7 Conclusion
7.1 Hello 10th Fleet, my name is Jonathen Zander, I am the Vice Admiral and founder of the 10th Fleet. It was my intention when I started the fleet to give people a place to play Star Trek Online that was fun and fair for everyone. I have worked extremely hard to make sure that this fleet is not just the people you play STO with, but friends that you enjoy interacting with. I truly believe that we have accomplished that time and time again.
Before you dive head long into the game and this great fleet I’d like to tell you how the 10th Fleet became what it is. What was this fleet genesis?
About 15 years ago I was heavily involved with a Star Trek based role play that used the AOL chat room to act out a mission based in the Star Trek universe. After about 2 years of participating in this type of RP with pre-established fleets I decided it was time to set out on my own and develop my own story to tell with in the Star Trek universe. In the year 2000 I started Star Trek: Drakian War, set in the time of Deep Space 9, the Federation was operating a shadow war with a small group of aliens known as the Drakins. The Drakians were identical to humans, except for the fact that they are twice our size. A short Drakian was around 9 feet tall.
As that story came to a close about 5 years later, the fleet began to change. We dropped the DW (Drakian War) from our recruitment chat rooms and added a 9th, for 9th Fleet. We role-played for many more years as the 9th Fleet until one particular story line entitled Dukat’s Revelation played out. By the end of the story arc, almost all of the ships assigned to the 9th Fleet had been destroyed, but Dukat was laid to rest once and for all. It was at this time that my co-fleet leader and I renamed the fleet Revelation Fleet through a story arc that brought the fleet some new ships and characters.
A year later Cryptic studios announced Star Trek Online. Within months of the announcement AOL Star Trek based role playing almost completely died away. My co-leader left altogether and in an effort to save the fleet as it was I decided to take the fleet into STO. However most of the members of the fleet at the time became bitter that STO had pretty much destroyed an activity that they had come to love and refused to come with me.
I started the Revelation Fleet STO division a full year before the game launched. Within 3 months we had 150 unique members making us one of the largest fleets out there pre-launch. February 3rd 2010, STO launched and with only a small fraction of what was promised to us for launch actually available at launch Revelation Fleets numbers began to dwindle quickly. After the first three months our membership dropped to 15 people.
It was at this point that I took a break from the game and closed the fleet down. It was also at this point that the AOL Star Trek based rp finally died.
Three months later I returned to the game and I as the only member of Revelation Fleet. I spent the next year playing STO solo. Until I was recruited into a fleet called Risa Squadron. I spent another year there and learned a lot about the game from some great people in that fleet. However in the end it was not the place for me. Re-starting Revelation Fleet had always been in the back of my mind. Leaving Risa Squadron gave me the perfect chance to get back to work with Revelation Fleet.
Just one month before the launch of season 6 in STO I started recruiting. Revelation Fleet grew steadily and began to prosper. In February of 2013 the fleet was renamed 10th Fleet to enhance our recruiting prospects.
Today we have over 200 members with 20+ active at any given time, we have little to no trouble completing holding projects, and most importantly, we all enjoy Star Trek Online together.
Thank you for joining our exceptional fleet, and Welcome to the mighty 10th.

Three months later I returned to the game and I as the only member of Revelation Fleet. I spent the next year playing STO solo. Until I was recruited into a fleet called Risa Squadron. I spent another year there and learned a lot about the game from some great people in that fleet. However in the end it was not the place for me. Re-starting Revelation Fleet had always been in the back of my mind. Leaving Risa Squadron gave me the perfect chance to get back to work with Revelation Fleet.
Just one month before the launch of season 6 in STO I started recruiting. Revelation Fleet grew steadily and began to prosper. In February of 2013 the fleet was renamed 10th Fleet to enhance our recruiting prospects.
Today we have over 200 members with 20+ active at any given time, we have little to no trouble completing holding projects, and most importantly, we all enjoy Star Trek Online together.
Thank you for joining our exceptional fleet, and Welcome to the mighty 10th.
