STARFLEET (SFC Extreme)

{=★=} STARFLEET {=★=}

STARFLEET is an alliance in the Starfleet Commander Extreme universe. It's tag is: {=★=}.

The STARFLEET alliance was founded by players Fleet Marshal R.M. Hill and Fleet Admiral Sam Hill on the principle that all players of the game should be able to belong to an alliance regardless of player rank, the number of planets they control, or what technologies they possess. The STARFLEET alliance is open to all serious players in the Starfleet Commander Extreme universe.

Role Playing

The members of STARFLEET take the gameplay to a whole new level. Instead of just building ships, settling colonies and attacking planets, we have established an in-game military organization with it's own chain of command and unique rank structure. We have even broken down the game universe into command echelons for better control of our forces. This wiki page will explain how our alliance is organized and how we play the game together in STARFLEET.

Organizational Command Structure

STARFLEET is broken down into several command echelons which allow us to be better able to control our forces through out the universe.

UNIVERSE- The STARFLEET alliance spans the entire Starfleet Commander Extreme Universe. The Commander-in-Chief of STARFLEET, the Fleet Marshal, commands all STARFLEET forces through out the entire universe.

UNIVERSAL SUBSECTION or "SUBVERSE"- The Universe is broken down into 4 seperate Subverses. Each Subverse consists of 5 galaxies and is commanded by a Fleet Admiral known as the Subverse Force Commander (SubForCom). The Fleet Admirals report directly to the Fleet Marshal.

Subverse I covers galaxies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The commander of Subverse I is designated SubForCom-I.

Subverse II covers galaxies 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. The commander of Subverse II is designated SubForCom-II.

Subverse III covers galaxies 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The commander of Subverse III is designated SubForCom-III.

Subverse IV covers galaxies 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The commander of Subverse IV is designated SubForCom-IV.

GALAXY- There are 20 galaxies in the Starfleet Commander Extreme universe. STARFLEET forces in each of these 20 galaxies are commanded by an Admiral known as the Galactic Force Commander (GalForCom). The designation of the commander of a specific galaxy would be GalForCom-#(i.e. The 12th Galactic Force Commander's designation would be GalForCom-12).

QUADRANT- Each galaxy is broken down into 4 seperate quadrants. These quadrants are designated Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Quadrants. STARFLEET Forces in each quadrant are commanded by a Vice Admiral known as the Quadrant Force Commander (QuadForCom). The designation of the commander of a specific quadrant of a specific galaxy would be QuadForCom-#X (i.e. The Force Commander of the Alpha Quadrant in the 17th Galaxy would be QuadForCom-17A.)

Quadrants consist of 5 sectors for a total of 20 sectors per galaxy. This is how the sectors are organized within the quadrants of a galaxy:

Alpha Quadrant covers sectors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Beta Quadrant covers sectors 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Gamma Quadrant covers sectors 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Delta Quadrant covers sectors 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.

SECTOR- Sectors are made up of 24 or 25 systems. There are 5 sectors in a quadrant for a total of 20 sectors per galaxy. STARFLEET forces in each sector are commanded by a Rear Admiral known as the Sector Force Commander (SectForCom). The designation of the commander of a specific sector would be SectForCom-#X# (i.e. The Force Commander of the 14th Sector, Gamma Quadrant, 8th Galaxy would be SectForCom-8A14).

There are 499 total systems in every galaxy. Quadrants Alpha, Beta and Gamma consists of 125 systems. Delta Quadrants consist of 124 systems. This means that all sectors designated Sectors 1 through 19 have 25 systems each. All sectors designated Sector 20 only have 24 systems. This is how systems are organized within the sectors of a quadrant of a galaxy:

Sector..........Systems

1.................1-25

2.................26-50

3.................51-75

4.................76-100

5.................101-125

6.................126-150

7.................151-175

8.................176-200

9.................201-225

10................226-250

11................251-275

12................276-300

13................301-325

14................326-350

15................351-375

16................376-400

17................401-425

18................426-450

19................451-475

20................476-499

The academy is commanded by the Commandant of STARFLEET ACADEMY who is an Admiral.
