Having a hobby, and something you are passionate about is great - but it’s even better to be able to share that interest with others.

After this mission, I can confidently say that Bravo Fleet offers exactly that. A welcoming community of likeminded people, that offers individuals the opportunity to belong, rather than having to fit in. In this fleet-wide mission, we cheered each other on as we wrote our stories, completed challenges, and met up for game nights.

New cadets should consider that it’s not just a game they are joining - it’s a community, and it’s one that thrives on the ideas of new members, and where everyone - regardless of rank or seniority - contributes.

Are you a Star Trek buff that's always wanted to interact in that world?

Have you always wanted to join Starfleet? Command a starship?

Bravo Fleet's for you! This extensive community has been around for over 20 years. While writing is a mainstay, both solo and collaborative, that isn't the only way to participate. Fun competitions like crosswords, word searches, jigsaw puzzles, and more are posted on a regular basis, and there's a thriving Star Trek Online community, with BF fleets on PC and XBox.

Interaction within the Fleet mostly takes place on the social platform Discord. There is where you can find the answers to questions, have fun sharing memes, and get to know all your cool Fleetmates.

Writing is done on the WordPress website (recently updated!) Here you'll find collaborative writing via the Columbia and Pioneer, your chance to write on your very own ship, competitions, and all kinds of awesome information about Starfleet and the Trekverse to aid in your writing.

Do you have what it takes to be the best of the best? Have you always wished you could join Starfleet?

Welcome to Bravo Fleet.

One of the older numbered fleets, the tradition and legacy is something to take pride in. But don't think for one moment that means it's stuck in the past unwilling to change and adapt. The storied past gives us and you a fine foundation on which to write our own tales, the next chapters in star trek fandom's and clubs. You want games we've got an active STO fleet and a WoWs fleet, come and join. But if you like casual gaming, or perhaps a puzzle or two we've got you covered. Of course writing is and will always be a core part of Bravo Fleet. Have your own command and take your characters on a journey you control and shape, want a writing RPG fix, we have a number, structured ship based to the more open and flexible sandbox type.

Community is at our core, and our lively and active discord promotes that sense and feeling of being among like minded Trekies.

You would of course be more than welcome.

When we look back from that distant star,
We will smile at the how vast we thought our small horizon.
As we sail amongst the nebula and scoop up stellar dust,
We will laugh at the seemingly endless barriers which once divided our home.
Together, we shall dance in orbits and swing past comets,
We will chase and race and tumble in fields of frozen ice.
Each asteroid shall be our plaything,
Each moon our easy rest.
The lightyears will pass in seconds,
As we journey on together.
And when we go, we’ll fly farther, soar faster, climb higher,
because we will be together.
That distant star is only the beginning,
I will race you to the rising dawn.

To reach out to the stars has always been a journey marked by overcoming barriers: the invention of the warp engine, the mastery of stellar navigation, and the calmness required to represent an entire organization when encountering new species. We face dangers and challenges, but we grow smarter from every failure and success, using each piece of information to better ourselves.

For a long time, our engines limited us. You might think we've explored the galaxy and its farthest corners, but we are merely at the beginning of a vast journey. With underspace now within our reach, we can surpass our previous limitations, exploring the unknown to gain new knowledge, meet new species, and forge new friendships.

This path won't be smooth; we will make mistakes. But that's part of the journey. We have experienced leaders who can adapt to any situation, trained at this very academy. You are the future, the pioneers equipped to explore the unknown. Now, more than ever, is the time to join Starfleet, as the universe waits for you!

The best online community out there? That's a paddl... I mean Bravo Fleet!

My name is James, I play a number of roleplay characters in the Star Trek Fan Community, Bravo Fleet and assist new players as a “Task – Force” Executive Officer – but more of that later.

I actually joined Bravo Fleet a number of years ago (I am actually so very, very old that I started playing tabletop RPG’s in the 1970’s and actually used to play ‘play by mail’ games – the forerunner to the anciently - clunky PBEM genre) and, although I was a member of many such “Sims” of the time – enjoying inhabiting the narrative ‘Skins’ of my own creations, Bravo Fleet was always a positive community and welcoming cadre of like – minded people from around the world that always drew me back and did not judge my commitment or time.

After a long hiatus (real – life affording an equal share of exploration and challenges) of 5 years, I recently returned to the 4th Fleet to indulge in my first love – creative writing. What I encountered was an entire New Frontier of innovation and opportunity. In addition to joining in collaborative role-playing with fellow fans in a traditional ‘sandbox’ interaction, I discovered that the Bravo Fleet community welcomed me back to singular opportunities to write my own stories on my own RP ship, to craft and engage in player competitions.

Discord wasn’t even – when I was last here and opened up the opportunity to socialize and meet new people and hone my knowledge and application of Star Trek lore (even though I have been around since the time of Shatner) and embrace new things.

If you are a returning member like me, just plain skeptical, or hopefully ready to join with fellow voyagers and embark upon an ongoing adventure into the realms of friendship and discovery – I welcome you, and hope you choose to join us.

See you out there.
