Starfleet, also known as the Imperial Starfleet, was the Terran Empire's military organization in the mirror universe. Through Starfleet, the Empire conquered other planets and enforced its rule over those worlds (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror"). Spock later disarmed Starfleet, leaving the Empire vulnerable to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance (DS9: "Crossover").
Fan continuities[]
In Before In a Mirror, Darkly, the 22nd century Starfleet's mission included scientific research and diplomacy where convenient as well as violence. Working with Military Assault Command Operations, Starfleet was the way that the Empire brought order to a chaotic region according to Sergeant Travis Mayweather. Terran crew were normally volunteers, but aliens were usually conscripts. According to Captain Maximillian Forrest, conscripts were not slaves as those who came from worlds that still used money were paid. Starfleet organised itself into assault fleets and had several starbases.
In "A Debt of Honor" and "The Final Days"/"The Gift", Spock was overthrown by Starfleet shortly after coming to power, and the Klingons and Cardassians formed their alliance after Spock's ouster.
In Star Trek: Mirror Wars, the second Terran Empire returned to power and created a new Starfleet. It is unknown if it was called "Starfleet" but the ships were exactly like ships from the primary universe.
In Star Trek: Shattered Universe, the Imperial Starfleet was rekindled in the early 2380s until at least 2383, after the Alliance had barely made a move against the Terran Rebellion. During this time, a shipyard was established to create Terran-style starships. Although this new Starfleet was growing with hopes to match the Alliance, its internal politics and reawakening greed began to lead it toward a downward spiral.
In Star Trek: Remington, the alternate mirror universe counterpart of the Imperial Starfleet was the Third Terran Dominion's Grand Fleet. (Star Trek: Remington: "Reflection")
In Taskforce Equinox, the Terran Rebellion as of 2379, having a need to shift away from their dependence on Raiders, moved to larger more Terran style warships (based on designs stolen from the Prime Federation) however, lacking the proper skill in operating such large vessels the Rebellion relied heavily on former Imperial officers to operate them who quickly resurrected a lot of Imperial protocol's including the name.
