History

Starfleet's early history was left obscure, until the series Star Trek: Enterprise demonstrated that an Earth Starfleet had been operating at least 18 years prior to the founding of the Federation (according to the episode "First Flight"), as Starfleet conducted the Warp 2 and 3 tests and several high-ranking officers referred to graduating from Starfleet Training. The starship Enterprise (NX-01) Star Trek: Enterprise is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe. ... First Flight is the title of a Star Trek: Enterprise television episode from season two. ... The official logo of Starfleet Academy, circa 2370. ...


During production of early episodes of the original series, several details of the makeup of the Star Trek universe had yet to be worked out, including the operating authority for the USS Enterprise. Several episodes refer to the United Earth Space Probe Agency (UESPA) as the Enterprise's operating authority before the term 'Starfleet' became widespread.[citation needed] The starship Enterprise as it appeared on Star Trek Star Trek is a culturally significant science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s. ... The USS Enterprise, (NCC-1701) is a fictional starship in the television series Star Trek, which chronicles the vessels most famous assignment, its Five-Year mission. ...


References to UESPA in the Star Trek universe can be dated back as far as 2067, as the Friendship One probe is marked with the letters UESPA-1 in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Friendship One". Other background props included UESPA references as well, such as Captain Jean-Luc Picard's family album in Star Trek: Generations. The starship Voyager (NCC-74656), an Intrepid-class starship. ... Friendship One is the title of the 167th episode of the science fiction television series, Star Trek: Voyager. ... Captain is a commissioned rank of the Starfleet in the fictional universe of Star Trek. ... Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, is a character from the Star Trek franchise who appears in the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation, in the movies Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and Star Trek: Nemesis, and makes a cameo appearence in... Star Trek: Generations (Paramount Pictures, 1994, see also 1994 in film) is the seventh feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...


During the production of Star Trek: Enterprise, some larger Starfleet insignia designs included the script "United Earth Space Probe Agency" to pay homage to the original series and explain away the contradiction of competing agencies by implying they are, in fact, the same organization that serves as the exploration arm of the United Federation of Planets.[citation needed] This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...


Following Cochrane's first warp flight in 2063, Earth founded a few colonies in nearby star systems and established trade routes with a few species, such as the Vulcans and Denobulans. Soon after, the first attempts of deep-space exploration were conducted, such as the launch of the SS Valiant, according to the Star Trek episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before". It has been suggested that Tplana-hath be merged into this article or section. ... The Denobulan are a fictional humanoid race in the Star Trek universe. ... In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the name Valiant was used by many starships, most of which are part of the Federation Starfleet. ... Where no man has gone before is a saying used in the introductory sequence of all but one of the episodes of the original Star Trek science fiction television series. ...


It was under Starfleet's auspices that humanity expanded upon Cochrane's vision of instellar warp flight. Incorporating research begun by Cochrane and Henry Archer in 2119, Starfleet research led to the first successful flight of Warp 3 engines in the 2140s.[citation needed] The NX program greatly expanded the reach of humanity across the stars.[citation needed]


In 2151, Starfleet launches the first Human Warp 5-capable starship, the Enterprise (in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Broken Bow") followed by the Columbia (according to the Enterprise episode "E²") in 2155, and other vessels. The Enterprise (NX-01) is a starship in the Star Trek fictional universe commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer. ... Broken Bow can refer to several different things. ... E² is the title of an episode from the third season of the television series Star Trek: Enterprise. ...


Starfleet became the lead exploratory and military wing of the United Federation of Planets. While ships like the USS Enterprise have a mixed-species crew, other vessels, such as the USS Intrepid in the Star Trek episode "The Immunity Syndrome and the USS T'Kumbra in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite", have single-species crews. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... The USS Enterprise, (NCC-1701) is a fictional starship in the television series Star Trek, which chronicles the vessels most famous assignment, its Five-Year mission. ... The Immunity Syndrome is a second season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series first broadcast January 19, 1968 and repeated June 7, 1968. ... Space station Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (ST:DS9 or STDS9 or DS9 for short) is a science fiction television series produced by Paramount and set in the Star Trek universe. ... Take Me Out to the Holosuite is a seventh season episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine first broadcast on October 21, 1998. ...


Eventually, Starfleet would adopt its Prime Directive of non-interference with developing worlds or other worlds' internal politics. This was not a human construct, but stemmed from policies originally implemented by the Vulcans, who used the attainment of warp speed as a barometer for making first contact with a civilization. The Prime Directive and Starfleet's first contact policies are at the center of several episodes in each Star Trek series and the film Star Trek: Insurrection. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article may require cleanup. ... A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. ... First contact is a term used to describe a first meeting of two previously unknown cultures. ... Star Trek: Insurrection (Paramount Pictures, 1998) is the ninth Star Trek feature film. ...


Starfleet Headquarters has buildings northeast of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Fort Baker area. Starfleet's Academy is located in the Presidio of San Francisco, a park on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, with some buildings further inland. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening into the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. ... The Parade Grounds at the Presidio of San Francisco. ...


