[QUOTE]Originally posted by The First One: [QB] Oh, I agree there's a border patrol. That was why I made a distinction, in the second paragraph of my last post, between the role Starfleet performs within it's borders and ON it's borders. And really that border patrol is the perfect example of how I see Starfleet policing the Federation. There are going to be certain points which make obvious places for border posts. Here you find the Deep Space stations, monitoring posts, and so forth that we've seen. The mobile element of the border guards, the starships, arrange their patrol routes around these anchoring points, varying the routine for security, and according to intelligence reports. And so it is in the rest of the Federation. Starbases are placed at strategic points, ships fill in the gaps according to whatever duties they're assigned at the time. So, I reckon the 'fleets' we've seen in Deep Space Nine are probably very arbitrary groupings, gathhered together in a way so as not to neglect their regular duties. In order to maintain the organisation of the fleet, ships are assigned by class and 'type' - but which ships of that class/'type' are called to fleet duties depends on the priority of what they're doing at the time.
