent and accounted for. As such, the function of auditing
the divisions will typically fall upon the Star Fleet Controller.
The bureau is commanded by the Chief of Star Fleet Finance (CFIN), who is also the
chief financial officer for the Department of the Star Fleet. The CFIN is an officer of
the Star Fleet Supply Corps, and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral. The
offices that comprise the bureau are shown in Figure 1a81.7 and will be described in the
following subsections.
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGETS
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Planning and Budgets (FINPLN) is to resolve
and plan the financial needs for the entire Department. This office will gather the budget
requests from all the divisions in order to prepare the budget for the entire Star Fleet.
The office will review all requests and will approve, disapprove or modify such requests as
needed in order that they fit into the overall Star Fleet financial plan. This office will then
prepare the final Star Fleet budget for submittal to the Federation Council.
As part of its function, the Star Fleet Office of Planning and Budgets will also develop
the plans regarding the future budgetary requirements of the Department, and will make
any adjustments to the projected budget as a result of changes in priorities or conditions.
As such, this office is tasked with developing and maintaining the long-range financial plan
for the Department. This will be accomplished through analysis and financial projections
based upon the current and anticipated future requirements of the Department.
The Star Fleet Office of Planning and Budgets is managed by the Commander:
Planning and Budgets or COMFINPLN. The COMFINPLN is an officer of the Supply
Corps, typically with the rank of Commodore.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Accounts (FINACT) is to manage the
various accounts for the Department. Each division within the Department of the Star
Fleet is assigned an account in which the monies required to operate the division are held,
based upon the approved budget for the division. These accounts are essentially place-
holders for the purposes of internal accounting and do not actually contain real cash.
This office will also handle the fleet accounts as well. Every ship, base or station within the
Operating Forces is assigned an account for the operating expenses of the command.
This office will normally set the budget for the command based upon the expected needs
of the unit for the fiscal period. Specifically, the Fleet Accounts Section of the office will
work with fleet Supply Officers in developing the annual budget for their commands. Any
unspent monies in these accounts, at the end of the fiscal period, will be given back to the
general fund, and as with the divisional accounts, fleet accounts are basically placeholders
for internal accounting.
Other accounts include those external to the Department. All vendors, manufacturers or
suppliers of goods and services to the Department will be assigned an account when their
services have been contracted. However, unlike internal accounts, these accounts contain
real cash and all payments for goods delivered or services rendered are paid from of these
accounts. The Accounts Payable Section within this office manages all these external
accounts and will write the drafts or perform the money transfers from these accounts for
the payment of such goods and services.
In order to uphold the proper accounting and expenditure of financial resources, FINACT
created the Accounts Auditing Section. The function of this section is to audit all the
accounts by examining their financial transactions on a periodic basis. As a part of its duty,
the Auditing Section will travel to the numerous commands and inspect their records for
proper bookkeeping and overall fiscal responsibility. This section will then issue an audit
report to the CFIN for review and disposition. Should any question arise concerning the
proper management of Star Fleet finances, the CFIN may call upon the Star Fleet
Inspector General to further investigate the matter.
The Star Fleet Office of Accounts is managed by the Commander: Star Fleet
Accounts (COMFINACT), who is an officer of the Supply Corps with the rank of
Commodore.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PURCHASING
The Star Fleet Office of Purchasing (FINPUR) is the primary organization within the
Department of the Star Fleet that manages the purchases of all materials, supplies,
equipment and services for the Department. In addition, this office coordinates, manages
and approves the purchasing of supplies, materials, equipment and services for the other
divisions within the Department. However, individual commands may purchase goods and
services without having to directly go through this office, provided such purchases will be
made within the guidelines set forth by this office.
In addition to purchasing supplies and materials, this office is also the central agency for
the negotiation, establishment and maintenance of all supply contracts between the
Department of the Star Fleet and outside vendors, and will investigate and approve all
prospective vendors and other service providers. Recognized vendors will be placed on a
list of approved businesses with which Star Fleet may do business. No business or vendor
can sell any product or service to Star Fleet unless they are on this list. In addition, no
command within the Department may purchase or contract with any vendor that is not on
this approved vendor list.
The Commander: Star Fleet Purchasing (COMFINPUR) is the senior officer in charge
of this office. This person will typically be an officer of the Supply Corps and will have the
rank of Commodore.
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF DISBURSEMENT
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Disbursement (FINDSB) is to distribute and
transport monies to the fleet commands, Credit Unions and Paymasters.
This office is also in charge of all Star Fleet Paymasters. Paymasters are officers of
the Supply Corps assigned to bases and stations to disburse the payroll and allotments.
Star Fleet ships, on the other hand, do not normally have a Paymaster per se, instead,
it will be the duty of the ship’s Personnel Officer to distribute the pay to crewmembers.
Although ships have Supply Officers that are responsible for the basic management of
finances for the command they, typically, are essentially responsible for paying vendors for
supplies or services rendered, and not the crew.
The Star Fleet Office of Disbursement also manages all the Star Fleet Credit Unions
distributed throughout the Federation. These Credit Unions are depositories specifically
set up for use by Star Fleet service personnel and employees, and are not for use by the
general public. The office is responsible for selecting the locations for Credit Unions and
to manage the activities at these sites. This office will also be responsible for selecting and
hiring Credit Union personnel, which will typically be civilian employees.
At Star Base Central is located the Central Vault. This is a large secure area containing
several million credits of hard currency. This money is typically used to start large projects
utilizing civilian contract personnel. However, a portion of this money may also be used for
covert operations by Star Fleet Intelligence or for some other purpose.
This office is managed by the Commander: Star Fleet Disbursement (COMFINDSB),

who is an officer of the Supply Corps with the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF FINANCIAL RECORDS
The Star Fleet Office of Financial Records (FINREC) is responsible for and maintains
all the financial records, receipts, invoices and other financial records for the Department
of the Star Fleet. Its primary function is to gather the records for review and recording,
and will work with the Star Fleet Bureau of Records for the storage of Star Fleet
financial records. In addition, this office will also review all financial records. Should there
be a dispute or mistake concerning any record, this office will investigate, and if necessary
correct such record.
This office is commanded by the Commander: Star Fleet Financial Records

(COMFINREC). The COMFINREC is an officer of the Supply Corps and will typically
have a rank of Captain.

STAR FLEET DIVISION OF FEDERATION SPACE

OPERATIONS
The function of the Star Fleet Division of Federation Space Operations (SFCSO) is
to carry-out those responsibilities relating to the management, survey and regulation of
Federation space, as required under ARTICLES 2, 4, 6, 9, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 30 of the
Star Fleet Charter. Primarily, most of the functions specified in the aforementioned
articles are related to the law enforcement aspect of Star Fleet and deal primarily with
the civilian population and enterprises of the Federation as they venture out into deep
space. As such, Star Fleet, through this division, will manage all civilian exploration and
colonization activities, regulate civilian spacecraft and space travel within the Federation,
and establish and maintain the strategic plan for the Federation territories and beyond.
This division is separately organized from the Star Fleet Division of Operations, which
deals primarily with the military operation of the Star Fleet, but there is some overlap in
responsibilities and functions between the two divisions. For example, both divisions have
an exploration component - offices which manage exploration. However, the Star Fleet
Division of Federation Space Operations is responsible for and has only authority over
private and commercial civilian expeditions; whereas the Operations Division will have
authority only over Star Fleet initiated military expeditions.
In general, this division is considered an administrative division because it primarily deals

with the standards and regulations concerning operations within Federation space, and
does not take any action regarding violations within Federation space. Such enforcement
actions will be performed by Star Fleet Operations.
The division is divided into several commands or bureaus designed to handle the functions
and authorities conferred upon it as illustrated in Figure 1a81.8. These offices essentially
deal with the strategic direction of the Federation and the management of Federation
space.
The division is commanded by the Chief of Federation Space Operations (CFSO) who
is directly responsible to the Director: Star Fleet Command for all activities regarding
the maintenance, exploration, expansion and regulation of Federation space, the control
of space travel and the spacecraft that operate within Federation territory. The CFSO will
be an officer of the line with the rank of Vice Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF FEDERATION SPACE EXPLORATION
The function and object of the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space Exploration
(BUEXPLOR) is to initiate, plan and manage Star Fleet and Federation exploration
activities, as well as those special survey activities such as mineralogical, archeological and
any other technical, commercial or scientific expeditionary activity. In general, this bureau
is primarily concerned with exploration within Federation space. At this time only 68% of
all the Federation territories have been explored, which leaves 32% or approximately
412,000 cubic parsecs of Federation space that remains unexplored. Therefore, it is the
function of this bureau to explore, survey, map and otherwise bring these areas under full
Federation control. The bureau is divided into three administrative offices that handle the
various functions required to manage exploration activities as illustrated in Figure 1a81.9.
In performing its exploration function, Star Fleet will establish exploration, expedition or
evaluation stations on newly discovered planets. These stations are set up to evaluate the
planet for colonization, mineral resources or for other study purposes and will typically
contain a small survey team to perform its evaluations. This survey work will generally be
of short duration and when completed, the stations that were constructed for the effort
will not be dismantled, but will remain for future exploration purposes. Should the newly
discovered planet contain life, the evaluation station will be manned by scientists of the
Federation or Star Fleet for other purposes.
As part of its space exploration responsibility, this bureau will manage space cartographic
and surveying activities within the newly explored regions of Federation space. The data
obtained from such activities will be handed over to the Star Fleet Office of Maps and
Charts, which creates the charts and galactic maps used by the Federation. In addition,
the survey information will also be given to the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space
Navigation to assist them in their surveys.
In addition to Star Fleet exploration activities, this bureau is also charged with managing
all civilian private and commercial exploration activities as well. Private and commercial
exploration activities are performed in order to establish new colonies, mining operations,
trade centers and other commercial enterprises. Therefore, since Star Fleet is responsible
for managing Federation space under ARTICLE 22 of the Charter, all commercial and
private exploration and colonization enterprises must seek approval and permission from
Star Fleet to initiate such activities. Therefore, the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation
Space Exploration will review and approve all civilian applications for space exploration,
and will issue the licenses and permits necessary to carry out private and commercial
exploration and expeditionary ventures.
In performing its ARTICLE 22 obligation, the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space
Exploration will develop regulations, standards and requirements for commercial and
private exploration and expeditionary ventures. Licenses and permits issued to carry out
exploration are contingent upon meeting the standards and regulations relating to private
exploration. Such enterprises must agree to adhere to the requirements and conditions set
forth by Star Fleet, and this bureau will periodically inspect these enterprises to ensure
compliance with the standards and agreements on which the licenses were based.
In charge of this bureau is the Deputy Chief: Federation Space Exploration (CEXP).
The CEXP will be an officer of the line and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Strategic Planning (SFPLAN) is to establish
the strategic direction of the Star Fleet and the Federation. Strategic direction includes
the expansion of Federation space, the areas of space for future exploration, what worlds
should be brought into the Federation, the location of bases and stations, and other basic
long-range strategic objectives. The organization of this office is shown in Figure 1a81.10.
In addition to the planning the strategic direction of the Star Fleet, this office will also be
involved in the initiation, planning and managing of the base and station location process,
and will be responsible to survey and select the sites where Star Fleet bases and stations
are to be located in accordance with ARTICLE 23 of the Star Fleet Charter. As part of
this function, SFPLAN will initiate negotiations and agreements for the establishment of
bases and stations within or upon sovereign territory. Although this office has the authority
to negotiate the terms of such agreements, it must, nevertheless, submit such agreements
to the Judge Advocate General for legal review and approval.
As part of its planning function, this office also consists of the Political Analysis Section,
which analyzes galactic and interplanetary political situations. Based on their analyses this
section will make the recommendations required to support the long-range strategy and

The Star Fleet Office of Strategic Planning is commanded by the Deputy Chief: Star
Fleet Strategic Planning (CPLN), who will typically have the rank of Commodore.
DIVISIONAL BOARDS
The Space Operations Division also manages several boards and appraisal panels that
perform reviews and make recommendations to the various offices within the division. As
such, some of these boards will be discussed here.
Although an office within the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space Navigation, the
Federation Space Safety Board will be separately described here. The function of this
board is primarily to review the standards and regulations developed by the Star Fleet
Bureau of Federation Space Navigation against the Federation regulations regarding
space navigation. As such, this board is the custodian of the Interplanetary Rules for
Preventing Collisions in Space. In addition, this board is also authorized to investigate
accidents that occur out in Federation space. Accidents and collisions will be studied and
analyzed in order to determine whether they were caused by faulty procedures, incorrect
flight plans, inadequate maps or charts, unsafe spacecraft, failure to follow procedures,
regulations or flight plans, or simply operator error. The board will then publish its findings
and make its recommendations on a course of action; either to correct the problem or to
prosecute an offender.
The Star Fleet Board of Colony Selection and Assignment is a committee within the
Star Fleet Bureau of Colonies and Settlements made up of senior officers from that
bureau. The primary function of this board is to review and approve civilian commercial
and private colony applications. In addition, this board will review and approve the location
or placement of Star Fleet colonies and settlements as well. In either case, the location of
colonies will be analyzed and reviewed by this board in order to ascertain whether the site
location for the colony fits into the Federation’s, and Star Fleet’s, strategic plans.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF FEDERATION SPACECRAFT
The Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Spacecraft (BUSHIPS) is responsible for all
activities regarding the licensing, inspection and certification of civilian spacecraft that will
operate in deep space in accordance with Paragraph 2 of ARTICLE 4 and ARTICLE 30 of
the Star Fleet Charter. This bureau contains four offices to distribute the responsibilities
assigned to it as shown in the organization chart in Figure 1a81.11.
Within BUSHIPS the Star Fleet Office of Vessel Registration is tasked with issuing
the license and registration credentials to all civilian Federation vessels that venture into
deep space. All civilian spacecraft that venture out into deep space must be registered with
Star Fleet. As such, this office is primarily the administrative and record-keeping section
of BUSHIPS, which essentially processes the documentation from the other offices within
this bureau. The license and registration documents will only be issued after the vessel has
undergone a complete inspection to ensure its compliance with standards and regulations.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Vessel Compliance and Inspection is to
ensure that all civilian deep-space vessels meet the structural and safety regulations and
standards required for interstellar travel as published in SHIPREGs. As such, this office
will perform the necessary tests, evaluations and inspections needed to ensure that civilian
vessels meet the appropriate design and construction standards, and have the necessary
navigational, communications and safety equipment that are required to operate safely in
deep space. This office also has the responsibility of developing the regulations, standards
and requirements regarding the design and construction of private and commercial vessels
that will venture out into deep space, and to enforce such regulations as needed.
As part of its duty, the Star Fleet Office of Vessel Compliance and Inspection was
also given the authority to issue standard design licenses as well. That is, the builders of
interstellar spacecraft must also be licensed to sell their approved vessels to the public. In
addition, where a commercial manufacturer of deep space vessels designs and constructs
spacecraft for sale, this office will also review a ship design and issue a license for its sale.
This type of license will apply to all spacecraft sold under the approved design. As such,
individuals purchasing such craft need not have their specific vessel inspected so long as
no changes to the approved and licensed design were made.
BUSHIPS is also responsible for the proper operation of civilian spacecraft by owners. As
such, this bureau will perform tests and evaluations on all operators of deep-space vessels
and will issue Pilots and Master’s licenses to certified operators, the documents of which
will be sent to Central Records. The agency tasked with this function is the Star Fleet
Office of Operator Licensing. This office will also periodically audit the operator licenses
and will issue notifications for re-issuance of such licenses.
Lastly, to ensure that operators are properly qualified, the Star Fleet Office of Operator
Training was established to educate and train potential pilots in the proper operation and
navigation procedures for piloting vessels in deep space. This is performed through various
Operator Training Programs, which this office maintains. There are many operator-training
centers throughout the Federation and this office will manage or license all such training
centers.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Spacecraft is commanded by the Deputy Chief:
Bureau of Federation Spacecraft (CSHP). The CSHP is an officer of the line and will
typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF FEDERATION SPACE NAVIGATION
The primary function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space Navigation, or
BUNAV, is to develop and maintain the regulations, standards, guidelines and procedures
regarding the safe handling and navigation of vessels that operate within the Federation
in accordance with the Interplanetary Rules for Preventing Collisions in Space. The
procedures developed by this bureau will be used in the training programs for space vessel
operator’s licenses, and will be utilized to develop the ship and station design requirements
and standards relating to vessel navigation and handling. The organizational structure for
this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.14.
As stated above, BUNAV is responsible for establishing and maintaining the standards and
regulations regarding the safe navigation of the vessels that operate in deep space. This
particular function is the primary responsibility of the Star Fleet Office of Navigational
Regulation. As such, this office creates, maintains and publishes all of the Navigational
Operations Regulations or NAVREGS, which must be followed by all space vessels and
their masters whether civilian or military. These NAVREGS were developed based upon
the Interplanetary Rules for Preventing Collisions in Space, which is a set of rules
agreed upon by all the member worlds of the Federation. In addition to NAVREGS, this
office will also be responsible for maintaining the Federation Standard Coordinate
System used in space navigation, as well as the rules governing how the system will be
employed.
BUNAV also contains the Star Fleet Office of Space Surveys which is tasked with
managing and coordinating the surveying and mapping of Federation space, the purpose
of which is to survey Federation space in the outlying regions in order to establish its
boundaries and to reconcile the boundaries against treaties and agreements. When such
surveys and measurements have been completed, marker buoys will be placed that send
out both visual and electronic signals indicating the boundaries of Federation space. In
addition to this form of survey, the Star Fleet Office of Space Surveys will also survey
Federation space in order to maintain a catalog of the objects located in deep space that
could cause a hazard to space navigation. This survey is not only performed for reasons of
space safety alone, but also in fulfillment of Star Fleet’s ARTICLE 22 obligation to protect
Federation property. Once space has been inventoried the information will be submitted
to the Star Fleet Office of Maps and Charts for recording.
The Star Fleet Office of Maps and Charts is not only responsible for preparing and
maintaining space maps and charts, but is also responsible for creating and maintaining
the star and navigational databases for the entire Federation. The charts developed by
this office will be loaded into the Library-Computers of all Star Fleet ships and bases, and
into the navigational computers of all Federation civilian vessels as well.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Flight Plans and Routes is to develop and
manage space traffic corridors and to assign routes to private, commercial and military
spacecraft. All civilian spacecraft must submit a flight plan for travel in Federation space
to this office. This office will review and approve all private and commercial flight plans in
open space. No ship operating in deep space can do so without an approved flight plan.
The Deputy Chief: Bureau of Federation Space Navigation (CNAV) is the senior
officer in command of the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Space Navigation and will

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF COLONIES AND SETTLEMENTS
The function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Colonies and Settlements (BUCOLS) is to
manage all colony and settlement activities for the Federation government as required
under ARTICLE 21 of the Star Fleet Charter. This includes both civilian commercial and
private enterprises as well as those initiated by Star Fleet. However, colonies initiated and
managed by Star Fleet will come under the direct cognizance of the Office of Star Fleet
Colony Operations, while private and commercial colonies will come under the authority
of the Office of Civilian and Commercial Colonies. The organizational chart for this
bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.15.
The Star Fleet Office of Civilian and Commercial Colonies performs all the reviews
and approves all applications and plans for establishing commercial and private colonies,
and other such settlements. All civilian colonization or settlement enterprises must apply
for licenses and permits before the enterprise can be initiated. As such, this office will
review all plans and make all necessary recommendations and approvals of such plans.
Agreements will then be negotiated between the enterprise and Star Fleet, primarily that
which will relate to the security of the colony, particularly those that will operate at the
outer rim of Federation space. In addition, owners of private and commercial colonies
will work with this office to establish the replenishment and medical examination schedules
for registered colonies and settlements as required under ARTICLE 9 of the Charter.
Unlike the Star Fleet Office of Civilian and Commercial Colonies, the Office of Star
Fleet Colony Operations deals only with those colonies, settlements and expeditions
initiated and managed by Star Fleet. As such, there is no licensing or permit process
required. Most of the colonies established by Star Fleet are basically military or scientific
outposts and once in operation, this office will largely be concerned with verifying and
managing the material needs of the colony and then, scheduling the replenishment of such
colonies.
The Star Fleet Office of Colony Standards is responsible for developing the standards,
regulations and requirements for private and commercial colonies and settlements. Such
standards, called COLREGS, include the requirements for the placement of the colony or
settlement, the necessary planetary conditions, the purpose of the colony or settlement,
and other rules regarding such things as the form of government or management, medical,
sanitation and safety requirements, food supplies, etc. Such rules apply to both Star Fleet
and civilian colonies.
To ensure that civilian and commercial colonies and settlements comply with the standards
and regulations once the colony has been established, the Star Fleet Office of Colony
Regulation will periodically inspect and examine all colonies. Such inspections will be
performed once each year to ensure compliance with the standards and agreements on
which the licenses were issued. However, this office may also carry out impromptu or
unscheduled inspections at any time.
The Star Fleet Office of Colony Records maintains the documents and records of all
registered colonies, including the Star Fleet Colony and Settlement Register, and as
with all such offices, will submit its documents to Central Records for storage.
BUCOLS is commanded by the Deputy Chief: Bureau of Colonies and Settlements

