I typed this up for an IRC sim group a few years ago, never had much of a use for it. Been updating it bit by bit recently, thinking about creating a history and background story for the fleet. But then I'm not really interested in getting into the ST fanfic genre.

This fleet would have in theory been formed only during a major war/emergancy declaration by the Federation president. Normally it exists as several separate patrol groups guarding (based on the map at Ex-Astris site, with the galactic center as "north") the northern stretches of the Federation/Romulan border to the unexplored north, across the Federation/Breen border, and just includes the northern most part of the Federation/Cardassian border. The amount of space they have to patrol justifies the amount of ships they have. The mobile docks and tenders allows the fleet to setup staging areas forward and independent of fleet facilities.

For the USS Tsen Gong are you referring to Cheng Gong, also better known as Lord Koxinga (his Dutch Latinized name)? Would it be better and more recognizable to just call it USS Koxinga?

(For those curious, Lord Koxinga is the conqueror of Taiwan, forcing the Dutch to surrender. He was a major Ming dynasty loyalist warlord and pirate who held off the Manchu conquest of China in the Fujian and Taiwan regions, and at the peak of his power, commanded an armada of thousands of Chinese sailing junks. He was born near Nagasaki to a Ming noble and a Japanese mother, and is also the subject of a historical Kabuki play, Battles of Koxinga).

Sorry, I like to spell it the way I pronounce it. Never quite satisfied with the way it's spelled in books sometimes.

I'm sorry about the casual sex comment...at the time that I wrote it, I just came out of a threesome.

But I still hate the fact that it's rare to see a new freaking ship!!!

No new ships, but use old designs like the Ambassador or the Cheyenne classes.

The whole concept of Survivor is get your average Joe and put him/her on the show and see how they react. Afterwards even though they did not win they make money by appearing on shows. There is no point in having to win a million dollars! They will make that amount in 2 months after appearing on 100 different shows!
