Starfleet

From ST_ACTD Wiki

The exploratory and defensive arm of the Federation.

Founded in 2161, Starfleet was composed of portions of the Earth Starfleet, the United Earth military (of which the Earth Military Assault Command Operations division was a part), Andorian Imperial Guard and the Vulcan and Tellarite defense forces.

Until the late 23rd century Federation Starfleet fell under the jurisdiction of the UESPA after which a Starfleet Command was formed. This Starfleet Command answered to the Federation Council and was bound by its General Orders and Regulations

When a planet became a member of the Federation, its military would be incorporated within Starfleet. (DS9: "Rapture")

Starfleet Headquarters and the Starfleet Academy were located in San Francisco on Earth. Starfleet operated a vast number of planetary facilities, starships and starbases. Starfleet personnel wear a Starfleet uniform, rank pins, and a Starfleet Emblem - which would evolve into a combadge.

Starfleet consisted of at least ten fleets and a great number of support facilities.

The Commander-in-Chief (CinC) of Starfleet Command is Fleet Admiral William Crenshaw.