(CCOL) and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET DIVISION OF PERSONNEL
The Star Fleet Division of Personnel (SFPER), commonly known as the Personnel
Division, is the primary organization responsible for the recruitment, qualification, pay,
ranking, welfare, promotion, discipline, discharge and retirement of all Service and civilian
personnel within the Department of the Star Fleet. In addition, this division is tasked
with determining and maintaining the manpower needs of the Department as required
under ARTICLE 17 of the Star Fleet Charter.
In determining the manpower needs of the Department, this division has the authority and
responsibility to create and manage the many job classifications within the Department,
and to determine the numbers and types of such job slots, including the skills needed to
perform the functions within such occupations. As such, this division manages the size and
number of job slots or billets within the Department, and is the central authority for the
assignment of personnel to such billets and duty stations. This includes civilian and foreign
personnel hired by the Department as well as military personnel.
The Division of Personnel is also responsible for the training and indoctrination of all
personnel that enter the Star Fleet Service, or that are employed by the Department
of the Star Fleet. And although the Star Fleet Division of Education will train Service
personnel, the Personnel Division will primarily be concerned with initial training and
indoctrination. The function of this training is to orient new recruits and to determine their
suitability to military life and discipline, which has the additional function of separating out
undesirable individuals from the Service.
The Personnel Division is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the pay and
wage scales of everyone within the Department of the Star Fleet. As such, the division
will establish salary grades and designations for both Service and civilian personnel, and is
directly responsible for paying all personnel within the Department. In addition to paying
personnel, the division will also handle the insurance policies and any pay allowances such
as automatic deduction of payments as allowed by law or regulation.
The Personnel Division is also responsible for supplying and equipping personnel. Such
supplies include uniforms, rank badges, insignias, and personal items. In addition, it was
this office that originally developed the uniforms, badges and insignias used by the Service
today. As such, this division is the only organization with responsibility over the look and
design of Star Fleet uniforms, and will establish the standards and regulations regarding
the design, fabrication and use of the Star Fleet uniform and its accouterments.
The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel (CPER) is the senior officer in charge of all activities
regarding the management of Star Fleet personnel, and will customarily have the rank of
Admiral, the duties of which are described in more detail in Section 4.5 of this volume
and in Section 2.1 of Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual.
The organizational structure for this division is illustrated in Figure 1a81.16. The various
bureaus and offices contained within this division will be briefly discussed in the following
subsections, but a more detailed description of the division will be presented in Volume III
of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF FORCE PLANNING
The Star Fleet Office of Force Planning (FORCPLAN) within the Star Fleet Division
of Personnel has the responsibility of assessing the overall manpower requirements for
the Department of the Star Fleet. As such, this office is tasked with evaluating and
determining current force requirements, recruiting or hiring personnel as needed to fulfill
such requirements, and to establish recruitment goals. The organizational structure for this
office is illustrated in Figure 1a81.22.
The responsibility for determining the current manpower needs for the Department rests
with the Star Fleet Office of Manpower Assessment. To carry out this responsibility,
this office will examine and analyze the current force levels in order to determine near-
term force requirements. Force levels are continuously changing as new commands are
coming on line and personnel are being separated or retired. As a result of this analysis,
this office will submit monthly reports on the current state of Star Fleet forces and will
publish recommendations regarding desired force levels and recruitment goals.
Aside from current force needs, the Star Fleet Force Planning Section of FORCPLAN
is tasked with projecting future force requirements. To aid in accomplishing this goal, the
Planning Section will receive data from the Star Fleet Office of Strategic Planning
(SFPLAN) and will evaluate it in order to project the future of the force as a result of the
planned expansion of Federation territory, the increase in the number of ships, bases and
stations, or the number of new worlds from which potential forces can be obtained. This
office will also perform studies on force trends and demographics, and submit such studies
and reports to SFPLAN. As part of these studies this office may also recommend future
sources of Star Fleet personnel.
The Star Fleet Recruitment Office within the Star Fleet Office of Force Planning
has the responsibility for recruiting individuals into the Department of the Star Fleet. In
addition, the Recruitment Office also has the responsibility of managing all of Star
Fleet's recruitment facilities and personnel distributed throughout the Federation. All
Star Fleet shore facilities contain recruitment areas whereby an individual may “sign-up”
for service. These recruitment facilities will customarily have a Star Fleet Recruitment
Officer available to aid and guide applicants, and to answer any questions an applicant
may have regarding the Service. As such, this office manages all Recruitment Officers
and recruiting personnel, which entails selecting and training such personnel in recruitment
procedures, and will assign such individuals to recruiting facilities.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Force Planning and Allocation (CFORPLN) is the title
of the officer in command of the Star Fleet Office of Force Planning and is the senior
officer in charge of all activities regarding the assessment and allocation of manpower for
the Department of the Star Fleet. The CFORPLN will typically be an officer of the line
with the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MATERIEL AND SUPPLY
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Materiel and Supply (PERSUP) is
to assess the needs of and equip Star Fleet personnel with essential equipment such as
uniforms, personal necessities and other material needs. Therefore, the primary function of
this office is to ensure that all Star Fleet personnel are properly equipped and that their
personal needs are satisfied. Regarding civilian employees, this office is also responsible
for equipping civilian employees with the materials needed for them to perform their work,
and to maintain an adequate supply of such materials. In the case of civilian or contract
labor, this office will furnish these individuals with the tools and supplies needed by them
to carry out their occupations, which will include any work clothing that may be required.
The organizational structure for this office is illustrated in Figure 1a81.23.
One of the primary duties of this office involves the design and fabrication of Star Fleet
uniforms. Although the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards will establish the look
of Star Fleet uniforms, it will be PERSUP that will actually design the uniforms. Uniform
design involves the location of seams and openings, as well as the selection and quality of
the materials used to make uniforms. Once developed, uniforms will be tested by the Star
Fleet Testing Laboratory for durability, strength, comfort and other criteria, as set forth
by PERSUP. The office specifically tasked with the design and fabrication of uniforms, and
of uniform devices and components, is the Office of Star Fleet Uniforms.
As a part of its aforementioned function, PERSUP is responsible for contracting civilian

industries for goods and services. Therefore, the Star Fleet Office of Supply Contracts
was created to secure and manage the many contracts with suppliers and manufacturers.
As such, this office is charged with selecting the vendors that will supply Star Fleet with
the necessary equipment and supplies as well as personal needs, and will work with these
external vendors regarding the quality of such equipment, supplies and personal material.
However, it will be the Star Fleet Office of Planning and Procurement that processes
all contracts and procurements, while the Star Fleet Supply Command will be in charge
of the acquisition, storage and distribution of fleet and personnel supplies.
In addition, PERSUP is also responsible for supplying Star Fleet Service personnel with
other personal items such as toiletries, personal hygiene products, civilian clothes and
other personal items. Such items are important for the morale of Service personnel while
on duty in deep space and as such, stores and small shops are designed into Star Fleet
ships, bases and stations for the purchase of such items. The responsibility for supplying
personal items falls under the purview of the Office of General Personnel Supplies.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Personnel Materiel and Supply (CPERSUP) is the
senior officer in command of all activities regarding the procurement of materials and
supplies required to equip personnel within the Department of the Star Fleet. The
CPERSUP is an officer of the Supply Corps and will typically have the rank of Rear
Admiral.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PERSONNEL DISBURSEMENT
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Disbursement (PERDSB)
is to manage and dispense all pay to members of the Department of the Star Fleet.
Most pay within the Star Fleet Service is automatically credited to personal accounts on
a monthly basis. These are essentially electronic fund transfers to the financial institution
of the individual’s choice. However, while on patrol or out in deep space, Star Fleet crews
do not receive cash, but will purchase merchandise using their Star Fleet Identification
Card (IDC) as needed. The IDC will automatically deduct the amount tendered from their
personal account. But, should the individual need hard currency, Star Fleet Paymasters
and Star Fleet Credit Unions are available. The organizational chart for this office is
Within the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Disbursement is the Office of Star Fleet
Paymasters. The function of this office is to manage and assign Star Fleet Paymasters
from the Star Fleet Office of Disbursement to the various commands. Paymasters
are normally assigned to shore facilities and generally, are not assigned to ships, except to
the larger vessels such as Attack Carriers. On ships the Personnel Officer will usually
handle any disbursement of pay or allowances.
The Star Fleet Office of Allotments, controlled by the Star Fleet Office of Personnel
Disbursement, is responsible for the allotment of an individual’s pay to outside persons,
institutions or creditors. An individual can set up programs whereby they can automatically
pay all of their bills, debts and creditors each month. This is an essential service seeing as
many in the Service are on patrol in deep space for months at a time and cannot readily
discharge their financial obligations. In addition, by law, each person within the Star Fleet
Service is required to maintain a good credit standing by paying their debts as implied in
Star Fleet Regulation 8691. This office also handles all the life and other insurance
coverage that is provided to Service personnel.
The function of the Star Fleet Pay Records Section within the Office of Personnel
Disbursement is to maintain the pay records of all persons within the Department of
the Star Fleet. As such, this office is responsible for maintaining an accurate accounting
of all pay dispensed and to ensure that all persons within the Department have been justly
paid and their allotments properly dispensed.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Personnel Disbursement (CPERDSB) is in command of

the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Disbursement and is the senior officer responsible

is typically an officer of the line and will have the rank of Vice Admiral. Next to the Chief
of Star Fleet Personnel, the CSFP is the most senior officer within the Personnel
Division, and when a replacement for the CPER is required, the CSFP will usually be the
first person considered.
The organizational structure for this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.17. The various
bureaus and offices contained within this division will be briefly discussed in the following
subsections.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF SERVICE PERSONNEL
The Star Fleet Bureau of Service Personnel manages all the activities concerning the
military personnel that serve Star Fleet. The organizational structure for this bureau is
illustrated in Figure 1a81.18.
The Star Fleet Officer Corps section of this bureau manages all aspects regarding Star
Fleet officers. This office sets the duties and authorities of officers in accordance with the
Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet Regulations and Federation law. It is this office that
establishes the criteria for advancement and promotion, and will maintain the Lineal List
of Line and Staff Corps Officers, which is relied on as the basis for the promotion and
advancement of officers within the Service.
The Star Fleet Office of Enlisted Personnel will manage all aspects regarding Star
Fleet enlisted personnel. This office establishes the ratings and classifications of enlisted
personnel as well as the criteria for promotion and advancement within these ratings. This
office will also assess enlisted manpower in terms of rating and billet requirements. That
is, this office tracks and analyzes the number of ratings or job slots within the Service in
order to manage the staffing requirements for the fleet. This information is continuously
supplied to the Star Fleet Office of Force Planning.
The Star Fleet Office of Personnel Assignment handles all the aspects regarding the
assignment of Star Fleet officer and enlisted personnel to duty. This office will determine
where manpower is needed and will assign personnel to duty stations based upon this
need. This office will also handle all duty assignment requests and preferences from Star
Fleet personnel as well, and will establish the methods and procedures for duty rotations,
which include ship to shore and shore to ship rotations, transfers and special assignments.
The Star Fleet Office of Special Services is tasked with providing Star Fleet personnel
with recreational facilities and services intended to maintain high morale. Such leisure time
aids may be areas where personnel can work on their hobbies. As such, this office will
ensure that all Star Fleet bases and stations are equipped with services where personnel
can pursue their off-hours activities, or where Service personnel can socialize or engage in
activities such as sports and games. As for ships, this office will ensure that all Star Fleet
ships contain ample recreational facilities or equipment as reasonably possible.
The Star Fleet Office of Personnel Housing is responsible for all the housing needs of
Star Fleet Service personnel and their families. This office will normally allocate or build
housing for its Star Fleet personnel, and will also provide assistance to Service personnel
in obtaining permanent housing for its personnel as well. In addition, this office will also
manage all the military housing located on Star Fleet System Bases. Where housing is
required, this office will work with the Star Fleet Construction Command in the design
and construction of military housing. However, the daily responsibility for military housing
rests with the local base housing administration.
The task of the Star Fleet Office of Dependent Services is to provide the dependents
of Star Fleet Service personnel with such services as health and dental care, educational
and job assistance as required under ARTICLE 55 of the Charter.
The Commander: Bureau of Service Personnel (COMPERSRV) is the senior officer in

command of all activities concerning Star Fleet service personnel. The COMPERSRV is
an officer of the line and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF ALIEN PERSONNEL
The function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Alien Personnel (ALNPERS) is to manage all
the alien and foreign personnel employed by Star Fleet at bases located in foreign or
non-member territory. Many of the stations and facilities of Star Fleet are located within
alien or non-member territory and as such, these facilities will usually employ local civilian
personnel. As such, it is the function and responsibility of this bureau to create and enforce
the regulations regarding such civilian employees. The organizational structure for this
bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.19.
Since there are many such Star Fleet facilities located in foreign spaces, the Star Fleet
Bureau of Alien Personnel will manage all the local or branch offices of this bureau. The
function of these branch offices is to manage the native residents hired by these facilities.
In addition, these branch offices are also responsible for maintaining good relations with
local governments, businesses and institutions.
In general, the reason for having a special bureau assigned to foreign or alien personnel is
essentially related to the pay and benefits given to these people. The pay scales of foreign
and alien employees are not the same as that established for Federation citizens, and will
vary depending on the location of the facility. The salaries and wages of foreign employees
will be based upon local economic conditions and requirements. Federation regulations
regarding wages and benefits do not apply to Star Fleet facilities that are located outside
the boundaries of Federation space, or within non-member systems. Therefore, the
management of salaries and wages must be based upon local laws and customs. As such,
this bureau will manage the various wage scales and work contract obligations.
This office also evaluates alien applicants to the Star Fleet Service. This is usually the
case where a foreign employee, working at a Star Fleet facility, decides to enter Star
Fleet Service. Normally, such individuals would not be permitted to enter the Service in
the usual manner. However, exceptions or dispensations may be granted to distinguished
foreign individuals that wish to enter the Service. These individuals will usually enter the
Service as an enlisted person and will be restricted in the type of work they may perform
and in the level of security access they may possess.
Where there may be a particularly special case where a foreign individual may enter the
Officer Corps, these individuals will typically become Limited Duty Officers (LDOs)
within a particular specialty, and will be restricted to duty only within their profession or
specialty. In addition, these officers will usually not be assigned to duty that is of a highly
sensitive nature. Such special individuals will never become line officers.
The Commander: Bureau of Alien Personnel (COMPERALN) is the senior officer in

command of this bureau, and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral. Under the
COMPERALN are the various commanders and managers of the local offices that deal
with the employment of alien personnel to Star Fleet facilities. The employment or
personnel resources offices at these facilities report directly to the COMPERALN.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF CIVILIAN PERSONNEL
The function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Civilian Personnel (CIVPERS) is to manage
all the civilian and non-Service personnel employed or contracted by the Department of
the Star Fleet within Federation territory. In some sense, this bureau is similar to the
human resources departments of many major corporations within the Federation. The
organizational structure for this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.20.
Within CIVPERS is the Star Fleet Office of Employment which manages the recruiting,
hiring and initial training of civilian employees to the Department. This office is composed
mostly of civilian personnel. Individuals from this office will routinely travel throughout the
Federation seeking qualified individuals for positions within the Department. Interviewers
from this office will customarily recruit professionals from the colleges and universities, and
administrative persons from secondary schools, and will also handle all the hiring details.
This office, located at Star Base Central, is primarily concerned with the employment of
civilians to Star Fleet Command, but will also manage the branch employment offices
located throughout the Federation and at all System Star Bases. The function of these
branch offices is to manage the local civilian employees hired to work at these bases, and
those that may work at nearby Star Fleet Stations.
The Star Fleet Office of Employee Relations basically manages the relations between
Star Fleet management and the civilian workforce. In addition, this office will also handle
all disputes between individuals or between an individual and management. In order to
accomplish this aim, the Star Fleet Office of Employee Relations created a mechanism
for investigating and resolving employment related concerns in a reasonable, timely, and
fair manner. As part of its function, this office also sponsors the Employee Relations Index,
which provides employees with the opportunity to voice their opinions on key areas such
as accountability, communication, career development and workplace environment. In
addition, the Star Fleet Office of Employee Relations also handles all labor relations
between the Department of the Star Fleet and any legally recognized trade union,
guild or labor organization. As such, this office carries out all labor contract negotiations
and establishes and maintains the agreements and contracts with these organizations.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Civilian Personnel also contains the Star Fleet Office of
Contractors. The function of this office is to manage the various contract personnel that
are temporarily employed by the Department. This office also manages the contracting
process as well, and sets the standardized contracting rates. The Office of the Judge
Advocate General, prior to approval and implementation, will typically review such
contracts.
Also within the Star Fleet Bureau of Civilian Personnel is the Star Fleet Office of
Compensation and Benefits. The function of this office is to set and manage the salary
levels of employees, and will establish the benefits packages given to employees such as
health and dental care, insurance and retirement plans. This office will also establish the
requirements and criteria for promotions and the advancement of civilian employees within
the Department.
The person in command of this bureau will have the title of Commander: Bureau of
Civilian Personnel (COMPERCIV), and will usually be a line officer with the rank of
Rear Admiral. Although a Star Fleet agency, most of the persons within this bureau will
be civilian employees administered by civilian managers.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PERSONNEL TRAINING
The Star Fleet Office of Personnel Training is principally responsible for the initial
training and indoctrination of personnel entering the Star Fleet Service, and for the
orientation and training of civilians employed by the Department of the Star Fleet. The
organizational structure for this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.21.
The largest organization within this office is the Star Fleet Recruit Training Command,
which is primarily responsible for the training and indoctrination of recruit personnel, and
of prospective officers that enter the Service from outside the Star Fleet Academy. As
such, this office will be responsible for developing and maintaining the Star Fleet Recruit
Training Program and all recruit training facilities located throughout the Federation.
As part of its mission, this office is responsible for developing the criteria for acceptance
and completion of recruit training.
The Star Fleet General Training Office is tasked with developing, maintaining and
implementing standardized General Employee Orientation programs used throughout
the Department and by all Star Fleet facilities where civilians are employed. In general,
the orientation program is designed to educate new civilian and alien employees in the
rules, regulations and operations of the Department of the Star Fleet. In addition, new
employees will receive orientation in the organizational and management structure of the
Department, as well as orientation in their rights, responsibilities, pay, compensation, the
promotion process and benefits.
The Star Fleet Civilian Management Training Office primarily deals in the orientation
and training of civilian managers employed by the Department. Such managers are trained
in management techniques and processes, as well as training in general Star Fleet project
or departmental management. This office provides initial management training, as well as
advanced education in project management certification and other management courses.
This office will primarily consist of full-time civilian and contract instructors.
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Training Materials is to maintain the
training programs and facilities supplied with the proper tools and materials needed for the
various training programs. In addition, this office will establish the material requirements
of all Star Fleet Recruit Training Commands and will supply these commands with the
training materials needed to fulfill the recruit training requirements. In addition, this office
provides all the civilian training programs with the supplies, documents, handouts and any
special training equipment needed by the civilian training facilities and their programs.
The Star Fleet Office of Training Facilities is only responsible for the facilities needed
to train civilian employees of the Department of the Star Fleet. As such, this office will
only be responsible for ensuring that all Star Fleet locations where civilians are employed
have areas where the training and orientation of such employees can be performed. This
office will, in no way interfere or interact with the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers
within the Star Fleet Division of Education, which is exclusively responsible for the
training facilities of Service personnel only.
The Commander: Star Fleet Personnel Training (COMPERTRN) is the senior officer
in command of the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Training, and will typically have the

