UCF News 4-Feb-2012 Fleet News
United Confederation Fleet is the proud home of 85 characters serving on 17 SIMs.
The United Confederation Fleet is the operational exploratory and military authority of the United Planetary Confederation political alliance. It was formally formed in 2404 then reformed in 2412 and superseded the role of the UCIP Fleet Command which was a more loosely controlled body tasked with the same purpose.
The UCF, as it it is more commonly referred to, is a structured military styled organization with starships, facilities and personnel donated by its member governments.
Operation of the UCF is overseen by the UCF Council which draws its members from each government that has signed into contributing and cooperating with the UCF. This council appoints a Commander in Chief who commands the organisation on a day to day basis.
All personnel, starships or facilities signed over to UCF use are either contributed for a fixed period of time which may run into years or decades. The contributing government agrees to remove those personnel or starships from their normal chain of command and to turn over all rights of command and control to the UCF Council.
