The United Federation Starfleet (UFS) is a fan group within virtual world of Second Life 3rd Rock Grid and the Real World.

UFS setting[]

For a more detailed timeline see UFS timeline on the UFS wiki.

Following Shinzon of Remus' coup and then death in 2379 the Romulan Star Empire was left in disarray. The Federation began to provide material and humanitarian aide to the devastated empire and attempted to aid in the creation of a new government. Starfleet starships routinely patrolled Romulan space out of tactical necessity. During one of these patrols near Khitomer a wormhole to the Delta Quadrant was discovered.

The wormhole was found to have a stable exit point in Delta Quadrant, but the entrance could appear anywhere within a 20,000 light year radius. A study of the wormhole allowed for Starfleet to predict where and when the wormhole would appear. However, they also discovered that as time progressed the opportunities for them to use the wormhole to travel to the Delta Quadrant would decrease and any base in the Delta Quadrant would not be able to rely on support from the Alpha Quadrant.

The Pinastri system, some 63,000 light years from Earth, was identified as the perfect location for a colony, expanding the Federation's influence into the Delta Quadrant. It was in a region close to the ruins of the Borg Unicomplex and thanks to the return of the USS Voyager Starfleet Command had access to detailed sensor logs of the area. It was also centrally located close to several key regional political powers.

On the 12th of January 2381, the Federation Council approved the creation of the colony. The first wave left through the wormhole in March. An escorted group of colony ships packed with scientists, engineers and Marines under the command of Admiral Brice Campbell journeyed through the wormhole and made the journey to Pinastri to begin building a colony. Two months later the second wave left the Alpha Quadrant under the command of Admiral Mike Calhoun. The two waves built a colony in Pinastri, making it the Federations first colony within the Delta Quadrant and the setting for UFS.

-What does being a United Federation Starfleet Member mean then? It means that, in addition to being able to wear a unique and cool uniform everyday (although virtual, they are still pretty cool!), and being able to interact with friends and fellow officers on a daily basis, we can actually experience what Starfleet is all about.
-United Federation Starfleet was founded by Michael Vermoesen - aka Admiral Mike Calhoun - and is a group of [[Second Life]] users with a common passion - Star Trek. The group was created to bring people together, from every corner of the world, and then enable them to interact with each other and “live the dream” of being part of the Star Trek universe.
-United Federation Starfleet is located at Sector001, a SIM (short for SIMulator, otherwise known as an “island” in [[Second Life]]) where its members take advantage of a carefully and elegantly constructed "Trek-themed playground" in which to “live the dream”.
-United Federation Starfleet members can enjoy a myriad of facilities including futuristic condo housing, a sandbox, two space stations named Tranquility and Athena, quarters aboard those stations, an officer's lounge, a shopping mall, a recreational beach, quiet parkland and so much more.