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PERSONNEL STANDARDS
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards is to establish the basic
standards regarding the appearance, advancement, entrance criteria and behavior of all
personnel within the Department of the Star Fleet. The standards developed by this
office will be derived from general Star Fleet standards, as set by the Star Fleet Bureau
of Standards, the Star Fleet Charter and Star Fleet Regulations.
To maintain the standards for professional behavior, this office established and maintains
the Star Fleet Code of Conduct, also known as BUPERSMAN-336. This document, the
Star Fleet Code of Conduct, sets forth the standards of conduct and ethical behavior for
all persons within the Department of the Star Fleet. Adherence to this code is required
of all service personnel, all civilian employees and representatives of the Department of
the Star Fleet. All Service personnel are required to be trained on the code as mandated
by Star Fleet Regulation 8610. A complete copy of the Star Fleet Code of Conduct
can be found in Section 6.8 of this volume.
In addition, this office will also create the standards regarding the shape, form, type, look
and color of Star Fleet uniforms, as well as the procedures for the care of such uniforms,
the manner and types of uniforms that must be worn under the circumstances prescribed
by Star Fleet Regulation 7000, and the dress codes required for military decorum as
specified in the Star Fleet Uniform Standard (BUPERSMAN-332).
This office also maintains the standards regarding awards. The Office of Personnel
Standards designs the look and form of all Star Fleet decorations, ribbons and medals.
However, before any medal, ribbon or award is finalized, the Federation Council must
approve the design and purpose of the decoration since it is the Federation Council
President that bestows all high-level awards, medals and other such honors upon Star
Fleet personnel. Conversely, this requirement will not include Star Fleet specific citations
or awards. These are bestowed to individuals, units or commands by the Director: Star
Fleet Command and as such, need not be approved by the Federation Council.
This office is also responsible for establishing the criteria and procedures for the promotion
and advancement of both officers and enlisted personnel, but establishes and publishes
the standards and procedures for advancement and promotion separately between the
two. For example the criteria for advancement for officers are published in BUPERSMAN-
341, while the criteria for enlisted personnel are published in BUPERSMAN-354. This
office also sets the criteria for advancement of civilian employees as well. In general, the
criteria for advancement and promotion, the advancement schedule, and the promotion
processes for persons within the Department of the Star Fleet must all be reviewed
and approved by the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel and the Director: Star Fleet
Command.
The Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards also sets the standards and criteria for
entrance into the Star Fleet Service. Criteria such as residency, age, education, physical
and mental fitness are all codified in guidelines (BUPERSMAN-392) set forth by this
office, published, and sent to all Star Fleet recruiting facilities. The guidelines are also
coded into electronic databases for use by the automated enlistment software.
The officer in charge of this office has the title of Commander: Star Fleet Personnel
Standards (COMPERSTD) and will generally be an officer of the line with the rank of
Commodore.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PERSONNEL RECORDS
The Star Fleet Office of Personnel Records (PEREC) is responsible for the security,
storage and maintenance of the personnel records of all persons within the Department
of the Star Fleet. As such, this office is tasked with instituting the regulations, standards
and procedures regarding the handling of personnel records, and to develop the formats
for such records.
As stated above, this office will maintain all personnel records and will coordinate with the
Star Fleet Bureau of Records regarding the storage and handling of personnel records.
Therefore, all personnel records will be maintained within Central Records and can only
be accessed only by authorized individuals. In addition, write-access to these records is
restricted to Commanding Officers, Personnel Officers, and selected BUPERS and
BUREC personnel. Individuals may view their own Service Record at any time, but will
have read-only access and cannot make any changes.
This office is also responsible for developing and issuing Star Fleet Identification Cards
or IDCs as well. IDCs are thin credit card like plaques that contain electronically encoded
information regarding the individual. A description of these cards will be presented in more
detail in Section 3.1 of Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual.
This office is headed by the Commander: Star Fleet Personnel Records, designated
COMPERREC, who is usually an officer of the line with the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF RESERVE PERSONNEL
The primary function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Reserve Personnel (BURESRV) is to
maintain the active and inactive Reserve Duty Lists and to maintain the whereabouts
and status of all members within the Reserve force. It should be noted that the Reserve
force does not include retired members of Star Fleet. Basically, Reserve personnel are
those that still have a contractual obligation to serve Star Fleet, but that are no longer on
active duty. The organizational structure for this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.25.
In addition, BURESRV also has the responsibility to keep the Reserve force informed of
current events within Star Fleet and to keep the Reserve force updated on any changes
to regulations, standards, pay, benefits or anything that may be of concern to persons on
Reserve status. Such administrative functions are performed by the Star Fleet Office of
Reserve Administration.
Within the Star Fleet Bureau of Reserve Personnel the Star Fleet Office of Reserve
Benefits will manage and maintain the benefits accorded Star Fleet reservists. Such
benefits include medical and health care, education and job assistance programs, and will
keep reservists informed on all changes to their benefits as well.
One of the primary responsibilities of the Bureau of Reserve Personnel is to maintain

the Reserve Force in a high state of readiness for service. This is accomplished through
continuously training the active and inactive Reserve personnel. This particular duty is the
responsibility of the Star Fleet Office of Reserve Training and Certification, which
will train reservists in the latest technology, and the latest procedures and practices used
within the Operating Forces of Star Fleet.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Reserves (CRES) is the senior officer in command of all
activities concerning the Star Fleet Reserve Force. The CRES is typically an officer of
the line and will usually have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Veterans Affairs deals primarily with veterans of the Star
Fleet - those that no longer have any obligation to the Star Fleet Service, but are still
accorded some benefits as a result of their service to the Federation. As such, this office
is responsible for maintaining relations with Star Fleet veterans, managing the benefit
programs and providing counseling services provided to veterans. The basic organizational
structure for this bureau is illustrated in Figure 1a81.26.
Within the Bureau of Veterans Affairs the Star Fleet Veterans Command manages
the entire population of Star Fleet veterans. It also provides information to veterans on
the location of veteran’s facilities and keeps the veteran population informed on changes in
benefits and other information of interest to veterans. This office is also responsible for
managing the compensation and pay benefits to veterans, and is responsible for managing
the hired staff for the bureau, usually veterans themselves.
The Star Fleet Office of Veteran Benefits is specifically responsible for managing the
benefits accorded to veterans. The benefits this office handles are primarily health care
and major medical, and the various group and term insurance policies available to veterans
and their families.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Veteran Employment is to help Star Fleet
veterans find employment in civilian life. As part of its services, this office also manages
the Star Fleet Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment program, which
provides services to enable veterans with service-connected disabilities to achieve optimum
independence in daily living, and, to the maximum extent feasible, obtain and maintain
employment.
The chief function of the Star Fleet Office of Disabled Veterans is to administer those
veterans that are on disabled status, which includes mental as well as physical disabilities.
This office also manages the various care and rehabilitation programs provided to disabled
veterans as well as managing the programs related to special prosthetic and sensory aids
to veterans.
Education is a major benefit given to veterans and therefore, is handled separately from
other benefits. As such, the bureau has the Star Fleet Office of Veteran Education to
manage all the programs designed to enhance the education and training of veterans.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Veterans Hospitals is to administer all the
veteran’s hospitals and medical facilities located throughout the Federation. As such, this
office is responsible for the state and operation of all veteran medical facilities. In addition,
this office is also responsible for the recruitment, training and management of medical
personnel at veteran hospitals and medical facilities.
Analogous to the Office of Veterans Hospitals, the Star Fleet Office of Veterans
Facilities manages all veteran’s offices and facilities, except hospitals, that are located
throughout the Federation. Such facilities are typically small branch offices located in
many communities on all of the member worlds of the Federation.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Veterans (CVET) is the senior officer in command of all
activities concerning Star Fleet veterans. The CVET will be an officer of the line and will

FLAG OFFICER REVIEW BOARD
The function of the Flag Officer Review Board is to review and approve those persons
selected to become flag officers – officers with the rank of Commodore and above. In
general, recommendations will usually be made by Flag Commanders in the field for the
advancement of personnel into the flag ranks by submitting their recommendation to the
Personnel Division for review and approval. It is the function of this board to approve or
disapprove the candidate. However, regardless of whether a candidate is selected and
approved by the board, in order for the candidate to be promoted to flag officer, the
Director: Star Fleet Command and the Federation Council President must make
the final approval of the candidate.
In addition to approving flag officers, the board will also have the responsibility of selecting
candidates to head Star Fleet divisions within the Department. Typically, the Flag
Officer Review Board will select several candidates and present them to the Director:
Star Fleet Command for his review and selection. Only after the Director has approved
a candidate can any person be placed into the position as a Division Director.
The Flag Officer Review Board is not a full-time organization, but is temporarily made
up of five senior flag officers within the Department, with the Deputy Chief: Star Fleet
Bureau of Personnel as chairman. The make-up of the board will depend primarily upon
whether the candidate is a line or Staff Corps officer. In the case of a line officer, the
board will made up exclusively of senior line flag officers from the Operating Forces.
However, in the case of a Staff Corps candidate, the board will predominantly be made
up of senior officers from the particular Staff Corps the candidate belongs along with at
least one line flag officer.

8.2 OPERATING DIVISIONS

In this section those divisions dealing with the operations of the Department of the Star
Fleet will be discussed. Operations, as it is defined here, is the execution of the missions
and functions of Star Fleet as specified in the Star Fleet Charter. Operating divisions,
therefore, are those that directly perform the functional aspects of Star Fleet, or that
support such operations. As such, they are the divisions directly responsible for executing
Federation policy.
STAR FLEET DIVISION OF OPERATIONS
The Star Fleet Division of Operations (SFOPS), also recognized and acknowledged as
Star Fleet Operations, is the primary organization in command of all the Operating
Forces and Shore Establishments of the Department of the Star Fleet. Operating
Forces consist of all the ships, craft, troops and personnel assigned to those assets, while
the Shore Establishment consists of all the bases, stations, facilities and personnel
assigned to these assets. As such, this division constitutes the bulk of what is referred to
as Star Fleet Operations. The organizational chart for the Star Fleet Division of
Operations is illustrated in Figure 1a82.1.
Basically, the Operations Division directs all the activities of the aforementioned assets
and personnel. This division organizes forces, manages the assets, deploys such forces and
assigns the missions on behalf of the Federation Council to these forces while ensuring
the readiness, effectiveness, and efficiency of those forces. Therefore, it is this division
that directs the Operating Forces to accomplish the goals and objectives to which Star
Fleet is assigned.
A secondary responsibility of this division is to keep the Director: Star Fleet Command
and the Federation Council informed on the latest intelligence. As such, this division is
the primary source of all military and political intelligence for the Federation as required
under ARTICLE 8 of the Charter. In so doing, this division analyzes and develops strategic
plans for the direction of Star Fleet and the Federation, and will prepare the plans for
the strategic deployment of Star Fleet forces based upon such intelligence.
The Chief of Star Fleet Operations (CSFO) is the senior officer in command of all the
Operating Forces and Shore Establishments of Star Fleet, as stipulated under
ARTICLE 42 of the Star Fleet Charter, and commensurate with his duties, the CSFO will
be an officer of the line with the rank of Admiral. Within the office of the CSFO is also
the Commandant of the Fleet Marine Corps (CMMC). The CMMC is the senior officer
in command of all the ground forces within the Star Fleet Service who will also have the
rank of Admiral. The CMMC will work with the CSFO in the development of strategy for
the Operating Forces, but reports directly to the Director: Star Fleet Command.
The commanders who report directly to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations are the nine
Sector Commandants in command of all the forces and bases within the Federation
territories they are assigned, the eight Fleet Commanders, five Group Commanders
and the two Treaty Zone Flotilla Commanders. These persons will be described in
more detail in Volume II of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR SHIP COMMAND
The function of Star Ship Command (SSC) is to manage those operations relating to
Star Fleet ships, craft and their crews. It is essentially an administrative command and as
such, all operations involving Star Fleet vessels are the sole responsibility of Star Ship
Command. In effect, this “Type Command” is in total charge of the entire Operating
Forces of Star Fleet. Star Ship Command is an independent branch of the Star Fleet
Service as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 5100. In addition, this command has the
responsibility, as delegated to it by the Director: Star Fleet Command, to maintain the
Star Fleet Vessel Register in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 2400.
As stated above, Star Ship Command is a branch of the Star Fleet Service and as
such, is in command of all personnel assigned to Star Fleet ships. All personnel working
within this branch of the Service will have a “SSC” designation applied to their name, title
or rating as specified in Paragraph 3 of Star Fleet Regulation 5320. In order to manage
the operations of ships and fleets, SSC is divided into seven offices designed to handle the
tasks associated with fleet operations. These offices can be seen in Figure 1a82.2 and will
be described in the subsequent paragraphs below.
Within SSC is the Office of Star Fleet Ship Personnel (SSCPER) operates much the
same way as the Star Fleet Division of Personnel. As such, this office will determine
ship complements and will make requests to the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel for the
allocation of personnel, and will work with the Star Fleet Office of Force Planning in
determining the force size of the fleet. In addition, this office will also make suggestions
regarding the selection of Fleet, Force and Flotilla commanders to the Chief of Star
Fleet Operations (CSFO). Typically, the CSFO will request SSCPER to supply a list of
qualified candidates to command such forces, but is not obliged to seek such suggestions
from SSCPER. The CSFO can select any eligible flag officer he or she so chooses, so long
as it meets with the approval of the Director: Star Fleet Command. However, SSCPER
will be directly responsible for determining the eligibility of Star Fleet officers to command
Star Fleet ships as required by Star Fleet Regulation 5750, and in the selection and
assignment of Commanding Officers to ships.
Another responsibility of SSCPER is to ensure that SSC personnel are properly trained
and qualified in their duties aboard ship. As such, this office will establish the criteria for
ship and on-board duty station qualification, and will design the training programs required
to fulfill such qualification. In addition, this office will establish special training programs
for Commanding Officers and other officers that may command, navigate or operate
Star Fleet ships, and will work with the Star Fleet Training Command in developing
such training programs.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Ship Operations (SSCOPS) is basically to
command the entire fleet. That is, this office manages and oversees the operations and
missions of the fleet within the context of their functions. As such, this office is tasked with
planning the missions assigned to it by higher authority, assigning such missions to fleets
and operational units, establishing the Rules of Engagement that the operating units
shall apply to the various situations encountered during their missions, and will monitor the
progress of such missions by the fleet. It is this office that will assign Star Fleet ships and
craft to Sectors, Fleets, Squadrons, Divisions or to other operating units or areas, as
well as to establish the designation of Fleets, Flotillas, Groups and other operational
units in space.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Office of Star Fleet Ship Operations also has the responsibility to analyze and
determine the number, the types and classes of ships required by the Operating Forces,
except those vessels that are assigned to the Star Fleet Transportation Command, the
Star Fleet Construction Command or the Star Fleet Space Exploration Command.
In addition to determining the number of ships, SSCOPS is also responsible to the CSFO
for the status and readiness of all Star Fleet ships. As such, this office must investigate
any condition that will affect the readiness of the fleet and will establish such Boards of
Inquiry as needed to investigate any loss of, or damage to Star Fleet vessels, and to
report their findings to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations and the Director.
SSCOPS is also responsible for establishing the duty stations and basic watch rotation
aboard all ships within the fleet. As such, this office will produce the Ship’s Operations
and Regulations Manuals (SORM) for each Star Fleet ship in commission. In general,
this office is responsible for developing and maintaining all the procedures and regulations
required for the safe operation of Star Fleet ships, and is responsible for developing any
special procedures, guidelines and instructions concerning the type of mission and function
assigned to each ship and ship type within the fleet.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Ship Materiel (SSCMAT) is to provide all ships
within the fleet with the equipment and supplies needed to operate effectively. This office
will also plan and schedule supply rendezvous with the fleet. SSCMAT also submits the
logistical requirements of the fleet to the Star Fleet Office of Fleet Logistics, who will
work with the Star Fleet Supply Command in allocating the necessary materiel.
The Office of Star Fleet Ship Planning (SSCPLN) is responsible for determining the
force needs of the fleet. As such, this office performs studies and makes recommendations
regarding the future of the fleet. Also, SSCPLN will work with the Star Ship Systems
Command (STARSHIPS) in ordering the construction of new ships, in the design of new
ship classes, and in the decommissioning of stricken or aging vessels. This office will also
be tasked with establishing the schedules for refitting and refurbishing Star Fleet ships
currently in active service. As such, SSCPLN will control which ships will undergo refitting
and when, and will provide the budget monies to STARSHIPS for building, refitting and
repairing the fleet.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Ship Services (SSCSRV) is to determine and
provide the fleet with the personal needs of ship crews, as well as determining the type of
recreational facilities that will be built into ships. As such, this office is primarily concerned
with the personal environment in order to foster a high degree of morale onboard ships.
The function of the Star Fleet Service Craft Command (CRAFTCOM) is to administer
the entire fleet of operating Star Fleet Shuttlecraft, Interceptors and other varieties of
service craft used for functional operations. As such, this office will determine the types
and classes of craft needed to support fleet operations and will make requests to the Star
Fleet Service Craft Systems Command for the construction or allocation of such craft,
and assign such craft to Star Fleet units. However, this function does not apply to craft
employed at facilities under the command of the Star Fleet Division of Engineering.
The Deputy Chief: Star Ship Command (CSSC) is the senior officer in charge of Star
Ship Command, and of all activities regarding the operations, missions and assignments
of Star Fleet ships, craft and their personnel. The CSSC will be an officer of the line, and
will typically have the rank of Vice Admiral.

