Highest cannon fleet number was the 10th fleet in "In the pale moonlight" the 9th is of course the fleet Martok commanded, the 2nd and 5th were mentioned in "Sacrifce of angels" with one of them being from the Vulcan(is?) front, the seventh was reduced to 14 ships in the Tyra system, and again destroyed trying to retake Betazed and was the fleet that the Destiny belonged to and which (presumbly) retook the Kalandra sector. I have heard mention of a 3rd fleet protecting Earth but I can't think of any epiosed in which it was said.
On a related question what was the highest Order number we heard of? The 11th? The highest jem'hadar unit was the fake 22nd (or was it 24) legion in "In the pale moonlight", any body know any others?

I'd mostly join to meet new people and find out about things. Although the spector of Command would be very appealing, I wouldn't do well in the highly competitive arena of Starfleet. They'd initially track me for engineering, but when they found out that my math-blok starts at integral calculus, I'd have to find something else to do. I'd probably wind up working as an interface designer for the technologists (albeit with a secret burning contempt for the universalization of Starfleet culture that would drive me to insert little in-jokes (that only I would find funny) like ducks and things into their MSDs.) But what I'd really want to do is direct.

What position? Ship's Librarian, of course. "SHH! Or I'll STUN YOU!"
Ah, screw it. Give me a holodeck, a food replicator, and a reliable power source, and you can lock me in. I'll never leave.

In the Starfleet, yes, you can scrub some plasma valves. In the Starfleet, yes, you can put your phaser to stun. In the Starfleet, come on now people, raise those shields. In the Starfleet, where everyone wears skintight suits. In the Starfleet, come on, please don't wear red. In the Starfleet, come on and shoot those Klingons, man. In the Starfleet, come on, please talk technobabble. In the Starfleet, in the Starfleet.

Another, related, question is why would you (or anyone) STAY in Star Fleet after the DW?
I mean from a "certain viewpoint" they *started* the war by sticking their nose in the wormhole even when asked to stop. Sent large numbers to their deaths in ancient Miranda's and generally didn't fight all that well.

all the same reasons people joined the army even after vietnam, a messy, deadly conflict with few answers as to why to whole deal happened... joining the army is usually a personal choice taken for a number of reasons.. while after disturbing conflicts, many types of people would shy away, theres still a large number who will continue to take part.. look at history