-== The UFS Story ==
-In 2371, whilst in pursuit of the [[Maquis]] raider [[Val Jean]] the [[USS Voyager NCC-74656|USS Voyager]] was thrown 75,000 light years into the Delta Quadrant by the entity known as the [[The Caretaker|Caretaker]]. In 2378 The [[USS Voyager NCC-74656|USS Voyager]] concluded its seven-year odyssey through the [[Delta Quadrant]] by using a [[Borg]] [[transwarp conduit]] to return to the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. The ships return was aided by technology brought from the future by [[Kathryn Janeway]] from the year 2404.
-The [[Federation Council]] and [[Starfleet Command]] immediately started detailed analyses of [[USS Voyager NCC-74656|Voyagers]] database and sensor logs to find out as much about the [[Delta Quadrant]] as possible. Whilst the destruction of the [[Borg Unicomplex]] was fantastic, [[Starfleet Command]] felt the threat that the [[Borg]] still potentially posed was too great to ignore.
-[[Starfleet Command]] realised that due to the distances involved they could never adequately support fleet operations in the [[Delta Quadrant]], so feasibility studies for a permanent [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] colony in the [[Delta Quadrant]] began in earnest.
-During 2379, the entire [[Romulan Senate]] was assassinated in a coup by [[Shinzon]] of [[Remus]]. Whilst he was soon deposed, the Empire was left in complete disarray. The Federation began attempts to mediate power-sharing talks between the numerous Romulan and Reman factions, until an agreement was eventually reached whereby [[Remus]] was made a protectorate of the [[Klingon Empire]] and the Reman people allowed to settle on a Romulan continent.
-The [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] also began providing material and humanitarian aide to the devastated [[Romulan Star Empire]], and attempted to facilitate negotiations for the re-establishment of a permanent government. [[Starfleet]] Vessels routinely patrolled the [[Romulan Neutral Zone|Neutral Zone]] and the [[Romulan Star Empire|Star Empire]]. Not only did [[Starfleet]] see this as a tactical necessity, it also provided the opportunity for a new dawn of exploration, which had been virtually stagnant for the previous 12 years.
-Exploring the unknown expanse of the [[Romulan Star Empire|Star Empire]] provided [[Starfleet]] with a much needed excuse to expand its fleet beyond what it had been prior to the [[Dominion War]]. Starfleet wanted to be prepared in case the [[Dominion]] decided to attack the [[Alpha Quadrant]] again.
-During routing patrols on the edge of the Romulan Border near to [[Khittomer]], the [[USS Wraith NX-97511|USS Wraith]], an experimental scout ship, detected an anomaly which turned out to be an intermittent [[Khittomer Wormhole|wormhole]].
-Months of intensive scientific study discovered the [[Khittomer Wormhole|wormhole]] spawned at random anywhere within a 20,000 light year radius. Ongoing scientific studies resulted in being able to predict where and when the [[wormhole]] would next appear. Whilst it opened randomly this side, the far side remained at a stable, permanent location in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. However, once the wormhole closed, the length of time before it opened again got greater each time.
-By mid 2380, [[Starfleet Command]] concluded that opportunities for future travel between the [[Alpha Quadrant]] and [[Delta Quadrant]] via this wormhole would become more and more limited as time progressed. This meant that any [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] colony in the [[Delta Quadrant]] would need to be totally self sufficient and unable to rely on support from the [[Alpha Quadrant]]
-[[Starfleet Command]] identified the [[Pinastri Star System]] in the [[Nekrit Expanse]] region of the [[Delta Quadrant]] as the perfect home for a Federation colony. The region was close to the site of the Borg Unicomplex, a place that Voyager had travelled to on many occasions, therefore it’s sensor logs were full of information about this region of space.
-It is a strategic location within close proximity of a number of alien cultures such as the [[Voth]] and the ruins of the Primary [[Borg Unicomplex]], but also due it being fairly central in the quadrant, it is within warp distance of most of the key political powers. The system is some 63,000 light years from Earth.
-On the 12th January 2381 the [[Federation Council]] finally approved funding for the creation of [[United Federation Starfleet]] to set up a [[Delta Quadrant]] colony. Plans were made for a two-phase journey through the now named "[[Khittomer Wormhole]]" during March and June, the next two occasions when the wormhole would spawn.
-Many Federation construction facilities were utilised as an intensive UFS shipbuilding program began, including the manufacture of [[Cascade Station]] on [[Earth]] prior to transport to the [[Delta Quadrant]] where it was assembled in orbit of [[Pinastri Prime]].
-On March 25th 2381 the initial phase of [[colony ships]], Escorts, scientists, engineers and [[Marines]] under the temporary command of Admiral [[Brice Campbell]], journeyed through the [[Khittomer Wormhole|wormhole]] to the [[Pinastri Star System|Pinastri]] to begin colonisation.
-A little over 2 months later on 1st June 2381 the second phase fleet of Starships, Transports and Freighters under the command of Admiral [[Mike Calhoun]], departs for the [[Delta Quadrant]].
-This is where we are writing history...

-Ranks and promotions in UF Starfleet are imaginary and are meant to be used as signs of recognition of participation and services rendered. A rank does not give any member any rights beyond that.
-<br\>
-Ranks and positions are two distinct terms. No matter where you are stationed at, starship,stations or any facility, you may be the [[commanding officer]] of said unit however your rank prevails and that is how you should be addressed, with the exception of a roleplaying stituation.
-<br\>
-''Example :''
-<br\>
-A starship captain with the rank of Lieutenant and the position of Captain or be in charge of a station with an Ensign rank and the position of Station Commander.
-<br\>
-During roleplaying situation, the said officer may be called Captain or Commander which is their ''POSITION''. While not on relevant roleplaying situation, the officer should be addressed by their ''RANK''.

-{{:Simplified Rank Chart}}
-==  Promotions  ==
-Although Time In Grade (TIG) is a requirement to be granted a promotion - topic to be covered further in this handbook, having fulfilled your TIG is not the sole reason for the assignment of a new rank.

-* Contribution to the group
-* Group Activity Attendance
-* Adding a voice to your division and the group
-* Being helpful and offering leadership to subordinates
-* Cheerfully accepting tasks
-* Setting a good example in your actions and appearance
-Although promotion guidelines are used in most cases, the [[Commander-in-Chief,UFS]] is free to hand out promotions as needed, and can bypass these guidelines if he/she feels special treatment is warranted.
-== Organizational Structure ==
-UF Starfleet is structured into various operational branches. These form the framework of our organizational structure. An officer or enlisted may belong to ''only one'' branch at a time (see 'The UFS Academy Exception' rule) but any member may be stationed on a Starship, be a volunteer for the Charities and Events committee and Inter-Branch projects or as an instructor for UF Starfleet Academy regardless of their primary duty branch.
-The '''[[Branches]]''' are structured as follows:
-=== Command ===
-Headed by the [[Commander-in-Chief,UFS]] and [[Vice-Commander,UFS]].  Members in this Branch are responsible for the administration and background of the group, they work hard so you can play hard. Joining this Branch is upon invitation only.

Ongoing scientific studies result in being able to predict where and when the [[wormhole]] would next appear. It is also discovered that whilst it opened randomly this side, the far side remained at a stable, permanent location in the [[Delta Quadrant]].
-*[[Starfleet]] also soon realise that the length of time between each opening of the [[wormhole]] gets greater between each event.