STAR BASE COMMAND
The function of Star Base Command (SBC) is to manage all the operations connected
with the Shore Establishment. This includes all Star Fleet bases, stations, outposts and
other stations as well as the personnel assigned to these facilities. Similar to Star Ship
Command, Star Base Command is a particular branch of the Star Fleet Service as
specified in Star Fleet Regulation 5100 and is essentially an administrative command.
As such, all operations involving Star Fleet bases, stations and outposts will be sole the
responsibility of Star Base Command. In addition, this command will also have the duty,
as delegated to it by the Director: Star Fleet Command, to manage and maintain the
Star Fleet Station Register in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 2500.
As stated above, Star Base Command is a branch of the Star Fleet Service and as
such, is in command of all personnel assigned to Star Fleet bases and stations. Thus, all
persons assigned to this branch of the Service will have a “SBC” designation appended to
their title or rating as specified in Paragraph 3 of Star Fleet Regulation 5320. In order
to manage the operations of bases and stations, SBC is divided into six offices designed to
oversee the tasks and functions associated with base operations. These offices are shown
in Figure 1a82.3 and will be described in the paragraphs below.
Within SBC is the Office of Star Fleet Base Personnel (SBCPER), which operates
much the same way as the Star Fleet Division of Personnel. The basic function of this
office is to determine the complements of bases and stations, to make requests to the
Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel (BUPERS) for the allocation of SBC personnel, and to
work with the Star Fleet Office of Force Planning in determining the total force size for
the Shore Establishment. However, concerning the assignment of personnel to bases
and stations, it will be BUPERS that will actually issue the orders to SBC personnel for
their assignments. In addition, this office will establish the station personnel rotation
policy. Personnel assigned to Star Fleet bases and stations will periodically be rotated to
other bases or stations. As such, this office will establish the policy regarding the rotation
and reassignment of SBC personnel.
This office also has the responsibility for selecting the Commanders of System Bases to
the Chief of Star Fleet Operations. Typically, the CSFO will request SBCPER to supply
a list of possible candidates to command major bases, but is not obliged to request such
recommendations from SBCPER. The CSFO may select any eligible flag officer from this
branch of service he or she so chooses without the approval of the Director: Star Fleet
Command. Regardless, SBCPER is directly responsible for determining the eligibility of
Star Fleet officers to command Star Fleet bases, stations, outposts and other facilities in
accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 5730, and in the selection and assignment of
Commanding Officers and other personnel to bases and stations.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Base Operations (SBCOPS) is to manage all
Star Fleet bases and stations located throughout the Federation and therefore, is in
command of the entire Shore Establishment. As such, this office will establish the
functional mission of all Star Fleet bases, stations, outposts and other facilities, and will
determine the placement of Star Fleet bases and stations, as well as the number of crew
personnel, troops and other units that will be assigned to such bases, stations, garrisons
and outposts. In general, this office has the responsibility to determine the number, types
and classes of bases and stations that comprise the Shore Establishment, the size and
power of their defensive systems, and will work with the Star Fleet Office of Strategic
Planning regarding the selection of base and station locations.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
SBCOPS will also be responsible to the CSFO for the status and readiness of all Star
Fleet bases and stations. As such, this office will investigate any circumstance that will
affect the status and readiness of bases and will establish such Boards of Inquiry as
needed to investigate any loss of, or damage to Star Fleet bases and stations, and to
report their findings to the Chief of Star Fleet Operations and the Director.
SBCOPS is also responsible for establishing the duty stations and basic watch rotation
aboard all bases and stations. As such, this office will develop the Station Operations
and Regulations Manuals (SORM) for each Star Fleet base and station. In general,
this office is responsible for developing and maintaining all the procedures and regulations
required for the efficient and safe operation of all Star Fleet bases and stations.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Base Materiel (SBCMAT) is to keep all bases
and stations supplied with the equipment and materials needed to operate effectively. As
part of this responsibility, this office will plan and schedule supply convoys to bases and
stations, and will work with the Star Fleet Transportation Command in the delivery of
such supplies to bases and stations. SBCMAT will also submit the logistical requirements
of bases and stations to the Star Fleet Office of Fleet Logistics, who will work with the
Star Fleet Supply Command in allocating the necessary materiel.
The Office of Star Fleet Base Requirements (SBCREQ) is responsible for determining
the design and operating requirements of bases and stations. Such requirements include
the structural needs of bases and stations based upon local conditions, the offensive and
defensive capabilities of the station, and the manpower required to operate and maintain
the base or station. In general, this office has the responsibility to analyze and determine
the operating criteria of prospective new bases and stations, and will work with the Star
Fleet Office of Strategic Planning regarding the requirements in selecting the location
of such bases and stations. Lastly, this office will work with the Star Base Systems
Command (STARBASES) regarding the design and construction of bases and stations.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Base Facilities (SBCFAC) is to determine the
functional needs of Star Fleet bases and stations. This office will principally work with the
Star Fleet Corps of Engineers in the design of the structures and buildings that will be
built at base sites. In addition, this office will determine the requirements for any auxiliary
structures and equipment that may be necessary to support the operations at such bases.
For example: emergency and recreational facilities. As such, this office is responsible for
allocating and purchasing the basic equipment needed to operate bases and stations, and
to provide base and station crews with personal needs, clothing, and other items.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Base Security (SBCSEC) is to determine the
security requirements of Star Fleet bases and stations and will work with the Star Fleet
Security Forces Command in allocating the needed base security personnel. However,
this office can only determine the security force requirements and cannot exercise control
over such forces. This is solely the function of the Star Fleet Security Force Command.
The Deputy Chief: Star Base Command (CSBC) is the senior officer in charge of Star
Base Command, and of all activities regarding the operations, missions and assignments
of Star Fleet bases, stations and their personnel. The CSBC will be an officer of the line,
and will have the rank of Vice Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET ADJUNCT FORCES COMMAND
The function of the Star Fleet Adjunct Forces Command (AFOR) is to oversee all the
activities regarding the operations and missions of those Local Forces adjoined to Star
Fleet in a unified command, as specified in ARTICLE 15 of the Star Fleet Charter, and
to keep the Chief of Star Fleet Operations informed on the state and readiness of such
forces. In addition, this office will develop joint strategic and tactical operations with Local
Forces in order to establish and maintain effective battle plans should such forces become
necessary. This will typically be accomplished through the employment of specific “Task
Commands” utilizing such forces or through periodic military exercises with such forces.
As shown in Figure 1a82.4, within AFOR the Star Fleet Office of Local Force Planning
is responsible for planning the utilization of the Local Forces assigned to Star Fleet. As
such, this office determines where such Local Forces will be needed, the strength of the
force required to augment a Star Fleet force, and into what Star Fleet command
structure the Local Force will be placed. Finally, this office will determine the assignments
of Local Forces to specific Star Fleet commands and units in order that Local Forces
know exactly what Star Fleet unit they should report to when called.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Local Force Readiness is to evaluate the
capabilities and materiel needs of the various Local Forces available to Star Fleet. This
assessment involves determining the strengths and weaknesses of Local Forces, and to
make recommendations to the Local Force Commanders, through the Local Force
Liaison Officer, concerning the state of their readiness or any deficiency in terms of their
capabilities or in the material needs required to merge and operate within Star Fleet.
The Star Fleet Office of Local Force Training was set up to bring Local Forces up to
speed on Star Fleet operations, command processes, procedures, regulations and tactics
in order that the force can seamlessly merge into a unified command with Star Fleet. In
most cases training will involve Local Forces working together with Star Fleet forces in
simulated combat situations, war games and other maneuvers.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Local Force Materiel is to equip Local Forces
with the weaponry, communications, and other equipment and material required for them
to effectively operate within a Star Fleet command and control structure. In addition, this
office will evaluate the materiel needs of Local Forces, and of the unified commands in
which they will operate, in order to upgrade the force to a level appropriate for the unit.
AFOR also contains offices located on the worlds of Local Forces in order to maintain
close communication and relationships with such forces, and to perform the assessments
on the state of readiness of that force. By working within the Local Force command
structure and understanding Local Force operations, Star Fleet can quickly assess the
capabilities of these forces. In addition, this office will develop specific plans to merge such
forces into Star Fleet with their assigned Local Force Commander. Each office will
have a Local Force Liaison Officer whose responsibility it is to interact with Local
Force Commanders on the matters described and who report directly to the Deputy
Chief: Adjunct Forces on the state of readiness of such forces.
The Deputy Chief: Adjunct Forces (CFOR) is the senior military officer in command of
all activities regarding the operations and missions of the Local Forces that may be
merged into Star Fleet or into a unified command under the control of Star Fleet. The
CFOR will be an officer of the line and will typically have the rank of Vice Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET INTELLIGENCE
The function of Star Fleet Intelligence (ICOR) is to assist the Director: Star Fleet
Command and the Federation Intelligence Agency in carrying out the responsibilities
of collecting intelligence through personnel sources and by other appropriate means; to
correlate, analyze and evaluate intelligence relating to the security of the Federation and
to appropriately disseminate such intelligence; to provide the overall direction for and
coordination of the collection of intelligence outside the Federation through personnel
sources and by elements of the Intelligence Community authorized to undertake such
collection and, to coordinate with other departments, agencies, or elements of the United
Federation of Planets that are authorized to undertake such collection, ensuring that
the most effective use is made of the resources and that appropriate account is taken of
the risks to the Federation and to those involved in such collection; and to perform such
other functions and duties related to intelligence as the Federation Council President
or the Director: Star Fleet Command may direct, as authorized under ARTICLE 8 of the
Star Fleet Charter. The structure for this organization is illustrated in Figure 1a82.5.
Within ICOR, Star Fleet Intelligence Operations (IOPS) is the primary organization
for the collection of intelligence and in the performance of special intelligence operations.
This organization is comprised of all the necessary units for the collection of information,
clandestine or “black” operations, counter-intelligence, and other forms of espionage. Such
functions are organized into Units or Specialties depending on the nature of the operation
and the level of secrecy. Such organizations may have names such as Spec-8, Unit-12 or
Section 31, which will not be discussed here.
The analysis of all intelligence information will be performed by the Star Fleet Office of
Intelligence Analysis (INAL), which will gather information, correlate with other known
information sources, make security assessments, predictions and recommendations, and
will disseminate the information to the proper individuals or agencies and will prepare the
daily intelligence reports and briefings. In addition, this section maintains the Star Fleet
Intelligence Database and the links to other intelligence databases.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Intelligence Personnel (IPER) is to recruit
qualified personnel into the intelligence branch of the service, and to train officers and
operators in intelligence methods and in the use of special equipment and weapons. This
training program is highly classified and will not be discussed beyond this point.
As a separate agency, ICOR serves as an independent source of analysis on topics of

concern, but will work closely with the Federation Intelligence Agency and other such
organizations in the Intelligence Community to ensure that the intelligence consumer -
whether it is a Federation policymaker or battlefield commander – will receive the best
intelligence possible. As such, the Star Fleet Office of Intelligence Coordination
(ISYN) will perform the coordination of intelligence information and methods.
To accomplish its mission, ICOR engages in research, development, and deployment of

high-leverage technology for intelligence purposes. As such, the responsibility of this effort

operations, assets and personnel involved in the exploration of space by Star Fleet forces.
This “Type Command” was created under ARTICLE 6 of the Charter and charged with
the responsibility of assigning ships and assembling exploration units and teams to carry
out space exploration. As such, all Star Fleet scientific and exploration vessels will come
under direct authority of the Exploration Command, and although it may appear that
the operations of XCOM would be in conflict with the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation
Space Exploration, it does not. XCOM manages the Star Fleet personnel and assets in
the execution of exploration missions performed by Star Fleet, whereas BUEXPLOR
manages the Federation civilian and commercial exploration enterprises. And, although
BUEXPLOR is responsible for all the survey and mapping activities within Federation
space, it will be XCOM that will determine the forces and assets needed to perform these
activities. Although XCOM will work with BUEXPLOR in determining the areas within
Federation space that will require exploration, XCOM is solely responsible for exploration
activities outside Federation space. The organizational structure for this Type Command
is illustrated in Figure 1a82.6.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Exploration Planning is to determine and plan
the areas of space that will require exploration. Primarily, these areas of space are usually
outside the boundaries of the Federation. Once the areas of space have been determined
this office will develop the plans and schedules for the exploration effort, which may be in
the form of a full-scale expedition or as a mission assigned to the Operating Forces.
The Star Fleet Office of Exploration Operations is the organization within XCOM that
manages all of Star Fleet’s expeditions and exploration missions. As such, this office has
the responsibility for selecting the teams and determining the personnel composition of
such teams; developing and directing the assignments of all Star Fleet exploration and

STAR FLEET TRANSPORTATION COMMAND
The Star Fleet Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) was created for the singular
purpose of transporting Star Fleet personnel, troops, provisions and equipment to the
Operating Forces and Shore Establishments. With regard to supplying the forces,
TRANSCOM is in sole command of all the supply (SP class) vessels and will coordinate all
supply activities with the Star Fleet Supply Command and Star Fleet Operations. The
SP class of ship is primarily used by TRANSCOM to replenish Star Fleet vessels in open
space and to supply the smaller stations such as outposts. TRANSCOM is also responsible
for the transportation of all high-energy, radioactive and dangerous goods and wastes.
Supporting TRANSCOM are the various offices devoted to Star Fleet transportation as
illustrated in Figure 1a82.12, and will be described in the paragraphs below.
For heavy freight and large-scale equipment transportation, TRANSCOM utilizes large
cylindrical containers, which are towed to their destination by Fleet Tugs or TG-class of
ships. These containers will primarily be used to replenish and supply large stations and
bases. They can transport up to several hundred thousand metric tons of supplies and
equipment, and can be “piggy-backed” together to form trains. A complete description of
these containers can be found in Part 7 of Volume V of the Star Fleet Command
Manual.
Within TRANSCOM, the Military Space Lift Command (MILIFTCOM) performs all the
actual transporting of personnel and materials. As such, MILIFTCOM manages all Star
Fleet transportation vessels, tugs, freighters and fuel ships that are not directly assigned
to an operating unit or to the fleet. In addition to Star Fleet transportation vessels and
equipment, MILIFTCOM will also contract civilian transport services if the need arises. In
addition to contracted vessels, MILIFTCOM also retains a small fleet of unarmed, civilian-
manned freighters used to transport Star Fleet supplies and equipment from their source
vendors. These vessels are not commissioned Star Fleet ships, but those that have a
designation of Star Fleet Ship (S.S.), as stipulated in Star Fleet Regulation 2400.
Also within TRANSCOM is the Star Fleet Office of Container Management. The
function of this office is to manage all the containers, barges and devices used to transport
supplies and equipment. These Star Fleet containers range in size from the small shed-
like boxes, used to transport ship stores, to the immense 40 x 200 meter cylinders used to
supply very large bases and enterprises. These large containers are stored at Container
Management Facilities located near key bases. As the title implies, this office manages
containers and as such, maintains an inventory of all Star Fleet containers and monitors
the location of any container throughout the Federation using their unique Container
Tracking System (CTS). In addition to managing and tracking containers, this office is
also responsible for repairing and refurbishing containers as well. Star Fleet Container
Management facilities have extensive fabrication shops for the repair and maintenance of
its containers.
TRANSCOM also contains the Star Fleet Office of Convoy Routing, which plans and
schedules transport runs, supply rendezvous and large-scale convoys. This office will
determine and assign transport routes for all Star Fleet transport and supply vessels.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Transportation (CTRP) is the senior officer of the Star
Fleet Transportation Command. The CTRP is usually an officer of the line and will

STAR FLEET WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMAND
The function of the Star Fleet Waste Management Command (WASTECOM) is to

manage all forms of waste, refuse and hazardous material generated by Star Fleet. Such
wastes include biological, chemical, nuclear and high-energy products, byproducts and
wastes. In addition to managing the Department’s hazardous materials, Star Fleet is also
tasked with managing all high-energy, radioactive and other such materials for the entire
Federation, an authority that was given to Star Fleet. The reason for this authority was
to provide a centralized agency for the management, regulation and accounting of high-
energy, radioactive, biological and other hazardous waste and materials. In support of its
responsibilities WASTECOM contains various offices devoted to waste management as
illustrated in Figure 1a82.13, and will be described below.
In general, Star Fleet has no authority over high-energy fuel used by spacecraft that only
operate within their respective solar system. Local member governments have their own
regulations regarding the handling and storage of such material as it is utilized within their
system. However, Federation regulations require that all member systems handle their
hazardous material in a manner consistent with Federation guidelines. In general, this
implies that Star Fleet will handle the disposal and storage of all controlled material for
the purpose of material accountability.
WASTECOM also consists of the Star Fleet Office of Waste Disposal Operations,
whose primary responsibility it is to manage all operations and processes pertaining to the
disposal of wastes generated by the Star Fleet, and for all Star Fleet waste disposal and
hazardous waste storage sites. Star Fleet has constructed and maintains several facilities
used for the storage and disposal of hazardous goods. Many of these sites are geological
derelicts such as asteroids where high level wastes can be stored deep within the object.
As such, this office will manage all such facilities and will work with the Star Fleet Corps
of Engineers in the development, design and construction of Star Fleet waste facilities.
The Star Fleet Office of Waste Regulation, within this command, is responsible for
developing and maintaining the standards, regulations and procedures regarding the
handling, storage and disposal of all forms of wastes and dangerous goods generated by
Star Fleet. As part of this function, this office will develop standards regarding the design
and construction of the hazardous waste and storage facilities required to maintain such
wastes. Lastly, this office will maintain an account of all high-energy, radioactive, biological
and other hazardous wastes in terms of their qualities and quantities.
In addition to standards and regulations, the Star Fleet Office of Waste Regulation
will also be responsible for inspecting and auditing waste disposal and storage facilities.
This office will dispatch inspectors to the various waste sites in order to ensure that the
facility meets Star Fleet codes and standards, and that the facility is adhering to the
procedures and guidelines for the handling, accounting, disposal and storage of wastes.
The inspection process will also include the auditing of material accounting records as well.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Waste Management (CWST) is the senior officer in
command of WASTECOM, and therefore, in charge of all activities and facilities pertaining
to waste storage and disposal. The CWST will be an officer of the Supply Corps, and will