Starfleet established a series of starbases throughout Federation territory. Starbases were built either as planetside facilities or as orbital docking stations. A starbase is usually portrayed as a facility strategically positioned in space used to repair and re-supply starships. ...


Mission

Starfleet has been shown to handle diplomatic, scientific, and military missions, although their main mandate seems to be one of peaceful exploration in the search of sentient life. The flagship of Starfleet is often considered to be the starship USS Enterprise, even though that ship has generally not been commanded by a flag officer. A flagship is the ship used by the commanding officer of a group of naval ships. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... A Flag Officer is a naval officer of a high rank entitling him to fly a personal flag, especially on his flagship. ...


In the early years of Starfleet, as seen in Star Trek: Enterprise, Starfleet's mission is purely exploration and is not military in any sense except for weapons designed for defensive capabilities until the retrofitting of the Enterprise and the incorporation of MACOs after the Xindi attack on Earth. It is assumed this trend continues as Starfleet adopts a more traditional military role and assumes its regular place as the exploratory and defensive arm of the UFP. The starship Enterprise (NX-01) Star Trek: Enterprise is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe. ... The Enterprise (NX-01) is a starship in the Star Trek fictional universe commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer. ... MACO The MACOs (Military Assault Command Operations) are an elite Terran military command in the Star Trek: Enterprise fictional universe. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

  • A hearing is held to decide whether to extradite Worf to the Klingons in "Rules of Engagement"[1]

Space station Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (ST:DS9 or STDS9 or DS9 for short) is a science fiction television series produced by Paramount and set in the Star Trek universe. ...


Different species in Starfleet

Though Starfleet is composed of individuals from many races, Humans are the most often seen crewmembers onscreen, with Vulcans perhaps being the most common aliens seen. Star Trek: The Next Generation saw the introduction of Starfleet's first Klingon officer, and other races such as Bolians, Betazoids, Trills were seen and given more central roles in later series. For its first two seasons, Star Trek: Enterprise was the only show to have an entirely Human Starfleet crew owing to its being set before the formation of the Federation, though the vessel did carry Doctor Phlox, a Denobulan serving in a medical exchange program, and T'Pol, then serving as an observer from the Vulcan High Command. In the Star Trek science fiction universe, Humans/Terrans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are one of the races undertaking interstellar travel. ... It has been suggested that Tplana-hath be merged into this article or section. ... This article is about the fictional race. ... Bolian female circa 2360s. ...

In the 22nd century, the Vulcan High Command is apparently a form of military government which controls both the Vulcan space fleet and most of the planet itself. ...


Even after the formation of the Federation, however, segregated starships crewed entirely by members of one race were allowed. The USS Intrepid had an all-Vulcan crew in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Immunity Syndrome." Another all-Vulcan crew, from the USS T'Kumbra, was featured on the DS9 episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite". The Immunity Syndrome is a second season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series first broadcast January 19, 1968 and repeated June 7, 1968. ... Take Me Out to the Holosuite is an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. ...


Apparently, Earth citizenship was not a necessary pre-condition to joining Starfleet, as T'Pol enlisted following the Xindi mission and her resignation from the High Command. Even after the formation of the Federation, citizenship is still not a requirement, as several officers are from planets that are not part of the Federation. For example, Bajoran Colonel Kira Nerys was field commissioned as a Starfleet commander so that she could aid the Cardassian resistance during the Dominion War without jeopardizing Bajor's non-aggression pact with the Dominion. Also, Quinn and Icheb (Star Trek: Voyager) both spoke of joining Starfleet. While Worf, Ro Laren, and Sito Jaxa were all from non-Federation planets, it is possible they were granted asylum and gained citizenship when they came to the Federation.

Ensign Sito Jaxa Sito Jaxa is a Star Trek character, played by Shannon Fill, who is a Bajoran Starfleet officer in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. ...


Additionally, Nog became the first Ferengi in Starfleet. When Nog attempts to apply to the Academy, he is told that since he is from a non-member world (Ferenginar), he requires a letter of recommendation from a command-level officer before his application can be considered. This is most likely standard procedure for all non-Federation applicants to Starfleet. Nog was a recurring character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, played by Aron Eisenberg. ... The Ferengi are a fictional extraterrestrial race from the Star Trek universe. ... In the Star Trek universe, Ferenginar is the homeworld of the Ferengi and the capital of the Ferengi Alliance. ...


In the Star Trek Expanded Universe, the Bajoran Militia was integrated into Starfleet upon Bajor's entry into the Federation, and Col. Kira was promoted to the rank of Starfleet Captain. Presumably, the same procedure was used to absorb the military and space forces of other Federation member worlds, although the TNG episode "Unification Part II" implied that Vulcan still had an independent defense force. It has been suggested that Other storylines in Star Trek be merged into this article or section. ... The Bajoran Militia is the military arm of the Bajoran government. ... Unification is the title of a two-part Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, from the fifth season. ...