STAR FLEET DIVISION OF SECURITY
The Star Fleet Division of Security (SFSEC), also known as the Security Division or
the Security Service, is the primary organization responsible for the protection of Star
Fleet and Federation property and personnel. The Security Division provides security
personnel for the protection of all Star Fleet ships, bases and stations. In addition, this
division also has the responsibility for supplying security personnel to guard Star Fleet
brigs and prisons.
In addition to Star Fleet personnel and facilities, the Security Division also has the
responsibility to protect all Federation buildings and facilities. The Security Division
assigns security personnel with full law enforcement authority to respond to criminal
incidents and emergencies at Federation facilities. And as part of this aspect of security,
the Security Division will also provide security personnel or bodyguards to high-ranking
Federation, as well as, foreign officials and dignitaries that visit Federation space.
The Security Division is also responsible for managing all Star Fleet brigs and prisons.
Star Fleet prisons, which also include certain penal colonies, are facilities developed to
imprison and rehabilitate persons that break Federation law and as such, the majority of
the people that are imprisoned in these facilities are civilians that have been convicted and
sentenced by the Star Fleet Division of Justice. As such, few of the inmates are Star
Fleet Service personnel. Brigs, on the other hand, are strictly for Service personnel and
are built into every ship, base and station in the Star Fleet. However, the brigs built into
Star Fleet ships do not come under direct authority of the Security Division, but come
under the authority of the ship's Commanding Officer.
The Security Division will also be responsible for all facets regarding the security of Star
Fleet information. As such, this division is responsible for establishing the classification
levels and criteria for all documents within the Department, as well as for developing the
processes and procedures regarding the classification of Star Fleet documents and those
physical locations considered vital to operations or that contain highly sensitive equipment.
In addition, this division will also establish and issue the security clearances for all persons
within the Department, and will work with the Division of Personnel vis-à-vis the initial
investigation of incoming personnel and in determining their access level.
The Chief of Star Fleet Security (CSEC) is the senior officer in command of all security
forces and security activities within Star Fleet. The CSEC will be an officer of the line,
and will typically have the rank of Vice Admiral. The organizational structure for this
division is shown in Figure 1a82.14. The bureaus and offices within this division will be
discussed in the following pages.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET SECURITY FORCES COMMAND
The function of the Star Fleet Security Forces Command (SECFOR) is to manage the
operations, assets and personnel concerned with the protection of Federation and Star
Fleet personnel and property. SECFOR has a force of over 4000 persons specifically set
up to provide security services to all Federation buildings, facilities and other properties
administered by Federation agencies. Its personnel have full law enforcement authority
and will respond to criminal incidents and emergencies. This force also maintains a small
contingent of plainclothes detectives called Special Agents that will investigate crimes
that happen on Federation property and may conduct counter-intelligence investigations
as necessary. As part of its security function, SECFOR will develop emergency plans and
procedures for the mitigation of unnatural and natural disasters, riots, and other incidents,
and will maintain specialized response units such as Hazardous Materials, Explosive and
Disaster Response Teams.
SECFOR also provides security services during public demonstrations and special events,
including Federation Council presidential inaugurations and other events on Star Fleet
or Federation property. Special Agents will be dispersed among the crowds to ensure
peaceful demonstrations and to prevent any kind of incident or criminal activity.
One of SECFOR’s tasks includes the supervision of the approximately 10,000 contract
security guards assigned to protect Federation buildings and property. In addition,
SECFOR continuously monitors Federation facilities and facility alarm and emergency
systems through six Remote Dispatch Control Centers (RDCC).
SECFOR also manages the security forces assigned to protect Star Fleet bases and
stations. On large bases and headquarters, these forces are the Military Police for the
base. These forces perform all the law enforcement and security functions as does the
civilian police, but their legal jurisdiction is limited to the base property. In charge of these
Military Police forces is the base Provost Marshal. In addition to Star Fleet bases, this
organization may also dispense Military Police forces, under the direction of Star Fleet
Command and the Federation Council, to conflict areas within the Federation in order
to maintain law and order. In such situations a Provost Marshal will be assigned to the
planet or system who will have complete law-enforcement jurisdiction over the population.
In addition to base security forces, SECFOR also provides security contingents to all Star
Fleet prisons and major brig and detention facilities. In general, SECFOR will receive and
process requests for security personnel from the Star Fleet Bureau of Corrections and
once assigned, they will come under direct authority of the prison or brig Commanding
Officer.
Also, most Star Fleet ships possess a small contingent of security personnel on board at
all times. These persons will supply security services to guard and protect critical areas of
the ship, protect landing parties, comprise boarding parties and perform interdictions.
However, SECFOR will only manage the assignment of security personnel to Star Fleet
ships. Once assigned, such security personnel will come under direct authority of the ship’s
Commanding Officer.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Security Forces (CSECFOR) is the senior officer in
command of the Star Fleet Security Forces Command. The CSECFOR is an officer of
the line, and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF CORRECTIONS
The Federation Council gave Star Fleet broad law enforcement powers in ARTICLES 27
and 28 of the Star Fleet Charter. This power includes the arrest, detention, the trial and
imprisonment of individuals that break Federation law in deep space. As such, the Star
Fleet Bureau of Corrections (BUCORR) was established to deal with the imprisonment
and rehabilitation aspect of law enforcement. The top level organizational structure for the
Bureau of Corrections can be seen in Figure 1a82.15.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Prisons and Brigs is to manage all Star Fleet
prisons, brigs and detention facilities, and is responsible for the condition and maintenance
of all Star Fleet detention facilities, except those that are on board Star Fleet ships. In
so doing, this office will develop the procedures for the operation and maintenance of all
Star Fleet brigs and prisons. In addition to managing such facilities, this office was also
given the authority to analyze and select the locations of Star Fleet brigs, prisons and
penal colonies. Once the location is selected and approved by higher authority, this office
will work with the Star Fleet Office of Prison Systems Engineering and the Star
Fleet Construction Command to begin and oversee the construction of the facility.
The Star Fleet Office of Penology was created to assess the effectiveness of Star
Fleet prison and rehabilitation methods. This office is essentially made up of Star Fleet
and civilian psychologists, sociologists and law enforcement specialists with expertise in
criminal detention and rehabilitation. In addition, this office will perform studies on prison
management as well as the methods and theories employed in rehabilitation in order to re-
integrate convicts back into society.
The Star Fleet Office of Prison Systems Engineering is the engineering branch of
BUCORR. This office is responsible for developing the designs of Star Fleet prisons and
brigs, as well as the layout and design of Star Fleet penal colonies. In addition, this office
will also be involved in the design of prison and brig systems such as prisoner monitoring
and detention force fields, and will work with Star Fleet Engineering in the development
of such systems. This office is made up of engineers from the Engineering Division and
will usually be commanded by an officer of the Engineering Corps.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Prison and Brig Standards is to develop and
maintain the standards and regulations regarding the treatment and processing of inmates
and the standards relating to prison conditions and environment. The Star Fleet Office
of Prison Systems will integrate many of the standards developed by this office relating
to living conditions into the design of prison facilities. As part of its regulatory function, this
office will periodically inspect major prison facilities and penal colonies to ensure that the
facility was constructed and operates according to standards.
The Star Fleet Parole Board administers the parole process and the supervised release
of inmates before the completion of sentence. The board is made up of civilian personnel,
with at least one Star Fleet Penologist. The authority and the rulings made by this board
only apply to civilian convicts and do not apply to Star Fleet Service personnel that are
imprisoned in Brigs. Star Fleet is somewhat strict regarding crimes and criminal activity
within the Star Fleet and therefore, does not normally parole Service prisoners.
The Deputy Chief: Bureau of Corrections (CSECCOR) is the senior officer in charge of
all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Bureau of Corrections. The CSECCOR is
usually an officer of the line with the rank of Rear Admiral.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF ARMAMENT CONTROL
As part of its peacekeeping and law enforcement roles, the Department of the Star
Fleet created the Star Fleet Bureau of Armament Control (BUWEPS) to regulate
private arms within Federation space, as required under ARTICLES 13 and 18 of the Star
Fleet Charter. This function includes establishing the regulations and guidelines for the
manufacture, sale, possession and control of arms owned by the civilian population in
open Federation territory, establishing the regulations and guidelines regarding the
design, power and size of privately-owned arms, and the registration of civilian arms for
those individuals that only travel outside their respective systems. As such, Star Fleet,
and this bureau, does not have the authority to regulate arms and weapons within
sovereign planetary systems. The organizational structure for the Bureau of Armament
Control can be seen in Figure 1a82.16.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Arms Regulation (WEPREG) is to establish
the standards, regulations and procedures regarding the types, sizes and power of arms
that can be possessed by citizens in open Federation space. This office will also create
the regulations regarding the individuals that can possess arms, where arms can be stored
or placed on ships, how arms are to be stored on ships and what kind of personal weapons
can be carried. It should be noted that private and commercial vessels are not generally
allowed to have weapons of any kind permanently mounted on the craft, except as
authorized by Star Fleet. This would indicate a military-like vessel and as such, no
military type vessels can be owned or operated by private or commercial enterprises. As
such, most of the regulations developed by this office revolve around this principle. Lastly,
this office will create the procedures and guidelines required to register and inspect arms.
Within BUWEPS is the Star Fleet Office of Arms Registration, which has the
responsibility for registering privately owned arms. That is, all persons within the
Federation that plan on traveling in open space with weapons must register their arms
with BUWEPS. Registration not only includes personal weapons, but ship-mounted
weapons, if authorized, as well. The registration process will include the type of weapon,
manufacturer, serial number and owner’s information. This information will be checked
against the central database of registered and manufactured arms to ensure that the
weapon was legally obtained and that there are no duplicate serial numbers. This office
will then issue weapons permits after a proper inspection of the weapon has been
performed. This office will also maintain a central database of all arms and their owners
located at Central Records.
The Star Fleet Office of Arms Inspection, though separately organized, is an extension
of WEPREG. This office will utilize the procedures and regulations created by WEPREG in
order to ensure compliance by civilian and commercial operators. In addition, this office
will inspect and audit arms manufacturers to ensure that their designs and weapons meet
the standards set forth by WEPREG for such things as weapons size and power, and will
monitor and audit arms sellers to ensure that they are complying with the regulations
relating to the purchase and sale of private arms.
The Deputy Chief: Bureau of Armament Control (CSECWEP) is the senior officer in
command of all activities regarding the registration and control of public arms within the
Federation. The CSECWEP is an officer of the line, and will typically have a rank of Rear
Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET PROTECTIVE SERVICES COMMAND
The Star Fleet Protective Services Command (SECSERV) was established to protect
Star Fleet and Federation officials, as well as foreign dignitaries, from bodily harm. This
is accomplished by assigning specially trained security personnel, or Special Agents, to
protect designated officials and dignitaries. These special agents are plain-clothes security
personnel that follow the official around, usually at close quarters, and will safeguard the
residences and families of such officials and dignitaries.
Some of these special agents are permanently assigned to key Federation officials. For
example, the Federation Council President always has Special Agents protecting him
at all times. This protection not only includes the President himself, but all of his family
members as well.
High-ranking government officials of local system governments will typically utilize the
security services of their own Local Force to protect them. However, when outside the
boundaries of their respective system, Star Fleet will supplement the security team with
SECSERV personnel, which is generally known as a Transitory Security Arrangement.
The reason for such an agreement is primarily due to the fact that Local Forces have no
jurisdiction outside their respective system. As such, they must have Star Fleet augment
their security force while in open Federation space.
Foreign dignitaries that enter Federation space are also assigned Special Agents to
ensure their protection while a guest of the Federation. However, in most cases these
foreign dignitaries will have their own personal security force as part of their entourage. It
then becomes the responsibility of SECSERV to interact with and augment these foreign
security forces with Star Fleet security personnel while the dignitary is in Federation
territory. This has the dual security purpose of protecting the official from harm while a
guest of the Federation, and to monitor the activities of foreign officials and personnel
while they are within Federation space.
SECSERV also acts as a law enforcement agency, and will perform criminal investigations
related to the security of high-ranking officials. Agents will investigate possible threats to
officials and dignitaries, and will act on any information regarding such threats. In such
cases SECSERV will work with Star Fleet Intelligence and the Star Fleet Bureau of
Investigation regarding such threats.
SECSERV also manages the Federation Witness Protection program. The function of
this program is to conceal the identity of high-value witnesses in high-profile criminal
cases. This protection service not only applies to the witness before testimony, but may
also extend beyond the trial to protect the individual from harm or death. In such cases,
the witness is given a new identity, Federation papers, a new home and a job far away
from the individual’s home world.
The Commander: Star Fleet Protective Service (COMSECSRV) is the senior officer in
command of the Star Fleet Protective Services Command, and is an officer of the line
with the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF INFORMATION SECURITY
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Information Security (INFOSEC) is to create
and enforce the standards for the security of Star Fleet documents. As such, this office
establishes the classification levels of all Star Fleet documents and information and will
also establish the regulations and guidelines regarding the handling, storage, control and
dissemination of Star Fleet classified information. Contained within this office are the
various offices involved in the classification of Star Fleet documents, and presented in
Figure 1a82.17.
The function of the Star Fleet Information Security Standards Section is to establish
the classification levels of Star Fleet documents and information. This office defines the
various classification levels such as TOP SECRET, SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL and other
security levels that will be applied to documents. In addition to establishing the levels, this
office will also establish the declassification schedules, or when such documents can be
declassified, and the handling and dissemination requirements for classified documents.
The Security Standards section also has the responsibility of designing and establishing
the classification stamps, seals and other markings to be placed on documents indicating
their classification level, and to design and produce the signs and placards that indicate the
access level of secured areas as well. In addition, this section will establish the standards
regarding the typeset, size and location of classification markings on and within documents
and on markers, and will work with the Star Fleet Bureau of Standards regarding such
standards.
The Star Fleet Document Classification Section within INFOSEC performs the actual
evaluation and classification of Star Fleet documents. This office will review all classes of
documents in order to establish the classification level of each document. For example,
STARSHIPS manuals relating to Warp propulsion systems will generally be classified as
CONFIDENTIAL. As such, any such document relating to Warp propulsion systems will be
classified at the same level without necessarily examining each document individually.
However, this office will also examine individual documents to determine their classification
level as well. Primarily, this form of examination is usually performed on single-time effort
documents, reports and correspondences. In addition, this office will review all official
documents before they can be released, with the exception of personal communications.
The Star Fleet Classified Document Control Section of INFOSEC handles all
classified information for Star Fleet. This office sets the document control numbers of
classified documents and places the documents within the secure document database. This
office will work with Star Fleet Central Records regarding the storage and handling of
classified documents. Central Records contains a separate area specifically designed for
classified documents and as such, it will be the responsibility of the Star Fleet Classified
Document Control Section to manage this area. In addition, this section will perform
audits and inspections in connection with the handling of classified material by the various
commands and divisions, along with auditors from the Inspector General's office.
The Commander: Star Fleet Information Security (COMSECINF) is the senior officer
in command of the Star Fleet Office of Information Security (INFOSEC) and of all
activities regarding the classification, control and dissemination of classified information.
The COMSECINF will usually be an officer of the line with the rank of Captain.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF SECURITY FORCE TRAINING
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Security Force Training (SECTRAIN) is to
train security force personnel. As such, basic security training will be provided to all those
persons assigned to guard duties. This is training that goes beyond that provided during
recruit training and is given only to those that enter the Security Service. Most of this
training is military in nature, but will also include law enforcement training as well.
SECTRAIN also provides specialized training to those individuals that perform the special
security functions such as personal bodyguard, special investigation and undercover
operations. However, certain specialties within the Security Service will provide their
own special training for their particular unit. Some of the specialized training will be with
other Star Fleet organizations as well, for example, with Star Fleet Intelligence.
In general, SECTRAIN develops and maintains all the training programs relating to Star
Fleet's security function. Each specialty within the Security Service will have its own
specialized training program developed by that unit. However, it is the responsibility of
SECTRAIN to ensure training cohesion. As such, this office will review the specialized
training programs of each unit to ensure some form of consistency.
In addition to managing the training programs, this office also manages all the security
training facilities as well. Most of these facilities are dedicated to the specialized security
functions the division provides. These facilities, which do not come under the authority of
the Star Fleet Training Command, provide special training in the art of investigation,
undercover operations and personnel protection.
The Commander: Security Personnel Training (COMSECTRN) is the senior officer in

charge of all activities regarding the training of Star Fleet security personnel. The
COMSECTRN is an officer of the line, and will typically have a rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE
The Star Fleet Investigative Service (SFIS) was originally created to perform the
background security checks and to issue security clearances to persons entering the Star
Fleet Service. This office was later expanded to include investigations into possible or
actual criminal activity within the Department of the Star Fleet. As such, this office
essentially represents the internal security function for the Department of the Star
Fleet. The organizational structure for the Investigative Service can be seen in Figure
1a82.18.
Within SFIS, the Star Fleet Office of Internal Affairs is tasked with investigating
suspected or actual corruption or criminal activity within the Department, or when a
significant complaint has been lodged with the Star Fleet Ombudsman. It should be
noted that this office does not perform the same function as the Star Fleet Bureau of
Investigation (SFBI), which investigates crimes relating to violations of Federation law
in open space. The Office of Internal Affairs is only authorized to investigate criminal
activity within Star Fleet. However, this office will work with SFBI where and when
necessary.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Security Clearances is to issue (or rescind)
security clearances to individuals within the Department. This includes both Service and
civilian employees. This office maintains the database of Star Fleet personnel and their
clearance levels, and will work with the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel regarding the
security clearances of all personnel. This office may also upgrade or downgrade a person’s
security level depending on the circumstances, and will act on any request to add an
individual to a classification list or to change an individual’s security clearance level.
The Office of Star Fleet Investigators manages the pool of SFIS investigators. This
office will assign investigators to cases, or to augment another investigative team that is
outside this office. The primary function of this office is to perform background checks of
individuals. Investigators from this office will go out into the field to collect information
about an individual, either through interviews with people familiar with the individual, or by
examining records and documents concerning the individual, and upon completion of their
investigation, issue a report concerning the individual that was investigated.
Investigators from this office will also be involved in investigating breaches in security as
well. Breaches in security may mean physical entry into secured areas or the purposeful or
accidental divulgence of classified information to the public. Many investigators will operate
in and around areas where Star Fleet personnel may socialize. These investigators are
there generally to determine if personnel are divulging classified information. If so, the
investigator may take the individual into custody for further interrogation, and a report
sent to the individual’s superior on the nature of the security breach.
The Commander: Star Fleet Investigative Service (COMSECSIS) is the senior officer
in command of the Star Fleet Investigative Service. The COMSECSIS is an officer of
the line, and will typically have the rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET GROUND FORCES
The Operating Forces of Star Fleet also includes the Star Fleet Marine Corps, which
are the ground troops of Star Fleet. Where ground fighting is required, it will be the Star
Fleet Marine Corps that will do the job.
The Star Fleet Marine Corps is that branch of the Operating Forces which provides
power projection from space, utilizing the mobility of Star Ship Command to rapidly
deliver combined-arms task forces to galactic crises. The Marine Corps serves as the
primary landing force in readiness, and has three primary areas of responsibility:
1. The seizure or defense of advanced bases and other ground operations to support
Star Fleet campaigns,
2. The development of tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing forces, and
3. Such other duties as the Federation Council President or the Director: Star Fleet
Command may direct.
In command of all the ground forces within Star Fleet is the Commandant: Star Fleet
Marine Corps (CMMC) who is the highest-ranking officer of the corps with the rank of
Admiral and reports directly to the Director: Star Fleet Command. The CMMC is the
symbolic and functional head of the Corps and is responsible to man, train, and equip the
Fleet Marine Corps, but does not serve as a direct battlefield commander. The CMMC
co-equally shares command with the Chief of Star Fleet Operations (CSFO) within
Star Fleet Operations. In such action where ground forces will be required, the CMMC
and the CSFO will work together to plan the operation. Otherwise, each is completely in
command of their respective forces. A complete description of the Fleet Marine Corps,
as well as their command structure and operations, can be found in Volume XVII of the
SPECIAL FORCES
The Star Fleet Marine Corps also contains a special force created to perform clandestine
military operations, and who are trained to conduct missions of unconventional warfare
and reconnaissance. Special Forces are the elite ground forces highly trained in close-
quarter combat, insurgency and counter-insurgency, rescue and deep infiltration missions.
They are often deployed in small groups armed and supplied with specialized equipment,
and operate under the principles of self-sufficiency, stealth, speed and close teamwork.
Much of their work is TOP SECRET and therefore, will not be discussed here.
The selection process for a special operations force is typically extremely rigorous, with
training often exceeding two years. Certain missions may require additional training. As the
work of special operations forces is often carried out covertly and involves classified
information, candidates are put through extensive trials prior to acceptance, which have
extremely high attrition rates. Candidates must also have high security clearances, and
may work with Star Fleet Intelligence and other intelligence agencies on a regular
basis, facilitating rapid action in response to current intelligence.
Special Forces operators may also be used to train foreign local forces when military aid
is given to other planetary systems, so that much of their specialized training includes
language and cultural skills. Due to the secrecy surrounding much of their training and
work, special operations forces have a mystique and aura of mystery about them.

regarding the design, construction, and servicing of Star Fleet bases and stations from
the time that the ground has been broken until the base is no longer in use, or has been
turned-over to another agency. The organizational structure for this Systems Command is
As in STARSHIPS, the largest organization of STARBASES is the Star Fleet Office of

Base Systems Engineering, which is charged with designing the systems, machinery
and components required by all Star Fleet bases and stations. Primarily, this office will
design the components and systems for self-contained stations. The design and building of
self-contained stations is somewhat similar to building a ship. However, regarding ground
bases, this office will only design the systems and will merely select the components and
equipment that will be used by such bases. As part of this process, this office will develop
all the drawings and specifications required to fabricate station systems, their components
as well as for the complete space station. These drawings and specifications will be sent to
the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers or the Star Fleet Construction Command, which
will perform the actual construction.
Systems Engineering also develops the operating specifications and procedures for base
and station systems and components. This office will develop all the instructions and
procedures required to operate the systems and equipment on all Star Fleet bases and
stations. The specifications developed by this office will also be sent to the Star Fleet
Office of Base Maintenance and Construction to support them in developing the

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET SERVICE CRAFT SYSTEMS COMMAND
The Star Fleet Service Craft Systems Command (SHUTCOM) is separately organized
from the Star Ship Systems Command because of the number and variety of service
craft types. Service craft designs will vary significantly and in many cases, craft may be
custom-built for specific purposes, whereas there are only minor variations within Star
Fleet ship classes. In addition, the lead time for building service craft is much shorter than
for ships and therefore, it was decided that a separate organization was necessary in order
to accommodate the varieties in craft types. As such, this “Systems Command” will be
responsible for the design, development, construction, and testing of all Star Fleet service
craft and auxiliary units, including their systems and components, and will be in charge of
all aspects relating to the construction, commissioning and servicing of Star Fleet service
craft from conception to when the craft is taken out of service. The organizational
structure for this Systems Command is shown in Figure 1a83.9.
The Star Fleet Office of Craft Design Engineering is responsible for the design and
development of service craft types and classes based upon the requirements of the fleet,
and is responsible for updating the Star Fleet Service Craft Register with any new or
existing craft classes. Basically, the process begins when this office receives a request for a
new service craft type. This office will then design and develop a prototype of the new unit
based upon the desired requirements at their design center. The prototype of the new
class is then built by this office and tested in simulated service. Once prototype testing has
been completed, design specifications and plans will be drawn up for the construction of
the final design by the Star Fleet Office of Craft Maintenance and Construction.
The Star Fleet Office of Service Craft Systems is basically responsible for the design
of the internal systems of service craft, while the basic structural design of the hull will be
performed by the Star Fleet Office of Craft Design Engineering during the initial
prototyping phase. Therefore, the Craft Systems Office will only design the systems that
will go into the craft. In addition, this office is also responsible for designing, developing
and testing the propulsion systems that will be used by service craft. As such, this office
will direct the Service Craft Propulsion Laboratory to test the engines for load capacity
and other performance factors.
Craft Systems is also responsible for developing the operating specifications for service
craft and their systems. As such, this office will develop the manuals and procedures
required to operate and maintain the craft. In addition, specifications will also be sent to
the Star Fleet Office of Craft Testing and Acceptance so that they can develop the
test plans, test scenarios and acceptance criteria from these specifications.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Craft Maintenance and Construction is to
manage the construction of service craft. Service craft are generally built by specially
selected commercial manufacturers with construction facilities designed to fabricate only
service craft. Star Fleet does not construct its own service craft and as such, this office
merely oversees the construction of such craft at these commercial facilities. However,
although it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to build the craft in accordance with
specifications, it is the responsibility of this office to ensure that service craft are being
built according to specifications. Therefore, this office maintains a small team of design
engineers and inspectors at these fabrication facilities to oversee the work and to perform
quality inspections at each step of the assembly process; and to ensure that craft are
being built in a timely manner, based upon the construction plans developed by this office.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Maintenance and Construction office also manages the overhauls and refits of all
Star Fleet service craft. As such, this office maintains several facilities, typically located at
major Starbases, for the repair and upgrade of service craft, and will develop the plans
and schedules related to the refitting and upgrading of all craft currently in service. In
addition, this office will also be responsible for developing craft maintenance standards and
procedures, and will analyze all craft systems and components in order to establish the
schedules and procedures for periodic inspection and preventive maintenance.
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Craft Material and Procurement is to
oversee the allocation and control of the materials and equipment used in the construction
and assembly of Star Fleet service craft by the manufacturer. In addition, this office will
also be responsible for overseeing the quality and proper storage of the materials and
equipment used in the construction of service craft at the construction sites. As such, this
office will monitor the builder’s Quality Control program regarding material control.
The Star Fleet Office of Craft Testing and Acceptance performs all the testing of the
systems and equipment on board service craft, and will perform the acceptance trials to
ensure the craft’s space worthiness. Testing begins with the start-up of the craft’s systems.
Each system is tested independently to ensure complete functionality before the craft is
sent into space for final acceptance trials. Acceptance trials will not only include a test of
the craft’s functionality as a space vessel, but will also exercising the craft on the functions
that it was designed to perform. For example, some small work craft are used in the
construction of Star Fleet ships for the movement and installation of ship components.
Such craft will be tested to ensure that they can carry out their function. In summary, the
Craft Testing Office will perform all such tests on craft that were constructed. No craft
will leave the manufacturing facility without being fully tested and certified by this office.
Once testing has been completed and the craft is certified for use, SHUTCOM will make a
request to the Star Fleet Transportation Command for the shipment of the craft, or
crafts, to their final destination. Usually, the completed craft will be stored or parked at the
manufacturing facility prior to shipping. The Transportation Command will send a TR
class Shuttlecraft Transport vessel to pick up the craft. The craft are then flown up into
space and onto the transport vessel for storage. It must be noted that Star Fleet service
craft are not commissioned vessels and therefore, there is no commissioning ceremony or
change of command as with ships. Service craft are treated like any other piece of Star
Fleet equipment. The commissioning and placement of any pennant onto the craft will be
the responsibility of the command receiving the craft.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Craft Records is to maintain all shuttlecraft,
interceptor and auxiliary unit design, engineering, fabrication and assembly documents,
drawings, supply, and installation documents. These documents also include any notes,
calculations, inspection and testing records, and certification documents as well. This office
will work with Central Records regarding the management of all craft assembly and
service records. In addition, this office is also responsible for maintaining the Star Fleet
Service Craft Register.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Service Craft Systems Command (CCFTSYS) is the
senior officer in command of all technical and engineering activities regarding the design,
construction and maintenance of Star Fleet shuttlecraft, interceptors and other utility or
service craft. The CCFTSYS will be an officer of the Engineering Corps and will typically
have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMAND
The Star Fleet Research and Development Command (RAND) was created to carry
out all the technical research and development needed to keep the fleet updated with the
latest technology. Most of the work performed by this office is highly theoretical and highly
classified. As such, this office manages and maintains several TOP SECRET research labs
and facilities that are located throughout the Federation.
The first function of RAND is to analyze the technical needs and limitations of Star Fleet,
the purpose of which is to direct research efforts towards the proper areas relating to such
needs. As such, this office will perform research into new and existing technological and
scientific designs, innovations and ideas. In so doing, RAND will examine and evaluate all
registered inventions and patents to determine if any invention or concept can be of any
use to Star Fleet. Where a new idea or concept appears feasible, RAND will fund the
needed research to make such ideas and concepts a reality, or buy the invention or patent
for further development. In such cases, RAND will work with the Star Fleet Judge
Advocate General’s office in obtaining such property and to negotiate the cost of such
property or royalty payment.
Regarding any conceptual designs, RAND will either create for themselves or will have
prototypes made of the concepts under evaluation. Such prototypes or models will be
created at one of their development facilities, which contain extensive research and testing
laboratories that employ many Star Fleet and civilian scientists and engineers.
The second function of RAND is to analyze and develop the current technology, systems
and equipment employed by Star Fleet in order to enhance their performance or make
improvements in their efficiency, use or cost. Typically, RAND will work with the group
responsible for the technology in obtaining analysis data on their respective systems or
components. The data is then used to create computer models in order to evaluate the
component or system. The information obtained from these evaluations will aid the RAND
engineers in pin-pointing any weakness in the design or functionality. Such analyses will
generally result in the modification of the component or system, but may also result in the
complete redesign of the component or system, which may be incorporated into the future
designs of systems.
The third function of RAND is to plan and coordinate other Star Fleet research efforts.
This is done in order to prevent duplication of research efforts and costs. As such, all the
Systems Commands within the Engineering Division must submit their research plans
to RAND in order to determine if such research is already ongoing.
As previously stated, RAND performs TOP SECRET research and manages TOP SECRET
research facilities. Some of these facilities are dedicated to specifically performing research
on equipment obtained by Star Fleet Intelligence. Whenever Star Fleet Intelligence
has absconded with equipment or devices during their clandestine operations, they will
submit such equipment to RAND for analysis. Such efforts are highly classified and will not
be gone into detail.
The Commander: Star Fleet Research and Development (COMRAND) is the senior
officer in command of all activities regarding the research and development of new system
technologies for use by Star Fleet. The COMRAND will be an officer of the Engineering
Corps, and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET BUREAU OF NURSES
The primary function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Nurses (BUNURS) is to manage all
Star Fleet nurses and nurses’ aides within the Department of the Star Fleet. As such,
this bureau sets the standards for nurse professionalism as well as the standards and
procedures used by nursing personnel for the care of patients. Figure 1a84.4 shows the
topmost organizational chart for the Bureau of Nurses.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Nurses is to manage all nurses and nurses’
aides within Star Fleet. This includes recruiting nursing personnel into the Service, hiring
civilian nurses to Star Fleet hospitals and assigning Service nurses to the fleet. However,
Star Fleet does not recruit or hire personnel to become nurses that do not already have a
nursing degree or that are not certified by an authorized Federation agency. All persons
that wish to enter the Nurse Corps or wish to be hired as nurses must have already been
certified and working in the field. Persons entering as Nurses’ Aides are not required to
be certified and cannot enter the Nurse Corps since they are, in most cases, enlisted
personnel.
The Star Fleet Office of Nurses also analyzes the nursing needs of the fleet and will
determine the numbers and types of qualified nurses and nursing professionals needed to
meet fleet requirements. As such, this office works with the Star Fleet Office of Force
Planning in establishing the nursing force requirements.
The Star Fleet Office of Nursing Standards is primarily responsible for establishing
and maintaining the standards of nursing that will be used throughout the Department.
These standards are generally the same as those established throughout the Federation,
but with additional requirements regarding the treatment and care of personnel onboard
ships and on stations. In addition, this office will create specialized standards relating to
the care of unknown or alien patients.
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Nurse Training is to educate qualified
nursing personnel on the specialized techniques used onboard Star Fleet stations and
ships, which will include specialized training in the treatment of alien entities, and on the
processes and procedures established to care for unknown life-forms. Nurses entering this
program must already have been certified. This office will also develop specialized training
programs geared towards the duties of enlisted Nurses’ Aides as well.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Nurse Certification is to test and certify Star
Fleet nursing personnel on the specialized nursing functions performed by Fleet Nurses.
Fleet Nurses are those trained and certified for Star Fleet ship or station duty and are
specially trained in dealing with alien and unknown life-forms. Nurses’ Aides, on the
other hand, do not require certification, but will receive a certificate of completion of any
program or class they have attended. Such certificates are useful when the individual is up
for promotion.
The Deputy Chief: Bureau of Nurses (CNURSE) is the senior officer in command of
the Star Fleet Bureau of Nurses (BUNURS) and of all nurses and nurses’ aides within
the Department of the Star Fleet, and as such, is the senior officer of the Star Fleet
Nurse Corps. The CNURSE is typically an officer of the Nurse Corps, but may also be
any senior officer from the Medical Corps as well, and will typically have a rank of Rear
Admiral.

technologies to determine their application to Star Fleet. The Pure Science Section is
chiefly interested in research pertaining to the pure or theoretical physical sciences.
This office will also fund private, commercial and academic research efforts as well.
Funding for such research is obtained in several ways: a) from a request by a research
facility; b) from a special request by the Federation Council; or c) from suggestions
made by Star Fleet personnel assigned to research facilities. Under such conditions, Star
Fleet will manage the project and oversee the use of the funds given to the facility for
such research.
As the diagram in Figure 1a85.3 suggests, this office interacts with all of the research-
oriented divisions of the Department of the Star Fleet. This section also has offices at
all the major Federation research facilities and academic institutions. The Star Fleet
scientists and technicians assigned to these offices will oversee the research that goes on
at these locations, and may provide assistance to them if necessary. These local offices will
periodically submit reports to the Star Fleet Office of Science and Technology on the
progress and results of their research.
The Office of Science and Technology is staffed entirely by senior level scientists and
engineers who have a proven track record of innovation, design skills or have submitted
valuable scientific research in their field of expertise. Most of the individuals within this
office will have doctorate degrees or higher and have been hand-selected by the Deputy
Chief: Star Fleet Science and Technology from the pool of scientists and engineers
within the Department and from outside the Star Fleet. The individuals that work in this
office do so at the invitation of Star Fleet.

unknown life forms, their physiology as well as their genetic structure. As such, this office
is responsible for developing and establishing the methods and procedures essential in the
study of life forms, and will collaborate with the Star Fleet Office of Forensic Science
regarding the analysis of genetic or biological data obtained at crime scenes. This office is
divided into six sections (Figure 1a85.5) that perform the basic functions of this office.
The function of the Zoology Section is to study and classify animal life inside and outside
the Federation. This section will assign zoologists to survey missions on newly discovered
planets to observe, classify and collect animal life. The data collected on such missions will
be entered into the central scientific database at Central Records. The data will also be
packaged in order to update the Library-Computers of all of the Operating Forces and
Shore Establishments. This section also works with the Animal Husbandry Section
regarding the adaptation of farm animals to alien worlds.
The function of the Botany Section is to study and classify plant life inside and outside
the Federation, and to manage all of Star Fleet's botanical laboratories, gardens and
facilities. This section will assign botanists to survey missions on newly discovered planets
to observe, classify and collect plant life. As with the Zoology Section, the data collected
will also be sent to Central Records. This section will also work with the Plant Studies
Section regarding the development and genetic manipulation of non-indigenous plants to
varying planetary conditions.
The function of the Genetics Section is to perform genetic analyses and to classify the
various genetic types found throughout the galaxy. As such, this section is responsible for
managing all of Star Fleet's genetics laboratories and facilities scattered throughout the
Federation. In addition, this section is also authorized to fund genetic experiments and
studies that may be performed by outside vendors, laboratories and academic institutions,
and will work with the Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation and other Federation police
agencies involved in the identification of genetic material found at crime scenes.
The function of the Alien Studies Section is to study and analyze completely alien or
unusual life-forms, and in so doing, classify new species or life-form types. Most of the
work is highly classified and will not be discussed in this document.
The Microbiology Section is primarily concerned with the analysis and study of bacteria
and other microscopic organisms, and is responsible for managing the various Star Fleet
bacteriological laboratories. These laboratories perform analyses on micro-organisms to
determine how they function and to develop means of combating their virulence in the
elimination of disease or from biological weapons. In addition, this section will work with
the Star Fleet Division of Medicine in analyzing and discovering the means to combat
or resist disease by studying such organisms.
The primary function of the Biochemistry Section is to manage Star Fleet's various
biochemical laboratories and to perform biochemical analyses as needed. In addition, this
section also will train biochemists and biochemical technicians for fleet service.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
The fundamental mission of the Star Fleet Office of Social Science is the study of the
civilizations and societies encountered. As such, this office is responsible for developing
and establishing the methods and procedures required to study existing societies and to
develop first contact procedures employed when encountering new societies. This office is
divided into six sections, as shown in Figure 1a85.6, and discussed below.
The primary function of the Anthropology Section is to perform anthropological studies

on living and extinct cultures and civilizations throughout the Federation. As such, this
section manages the teams of Star Fleet anthropologists that are sent on societal survey
expeditions during exploration. In addition, this section is also responsible for training fleet
Archeology and Anthropology (A&A) officers, and to assign such officers to the fleet.
The Archeology Section performs a similar function as the Anthropology Section in
that it is responsible for performing archeological studies on living and extinct cultures and
civilizations spread throughout the Federation, and will manage the teams of Star Fleet
archeologists that are sent on survey expeditions. And like the Anthropology Section,
will also be responsible for training fleet Archeology and Anthropology (A&A) officers
in archeological procedures.
The chief function of the Sociology Section is to manage Star Fleet sociologists and
sociological expeditions, and to develop the methods and procedures used when dealing
with developed and developing cultures such that General Order 1 will not be violated.
This is accomplished through scientific research into such cultures, whether overt or covert
and in accordance with the principles outlined in the Articles of Federation. Star Fleet
sociologists will be assigned to any mission where first contact may occur.
The function of the Political Science Section is to study and analyze the governments,
organizations, groups and political institutions of known and new worlds within or outside
the Federation, the purpose of which is to develop political theories and to classify socio-
political philosophies that may be used by Star Fleet strategists and long-range planners.
This section will also work with Star Fleet Intelligence and other operational divisions in
order to aid in understanding galactic and interplanetary political situations.
The primary function of the History Section is to collect historical information on the
various known civilizations within and outside the Federation, and to manage the Star
Fleet historians assigned to collect such information. The basic purpose of collecting and
studying the histories of civilizations is to understand the nature of such societies and to
develop generalized theories and procedures that may be useful to other agencies when
dealing with foreign and domestic societies.
The Social Sciences Library is a database within Central Records containing essential
information on known societies and civilizations that can be used by any functional unit. It
essentially is a compilation of data from many different areas pertaining to a society, along
with recommendations regarding how to deal with such societies. In addition, this office
will periodically update the information contained within this database and will transmit the
updated information to the Library-Computers of the Operating Forces.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Social Sciences (CSOC) is the senior officer in command
of all activities and facilities concerning the social sciences within the Department of the
Star Fleet. The CSOC is an officer of the Science Corps and will typically have the rank
of Rear Admiral.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF SPACE RESEARCH
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Space Research is to study specific
cosmological phenomenon such as wormholes, gravitational fields and gravimetric effects,
warp fields, space gas density and other such studies related to or in connection with the
structure of space-time. The fundamental aim of such research is a better understanding
of space-time and the potential for developing advanced field-dependent propulsion and
navigational systems. The organizational chart for the Office of Space Research is
Much of the work performed by this office is highly technical and theoretical and as such,
this office will sometimes recruit the support of physicists from the Physics Section and
external physicists regarding the analyses of space-time affects. As such, the majority of
the personnel working within this office are civilian scientists, either full-time, on loan or on
contract to the Department. The only military personnel are those that oversee the office
and the various projects the office may be performing.
The Commander: Star Fleet Space Research (COMSPACE) is the senior officer in
command of the Star Fleet Office of Space Research (SPACE) and of all activities and
facilities concerning the study of space phenomenon for the Department of the Star

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Agricultural Research is the research
and study in the adaptability of plants and animals under various planetary environments
in order to ensure success of Federation colonies and settlements. Most of this research
will be undertaken at special Star Fleet Agricultural Research laboratories scattered
throughout the Federation. As such, this office administers, maintains and oversees all
such facilities, and is responsible for providing these facilities with the tools and supplies
required to perform this research. The organizational chart for the Office of Agricultural
Research is shown in Figure 1a85.8.
The Animal Husbandry Section was originally established to study colony animals for
adaptability to various planetary conditions. As such, this section performs studies relating
to the adaptability of domesticated animals to various climactic and planetary conditions
such as atmospheric composition and pressures, temperatures, etc. Under such studies
measurements of animal growth rates, animal weight, breeding rate, productivity and the
type of feed required will be gathered and studied to determine the adaptability of animals
to specific planetary conditions and colonies. However, the research scope of this section
was subsequently expanded to include the development of hybrid animals as well. Animals
specifically bred to flourish within special planetary conditions, and which were genetically
engineered to thrive within the specific planetary conditions of atmospheric composition,
light, heat, gravity, and the ability to ingest indigenous vegetation.
As with the Animal Husbandry Section, the Plant Studies Section was established to
perform similar studies relating to the adaptability of plant life to a wide variety of climactic
and planetary conditions. As such, this section studies and develops plant hybrids that can
adapt to the planetary conditions of the various Star Fleet and Federation colonies. This
is especially true for food plants and as such, this section will research and develop food
plant hybrids designed for maximum yield and nutritional value for various and specific
planetary conditions.
The function of the Farming Section is to develop and evaluate current and proposed
technologies and techniques in farming various planetary conditions. In so doing, this
section will develop specific farming techniques and procedures, and possibly equipment,
tailored to specific planetary conditions, which may be used by the various Star Fleet and
civilian colonies and expeditions. As part of this function, the Farming Section will train
colony farmers in the techniques, equipment and procedures developed by this section. In
addition, this section will also process requests from colonies and expeditions regarding
their specific planetary needs, and will make recommendations on the techniques that may
be applicable to specific planetary conditions and as part of this service, send technicians
and scientists to such colonies for advice and consultation.
The Commander: Star Fleet Agricultural Research (COMAGRO) is the senior officer
in charge of all activities and facilities related to the study and development of agriculture
and agricultural methods for use on newly discovered planets for the Department of the
Star Fleet. The COMAGRO is an officer of the Science Corps and will typically have a
rank of Commodore.

STAR FLEET SCIENCE BOARDS
The Star Fleet Division of Science has two boards used to oversee the quality of
scientific research and study within the Department of the Star Fleet: the Star Fleet
Board of Scientific Ethics and the Star Fleet Board of Science Project Selection.
Both of these boards are not permanent offices, but are part-time assemblages comprised
of senior officers of the Science Corps with the rank of Captain or higher as specified in
Star Fleet Regulation 5860. The number and composition of the members of these
boards will be determined by the Chief of Star Fleet Science, who will also select the
officers that will serve on these boards for a term no less than one-year or until removed
by the Chief of Star Fleet Science for any reason.
The function of the Star Fleet Board of Scientific Ethics is to review any complaints of
misconduct or malfeasance by scientific personnel within the Department, such as
plagiarism, or to assess the performance of any officer within the Science Corps.
However, this board does not convene on a regular basis, but only when the need arises
such as when an ethics complaint has been lodged against a Star Fleet science
professional, or when a change in the standards of scientific ethics has occurred.
The Star Fleet Board of Science Project Selection was setup to examine each and
every prospective scientific endeavor that is submitted. The reason is that the Division of
Science has limited financial and physical resources to engage in every scientific endeavor
that is requested. Therefore, only the most beneficial projects will be selected which can
be performed within the constraints of budget and materiel.

8.6 JUDICIAL DIVISIONS

As stated in Section 8.0, judicial divisions are those relating to and concerned with the
execution of military justice, the adjudication of Federation justice in deep space, and the
investigation of crimes within the Federation territories. However, the only division that
will be covered under this section will be the Star Fleet Division of Justice. This division
was created under ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter and is comprised up of three
bureaus which separate the responsibilities of the division. These three bureaus represent
the primary functions of Star Fleet law enforcement: investigation, prosecution and the
tribunal as illustrated in Figure 1a86.1.
STAR FLEET DIVISION OF JUSTICE
The Star Fleet Division of Justice is responsible for all the legal and judicial activities
for the Department of the Star Fleet in accordance with ARTICLES 2, 27 and 28 of the
Star Fleet Charter and comprises the entire Star Fleet Judicial Corps. The
organizational structure for the Division of Justice is illustrated in Figure 1a86.1.
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF THE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL
The Office of the Judge Advocate General contains the Star Fleet Judge Advocate
General (CJUD or SFJAG) who is the senior officer in command of the Star Fleet
Division of Justice and of all activities concerning the application of Star Fleet justice.
The SFJAG is the senior officer of the Judicial Corps and will typically have the rank of
Vice Admiral. The Judge Advocate General is responsible to the Director: Star Fleet
Command for:
1. The enforcement of Star Fleet Regulations,

2. The conduct of military courts-martial,
3. The standards and conduct of district and regional courts,
4. The management of regional judges and magistrates,
5. The establishment of Courts of Inquiry, and
6. To act as general counsel to the Director and the Department of the Star Fleet.
Within the Office of the Judge Advocate General are the Judge Advocate Chief of
Staff, the President: Board of Magistrate Selection, Chairman: Board of Judicial
Ethics, President: Board of Judicial Examination and the Solicitor General. The
function of the Judge Advocate Chief of Staff is to coordinate the work assigned to the
various bureau chiefs by the SFJAG. The function of the Solicitor General (SFCLG) is to
advise the Judge Advocate General on matters pertaining to Federation law and
procedure. The SFCLG will also advise and update the SFJAG regarding any new laws or
policies, and will keep the Judge Advocate General up to date on the latest legal
precedence. The persons that come under direct authority of the SFJAG are the various
division deputy chiefs. These are:
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Justice

Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation
Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Courts

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF JUSTICE
The Star Fleet Bureau of Justice (JUSTICE) primarily supervises the prosecution and
defense of Star Fleet personnel in military courts-martial, and to provide private legal
assistance to personnel within the Service. The organizational chart for this bureau can be
seen in Figure 1a86.2.
The Star Fleet Office of Judge Advocates primarily contains Star Fleet lawyers that
perform general legal services for the Department and its personnel, as well as providing
Judge Advocates and lawyers to prosecute and defend Star Fleet Service personnel.
The primary duty of this office is to provide lawyers for cases involving Star Fleet. As
such, these lawyers will defend the Department in all matters within Federation and
foreign courts, and to defend the Department in matters regarding a constitutional
question before the Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice. In such cases the Star
Fleet Solicitor General will usually represent Star Fleet in actions against the Service
within this court.
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Trials and Courts-Martial is to
manage the Star Fleet trial and courts-martial system. This office schedules when and
where court-martials and civilian trials will occur as well as to assign military judges to
such trials. In addition, this is the office where Star Fleet prosecutors and defense
attorneys originate. Cases on the docket are assigned prosecutors, military judges and
courts-martial board members from this office. Investigations and research for the cases
on the docket are also performed within this office. The information obtained from these
investigations will be turned-over to both the prosecuting and defense attorneys. As such,
this office will work closely with the various investigatory agencies within Star Fleet and
the Federation government.
The primary function of the Star Fleet Office of Legal and Judicial Facilities is to
provide such legal and judicial offices, libraries and other similar facilities for use by Star
Fleet Judge Advocates, civilian lawyers and Service personnel in need of legal aid. This
office will determine the legal and judicial needs throughout the Federation and will
determine the location of legal facilities for Star Fleet bases and stations. This office will
principally work with the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers in the design of the structures
and buildings that will be built at base sites.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Judicial Processes is to develop and maintain
the processes and procedures that are used in all Star Fleet legal and judicial activities. In
addition, this office will also establish and maintain the standards of judicial practice and
professionalism throughout the Department, as well as the military law that must be
followed by all personnel within the Department of the Star Fleet.
The Star Fleet Office of Judicial Records is primarily responsible for maintaining and
storing all the legal and judicial records and documents produced by the Justice Division,
except those pertaining to court proceedings. As such, this office will coordinate with Star
Fleet Central Records for the storage and maintenance of all judicial documents and
records.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Justice (CJAD) is the senior officer in charge
of the Star Fleet Bureau of Justice and of all Star Fleet lawyers. The CJAD will be an
officer of the Judicial Corps and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
The Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation (SFBI) is the criminal investigative arm of the
Department of the Star Fleet. It is responsible for the enforcement of Federation laws
in open space, and for the investigation and prevention of crimes within Federation space
in accordance with ARTICLES 2 and 27 of the Star Fleet Charter. The scope of criminal
jurisdiction by Star Fleet in open space includes kidnapping, forgery, theft, counterfeiting,
narcotics trafficking and fraud. In addition, SFBI will also collect intelligence, investigate
espionage activities, and will work with Star Fleet Intelligence on counter-terrorism and
counter-espionage activities. The organizational chart for the Bureau of Investigation
can be seen in Figure 1a86.3.
The Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation will also work with the police and constabulary
of local member governments in the investigation and prevention of criminal activity, and
in the apprehension of criminals that violate Federation law in open space. However, the
SFBI has no authority to apprehend criminals or investigate crimes within member solar
systems, and must rely on the aid of the local constabulary in the investigation of crimes
and the apprehension of criminals within such systems.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Criminal Investigation is to investigate the
crimes and crime scenes within their jurisdiction. This office will maintain a consortium of
investigators specifically trained and qualified in criminal investigation. As such, this office
will assign investigators to crime scenes to gather information and evidence concerning
crimes that have been committed either by Star Fleet Service personnel or civilians out
in deep space.
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Federation Security is to protect the United
Federation of Planets government and people from threats against its security. Threats
such as insurrection, terrorism, espionage, overthrowing the government and other threats
to the peace and security of the Federation will be handled by this office. To suppress or
put down such threats this office will execute certain clandestine operations using
intelligence gathered by this office and from Star Fleet Intelligence. Such clandestine
operations include infiltration into terrorist, radical, activist and foreign groups in order to
learn of plans and operations. This office differs from Star Fleet Intelligence as the later
is involved more with external threats than with internal threats as this office is responsible
for. However, both organizations will work together and share their intelligence data.
The Star Fleet Drug Enforcement Agency (SFDEA) of SFBI is the organization tasked
with investigating and seizing illegal and controlled substances inside Federation space.
To do this, SFDEA will perform undercover and sting operations and will customarily work
independently of the Operating Forces in this regard.
The Star Fleet Office of Criminal Records basically maintains the databases of crimes
and criminals. This office will coordinate with Central Records regarding the storage and
maintenance of the criminal database system, and will package the information that will be
distributed to the fleet such as criminal records and cases. Such information is ordinarily
contained within the Library-Computers of most commands.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation (CFBI) is the senior officer in
command of the Star Fleet Bureau of Investigation (SFBI). The CFBI is usually an
officer of the Judicial Corps, but may also be a line officer from the Security Division.
In either case, the CFBI will have the rank of Rear Admiral.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF COURTS
The chief function of the Star Fleet Bureau of Courts (BUCOURTS) is to manage the
regional and district courts established by Star Fleet in accordance with ARTICLE 28 of
the Star Fleet Charter. The function of these courts is to adjudicate cases involving
violations of Federation law in open space, and since Star Fleet is the primary law-
enforcement agency for the Federation, as specified in ARTICLE 2 of the Star Fleet
Charter, it is natural that it prosecutes the cases at the outer rim of Federation space.
The organizational chart for the Bureau of Courts can be seen in Figure 1a86.4.
In general, Star Fleet ships, operating at the fringes of Federation space, do not always
have the time to incarcerate and transport prisoners to Star Fleet or Federation facilities
that are located within the Treaty Zone. As such, Star Fleet was given the authority to
establish regional and district courts outside the Treaty Zone, but within the Exploration
Zone. Crimes that occur at the outer rim would be handled by these Star Fleet courts. In
addition, for minor offenses committed in the outlying regions of Federation space,
Starship Commanding Officers were also given the authority to investigate and pass
judgment on such minor cases.
The establishment of the aforementioned Star Fleet courts is the responsibility of the
Office of Star Fleet Courts. This office manages all the regional and district courts
established by Star Fleet, and ensures that these courts are built and fully equipped for
the task. This office also has the authority to select the location of such courts, with the
approval of the Judge Advocate General and the Federation Council.
In order to fill these regional courts, the Office of Star Fleet Magistrates will recruit
and train judges and magistrates from within the Star Fleet Judicial Corps and from the
civilian bar, and will assign selected judges and magistrates to Star Fleet courts. Besides
the management of judges, this office will also maintain a small pool of judges for such
tasks as Special Masters and other judiciary functions. These persons will often be judges
temporarily assigned by the Judge Advocate General to perform such duty.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Court Personnel is to staff the regional courts
with support personnel, such as court recorders, court clerks, judicial assistants and other
administrative personnel. In addition, this office will determine the security needs of the
regional courts and will work with the Star Fleet Division of Security in allocating the
necessary security personnel to become guards and bailiffs.
All records produced by Star Fleet courts will be managed by the Office of Star Fleet
Court Records. This office will coordinate with Central Records regarding the storage
and maintenance of the judicial database, and will package criminal case records for
distribution to the fleet.
In command of the Star Fleet Bureau of Courts is the Deputy Chief: Star Fleet
Bureau of Courts (CMAG). The CMAG is an officer of the Judicial Corps and will

STAR FLEET JUDICIAL BOARDS
The Star Fleet Division of Justice has three boards used to oversee the quality of the
judicial process within the Department: the Star Fleet Board of Magistrate Selection,
the Star Fleet Board of Judicial Examination and the Star Fleet Board of Judicial
Ethics. All three of these boards are temporary. That is, these boards are composed of
senior officers of the Judicial Corps with the rank of Captain and above, that were
selected by the Judge Advocate General to serve a one-year term.
The chief function of the Star Fleet Board of Magistrate Selection is to select qualified
judges and magistrates to serve on the benches of Star Fleet courts, and is exclusively
made up of senior judges from the Office of Star Fleet Magistrates who will review the
records of selected judges and who will determine their qualification for duty as a Star
Fleet judge. This is not a permanent board and as such, will only meet when a new or
replacement judge is needed. However, the Judge Advocate General will assign a Star
Fleet judge to hold the position of President: Board of Magistrate Selection for a
period of one year.
The Star Fleet Board of Judicial Examination thoroughly reviews all cases to ensure
that they were prosecuted correctly, that the individual’s rights were not violated and that
the individual prosecuted received a fair and proper trial. The board is principally a three-
member panel composed of senior lawyers from the Star Fleet Bureau of Justice. This
board will usually convene monthly to review the cases adjudicated during the past month.
The Star Fleet lawyers that serve on this panel are typically assigned to it for a duration
of one-year. At the head of this panel is the President: Board of Judicial Examination,
who is a senior lawyer from the Star Fleet Bureau of Justice and will serve as such for
a period of one year.
The function of the Star Fleet Board of Judicial Ethics is to review and investigate any
charge of judicial misconduct by any person within the division, and to review and assess
the performance of any officer within the Judicial Corps. This board does not convene on
a regular basis, but only when the need arises, such as when an ethics complaint has been
submitted or when judicial misconduct has been observed or when there is a change in the
standards of judicial ethics. At the head of this board is the Chairman: Board of Judicial
Ethics. The Chairman will be a senior officer from the Judicial Corps, selected by the
Judge Advocate General to serve a term of two years, and will generally have the rank
of Commodore.

THE STAR FLEET ACADEMY
The Star Fleet Academy (ACADEMY) is a military institution for the undergraduate and
graduate education of officers for Star Fleet service. The chief mission of the Star Fleet
Academy is to develop Midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically. In addition to its
technical education, the Academy will also imbue in Midshipmen the highest ideals of
duty, honor, and loyalty in order that it may provide Star Fleet with graduates who are
dedicated to a career within the Star Fleet Service, and that have the potential for future
development in mind and that have the character to assume the highest responsibilities of
command. The basic high-level organizational structure for the Star Fleet Academy is
The main facility of the Star Fleet Academy is located on the planet Earth in the city of
San Francisco, but will also have several annexes located throughout the Federation and
on the home worlds of the original five signatories to the Articles of Federation. The
function of these annexes is to provide Star Fleet with a large collection of well-educated
officers from many backgrounds, and to avoid the overloading of students at the central
facility. These annexes are managed by the Star Fleet Academy Annex Command,
which coordinates and standardizes the degree and educational programs at each of the
annexes.
The primary office tasked with the management of the Star Fleet Academy is the Office
of Administration. This office is responsible for the Academy budget, supplies, housing,
the management of instructors, cadets, scholastic programs, and the general management
of the facility. The Office of Administration basically performs all the administrative and
management duties for the Academy. In addition, this office also sets the standards for
entry into the Academy as well as determining the class size or the number of students in
the graduating class. Consequently, this office will create the examinations for entry and is
responsible for administering these tests in a fair and equitable fashion.
The Undergraduate School is that division of the Academy that manages the various
undergraduate schools and programs. As such, the Undergraduate School establishes
the criteria for promotion and graduation, as well as the basic curriculum for the various
programs offered by the school. The Undergraduate School also works with the various
academic departments in establishing the courses required to meet the undergraduate
requirements and will standardize the curriculum across all the annexes.
The undergraduate program is a five-year curriculum of intense study in basic engineering,

science and the military arts. The first three semesters of the undergraduate program
constitutes the basic curriculum. A more detailed description of the basic undergraduate
curriculum that all students must complete will be presented in Chapter 6 of Volume XIV of
the Star Fleet Command Manual. Starting with the fourth semester students will begin
to choose their field of specialization. These fields are:
 Basic Engineering, ship operations and command

 A specific field of engineering or science
 Pre-law
 Pre-medicine
 Law Enforcement

STAR FLEET COMMAND
The Graduate School is the branch of the Academy that manages the various graduate
schools and programs for those who wish to further their education or to enter a specific
field of endeavor within Star Fleet. Most of the students that enter the graduate school
will typically enter a particular Staff Corps. The Graduate School establishes the criteria
for advanced degrees, as well as the curriculum for the various programs offered by the
school. The school will work with the various academic departments in establishing the
courses required to meet the graduate requirements.
The Academy offers both Masters and Doctorate degrees in the fields of:
• Engineering
• Pure and Applied Science
• Social Science
• Political Science
• Medicine
• Law
In addition to advanced degrees, the Graduate School also conducts research for the
Department of the Star Fleet in areas such as engineering, the sciences, medicine and
the military arts. For example, the School of Military Arts and Science is basically a
research school established to study military programs, their effectiveness as well as
strategies and tactics to be employed by Star Fleet.
The Commandant: Star Fleet Academy (COMCAD) is the senior officer in command of
all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Academy (ACADEMY), and is responsible
to the Chief of Star Fleet Education for:
1. The management and administration of the Star Fleet Academy and all of its
annexes,
2. The management of all instructors and administration personnel at the Academy,
3. The development, management and discipline of all students at the Academy,
4. The development, maintenance and execution of the educational programs provided
by the Academy.
The COMCAD is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CEDU, and will typically have a
rank of Commodore. Under the COMCAD are the various heads of the academic
departments and administrative offices needed to carry out the mission of the Star Fleet
Academy. In addition, all the Commandants, usually with the rank of Captain, of the
various Star Fleet Academy annexes will also report directly to the COMCAD.

STAR FLEET TRAINING COMMAND
The Star Fleet Training Command (TRAINCOM) is the central authority in charge of
all Star Fleet Training Centers and Fleet Schools, as well as the programs taught at
these facilities. A Star Fleet Training Center is a large base facility containing several
types of schools designed to provide elementary and advanced training in many fields of
specialization. Star Fleet Training Centers are primarily designed for enlisted personnel
in pursuit of their specialty. Fleet Schools, on the other hand, are smaller facilities with
limited areas of specialization. These facilities are generally located within smaller Star
Fleet bases and stations. They are primarily designed for more highly specialized training
within a field, or as schools to update, or enhance an individual’s knowledge within their
area of specialization, or for training on a specific system or piece of equipment. The chart
showing the organizational structure of this command is shown in Figure 1a87.2.
The primary function of the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers is to manage all the
Star Fleet Training Centers and Fleet Schools. This office has the authority to decide
where such facilities are to be located and built. As such, this office works with the Star
Fleet Corps of Engineers in the configuration and construction of Star Fleet Training
Centers and with Base Commanders in the location of Fleet Schools. In addition, this
office will also manage all the instructors assigned to the training centers.
The function of the Office of Star Fleet Training Simulators is to operate and manage
all Star Fleet training simulators, their facilities and staff. In general, simulators are used
to provide hands-on experience in the operation of Star Fleet ships and craft without
having to use actual equipment. In addition, this office will also develop the many training
scenarios that will be run by these simulators.
The Office of Star Fleet Training Programs develops and manages all the programs
and curricula for TRAINCOM. This office will analyze and determine the training needs of
the fleet and will create, or modify, any training program to suit the needs of the fleet. The
programs developed by this office will be submitted to the Office of Star Fleet Training
Centers for implementation at their sites.
The main function of the Office of Star Fleet Training Materials is to allocate, create
or provide all the training materials and supplies to all the Star Fleet Training Centers,
which include books, hand-outs, training aids, components and other special equipment.
The function of the Star Fleet Commanding Officer School is to train future Star
Fleet Commanding Officers in the general management of commands. The school is a
twelve week program focused on command management, decision-making, the regulations
specific to Commanding Officers and interplanetary law. All Star Fleet officers that
currently hold the position of Executive Officer will attend this school at some point in
their career. It is a Star Fleet requirement that all officers eligible for command must
attend this school before they can assume the duty as Commanding Officer. In addition,
officers currently holding the position of Commanding Officer may also attend refresher
and other courses provided by the school. Such refresher courses usually have durations of
one week.
The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Training Command (CTRN) is the senior officer in
command of all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Training Command
(TRAINCOM). The CTRN is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CEDU, and will

STAR FLEET COMMAND
OFFICE OF STAR FLEET INSTRUCTORS
The Office of Star Fleet Instructors manages the pool of instructors for the Training
Command, but does not manage the instructors employed at the Star Fleet Academy.
That function is handled exclusively by the Academy. This office specifically concentrates
on the practical training of Star Fleet personnel and of the training of its instructors. The
organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure 1a87.4.
This office primarily has the responsibility of training and certifying Star Fleet instructors
for the various fleet schools before being assigned to training duty. The curriculum at
these fleet schools will depend upon the need for training in a particular specialty. As such,
instructors will be recruited from the fleet and selected for their knowledge in a particular
field, and trained in the curriculum related to their area of specialty. The training course
they attend will typically be only a week long and will concentrate on the subtleties of the
component or material the instructor is to teach, in addition to basic teaching methods.
Instructor certification is performed by testing the instructor on the material he or she is to

teach. The certification test will measure the technical knowledge of the instructor as well
as the administrative aspects of the training program. This is the written portion of the
certification process. The prospective instructor must also teach the course to a group of
instructors who will evaluate his or her performance as an instructor. The successful
completion of the written and oral portions of the examination completes the certification
process. Once certified, instructors will be assigned to fleet schools or training centers. It is
this office that selects and assigns instructors to training facilities, but must submit the
assignment to the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel, which will issue the actual orders.
Instructors that have become certified may also be assigned to train other instructors as
well. The normal duty cycle for training instructors is three years and after that period a
replacement will be necessary. Therefore, it is the responsibility of this office to select a
replacement instructor, which may be a new graduate or one selected from another fleet
school.
Most instructors are full-time and are permanently assigned to the Education Division as
instructors. However, there are temporary instructors as well. These are individuals that
have been selected from the fleet to act as instructors for the more specialized fields. This
will be a special assignment – one that will usually not last for more than two years. After
the temporary instructor has completed this tour of duty, the individual may be sent back
to the fleet or to another duty assignment.
Most importantly, this office is responsible for maintaining the quality of its instructors as
well. As such, this office will continually review the performance of instructors, which will
usually be evaluated by the students upon completion of the course. The ratings are then
collected by this office and analyzed. In addition, courses are periodically audited by senior
instructors. These instructors will sit in a particular course to evaluate the instructor on his
knowledge of the material, how much of the material is covered and the responses of
students in the class. As a secondary function, this office will also review training programs
for their effectiveness in providing the knowledge.
The Commander: Star Fleet Instructors (COMEDUPER) is the senior officer in charge
of the activities concerning the preparation and certification of Star Fleet instructors and
training personnel. The COMEDUPER is an officer of the line and will typically have the
rank of Commodore.

8.8 MISCELLANEOUS DIVISIONS

The Department of the Star Fleet contains some divisions that cannot be precisely
grouped under any of the categories listed in Section 8.0. As such, these divisions are
placed under the category of “miscellaneous divisions”. The following divisions or offices
are within this category:
A. Star Fleet Bureau of Chaplains and Lay Persons, and

B. Star Fleet Office of Public Relations.
STAR FLEET OFFICE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS
The function of the Star Fleet Office of Public Relations (SFPUB) is the management
of outside communication for the Department of the Star Fleet in order to create and
maintain a positive image. In general, public relations will involve popularizing successes,
downplaying failures, announcing changes, and many other activities. As such, this office
will focus on two-way communications in order to foster mutually beneficial relationships
between Star Fleet and its publics. The Star Fleet Office of Public Relations reports
directly to the Office of the Director: Star Fleet Command and is comprised almost
entirely of civilians hired because of their expertise in public relations and advertising.
Generally speaking, public relations should be seen as a necessary management function

in any organization. In order to successfully implement good public relations, this office will
develop ways to communicate to its audience (whether internal or to the external public)
messages that coincide with the goals of the Department of the Star Fleet that seek to
benefit mutual interests whenever possible.
As part of its function to project a positive image, the Office of Public Relations will also
work with the Star Fleet Division of Personnel vis-à-vis the advertisement of openings
within the Department and will publish information regarding the Star Fleet in order to
attract prospective recruits. Advertising is part of the recruiting process, and will usually be
carried out via several means: through mass media, through professional publications,
through a job center, through campus graduate recruitment programs, etc.
In charge of this office is the Commander: Public Relations (CPUB) who is responsible
for establishing and maintaining the image of the Department of the Star Fleet to the
Federation and others. The Commander: Public Relations is responsible to the
1. Aiding the Division of Personnel in recruitment efforts,

2. Performing news interviews and aiding the Director in such matters,
3. Promoting the Department of the Star Fleet to the general public, and
4. Publishing and advertising for recruitment and other purposes.
The CPUB is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the Director and Vice Director with a
rank of Captain. The position of the CPUB was created to be directly under the Director
so as to remain independent of the other divisions within the Department of the Star
Fleet.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
STAR FLEET BUREAU OF CHAPLAINS AND LAY PERSONS
The Star Fleet Bureau of Chaplains and Lay Persons (SFREL) is a special bureau
created to administer the religious and spiritual aspects of Star Fleet life. The bureau is
made up almost entirely of Star Fleet Service personnel and constitutes the entire Star
Fleet Chaplain Corps. The Department does not hire civilian chaplains, priests, ministers
or religious personnel. The organizational chart for the Bureau of Chaplains and Lay
Persons is shown in Figure 1a88.1.
The Office of Star Fleet Chaplains manages all Star Fleet Chaplains within the corps.
Its function is to recruit, train, certify, ordain and assign chaplains and lay persons for fleet
duty. As part of this training, prospective chaplains will be educated in the various religions
practiced throughout the Federation and will be trained in the various religious services
and techniques employed by such religions. As such, Star Fleet Chaplains are authorized
to perform religious services of many different faiths.
The function of the Office of Religions and Religious Studies, within the bureau, is to
research and study the many religions and religious, mystical or other beliefs held by all
civilizations, worlds and societies, and to provide Star Fleet Command with the results of
such investigations. From this research guidelines will be developed for use by Star Fleet
Chaplains, Commanding Officers and anyone else in the Department that could use
this information, and may be of use to Star Fleet Intelligence as well as to Star Fleet
sociologists and psychologists.
The Office of Star Fleet Lay Personnel was created to manage, train and certify lay
personnel for commands where a Chaplain billet is not available. The function of lay
persons is to allow the practicing of religious beliefs and [informal] services in order to
meet the requirements of Star Fleet Regulation 4450. This office not only trains and
certifies lay persons, but also develops the manuals and procedures that will be used by
lay persons out in the fleet.
In charge of the Bureau of Chaplains is the Chief of Star Fleet Chaplains (CREL)
who is the senior officer in command of all religious activities, facilities and personnel
within the Department of the Star Fleet. In addition, the CREL is the senior officer of
the Star Fleet Chaplain Corps and is responsible to the Director: Star Fleet
Command for:
1. Developing the standards for Star Fleet Chaplains and Lay Persons,
2. Developing programs for religious services and functions,
3. Training Chaplains and Lay Persons, and
4. Developing the training programs for Chaplains and Lay Persons.
The CREL is an officer of the Chaplain Corps (CHP) junior to the Director and Vice
Director with the rank of Rear Admiral. The position of the CREL was created to be
directly under the Director so as to remain independent of the other divisions within the

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCS

COORDINATE SYSTEM
In order to standardize the location of an object in space or a direction in space, the
Federation Council established the Federation Standard Coordinate System or
SCS, which is based upon the location of the Federation Treaty Zone center relative to
the center of the galaxy. The SCS is basically a spherical coordinate system, with the
center of the sphere corresponding to the center of the Federation. All direction radiates
from this central point. The purpose of this document is to explain the process from which
the SCS was developed.
The first step in the establishment of the SCS system was to determine the location of the
center of the Federation Treaty Zone. The center was based upon the known stars
within a 20 light-year radius from Earth. This grouping of stars is known as the
Federation Treaty Zone Standard Stars, as described in Section 5.2, and are the stars
used to establish the SCS coordinate system and which define the Federation Treaty
Zone. These stars are listed in the table below.
Table 1aA.1
FEDERATION TREATY ZONE STANDARD STARS
Distance Distance
Star Star

Sol - Earth 0.0 61 Cygni 11.1
Proxima Centauri 4.3 Procyon 11.3
Alpha Centauri 4.3 Epsilon Indii 11.4
Barnards 6.0 Tau Ceti 11.8
Wolf 359 7.7 Kapteyn’s Star 12.7

Sirius 8.7 40 Eridani 16.0
UV Ceti - Vulcan 9.0 Altair 16.0
Epsilon Eridani 10.8 70 Ophiuchi 16.5
The coordinates (x, y, z) of the standard stars were mapped to the plane of Earth. The
XYZ coordinates for the center of the Treaty Zone was determined by calculating the
average x, y and z coordinate values of the stars to obtain a single x, y, z value. To set the
size of the Treaty Zone, the maximum x, y and z values were obtained and the distance
from the center or radius was calculated as such:
r = x2 + y 2 + z2
Based on this equation, the radius of the Federation Treaty Zone was determined to be
approximately 20.8 light-years. The next step was to normalize or reset the location of the
known stars to the new SCS coordinate system. This was performed by subtracting the
individual x, y and z coordinates of the known stars by the x, y and z coordinates of the
Treaty Zone center. By doing this, the base coordinate for the center becomes the origin
of the SCS coordinate system (0, 0, 0). This process is known as axis or coordinate system
translation.

STAR FLEET COMMAND
To reiterate, the SCS coordinate system is defined such that the XY-plane cuts through
the center of the Treaty Zone through the center of the Milky Way galaxy as illustrated in
Figure 1a51.5 in this volume. As such, since the coordinates were initially established using
the plane of the Earth, the coordinate system had to be rotated such that the 0o point on
the XY and Z planes point to the center of the galaxy. This requires a rotation of the XY
and Z planes.
The equations for rotating a coordinate system are listed below, where theta () is the
angle of rotation around the specific axis.
x’ x 1 0 0
Rotate around X: y’ = y 0 cos  sin 
z’ z 0 -sin  cos 
x’ x cos  0 -sin 

Rotate around Y: y’ = y 0 1 0
z’ z sin  0 cos 
x’ x cos  sin  0

Rotate around Z: y’ = y -sin  cos  0
z’ z 0 0 1
For this particular instance, rotation was only required around the Y and Z axis. The angles
of rotation were determined based upon the location of the center of the galaxy as seen
from Earth – a point somewhere in the constellation Sagittarius. As such, the coordinates
of all the known stars were recalculated as a result of the rotation using the above
equations. Once the new coordinates (relative to the SCS) for the stars was calculated,
the SCS location in the MARK system and distance for each star was determined resulting
in the Table of Federation Star Systems contained in Appendix B of this volume.

TABLE OF FEDERATION STAR

SYSTEMS
As it was stated in Section 5.1, this Appendix contains most of the stars within the
Federation Exploration Zone. However, there are star systems within the zone that do
not belong to the United Federation, but encroach into Federation space. For example,
Beta Romii (Delta Andromedae highlighted in RED) is listed in the table, but is not a part
of the Federation. This is the home star of the Romulan Star Empire. It was included in
this table to illustrate the proximity of the Romulan Empire to the seat of the Federation.
Some portion of Romulan space is within and is surrounded by the Federation
Exploration Zone. This is another source of political tension with the Romulans as they
perceive that the Federation has boxed-in their empire from exploring the more densely
populated areas of the galaxy, and it is believed that they feel uncomfortable that their
home world is somewhat surrounded by the “enemy.” Also, star systems highlighted in
LIGHT BLUE are territories belonging to social systems outside the Federation.
Federation space, although small in comparison with the entire galaxy, contains many
star systems. The table below lists most of the 2188 stars that are located within the
Federation Exploration Zone. The PINK shaded entries are Treaty Zone star
systems.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The function of the Star Fleet Guide is to provide a background explanation of the
reasons why the Star Fleet, as well as the United Federation of Planets, was created in
the manner presented in Star Fleet Command Manual.
The history of the Star Fleet Command Manual goes back to 1973 after the book “The
Making of Star Trek” came out. At the time I was in the U.S. Navy Submarine Service as
a nuclear operator. Being on a nuclear submarine is very close to being in a space craft.
In fact it is the closest thing to a Starship than anything else on the planet. Living on a
submarine one gets to understand what is needed in terms of the systems and resources
required to maintain operations within a closed space for an extended period of time. As
such, I began laying out the foundation for the manual. It wasn’t until I received my
degree in nuclear engineering and physics that I began looking into the scientific and
engineering aspects of Star Fleet.
The timeframe for the Star Fleet Command Manual is sometime in the year 2277. This is
after the original television series (TOS), but before the first movie. This timeframe was
selected because I wanted to take a “snapshot” of Star Fleet at a particular point in time.
The reason being is that I wanted to create a detailed description of the Star Fleet, and
to move too much through time would have diluted this effort. As such, the manual
would form a basis for future expansion in order to cover the periods of the movies and
the later television versions.
The Star Fleet Command Manual is organized into volumes. We start by laying out the
foundation for the world of the Federation and of Star Fleet. This is encapsulated in
Volume I. Volumes II, III, IV and VI go into more detail regarding the operation of Star
Fleet. Now being a techie and an engineer/physicist, I cannot resist getting into the
details of how Starships are made and how they operate. As such, Volumes V and VII go
into such details – basing much on my experience as a nuclear engineer associated with
the effort, requirements and specifications needed to design, build and operate nuclear
power plants and submarines.
One last point I wish to make is that I believe that the Star Fleet of the TOS era was a
military organization. As such, the structure set forth in the Star Fleet Command Manual
will be based upon this belief. Many may not agree with this assessment and they are
entitled to their opinion. But all evidence in the TOS fully suggests that it is. Perhaps the
later Star Fleet of the Next Generation series may suggest otherwise, the fact remains
that in the TOS era the Star Fleet was military. However, to those that think otherwise,
you can rest in comfort with the belief that all organizations change over time and that
the original Star Fleet may evolve into a different organization.

2.0 CHAPTER NOTATIONS

CHAPTER 1
1. The history put forward in Section 1.1 was based upon a combination of the
description of events brought out during the shows, movies and from all the books
published regarding the Star Fleet - reconciled against what would most probably
occur in reality. In creating a timeline the first priority was to map out the events as
explained in the original television series (TOS). The TV series data took precedence
over all other documents and media since it is from the series that we get the initial
picture of the Star Fleet and the United Federation. However, not everything from
the original series was taken verbatim. In addition, it was discovered that there
were many inconsistencies between the various books and the later movies and TV
shows. Therefore, we will treat the events in the TV and movie world as just that –
reenactments and dramatic entertainment based upon an existing Federation Star
Fleet.
2. One need only examine the events of today to agree with this paragraph.
3. The Articles of Federation were taken from the Star Fleet Technical Manual
(TM379260) by Franz Joseph (Reference 8). This is a very good start in establishing
a United Federation of Planets and appears to blend in nicely with how the Star Fleet
in the original series functioned. It should be noted that the Articles appear to use
much of the same language as that published in the United Nations charter.
Therefore, I felt that I could directly copy it from Reference 8. However, I did make
some minor changes here and there in order to clarify a point or to specify a
particular action or person.
In addition, it was decided that the planet Vulcan did not originally sign-on to the
Federation. I use as my evidence the statements made by Kirk in Amok Time
regarding T’Pau’s refusal to sit on the Federation Council, and Sarek’s objection to
Star Fleet service (Journey to Babel). Therefore, it would appear that there were
many high-ranking Vulcans that objected to such a Federation. And one should
consider that Vulcans would first fully analyze and debate the impact of joining such
a confederation before signing on. Vulcans do not make snap decisions and usually
spend a lot of time in their logical analyses.
4. This paragraph was added since the Articles did not explicitly establish an executive
to the Federation Council. The office of a Federation Council President was therefore
added. This is consistent with notion that there existed a Federation Council
President based upon the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and later movies.
5. This paragraph was added for the same reason as in note 4 above, but to also
consider the absence of the President.
6. Same as above.
7. The sentence was added to include a person to head the Military Staff Committee.
The position Chairman: Joint Chiefs of Staff was selected because Paragraph 2 of
Article 47 refers to the Chiefs of Staff of Federation member forces. Therefore, it was
logical to have a Chairman of such a group as in the U.S. military structure.

8. This paragraph was reworded to make it more generic. The original text defined
Heavy Cruiser. It was decided to identify the class of ships to be generic cruisers. In
addition, the original text stated the authorization and construction of 14 of such
ships. It was decided to reduce this value to 12 in order to be consistent with the
book The Making of Star Trek by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry
(Reference 11), and with the TOS episode Tomorrow is Yesterday.
9. This paragraph was reworded. The original text talked of “lesser” classes of ships,
specifically destroyers, escorts, etc. These are combatants, though not of the same
class or firepower as a cruiser. Therefore, the idea of combatants, of any class,
would be rolled-up into generic star cruisers as in Paragraph 1 and as such,
Paragraph 2 would consider other classes of ships that would support the fleet,
which to the crews, at least, would not be considered as a “lesser” class of ship, but
designed for a purpose other than to be strictly combatant.
10. Reworded.
CHAPTER 2
1. The Articles of Federation established the law of the Federation. Therefore, it was
decided that a similar document, with a similar format as the Articles, be created to
establish the Star Fleet Service in particular.
2. Several hints in the TV series gave the impression that many Vulcans did not
necessarily approve of Star Fleet. This was evidenced in the TOS episodes Amok
Time and Journey to Babel. As explained in Amok Time, T’Pau, a very powerful and
influential Vulcan leader, refused a seat on the Federation Council, which implies that
she did not agree with the decision to join the Federation or approved of any of its
agencies or institutions. In Journey to Babel this feeling is more explicit. Amanda
informs Kirk that Sarek, an important Ambassador for Vulcan and from a very
influential family, does not completely approve of Star Fleet because he believes that
peace cannot be maintained by force. Therefore, there appears to be some
precedence to the belief that not all of Vulcan approves of Star Fleet, but as a
member of the Federation, must support its institutions including Star Fleet, if only
with token gestures.
3. An example of this could be seen in the TOS episode Mudd’s Women. As Leo Walsh,
Harry Mudd’s vessel was forcibly stopped, Harry incarcerated and a hearing on his
violations convened. He was charged with illegally operating a space vessel;
specifically, charged with traveling through space without a flight plan and without a
functioning identification beam, failure to answer or yield to a Starship’s signal, and
for operating a deep space vessel without a Master’s license.
4. This could be seen in the TOS episode A Taste of Armageddon. Captain Kirk was
under direct authority of Ambassador Fox.
5. As illustrated in the TOS episode The Trouble with Tribbles when the Federation
Undersecretary for Agriculture Nilz Baris demanded that Kirk provide him with a
security detachment to guard the grain, and this rule was further underscored by
Admiral Fitzpatrick.
6. This was illustrated in the TOS episode The Galileo Seven when High Commissioner
Ferris did not interfere with Kirk’s investigation of Murasaki 312 until it interfered
with Ferris’ mission.

CHAPTER 3
Throughout the television episodes and the movies several “regulations” were stated.
However, unlike General Orders, which appear to be consistent, there does not appear to
be any rhyme or reason to the regulations. Therefore, it was decided that a consistent
set of Star Fleet Regulations had to be developed. The Star Fleet Regulations as
presented in this chapter were based upon U.S. Navy regulations, though specifically
tailored to Star Fleet. This would be consistent since the basic structure of Star Fleet
seems to adopt the structure of the U.S. Navy.
CHAPTER 4
The organization presented in this chapter is as detailed as possible to show the size and
scope of Star Fleet. If it appears to be somewhat bureaucratic, it is. Just think of the size
of the Federation with all of its planets and worlds and one can just imagine the size and
scope of the bureaucracy of that organization – it would dwarf the federal government.
Although I originally developed most of the organization back in 1973, I reviewed the
organization charts of the various other publications to determine if I was missing
something.
1. The title of “Director” was chosen instead of Commander since it would give the chief
Star Fleet commander both a military and civilian character to it. The Director is both
the chief military officer of the Star Fleet and its chief representative to the
Federation. As such, the Director is like the Secretary of the Navy as well as the Chief
of Naval Operations for the U.S. Navy.
2. The idea of a “Fleet Representative” was developed in order to delegate the
diplomatic responsibility of Star Fleet to specialists. Star Fleet Representatives,
though having a military rank, are essentially semi-military. This is not unlike the
diplomatic service of British officers in the old Foreign Service.
CHAPTER 5
1. The idea of bisecting the quadrant made perfect sense to me considering how others
have defined the quadrants. Many publications have the center of the Federation
directly on the line (border) separating the Alpha Quadrant with the Beta Quadrant,
and then stating that the UFP is in the Alpha Quadrant. But if the UFP is on the line,
could it not just as well be in the Beta Quadrant? This made no sense to me,
therefore, the separation of the quadrants as shown in Figure 1a51.1.
2. Giving the diameter of the UFP at 450 light-years was very reasonable to me. I had
to reject the size of the UFP, as presented in the Star Fleet Technical Manual
(TM379260) by Franz Joseph (Reference 8) because it was ridiculously large. A
radius of 4750 parsecs would result in an area with a diameter of about 31,000 light-
years – the approximate distance from Earth to the center of the galaxy. I doubt very
much that that area of space could be explored and properly mapped in a 200-year
timeframe, much less even reaching that distance.

3. Zeta Andromedae was chosen for the Romulan star since it was in the general
direction described in the TOS episode Balance of Terror. In this episode the
Romulan ship was headed towards their home region of space in the direction 111-
MARK-014. Therefore, a star had to be selected that was in that direction, but not
too deep into Federation territory. As such, Zeta Andromedae was selected since it
was about 100 light-years from Earth – not too close yet not too far.
4. The idea of dividing a sector into 27 cubical units was decided because of the
reference to Sector 39J in the TOS episode The Immunity Syndrome. It also allows
the use of all 26 letters of the English alphabet as well.
5. UV Ceti was selected for the Vulcan star since, like the Romulan star Zeta
Andromedae, it was located in the same general area of space. This made sense
since it was implied that the Romulans were an offshoot of Vulcans. Therefore, since
it can be surmised that early Vulcan technology did not allow for Warp-driven
vessels, the Romulan star had to be somewhere in the area, but far enough away so
as to separate the two cultures and allow each to evolve in different directions.
6. The original series had many versions or definitions for Code 1 emergencies, as
illustrated in The Star Trek Encyclopedia (Reference 10.) Therefore, it was decided
that a single definition for Code 1 was needed. As such, it was defined as a General
Invasion/Galactic War as used in the TOS episodes Errand of Mercy and The
Alternative Factor. The Code 1 Emergency used in The Trouble with Tribbles will be
defined as a Code 2 Alert.
CHAPTER 6
1. The idea of establishing entrance requirements came from the TV show Star Trek:
The Next Generation (STTNG) as a result of Wesley Crusher becoming a de facto
Star Fleet Ensign. He appeared to be too young to enter the Academy in the earlier
episodes, but was later allowed to take the examinations. Therefore, it was decided
to create some form of entrance criteria into the service.
2. Reserve reactivation was employed to bring Dr. McCoy back into the service in the
movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture (STTMP).
3. As specified in the TOS episode The Corbomite Maneuver.
4. Although never discussed, it would be reasonable to suppose that Star Fleet also
contains civilian employees as well.
5. This statistic makes sense considering that we see more Earth humans in Star Fleet
in the various TV episodes and movies. Also, consider that Kirk talked about a
combined or unified Earth force to Captain John Christopher in the TOS episode
Tomorrow is Yesterday, and the many times it was said about Star Fleet being
originated on Earth.
6. I thought that it would be a good idea to have a Code of Conduct.

VOLUME I
STAR FLEET COMMAND
CHAPTER 7
1. The use of the metric or SI system was established early on in the TOS series. I
simply codified it here.
2. I chose to create two versions of the Stardate in order to establish an absolute and a
relative time. The definition of the Local Stardate being a 6-hour period conforms
well to the total time the Enterprise was on its 5-year mission in the TOS series.
Using this definition and looking at the last TOS Stardate of 5943.7, we come up with
a total travel time of 3.17 years, which conforms well to the number of TOS seasons
or years.
3. This is my interpretation of the flag that was displayed in the briefing room from the
TOS episodes: The Menagerie (Parts 1 & 2) and Space Seed.
4. I added these flags in order to keep with the definition of a Flag Officer, which was
referenced in TOS episode The Deadly Years and the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath
of Kahn. Since a “Flag Officer” is one that can fly his or her own flag, a flag standard
had to be developed.
5. I called this a “Fleet Service Pennant” for no other reason than to come up with
some name for it. The Commissioning Pennant was easy to define since it matches
well with the commissioning pennants of U. S. Navy ships – a thin streamer. And
since the registry number was placed inside the pennant, it made sense to call it a
Commissioning Pennant. However, the other decal on the TOS model was a bit more
difficult to define. So I decided to call it a “Fleet Service” pennant, which is used to
identify ships that are assigned to fleet duty. Other ships of the Star Fleet, especially
those manned and operated by civilian crews, would not have such a device.
6. Some people may not agree with this one, but the fact is that in the TOS episode
The Menagerie the flag secretary to Commodore Mendez stood up and came to
attention when he entered and passed as seen in Figure 1a76.1. In addition, Kirk
also required his “Shore Patrol” to come to attention in the TOS episode The Trouble
With Tribbles as well. Therefore, it was assumed that in this era of the Star Fleet
officers and enlisted still came to attention as a sign of respect and discipline.
7. Manning the side still appears to be performed as illustrated in the TOS episode
Journey To Babel.
CHAPTER 8
1. This chapter was included as a complement to Chapter 4, but instead of discussing

the titles of the various division heads, this chapter looks at the division structure, its
bureaus and offices.
2. In the TOS episode The Mark of Gideon Lt. Uhuru mentioned the Bureau of Planetary
Treaties was mentioned to Spock. We therefore can conclude that this bureau is a
Federation diplomatic organization and that the Star Fleet Bureau of Treaties and
Agreements works with the Bureau of Planetary Treaties.
